Highlighted Reviews

β€” Betty

"My previous cats did not like Catalyst but when I got 3 new kittens I tried it again. They have accepted it and I’m so happy. Sure beats heavy clay litter and doesn’t track much at all. Verrrry pleased with Catalyst unscented!"

β€” Danuta

"Had high hopes for this litter. Natural, sustainable, not clay. There is a slight odor to the litter. However, my cat refuses to use the litter. Mixed it with his old litter but that did not help"

Bottom Line

This litter is effective for odor control and easy for cats to use but may require careful handling and has minor tracking issues.
