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

After WFH for the last several months in the same room as my diabetic cat's litterbox, I needed a change. Our diabetic cat pees quite often. He's an outdoor cat, and although he will #2 outside, for some reason he insists on peeing in his box. This litter has been an absolute lifesaver for me. There is ZERO urine smell, even after several days. Even while fully cleaning it out and dumping, there is very little urine smell. I have used Tidy Cats for years - but being home, and seeing wet paw prints on my hardwood and litter smattered everywhere, either I completely ignored it before or he is more active with me here. No more of that, no tracking, no wetness on his feet. At any rate, although After WFH for the last several months in the same room as my diabetic cat's litterbox, I needed a change.

At any rate, although it doesn't "clump" (more like tiny clumps or nuggets I would say) that is immaterial because this stuff comes right out of the box, doesn't stick to the bottom of the box, honestly it's a miracle for me. I mixed it with some tidy cats to start but he took right to it. It's also alot quieter while he's using. Love it, so thrilled! … more

One of my cats needed to have a toe amputated. My vet said to use "paper" litter. I decided to try this as it said it is clumping. My cats all use it fine but it is too hard to scoop out the clumps. We decided just to change the whole litter every other day which is expensive. This litter isn't cheap! I am glad we only have to use this litter for 2 weeks. Once he gets the sutures out we can go back to our normal litter.

Love the recycled paper idea. Love that it’s not allergenic like pine, grass, or corn. I tried both the original non-clumping and softer texture non-clumping before trying this one. The old cat who hated the roller pellets was fine with this one, finally! Doesn’t really have any odor control, though. For how often we’re dumping the box, the price is unpleasant at about $1 per pound. I’m going to take a chance on a different brand/style due to the cost for four cats, but if it gets an allergic reaction, we’ll be back.

So ive tried a lot of litters but i love this one. It clumps really well and it doesn't track a lot. Im actually shocked. My cats like it and i also love the non clumping verison too. The packing is recyclable and the litter is more eco friendly. I highly recommend.

I purchased this litter per my vet since my kitten is having some issues and we needed to change her litter for a little bit. I have to say that I have used this brand in the original form before and it was on the messy side. I will say, that this version, the clumping form, is much better. I am very glad I decided to try the clumping version!! There is definitely an art to scooping this litter correctly. You cannot be in a rush when scooping this litter. I found that if I dig from the bottom and flip it over in the litter pan (like a pancake), the clumping part will be right there on the top so it will be easier to just scoop it out. Otherwise, if you scoop and sort at the same time, like I purchased this litter per my vet since my kitten is having some issues and we needed to change her litter for a little bit.

Otherwise, if you scoop and sort at the same time, like the other reviewers said, you waste a lot of both the clumped and non clumped litter when putting it in your trash bag. My kitten is eight months old and definitely tracks this litter - but not a great deal, however, she tracks it past the litter box (unlike she tracked regular cat litter). You will see black little pellets throughout the area in front, around and past the litter box. The litter is a different texture, and shows up as black when on the carpet. I just use my electric sweeper to clean it up off the carpet. My kitty is not a fan of this litter, but still uses the litter box every time she has to go potty (thank goodness)!! She was confused at first, and still sometimes debates if she wants to go in the box (I definitely have the enclosed top OFF while we use this litter). Usually if I have it cleaned out she doesn't hesitate as much. As far as odor goes, I think it covers it up fine when she pees, but when she poops, that is another story!! Unlike other reviewers, my cat litter came in tact... no rips or tears to the bag. I was nervous opening the chewy box expecting it to have litter throughout the box, but nope, it was fine. It was packaged with a small container for some supplement powder I ordered along with the famous brown paper packing, but definitely was able to move around the box during shipping. I am giving this 4 stars because even though I am basically happy with it, my kitty is not PLUS it does not cover the "poop" smell as well as it could. … more

This litter absolutely controls the litter box odors way more than I expected BUT.....I have two diabetic cats and was trying to prevent them from getting the 'cement shoes' seen with hard-clumping litter. That worked but the amount of litter tracked outside the box and beyond was too much. I also had to change the box more frequently as well. I liked the litter but it doesn't work for our multi-cat household***

The only good thing about this cat litter is that is pretty much dust free. I was disappointed in the clumping. The box continues to have a urine smell, because I cannot get all the "clumps" out, which break apart. The only way I could have a "fresh box" was if I dumped all the litter and started all over again. This is near impossible to do every day, so I dump it weekly. It is also unscented, but since I have an allergic cat, I decided it was best to prevent any unforeseen issues. I give it 2 starts, because as I said, it is pretty much dust free, which is what I was looking for.

I was hoping it was going to be great. BUT it did not clump well and I scooped so much extra litter. With multiple cats just had to use too much litter. Very messy to scoop.I like the fact that it is healthy for cat.

I received this product to try in exchange for my honest opinion. I was pretty pleasantly surprised by the Purina Yesterday's News cat litter. First of all, it's unscented which is awesome! I HATE scented cat litter as most smells so strong that it triggers headaches. My cat tends to be picky about everything, but she wasn't too bad with this litter. It did catch her off guard when she first went in her box, but after the first time, she had no problem. I love how well this absorbs odors. It works so much better than my regular litter. I also love that because of the different texture, it doesn't track. It seems to clump well too. The only downfall I have noticed is that because of the texture I received this product to try in exchange for my honest opinion.

I love that it's made from natural ingredients and recycled newspaper so it's so much better for the environment, and my health since it's 99.9% dust free! I definitely plan on continuing to use this litter and I'm so glad I was able to try it! … more

I received a free sample of Purina Yesterday’s News litter in exchange for my review. This product does a great job at neutralizing odors. My biggest issue with our regular product is odor control, and there was no odor with this product. I also loved that there was no dust when putting the litter in the box or cleaning it out. My biggest issue is that this product is much easier for my cat the bring out of the litter box. There is a lot more litter on the floor around her box with this product compared to our traditional brand. Because of the litter spread, I probably won’t purchase this product even though it is no dust and has great odor control.
