Highlighted Reviews

— Lee

"I am a fan of this litter. It hides scent even though it is unscented (so no awful chemical aroma). And it does not clump. I hate clumping litter. It is like concrete."

— Karen

"Hated the smell the moment the bag was opened. Odor control is non-existent. My house reeked day one. Litter became sticky smelly mud the moment urine hits it. Cats refused to dig into it therefore leaving their solid waste uncovered. Don't waste your money."

Bottom Line

Buyers should consider the mixed reviews and possibly try a smaller bag to see if it meets their expectations and needs.
