When my wife brought in our cat (out of the blue) I went on a long research journey trying to find the best litter for her. It took me six months and lots of experimenting with different litter types before I settled in on this litter. I dont really know why more people are not using this since its far better than other litter types. Here I will explain why:
1- No dust. I tried many clumping litters that claimed they had no dust, they all had dust.
2- No tracking. This litter tracks less than any other litter. Maybe one or two pellets every time my cat uses it which is far better than tons of dust and little particles from clumping litters.
3- No scent. This absorbs urine smell really well. Poop smell is something else though. But if you clean the litter every day and you pair this with the litter genie (found on amazon) or another method of storing the poop away in the proper way there wont be any smell.
4- This litter forces you to clean and check the litter box everyday which is a good habit. It takes very little time but you can keep an eye on your cat's bathroom habits. I think this is a plus. Also I can see her poop and can make sure she is healthy and make sure she is getting enough water etc.
5- It's really light! compare to the clumping litter this is super light.
6- Good for the environment!
The problem with this litter however is that you will have to learn how to deal with it. It's not as straightforward as the traditional litter and requires a bit more skill and attention. Here are some tips:
1- Depending on how deep your cat likes to dig for covering her poop, you need the minimum amount of litter. So maybe 1-3 inches deep. For a single cat I throw all the litter our every once in two weeks and clean our the litter box and start again with fresh pellets (this is in addition to the daily poop scooping of course).
2- There are disposable litter boxes that are super cheap (also found on amazon) that would go really well with this type of litter. The problem with me was that my cat likes a very large litter box and none of those disposable litter boxes were large enough.
3- To know whether or not there is poop in the litter, I flatten the surface of the litter with the back of my scoop every time after I clean it. This way if she uses it she will dig and I know that the litter box has been used and then i check to see if its poop. If its poop i take the poop and flatter again, and if its just pee you just flatten it.
4- cleaning the poop is the trickiest part. The pellets are dark and so is the poop. Also you dont want to smear the poop all over the pellets when you are digging for them. I use both a scoop and a thick rubber glove to find the poop. Also if you let it stay there for an hour or so it will be easier to take it out without making a mess. I think clearing out the poop without having to throw away good pellets is a skill that you will improve at as time goes by.
5- I dont like to use a covered litter box for this type of litter. I like to see where she poops and I need to clear it out daily so its much easier to use a large open litter pan type.
6- As I mentioned, you need to throw the entire litter content away and start new after a week or two depending on how many cats you have. The bottom pellets absorb the urine and disintegrate and over time the litter box loses its ability to retain urine. So you need to make sure you clear out the entire content as often as you need to (unlike clumping litter that some people just scoop and rarely clean out completely, here you have to do that).
This might seem challenging but believe me, its worth it! better for the environment (made from recycled newspaper) , better for your cat (this is the litter vets recommend you use after surgery), better for YOU (less cleaning litter from the floor, and no dust).
So please, give it a try! and if your cat doesnt like it make sure she has no other options, and over time they will get used to it.
Also the sooner you get them started on this type of litter the easier the transition (add some of their old litter into this to get them interested).

but in the end our one female kitty is most happy living in her own cat "suite" in our bedroom/private ...
I've been using this brand of litter for the last 4 years- here's how I got to using this brand of cat litter.Backstory: Our family has 3 cats, which is for us one cat to many. Unfortunately the 2 males cats team up and bully the one female cat and we've tried many of the ideas from "My Cat From Hell" TV show, but in the end our one female kitty is most happy living in her own cat "suite" in our bedroom/private bath.Since her litter box is now in our bathroom I needed a cat litter that would not stick to the floor of a wet bathroom when she accidentally sends litter flying from the box. Let me tell you, the clumping litter is a nightmare to scrape off the floor of a wet bathroom floor. I looked into those expensive litter box systems that attach to your toilet, but after reading some reviews about the smell of baked cat poop permeating through the home.. yeah I knew that was out of the question.So after a lot of trial and error we ended up trying yesterdays news. We have not changed litter since we started this litter. It's perfect for our situation and our kitty.1. It does not clump- this is a must-have for any litter box in a bathroom2. It traps odors! Yay! No baked cat poop smell3. It's clean and made of recycled newspaperI used to buy this litter at our local grocery store, but I've found its cheaper and more convenient to buy through amazon. Hope this was helpful to anyone looking to try this litter for your kitty.
