Golden Cat 702003 Tidy Cats Odor Control Clay Litter, 40-Pound

All the first POOR reviews are for the lightweight litter, which isn't what this is. So confusing. I kept going back to check the product. This is NOT the lightweight. This is the regular Tidy Cats 24/7 which I love; actually I guess my cats love it. There is no odor either from the litter box use for 2 cats (and 2 litter boxes with lids) OR from the product itself. There is NO mess, no muss, no fuss. I clean the boxes 2 or 3 times per day since I'm home/retired and the product is fabulous for clumping and having no odor.Yes - the container is heavy which is difficult. I buy the 20 or more pound containers to save money but I plan ahead and either get my husband to go with me OR ask someone in the store to please take it off the shelf and put it in my cart and of course they are always willing to take the groceries out to your car. I hate the heaviness of it but the lightweight is too pricey and as everyone stated at the beginning of the reviews, not as effective as this regular product.I also appreciate the fact that Tidy Cats has NO ARTIFICIAL SCENT. I read in Cat Fancy magazine that cats don't like artificial smells in their food or litter boxes - foo foo cats or alley cats like mine. They like "real" smells and so I like Tidy Cats. I wish they would put on the label - NO SCENT ADDED.

I'm amazed at the quality of this litter. As advertised, it's dust-free. I have 2 grown cats (18 lbs+), and I laid down 2 boxes of this litter - just a 2" layer, and it lasted a week without smelling, and a little more with some minimal deodorizer (Arm and Hammer - very good). Collecting their offerings was easy. It absorbed (or for chemistry nerds - ADsorbed) the urine very well, and all I had to do was to stir and mix up the whole litter 2x a day to help dry it up, and it was good as new every time. This is probably the very best litter, maybe even compared to others more expensive.

We've been using this brand of litter for years and were delighted to find it available in pantry for such a good price. This variety is very functional - I think of it as the the most basic and functional sort that we will tolerate. Tidy Cats makes other varieties that either smell better or clump harder but this variety is a great every day litter that works well for our little troop of kittren.

I've tried the more environmentally correct litters like Yesterday's News, but I'm not the one using the litter. My cat is. She's always been very good about using her litter box, but I noticed that she likes this clay litter best. She takes her time exploring the box and covering her business up. Whenever I switched litters on her she'd jump in, do her business, then very quickly jump out, scratch and cover while standing outside the box. She doesn't do that with this brand.The Tidy Cats tracks more than the Yesterday's News does, and it is a little dustier. Since I scoop the boxes out daily and clean them out once a week clean-up is no problem. Neither is odor control, since I always sprinkle baking soda in with the fresh litter. Since I don't want my girl to develop any issues with the litter box I'm going to continue to give her what she wants. I also appreciate having this stuff delivered directly to my door, since the supermarket around the corner closed up and I'd otherwise have to go further to pick up this litter. The price is right. I'm satisfied. And for Xmas I owe that UPS guy a gift card. He's earned it.

This is probably the best litter I've found this far. It clumps well, doesn't have any perfume to be allergic to and it has low dust when you pour it in. It also doesn't seem to track outside the box as much as the other one, yet it weighs a little less so it doesn't break my back to lift the pan when I need to.

Like any clumping litter, 24/7 works okay, and I prefer it to Instant Action, although both would do in a pinch. If the cat pees in the middle of the box, then it clumps well and is easy to clean. But if he pees at the back, against the wall, it sits there, stays wet, and does not clump. When you try to clean it, sticky, gooey, contaminated litter mixes with the good stuff and cuts down on the usable lifetime of the litter. Really "pisses" me off, but I can't change my cat's habits. I'm just glad that Georgie uses it and doesn't mark everywhere.Amazon is not offering Tidy Cats Clumping 4 In 1 Cat Litter at the time of this writing, and you should consider that a good thing. Purina (now owned by Nestle, like just about everything else) went a little too far with that product. Some nut job in their R&D dept. thought that it would be a good idea to put foul-smelling chemicals in their litter and end the odor problem once and for all. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Both of my cats hated it. I hated it. It stunk up the whole house, and now, after a traumatic experience with that litter, Daniel will no longer use the litter box. Apparently, he got some of it in his eye, and it burned him. His eye was irritated and almost closed shut for a week. I have tried to coax him back to the litter box (now that it has been cleaned and disinfected and filled with 24/7), but on two occasions he has jumped out of my arms and clawed me. I'm holding Nestle Purina liable for this and may in fact file a law suit against them. They had no business putting that poison on the market, and I'm sure I'm not alone. I still need to talk to an attorney about this and I will update my review accordingly. I just wish that I could place this review on the 4 In 1 page, but it no longer exists. Can you blame Amazon for taking it out of their inventory? That litter has ruined my happy home. Daniel is pooping in the tub, peeing on my throw rugs in the bathroom and kitchen, and I am at my wit's end. I may have to put him up for adoption and hope that a family takes him that lives in the country so that he may become an outside cat and no longer need a litter box. The only problem is that he and Georgie are hopelessly tied together. They are like brothers, and depend on each other. Georgie would be crushed if I have to give Dan away. I don't know what to do. Thanks, Nestle, for screwing up my life.
