5.0 out of 5 stars Best clumping cat litter ever! I have tried just about every litter on the market of the “clumping” variety. I moved a year and a half ago from a home where I had lived with two cats for years. While helping me pack this huge house which was filled with way too much “stuff,” my daughter and her husband both commented on all the dust on everything, especially everything close to the above-ground basement where the two litter boxes were placed. Both of them said the dust made them cough, and once I started paying attention, I realized that I was coughing myself every time I cleaned the litter boxes, and the coughing got worse from disturbing the dust going through and sorting and packing. Once I was in the house I rented, I tried two or three different clumping litters, but all of them had the same heavy perfume odor and there was dust from it everywhere, and about half an inch of dust in the bottom of the litter box at all times, so there is no wonder it was getting everywhere with the help of the cats digging and the stuff flying everywhere. Not only that, but the cats sometimes had “damp” paws, the dust would stick to the paws, and they were tracking cement-like trails across the laminate flooring – and the carpeting as well, though at least I could not SEE that! Then I bought a house and spent four months remodeling it. Once again, during the process of packing, we could all see the cat litter dust everywhere and smell that heavy perfume they use to mask odor. I decided that before I moved into my home with brand new everything, including floor tile, carpeting, blinds, etc., I was going to do some research and try to find a less irritating and dusty litter. My reasoning was that if it was making people cough, it could not be good for my cats to breathe it, either. and I had had more than enough of the dust and the “wet cement” paw marks! I decided to give Precious Cat a try, and this was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am just sorry it took me so long to take the time and do the research. I have been using Precious Cat since the end of February. There is no perfume odor whatsoever, there is absolutely NO dust at all, the litter clumps as hard as a rock and never comes to pieces while being scooped, and for some reason, I seem to be adding litter to the boxes less frequently. I have not quite figured out the reason for this yet! Yes – it is pricey, but it is worth the price to me to get rid of that constant cloying smell and the dust everywhere all the time. At least Amazon has it now PRIME, which is a huge benefit, because I looked at Petco on-line and thought I had found a real deal. Wow! Forty pounds for $15.99! Then I got to checkout and the shipping was over $16.00! So back I came to blessed Amazon.com, and this is where I will purchase my Precious Cat Litter from now on. I will pay the higher price for such a high-quality litter, especially since I am using less of it than any other litter I have used in the past. Thanks for carrying Precious Cat, Amazon – and thanks for having it available PRIME, too. By the way, anyone who says the “pee balls” stick to the bottom of the box, try this: I lift one end of the box and drop it about 2 inches back to the floor, then tilt it away from me and repeat the process. This completely loosens the clumps and they are easy to scoop. I do this because I am 74 and the less time I spend being down on my knees cleaning litter boxes, the better off I am! I DID replace my litter boxes, because the ones I had were made of some weird kind of plastic that the clumps DID stick to. Remembering a Maine Coon cat breeder with a LOT of cats and kittens who used plastic tote bins without the lids, I bought two Rubbermaid Roughneck bins with 8″ sides, tossed out the lids that came with them, and they are in use now as litter boxes and work great. The higher sides keep the litter from being thrown out with fastidious kitties getting carried away in the covering up process and flinging the litter about, and because one of my cats is a 17-pound Maine Coon female, she is VERY happy not to have to cram her big furry self, including her gorgeous long plume of a tail, into even the largest covered litter box I could find. We are ALL much happier with Precious Cat and new open-top litter boxes! And I must be honest – my first purchase of Precious Cat was NOT from Amazon, because at the time it was not PRIME and I got it cheaper elsewhere. Happily, this is not the case any longer.Variation: Size: 40 lb

