Tidy Cats Free & Clean Lightweight Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter

I must say I really do not care for the added plastic bag and handles. It was easy to pour the cat litter out before when it was just paper box. With the plastic bag, it is hard to drag it out of the box when all the litter sink to the bottom. The handles are good to have but for 17 lbs it is not really necessary. They can be added to the box even without the plastic bag. Also to save the environment, we should have as little plastic as possible so why add one at this time.

This lightweight litter is really messed up! 9 out of 10 times my cat Abby comes out of the litter box with tons of gooey litter and pee stuck to her paws and butt, and I had to chase her down multiple times a day to wipe her clean. It was a nightmare. After I switched to the non-lightweight version of this litter, the problem immediately goes away. I did a comparison test and quickly figured out why. 1) When I pour water, it is absorbed very SLOWLY in the light-weight version. Some liquid actually remains on the surface for quite a while, and can easily flow towards Abby's back paw. Now her paw is soaked with pee that flowed over, and she steps around in the litter box. Just imagine the picture This lightweight litter is really messed up! 9 out of 10 times my cat Abby comes out of the litter box with tons of gooey litter and pee stuck to her paws and butt, and I had to chase her down multiple times a day to wipe her clean.

So her butt is all dirty and messed up too. 3) In comparison, when I pour water over the non-lightweight version, it gets absorbed quickly and sinks down straight away. 4) The lightweight version's clump is also MUCH MORE GOOEY than normal version's clump. All in all, STEER CLEAR of this litter if you don't want muddy pee and dirty paws all around your house! … more

I like the 100% recyclable packaging, but the box is vert difficult to open and also has no handle. When pouring, there is a huge cloud of dust. Absolutely NOT dust free as advertised. I assume because of the light weight, this litter gets tracked EVERYWHERE. This week ive found it 3 rooms away from the litter box on my kitchen table GROSS. My litter box is in a corner and there is litter stuck all oved the wall. It is absolutely disgusting. I have never had this problem before. The urine clumps are very soft, and occasionally my cat will step in them and his foot is covered with a urine litter paste. I can't believe this litter has so many stars! It does mask smells well but I wilk be switching I like the 100% recyclable packaging, but the box is vert difficult to open and also has no handle. When pouring, there is a huge cloud of dust.

The previous cardboard container with the easy open mechanism wasn't perfect but it was waaaay better than the "Easy-Open Bag Inside". Did you guys even try to use it after making this? The bag inside is hard to open, VERY hard to open in a way that doesn't cause litter to spill everywhere and when you try to pour it, the entire bag falls out of the box. And don't get me started on the "99.9% Dust Free" myth. Every time I use it, I have to use a change of clothes, hat and a respirator mask to try and protect myself from the cloud of dust this stuff creates. I don't know what to use that would be better but I'm sick of it!

My criteria for cat litter is that it must be lightweight, unscented, dust free, and track free, and that's not easy to find. Some of the lightweight litters I've tried are dusty and track all over the house. This lightweight litter is not only dust free, but almost trackless too. Add to that the fact that it is unscented so the cats aren't offended by a strong perfume, and this litter rates at the very top of my list. Thank You!

I use this litter as it seems to be the lesser of all evils when opting for “lightweight” cat litter. However, 99% dust free is a misrepresentation of this litter. Not only is the area close to the litter box covered with dust, the dust permeates the whole room from top to bottom. I contacted Tidy Cat a couple of year ago and they told me they were changing the formula to decrease the dust. Hence the 99% dust free label. I’m thinking the only solution is to avoid using “lightweight” litter.

Bought this litter because the kind I like seems to have disappeared on the market. This litter says Dust Free! Well it may be dust free when pouring into the box but the dust attaches to the cat and the cat tracks it EVERYWHERE!!! It's a terrible mess!!! It clumps well and controls odors. But the dust factor is a deal breaker!

I'm giving one star because of the packaging of the product, not the product itself. I did not receive a 2-pack of the plastic jugs, I received one bulk package in a cardboard box. Thank goodness the litter was light enough to lift, because the box had no handles or anything for me to lug it. The opening was inconvenient--I had to tear two strips along the top of the box to form a lid, with the litter inside (no plastic liner or anything), similar to opening a box of soap powder/laundry detergent. Which meant there was no way to close the box tightly, like the jug or the bucket. Once open, it's very difficult to transport without spilling the litter everywhere.

The box says it's "easy pour", but this makes no sense, as there is nothing to grab to tip it, and the opening is so big that all the litter might come out at once. Again, the kitty litter itself is good, it's just the packaging I didn't like. … more

I have multiple cats and have to use enclosures for the litter boxes because my cats were kicking "mud" onto the walls outside the box. Also with 4 litter boxes there was a lot of dust when scooping and refilling. This is the first clumping litter that really doesn't have noticeable dust and after 3 weeks there still isn't any mud clinging to the sides of the enclosure. My cats haven't noticed a difference and I'm much happier.

I did not get the jugs. I got 2 cardboard boxes. They were packed together in a single box with the cat food as well. Very heavy. Even the delivery guy didn’t want to deal with it and left it at the bottom of the stairs. Cust service was no help. I Canceled my auto delivery order. Cardboard boxes are too awkward to deal with. Liter was ok, not great but ok.
