"Good litter for long haired cats"

"An excuse for `health monitor` litter"

Bottom Line

This litter primarily appeals to those looking for an affordable, less dusty option. However, it falls short in actual health monitoring and tracking features. This might encourage to reconsider waiting before a long-term investment. For those prioritizing actual health monitoring features, it is highly recommended to look for color-changing litters that indicate pH levels. Consider switching products if the dustiness and lack of functionality are major concerns, and let's not lose hope we might find another suitable litter in the market.
