Yesterday's News Unscented Clumping Paper Cat Litter, 20-lb bag

I have 3 cats, all took to this very well, but as i slowly replaced the old litter with this new one, i noticed more and more litter stuck to my 2 longhair cats. Dry litter stuck all over their legs and belly, and then wet litter from them burying their pee, just sticks all into their paw hair. And then they jump on my bed with wet pee paws. One good thing is that this litter is not super dusty. It does have a wet newspaper smell though, and is very hard to sift. 3 stars for how easy my cats took to it and that its made with renewable resources.

I'd like to start with the positives, this is a very safe, soft, affordable, and eco-friendly alternative to clay litters that doesn't get moldy, grow fungus, or attract insects. My 1 yr old cat, who was use to clay litters, immediately fell in love with it after I simulated a digging motion with my hands to let him know it was litter since he wasn't sure what it was at first. It clumps well enough to get the job done, and completely absorbs urine and fecal odors after several minutes. Aside from the usual issues (dust / tracking - although both are far less than clay and wood based litters), the only major issue I have with this litter is the thickness of it.

This litter is surprisingly difficult to sift through even with scoopers that have the widest openings on the market; which can make separating the good litter from the used litter a bit frustrating and time consuming unless you don't mind wastefully tossing scoopfuls of good litter along with the clumps. If the manufacturer made this litter a bit finer (without making it dustier or track more), it'd be perfect; but until the day someone invents the perfect cat litter, this is probably the best you're gonna get for a cat that won't tolerate pellets. … more

However...the clumps disintegrate upon scooping (nearly). I had a hard time pushing litter around in the box and finding intact clumps. Other than that, it's fine. The cats even stopped using the other boxes immediately when they found a box with this stuff in it. So on the cat's side of things, it's utter bliss.... from the cleaning stand point... the clumps need to clump a whole lot better. If they just explode, then it means dumping the box a LOT... and at $20+ a bag...? not happenin.

We very gradually mixed in this litter with clay litter over weeks. When there was enough to notice it, our cat acted out by peeing in inappropriate places. When we returned to clay, she stopped. This litter is black, small, and granular. We thought mistakenly it would transition easier than pellets.

Product does not clump it somewhat clots? Loose chunks that fall apart easily. I like that it's soft on their feet, my cats don't mind using it and with normal cleaning it contains the odor. I have mixed feelings on this product and will probably order again as it doesn't track as much as the clay and is relatively dust free. I am annoyed that Purina would say it's clumping, and I don't feel like I'm cleaning the box well without emptying it all in 2 weeks.

The Yesterday's News Clumping Unscented litter is great. It clumps good. No smell. The clumping agent, guar gum, works well. It is a little slimy when washing out the box but with soap and water and a brush and very little scrubbing it is not a problem. Cats like the litter. Also, one of the bags I received was broke open and I mentioned to Chewy as I felt it was either a packaging or shipping issue and they replaced the bag. I did not expect them to replace the bag. Nice touch. Auto ship is great.

It's better than some I've tried but it could use improvement. It's difficult to scoop out feces b/c it's hard to find. I know, that sounds ridiculous but it's true. My main issue is the bag itself. It's an awkward bag to handle. Why can't this be packaged in a cardboard box as other litters are? The bag doesn't even have a handle on it. I don't like scooping out litter. I prefer to pour it straight from the container and, if this were packaged in a cardboard box, problem solved. Also, the clumping feature could be better. To keep the odor down, I sprinkle Arm and Hammer litter deodorizer but that's difficult to find on Chewy, thus causing a trip to the store to find it.

I do like this litter for primarily one reason: my cats don't track as much and the litter doesn't harden between their toes. … more

I bought a lot of this because my cat was diagnosed with feline asthma and I was looking for a dust free litter. What a mistake. It might be degradable in the environment but it is dusty and dirty. I used it once because I had it and it was a mess. Threw it out and will donate the other large bag I bought. Did exactly the opposite of what I intended.

I really wanted this to be "the" litter, but it doesn't clump well, it's dusty, my cats track it across the floor, and it's not absorbent, so the tracked litter is wet. I would not recommend this litter.

I had some loose clumps which fell apart when I tried removing them. I use Yesterday’s News and was hoping the clumping type would make it easier. But I still have to empty the litter box.
