Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling used cat litter, as cat feces may contain Toxoplasma gondii—a parasite that can cause toxoplasmosis. Pregnant or nursing women, as well as children and anyone with a weakened immune system, should avoid handling used cat litter. Always handle litter in a ventilated area to avoid inhalation. Keep contents and packaging out of reach of children and pets. Seek medical help in case of accidental ingestion.

product is ok; not sure "max", definitely don't like package
By inedible on Dec 4, 2020
My usual light weight jug size was not in stock so I decided to gamble on this large size online exclusive. The product is fine, but I'm not sure I saw any benefits versus my usual lightweight instant action (so that's down to 4 stars). However, I loathe this new packaging (hence down to 3 stars). I have nerve damage in my dominant hand, and this box was darn near impossible for me to open or get into. I respect the green packaging, but there HAS to be a better way to get into this product. Using scissors and exacto knives barely helped me, it was just too darn thick for me to open and the tiny useless string attached for the "quick open" was futile. I will never buy Tidy Cats in this package My usual light weight jug size was not in stock so I decided to gamble on this large size online exclusive.

Worth the extra money
By Julie on Jan 10, 2021
Started using a cheaper litter to save a few bucks, after 1 month I switched back to this one. The pee stays in a solid clump unlike the other stuff. Greatly reduces the smell also. It's so true, you get what you pay for! Well worth a few extra dollars

Tracks everywhere, clumps stick to box
By Dislike on Sep 27, 2020
Wouldn't recommend this litter. While it may be lightweight, whatever it is that makes it so lightweight also means that the litter tracks absolutely everywhere. I'm constantly sweeping up. I also find it stuck to my cats' feet, which has never happened with any other litter. Additionally, the clumps from this litter seem to stick to the side of the box much more than other litters do. Overall, not a fan and I won't purchase again. Fair warning to others who are tempted by the ease of carrying!

Outstanding
By Ntvsd on Dec 29, 2020
So surprised! Lightweight and perfect scooping! I've never ordered cat litter before because it us so heavy. This is a winner.

Would Buy Again
By KimD on Sep 15, 2020 Top 10 Contributor
I have had cats for 30+ years so I have used almost every litter on the market at some time. I have 4 cats and 1 ginormous litter box that holds about 35# of litter. People tell me that you would never know I even had 1 cat because you never smell the litter in my home. I do have a favorite litter but will buy any brand if that is not available or I find a good deal. I have used this litter many times and would buy again. I keep one auto ship for litter, one for all other things. I seldom have shipping damage that way.

All of Tidy Cat litter is the best, but this one is the best odor control. I have 2 cats and 4 litter boxes.

THE WORST CAT LITTER IN THE WORLD.
By mikefromossineke on Nov 18, 2020
If you like clouds of dust that covers everything in your house, then buy this. If you like to choke and cough while you are scooping litter, then buy this. The worst litter EVER.

I like the lightweight part
By Frankie on Jan 5, 2021
It is nice and light weight but doesn’t clump as well as your other light weight one just sayin.

I don’t like the cardboard.
By Sheena on Jan 7, 2021
I wish they would ship the large plastic acrylic container instead of the cardboard box.

Worst litter I’ve ever used
By Carolyn on Aug 18, 2020
I wanted to like it. Gets one star for being light weight. Does not clump well. Stays wet a long time (definitely not ‘instant action’), awful for Litter Robot. Tracks all over my house. Makes my 3 cats paws gross.
