My clutter (3 cats, two are litter mates, twins in fact) all have unusual, health conditions. Two have chronic rhinitis, and the twins are prone to forming bladder stones which have had to be surgically removed. All are fed prescription diets and I have tried numerous litter options. This (and the "clumping" version) may just be my "salvation". Pros: 1.) Seems to be acceptable to all cats, provided "softer" pellet and "clumping" versions are offered. 2.) Hopefully eliminates the formation of stones, claims to have "only" guar gum and one other "natural" ingredient along with the paper 3.) Appears to minimize nasal/optical discharge 4.) Minimal tracking and so far no dust 5.) Less expensive My clutter (3 cats, two are litter mates, twins in fact) all have unusual, health conditions.

Dark grey in color so virtually impossible to easily spot where cats have used it for efficient scooping. 2.) The "clumping" version really doesn't clump, but the texture is acceptable to cats who refuse pellet litter, and can simply be replaced as would be any other non-clumping litter. 3.) "Odor control" is minimal but that is easily managed with daily and/or twice daily scooping which is better for the cats anyway. (I must use only non-scented litter, so I can't say whether the scented option would be different in this category) … more

Light weight and cat likes it, what more is there to say?

My elderly cat developed pica and started madly eating his litter which was a clay version. My vet suggested I try paper litter. So I decided to try the Yesterday’s News non-clumping unscented softer litter version. I sprinkled a little of his old litter into this new litter. I also kept his old litter box next to the new litter box. At first, it was no go. So I covered his old box and left it there. And bingo he went into the new litter. Clean up is a breeze. Wherever he pees you will see the paper pellets swell up. I don’t clean up right away because I want to make sure it absorbs all the pee. Once you see swollen pellets, you can clean. I take a closed shovel and pick it up. Then I wipe My elderly cat developed pica and started madly eating his litter which was a clay version. My vet suggested I try paper litter.

I take a closed shovel and pick it up. Then I wipe the bottom with a wet paper towel. There is absolutely no tracking of litter throughout the house. You might see one or two pellets when the cat steps out but that’s it. There is no odor. Even the overnight pee has no odor. The pica problem was solved medically, but I’m not going back to the old litter. Remember, you find the pee spot by looking for swollen pellets. … more

I’ve been using this litter for my rabbit for about two years and love it. Keeps smells at bay, easy to clean up and my rabbit seems comfortable while using his litter box. I would recommend to anyone who is using a litter box with their rabbit.

I will never go back to dusty heavy clay litter. This litter is the best one I’ve ever used. I like that it lowers odors and you don’t smell pee. It’s very easy to scoop. I clean my cats box daily, it’s so much easier to manage with this litter.

It was perfect for me, because my diabetic cat started to sit in the clumping litter and got all the clumps on his fur.

I had two kittens that were dropped off, decided to keep them. They had surgery ( front claws removed) so they could not use regular litter, Chewy was the only place I could find it. When I called a very helpful, kind young lady was most definitely informed about what I needed. Had Yesterday’s News the next day. Thanks

Great idea in theory terrible in practice. My kitty wouldn't step on the rock hard nuggets of paper. Wish I could return it. Sticking with another eco friendly option

Our cats would not use it as they could not cover their business . We followed directions to introduce new litter to no avail.

I use this litter for my rabbits litter boxes. Thought the "softer texture" isn't exactly "soft", the individual pellets are definitely smaller and smoother than other paper litter pellets, which is easier on the little feet of small breed rabbits. I find also find that the sturdy reinforced paper bags that Yesterday's News litter comes is less prone to tearing in transit than the other brand of paper litter that comes in green color plastic bags.
