Finally!
I love this litter! It is exactly what I was looking for: lightweight, no added fragrance, and an unbelievable ability to remove all waste cleanly. I can't imagine any need to change all the litter at one time. Let me explain further... I've been on a quest for a good, lightweight litter for years! We've always had cats, and for many years, I was willing to schlep the 42 pound bags of Costco litter because of the low cost. However, as my husband and I grew older, and after my diagnosis of MS, we both realized the weight of the used litter became unmanageable. In the past several years I've tried Arm and Hammer (too heavy and quite dusty), Tidycats (regular is heavy and the light is a disaster), World's Best (I've renamed it World's Worst), and Fresh and Light (not the Red Cap) that worked for us for years. 25% lighter was better than nothing, but the carbon greedy green jugs are not recyclable in our area, and the boxes were heavy. I recently tried Pretty Litter, and I can see a use for it to monitor a cat's health. However, one bag for one cat for one month just does not work! Think of your cat peeing in the same litter over and over and over for 30 days. I made three weeks before the smell just became impossible. I can't remember how I heard about Smart Cat, but I know I didn't find it at first on Amazon. I just checked and it doesn't appear until page 4 in the listings. I was willing to try anything, and as I said earlier, I am thrilled with the results. The 20lb. bag is HUGE, and I actually ran my hands through the litter after I put it in the box; the texture felt the same as Fresh and Light. Yes, it does track some, but I've found other litters that are much worse, and it's certainly something I am willing to live with for all the other added benefits. I love how the urine forms such a hard ball that it lifts out cleanly, leaving no residue whatsoever. Once you remove the urine and feces, there is nothing left in the box other than the litter, and I do mean nothing. After four days of use and a cleaning of the box, I actually got down and smelled the box (Yeah, I know, that is gross; I did it so you don't have to), and I smelled...NOTHING! I was amazed! I have two litter-robots, and I've feeling confident this litter will work great and won't leave "remnants" like Fresh and Light, remnants that mean a cleaning of the box every so often. That's my hope. :) Update March 15: Day 10 of use. Still no smell from the litter! I've also found it works well for my cat that has occasional "pooping" issues. One of our older rescues has periodic loose stools, and this litter works great to clump the poop for easy removal. I just couldn't be happier. Update March 24: Three weeks of use, and I'm still very impressed! Lifting out the urine and poo clumps is extremely easy, and literally every scrap is removed. Once again, I still get no smell from the litter once the waste is removed. The only downfall is it does track some, so if this is a biggy in your life, you won't want this litter. I keep a small stick vacuum nearby, and a quick pass whisks it away. I'm one happy camper! I'll be trying in the my Litter-robot's next.
