Frisco Summer Clean Scented Non-Clumping Crystal Cat Litter, 8-lb bag

I have the automated Scoop Free electric kitty litter pan. The mechanism of this wonderful invention is really nice, because it has an electric "eye" that detects when your cat leaves the box after going potty. Then, there's a rake that automatically comes through the box from one end, shoving all the fecal matter into a trough on the other end. The rake then goes back to its starting position, smoothing out the litter as it goes. The problem with this invention is that it does NOTHING for urine. It has NO scent, so my basement stinks after just a couple of days, even if I scoop the poop out of the end trough regularly. At the end of the week, I dump all the crystal litter, and the urine I have the automated Scoop Free electric kitty litter pan.

I wish I could use clumping litter, which smells MUCH better for much longer, but unfortunately, the lumps created after the cats urinate are way too heavy and large, which would most likely cause the mechanical aspect of this litter box to breakdown. Not only that, but the trough that holds the poop is really narrow and is, in no way, large enough for urine clumps. I am at a loss here because I spent over $100 on the box, itself, only to find that NONE of the crystal litters are scented. How hard is it to add a scent to the litter? Even though they all SAY they are scented, they most surely are NOT. … more

I’ve had cats. I’ve always used sand or clay litter. Everything in my bedroom (where the litter boxes are) is covered in a thin sheet of white dust, no matter how many times I dust or wipe stuff down. So I tried this. I find that the crystals are a bit bigger than clay litter. The first time I tried to sift the “sand” in my sifting litter box, almost all of it got stuck. I ended up grabbing the scooper and just scooping out the poop which the cats conveniently left for me laying on top. I find this fairly faster than sifting, but the holes in my metal scoop are a bit too small also. So I try to skim off as little crystals and as much poop as I can. It works out pretty well once I got past I’ve had cats. I’ve always used sand or clay litter.

It works out pretty well once I got past the 1 minute learning curve. It still gets tracked out of the litter box, just like the clay (currently I’m using 2 litter boxes and have 1 of each type). It’s not a big deal as I would have to clean up the clay also. I haven’t noticed any smell from the crystals and my 3 cats have been using it for about 2 weeks now. An entire bag conveniently fits in the litter box, so no continual replacement of sand. I see a few yellow crystals now but not too many. When it gets worse, I’ll just bag it and empty a new pouch. Easy. And the crystals are so much lighter in weight! … more

I have had cats my whole life, and have used every kind of litter imaginable. Crystal litter has saved my sanity! No more gross smelly stuck to the bottom clumping cement clay litter that you have to scrape. This makes scooping so easy! But you have to tend to it to make sure it lasts longer and doesn't stink. After the cats poop, I scoop it out. Otherwise you will smell it. Twice a day I rake the litter to absorb the urine. If you let it sit, it will pool on the bottom. If you have a heavy pee-er you may need to use more litter or else it will pool. It tracks slightly less than regular clay litter. Even tending to it 2 or 3 times a day is 100% better than scraping clay litter. I wish I have had cats my whole life, and have used every kind of litter imaginable.

First, this litter tracks out of the litter box in larger amounts than any I’ve ever purchased. Which means my dogs have access to it while I’m at work. My 10 year old ate some (no idea how much). She vomited it up but has been lethargic in the days since. The worst part is how absolutely useless it is as litter. True to advertising, it doesn’t clump. Know what it does? It sinks to the bottom of the box and when I emptied it at the end of the week, I was left with a disgusting liquid to pour down my toilet. Who knows how that affects my plumbing. Please, don’t buy this product. The remainder of the bag is being thrown out.

I can't say enough good things about this litter! We had been using a leading competitor's crystal litter and decided to try this brand to save a little money. It smells fresh and doesn't track far. I add a little baking soda before I add it to the litter box to extend its use for my two cats!

I've used a few other brands and this one rates up there with those. I like the fact that you basically only scoop the poop out and the urine disintegrates in the crystals. I add a little each time I scoop to keep box fresh and after a month or so empty all and start totally fresh. Cats seem to have no issues with it.

I was a skeptic. I was wrong. This stuff is awesome. One 8 pound bag kept our house stink free for 2 weeks. We have 3 indoor cats (2 babies and 1 mama). We were completely odor free for 2 whole weeks. Also, one of the babies is a senstive little girl. We purchased one kind of clumping litter she would not use. She was the big test. She was the first one to use it and is always the one to tell us when it is time to scoop.

I've just started using crystal litter and this is the 2nd one. I'm sorry but this product is awful. doesn't soak in urine or dry out feces. It was gross after 2 days w/ scooping. Cats refuse yo use,they love the new litter mat. Please refund.

This was promising based on majority of reviews. Had a similar litter with a past cat and it was great. This however tracks and sticks to every known surface. It’s also much less dense than clumping litter and it gets flung with even little kitten paws that hardly dig. The smell is better in that you don’t have the litter plus feces/urine scent but not worth the sweeping after every use and checking the cat after every use.

Scoop the poop and stir it up...done. Takes care of odor (urine). I have 3 cats and one bag last bout 3 weeks. Crystal cat litter weighs much less than clay clumping litter. At first the cats weren’t sure but the transition was easy. I would certainly get a high sided pan cause they will kick it out but overall pleased.
