Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have a story about this product. The litter I've been using forever is Arm and Hammer Naturals. Out of all the litters I've used, it's the best smelling, but hardly clumps. I don't use clay litters because the dust particulates are bad for animals and for humans. And they smell. I was in Petco buying a new scratching post, when the sales person asked me about litter. They had a promotion going on for the Blue Naturally Fresh litter, and she had a good pitch. I ended up getting an 8lb bag for $5 bucks (retail $10). On the way home I realized I had been the victim of a good sales pitch. That 8 lb bag will only fill my little litter box. The booda box will require at least two bags of this stuff. So that's 3 bags of litter at $10 a bag per week. Currently I buy a 28lb bag of Arm and Hammer litter for $17 per week. This new litter I had been talked into wasn't cost effective! I was a bit miffed. So like other reviewers, I poured this into the box and it does literally look like coffee grounds. My initial thought was that looks kinda gross, but really...are we looking for aesthetically pleasing dirt for our cats to go to the bathroom in? No. I've got a pretty wicked sniffer, and it wasn't overly "damp-walnutty" smelling like other reviewers said. It also didn't smell perfumy like I was used to with Arm and Hammer, which was disappointing, but I had purchased this bag of litter, and I was going to use it. Now for the good part. This litter is the greatest litter I have ever used. Period. I will tell you why. I've recently promoted and I'm working wicked hours. I come home and I just don't have the time or energy to scoop the litter. Literally, a whole week went by and I totally forgot to scoop the litters. I have two cats that produce more waste than any animal I've ever seen, but....There was absolutely NO smell in my house. NONE. When it dawned on me that I hadn't scooped the litters in a week, I checked, and yes, they were full....but no smell at all. And the clumping power? No other litter I've tried has come close to this litter with performance. I'M SOLD! I'm switching to this litter. To sum up: Is the litter pretty? No Does it smell? When you first pour it out, it smells like what it is, walnuts. But then there is literally nothing. Does it clump? Holy mother of God, this is the best clumping litter Does it get everywhere? Yes, but so does every other litter I've tried (scoop away, arm&hammer, feline pine, etc) Does it control cat waste odor? I'm going on over 2 weeks since I did a full change of the litter, and it still smells like nothing. You just scoop and scoop and scoop, and it never smells. Amazing. I'm switching to this brand. And thanking the lady at Petco that sold it to me.
