Premium Choice Carefree Kitty Unscented All-Natural Clumping Cat Litter - 40lb Bag

I thought I already left a review on this, but maybe not. I'm senile like that. Anyhow, I have two senior cats--one male (a.k.a the Stinkinator) and the other female (a.k.a Smells Like Roses). I really like this litter as far as litter goes (can you be excited about litter?). I've tried most brand-name products and most often used Fresh Step, which was alright but way too dusty and expensive, and I also didn't care for the perfume; I just really hated their "extreme" version, which was nothing more than extremely useless and too clay-ish. Most other brands just didn't cut it.Although I tried this product several times and liked it, along with the regular unscented (blue bag/container), I recently wanted to give one other brand a shot that was similar, which was Precious Cat. I also did this because Amazon doesn't seem too keen to carry Premium Choice as they do the Precious Cat, as I've been noticing it less and less. So far, I can't wait to be done with the Precious Cat so I can move back to this brand ha. I felt that Premium Choice had better clumping and was less "muddy" when my senior male used the box, and I felt that it had much better odor control. Now, don't get me wrong. In order to block out Salem's foul stench, post-defecation or urination, you would need nothing short of radiation cleansing and an Israeli-style gas mask, as well as plenty of time until both cat and nuclear-type fallout cleared, but this product worked fairly well considering. In fact, I noticed far less gusto in his bragging verbal announcements after he went while using this product versus other times. Coincidence? Perhaps, but I'm more pleased that I didn't have to suffer half as much as before, especially considering the bathroom the box is in is open to my bedroom. And is that not disturbingly human male-like, for male cats to announce their deeds? I'll never understand this concept.I have not tried their scented version, but out of the baking soda version (green) and the one without (blue), I definitely prefer the baking soda version--though the blue might work okay for females. However, since it's not perfectly capable of eliminating odors 100% as I would much rather prefer, I also find that it works well to use products like Odorzout powder and/or ZeroOdor spray. Surprisingly, these two products did not help me with the Precious Cat litter, which I thought was strange, and I had scrubbed the 2-month-old box entirely before using it in order to test properly.Again, my cats are passed their retirement years (not that they have ever done much with their existence otherwise, other than stare at me in that inferior-like way, sleep, and eat), so I'm sure this makes a difference, but they go a lot and I clean the box once or twice a day. There is a slight (very slight) odor after several days of use (with cleaning/adding more), but it's more a litter smell than a urine one. The Odorzouts or Zero Odor help this, making it so I don't have to change the litter completely more than every two weeks, but I felt it worth mentioning anyway. The Precious Cat and other brands, however, flat-out smelled like urine within the first day, even after scrubbing their box clean and changing it often, so that was a big points deduction in comparison. Again, it could be my freak of a cat, and I'm sure everyone will experience different things based on their cat's needs. I just feel there's an upside to this product when it comes to odor, personally. The real test was my partner, who really does not like cats and loves to complain about the smell (and sometimes lack thereof). Even he mentioned how he couldn't smell anything, but not so with the other brand I've tried recently.The litter lasts quite a long time and works well in my Omegapaw box, and there is hardly any issue with dust. In fact, it was the least dusty one I've tried yet, which is great. It also seems to do pretty well with not sticking to the bottom of the box so much, which my male seems to enjoy aiming for--more for spite, I think. Since it's not muddy like other products, this helps even more so when it comes to that and it helps me to avoid having to bang on the bottom of the litter box like a congo drum in the early mornings or late at night. I also feel that, out of all the litters I've tried, this one tracks far less. Mind you, it is not 100% perfect in this, but I notice a dramatic difference out of the one I'm currently on, which has me vacuuming several times a day vs. once a day or every two days with the Premium Choice. I have also cut up an old yoga mat to use as a litter trap mat, since I'm way to cheap to buy a specific litter mat, and it seems to work great for that.All in all, I repent and have learned from my folly of using another product and plan to go back to this one soon. It is not perfect, but it so far seems to do the best and I can't afford to buy ones like EverClean. I don't care much for the bags and find them awkward, but that's from my laziness and something that can easily be resolved. I did save the containers from the 16-pound ones though, which does help (in case anyone was debating about that). The price is good though and I personally feel that it works pretty well. I can only hope Amazon will continue to carry the product, because it's not so easy to find. Go figure.

This litter clumps pretty well most of the time, obsorbs odors very well and somehow seems to last longer than other litters I have tried.My only complaint is that it does throw quite a good bit of dust when filling the litter box. I was a little spoiled I guess, since the last bag of litter I bought here at Amazon had absolutely NO dust at all.It clumps well most of the time. Sometimes when I am scooping the box, the clumps with urine break up and fall through the sifter, while other clumps are hard and scoop right out without crumbling.I am not quite sure how or why, but this bag has seemed to last me longer than I expected and longer than it really should have based on previous experience with my cats' litter box usage.I have 2 female cats who use the same litter box. The odor control with this litter is wonderful, especially with it being an unscented litter. There are days I walk past the litter box and say to myself "oops forgot to scoop it today" but yet it has no odors at all. It is one of those things where if you don't smell it, you kinda forget about it - so since this litter works so well at odor control, I have to make a point to remind myself to scoop it so that the kitties aren't literally walking into a mess in their box, even though the odor is not present.Price (16 bucks) is adequate for quantity and performance and I would recommend this litter as long as you don't mind the dust cloud.

I have tried soooo many litters and have never really been satisfied. I have a Persian with respiratory issues so I need a mostly dust free litter and I HATE litters with fragrance. 1 because he sneezes from the fragrances, 2 because there is nothing worse than poop mixed in with something that is SUPPOSED to smell clean and 3 I really dislike when the smell sticks to there paws.I purchased this on whim right before going away for 10 days. I have 2 litter boxes set up and the other litter box had WorIlds Best Litter in it. I had someone come in every day to feed and scoop the boxes. Their exact words were I cant stand the litter in the other box it smells so bad. Whatever that other one is is great!! You dont smell anything. I have to agree this litter works great!! I am about to order another bag. I have had it in the litter box since Dec 23rd and it is now Jan 8th. I havent had to add or change it. It scoops easy and clean and very minimal mess. I definitely cant say that about "Worlds Best." For a litter that cost so much should definitely be better!The price of this was great and it worked really great. I didnt give 5 stars because I like to give a few months with my cats before doing so.

I love this cat litter it works really good and it lasts a long time the 40 lb bag and I have eight cats so the price is wonderful

I've had cats all my life and this is the best cat litter I've ever purchaced. It is unsented, which is good. It ain't purdy, but it gets the job done when it comes to clumping. And, isn't that the main point here? My pet sitter forgot to clean the cat pan and when I got home it was a mess. I thought I would have to throw away the whole thing. But, I scooped and it all came out in clumps! Not a shred of "leavens". I used it for another couple days before replacing. That is important when it isn't the cheapest cat litter. It is, however, worth every penny.

Great product and quality. No tracking that is unbearable. I would indeed buy again :)

It has all the features I want...I am very pleased with it.

Excellent comme produit mais trop cher pour moi

The litter does not absorb as it should and the result is a sticky mess in the pan that certainly hasn't clumped. I've increased the depth to several inches but the effort to clean up and the added expense of changing the litter so often means I won't buy this again.

A pretty good cat litter. Like all clay litters, it’s dusty and it tracks, but the scent is fairly minimal and it absorbs well. The I l’y downside is how long it took to get here (2 weeks) which is why I won’t be buying it again. I wish it was available closer to me.