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable Kitty Litter I’ve been using this kind of litter for about two years. I started out with a more expensive litter, but found it very dusty and messy. I did my research and found that many cat owners liked Dr. Elsey’s litter. I gave it a try, and I liked the results. There are probably better litters out there in terms of weight, texture, and environmental friendliness, but for price, odor control, and clumping this is about as good as it gets. Not all cats are alike and it might be a bad choice for you and/or your feline companions. For me and my cat, it’s easily five stars, with the occasional “off” bag being a little lower quality.Other pertinent info: I only have one neutered male short-haired cat, so those with unaltered males, females, long-haired, or multiple cats might have different experiences. I use an Arm and Hammer sifting litter box, plus a Durascoop aluminum litter scoop to remove waste from the sifter and anything the sifter misses. Probably overkill, but it just makes things easier. Also, although this litter is very good at stopping odor, I tend to add some Arm and Hammer litter deodorizer just in case. It also helps prevent any clumps sticking to the litter pan if my cat happens to dig too deep or I don’t notice the litter’s gotten a little too shallow.Here’s my rundown of how this litter performs, based on a couple years of regular use:This is a heavy litter, so if you have mobility issues or can’t lift much weight, you might prefer other options.For my litter box, a 40-lb bag is enough to fill the litter box about 1.75 times. Some boxes are deeper or overall bigger than mine, so plan on purchasing a bag every 1.5 litter box changes per litter box in your household.This stuff forms solid clumps and you don’t normally smell it except right after the cat’s been to the box. The bag will say to change the litter and scrub the box once a month, but it’s best to change the litter and scrub the box at least every 2-3 weeks. After around 3 weeks the area around the litter box may begin to noticeably smell.The litter forms solid, heavy clumps that usually don’t break and are easy to scoop. If your litter is too shallow in the box or if your cat tends to urinate right next to the sides, the clumps won’t form properly and you’ll end up with a nasty soggy mess that sticks firmly to your litter box. Because of how hard and heavy the clumps are, they tend to sink to the bottom over time, especially if your cat has a large volume of urine. If the clumps hit the bottom of your litter box before they fully form, then they stick there and the moisture where they touch the pan doesn’t get absorbed by the litter. Therefore, if the litter level is too low, top it up to avoid a difficult-to-clean mess. Also, I try to scoop twice a day and level off/smooth the litter with the scoop so it will last longer and I’ll be less likely to find clumps cemented to the box.Because of how this litter works, you’ll want to avoid buying it if your cat needs or prefers especially shallow litter, if your cat urinates in the corners or against the sides of the box, or if your cat tends to aggressively dig in the litter, making it more likely to urinate too close to the pan for the litter to form clumps.I have no answer to those reviewers who’ve found this litter cemented to their cats’ paws. The cat’s paws would have to be wet for this to occur, either from water in the surrounding area or their own urine. I’ve never seen this issue with my cat, even though he loves playing in the sinks and leaves wet pawprints everywhere.As for the dust level, compared to the other bigger-name litter I tried initially, it’s usually much less dusty. Sometimes I receive an extra-dusty bag, but it usually lives up to its low-dust promise.Consistency-wise, this litter tends to be medium-grain, but it’s literally a mixed bag. Usually, there’s sandy, fine-textured litter as well as coarser bits, some of which might look more like gravel. It does track a little, especially right after the cat leaves the box, but it usually isn’t too bad.I sometimes get a bag with litter that looks more tan than grey/off-white. That suggests it’s been in a damp environment for a while, and a bag that looks tan will not be as good at odor control or clumping as a grey/off-white bag. It will still work, but needs changing sooner. This is probably more of an issue with storage/shipping than with the litter itself, but it does bear mentioning.Variation: Size: 40 lb

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic performance. Heavy material. This is the best litter I have ever used, and I have tried most all top brands.It controls smell well, clumps beautifully and stays clean. My 2 lady cats love it, and prefer its use to the outdoors. They enjoy scratching it, and also seem to use it more frequently than with any prior litter.Drawbacks:The litter is heavy. The bag is 40 lbs and comes in a carboard box that needs to be cut almost completely open to release the bag. This is not an issue for me, but I imagine it could easily be for someone else.Because the weight was great enough to crack one of my 20 year old plastic litter boxes, i replaced both with stainless steel litter boxes. They bear the weight easily.The clumps that are formed are also heavier because the litter is heavier. That means the waste bag is substantially heavier. Again not a personal issue, but definitely an issue for those with problems carrying weight.Variation: Size: 40 lb

5.0 out of 5 stars It's just litter, but it's great! I’ve been through a lot of different brands of litter over the years. This is the first one I’ve found that clumps harder than tidy cats which in return makes the litter last longer. I have two litter boxes. One is a litter robot and the other is just a generic high sided open pan. It seems to work just fine in the litter robot.Pros:No scent in the litter, and while I thought this might make it have a odor after a while, it actually has less odor than the scented brands I’ve tried.Tracks less than the other brands.Absorbs and Clumps really hard to help keep the litter lasting longer.Doesn’t stick to the pan as much as other brands.Good Price.Cons:It is still a clay litter, so it does have some dust kick up. I would say it’s better than most clay based litters I’ve tried.It’s heavy.Overall:I would recommend this product to anyone that wants a great performing litter for a good price. Don’t waste your money on the cheap stuff that you will have to change a lot more often and end up spending more money. Just buy this one.I like it. My cats don’t complain about it. We are all happy over here.Variation: Size: 40 lb

4.0 out of 5 stars Great quality at a great price! I have been getting this cat litter for quite some time. I actually have it on automatic delivery for about a year now! You cannot beat this price for clumping litter. I am at heart a tidy cats clump gal. I used to have two cats and it began getting quite pricey. The clumping works great. The price is phenomenal. I noticed you do have to tend to the litter a bit more often otherwise there can be some moist clumps in the corner that are never fun. I found mixing it with whatever tidy cats when on sale seems to stop that problem especially if I am away for a few days. Again, you cannot beat the quality for the price! Not dusty and not smelly. Great product!Variation: Size: 40 lb

5.0 out of 5 stars Best litter for automatic cat boxes I’ve used this cat litter for 2 years now. It is by far the best litter available. I have 4 cats and 2 automatic litter boxes. This is dust free and heavy so it stays in the box and filters through the cycle better than anything we have tried. Very little tracking and the cats like it.Variation: Size: 40 lb
