This stuff is absolutely horrible. I bought 4 bags of it when it went on sale to try it out and I am incredibly disappointed. We bought it because our 13 year old cat started pooping outside her litter box in the basement even though we clean all of the boxes morning and night (2 cats, 6 boxes throughout the house). We thought it might help, which it did but this stuff is so gross. The cat pee soaks right down to the bottom of the litter box and clumps there, not on the surface so you are left with scooping out a sticky mess. We keep it at about a 4" depth because of this and even that is not enough, it always seeps down. It also molds! Like I said, we clean it twice a day and if we miss a cleaning This stuff is absolutely horrible. I bought 4 bags of it when it went on sale to try it out and I am incredibly disappointed.

Like I said, we clean it twice a day and if we miss a cleaning or worse, a whole day of cleaning, there's a gross spiderwebby moldy film over the top of any pee spots. This stuff also reeks! Never again will we buy this litter! … more

Best litter, my cats love it and so do I. I have used it for over 12 years, would not use any other litter.

Our cat has had litter box issues for months now. We tried several different litters and then went back to her old litter brand. She used the litter box for urine but not for “poop”. I bought Dr Elsey’s litter and from day one she began using her litter box again. I am astonished and so relieved. I heartily recommend this litter and the other tips in the pamphlet that comes with the litter.

A volunteer from the shelter where I adopted a cat last year that is now spraying, suggested this litter. I have not noticed my cats using this litter box more. The litter sticks horribly to my stainless steel litter pay and it is a lot of work to scrape it off. I will keep using it as I want to try to stop the spraying and my senior cat has bladder issues.

Mimi had urinating issues upon adoption and this is the litter that helped solve it. I stick with it as it works for us. I fully exchange each box on a monthly basis

This is a great litter! Clumps well and easy to clean. It's quite pricey though, so I'd recommend switching to the regular Dr. Elsey's clay litter once your cat learns to use the litter box. Overall great!

My cats immediately went into their box. The smell attracted them easily. The clumpiness of the litter was awful. You can't use it more than 2 days without needing to throw it out. And it sticks to the litter box. The price might keep us from buying it.

This is a quality litter. Kitties all seem to favor it.

My Violet was having respiratory issues--again, so I wanted unscented litter for her and my other two. My son recommended Dr. Elsey's. It's compact! The 40 lb bag was a little difficult for me to maneuver, but is worth getting a little cart because of how it has helped Violet. I started out by mixing Dr. Elsey's with the litter they had, and they melded well. My girls were a little surprised, but took to it well. I worried about dust. None comes out of their Booda Dome litter box. And they don't track it, either. At first their coats felt a little gritty, but not now. Maybe they rolled in it at first to get acquainted. (?) Violet's cough has been gearing down over the past few days. I think this My Violet was having respiratory issues--again, so I wanted unscented litter for her and my other two.

Our cat loves this litter and any time we try to use something different she let's us know by relieving herself in many different places around the house.
