Purina Tidy Cats Natural Cat Litter, Naturally Strong Multi Cat Kitty Litter, Recyclable Box - (3) 13.33 lb. Bags

Picking a litter is tough. Not only does it need to fit the needs of your kitty first and foremost, but it also needs to work for any humans cohabiting in the same household as well. While both cats and humans can agree it should keep bad smells to a minimum, other features that matter most are species dependent. What’s chiefly important to a cat outside of odor absorption is texture, which really depends on the cat’s personal preferences. Tidy Cat Naturally Strong certainly met my kitty’s expectations right away, who went to business as soon as I poured the fresh sand into her box. Great! Outside of those needs, my requirements were clumping ability, odor absorption, longevity and low dust, with a nice bonus being would be an easy to store and pour container. Fortunately, Naturally Strong met my expectations as well!Having used it for a couple months now, I found it absorbed odors quite well. I personally hate scented litters as much as many cats do, since I find they do the opposite of their intended effect and make homes smell even more like kitty litter than not. Give it a sec and let your cat bury its business, and any lingering smelly odors outta dissipate fairy quickly, just like when you use a toilet yourself. I found it’s clumping ability to be exceptional, better than Dr. Esley’s, which I used for several months previously, whose clumps tended to crumble on the edges a lot which leaves a lot of waste behind overtime. Dr. Esley’s also had a tendency to get stuck to the bottom and sides of the litter box which made cleanup harder over time, too. I hated the crumbs it left behind and decided to give Naturally Strong a shot. I think the tighter, harder clumping action of Naturally Strong helped it last longer, while the activated charcoal certainly appeared to suck up stanky smells well, too. Because the granules of litter in Naturally Strong are spherical grains of various sizes and not rough, ground up clay, it was very low-dust.Lastly, and probably most controversial when it comes to kitties vs. humans in the litter debate, is tracking. Tracking, at least from my personal perspective, is hard to avoid. By design, litter needs to stick on to things, particularly urine and feces, but that also means it isn’t too discriminating when confronted with a paw, human foot, or cat turd... No litter I’ve ever bought completely avoids the tracking problem, so my solution is to use a large, good quality litter mat. There may be some litter cleanup once and a while but that just comes with the territory. For what it’s worth, tracking isn’t bad with Naturally Strong, and since it’s very low dust and the grains are very uniform, clean up with a broom or vacuum is really easy.As for cost, it’s a little more expensive than more economical options like Dr. Elsey’s, roughly $5-7 more expensive per ~40 lbs bag on average (Naturally Strong only comes in 20 and 35lbs bags, but I feel litter weight will vary depending on individual brand formulation.) But even with a small bump in cost, it’s well worth it. It’s a great litter and does the basic very well (odor absorption, longevity, and clumping ability.)Lastly, I noticed it was extremely similar to another Tidy Cats brand litter; Tidy Cats Free & Clean Unscented. If you noticed too, then you're right – they're extremely similar. After a lot of digging around online, I eventually found out the one and only difference is that Naturally Strong contains MORE activated charcoal than Free & Clean, hence this is why Naturally Strong has a 12 day freshness guarantee to Free & Clean's 10 day. It was annoying how difficult this was to find! Anecdotally, I did peer inside a jug of Free & Clean and felt it had less charcoal than Naturally Strong, so this seems to be accurate. It's not clear if this makes a substantial difference or not. Could be worth experimenting with both since Free & Clean is a bit cheaper than Naturally Strong.In any case, pretty satisfied with this and so is the cat!

This litter is AMAZING. I've tried sooo many litters. This one is the best one by far that I found for odor control. As in, you could skip changing the litter for a couple of months with two cats. Love the eco-friendly packaging, too. But now it has been either not available, or available but has increased to over $50. Signing up for Chewy, which has not raised prices, and crossing my fingers that they will be able to keep it in stock.

I love this for my cats, easy to clean up and also you can not smell in my house I have cats.Here lately it has been out of stock.

I had this on auto-ship at one time and it was only 28$, not it is 48$. Why did it go up? I can get it at Chewy for 28$. I do love this litter!!

We have 3 cats, one's 14 and the other 2 are 5 yrs old. The vary widely in weight and size.... Angel, my 14 yr. old has decreased from 14 lbs to ~9 lbs even though she eats and drinks like she's starving. ( She gets fed every 6 hrs.). Cammie, my little princess is a Tortie and is a sparing eater who barely weighs 11 lbs, but drinks for long periods of time at our Cat Mate water fountain. Then there's our monster cat, Felix (a perfect tuxedo who's patent leather black on top, cottony white onthe bottom with a Batman-like mask and ears dividing his face. Felix hits the scales at 23 lbs but isn't fat...he has 7" long front legs and the rest of him is sized to match. He eats like each meal's the first he's ever seen, taking huge mouthfuls of dry food and gobbling much of it whole ( or so it seems) .With this motley crew of cats you can imagine how much litter they go through. We clean their (oversized) litter box first thing in the morning, again at 1-2 o'clock and then around 7 pm. We've tried other litters but they just didn't do the job. Some stopped hard clumping after a week despite new litter being added, some didn't do a good job of controlling odor. Worse, whenever we tried switching litters one or more of the cats would rebel and do their business elsewhere in the house ( like the guest shower).With Tidy Cats we use LESS litter and get better results. We really appreciate the new packaging that splits the 40 lbs into 3 paper bags, eliminating those big heavy plastic tubs, so it's easier on us plus it's more earth-friendly.

Can’t find anything better, this is the only one at seems to be hard to find. I use less of it overall, keeps the ammonia odors away!

I've got 4 cats,small apartment,years of trying glade and differant brands,this with activated charcoal nullifies more than the rest.happy,but hard to find in stores somewhat.Thats my 2 cents.

I love this litter. It clumps and it’s not over scented. Buy this.

I bought this one because it was supposed to not have any scent and becauer I though 30 lbs of litter would be a good deal at the price it was however I can't honestly say I'm impressed with the size.I can say that it's not scented, so at least there is that. And it's not as heavy as most clay clumping natural litters out there, however it is heavier than their lightweight line of litters.Back to the size of it, I have 2 litters and I can say 1 bag may fill the smaller of the two litters but the bigger open one that I have needs 2 of the 3 bags to keep the litter at a decent level. It just doesnt work for me to spend 60$ to fill two litter boxes. I dont know how long it will last as I just filled them but it really wont be worth it of it's only for a week

I like this kitty litter... it absorbs, it controls odors, no dust, not scented (I'm allergic), cat likes it. does track a little and does get kicked out of box but overall. better than others I"ve used, so ordered 2 more boxes of 3. I don't like the lightweight versions of kitty litter as they are just that, lightweight and the cat kicks the stuff out of the box and across the room LOL.. so makes more mess.

I love the product for my cats

single cat use, works well, leaves no scentl Sorry the price has increased so much. Will be purchasing elsewhere.

The product is fine.
