Fresh Step Premium Scoopable Clumping Cat Litter

WHAT I DO NOT LIKE: -- Very Dusty!!! -- Litter clumps around house. -- Sticks to kitten's paws WHAT I DO LIKE: -- easy to scoop -- smell Unfortunately the dust is killing me! I am very very clean yet some pellets of clay end up on the floor and it takes more than my mop to clean it up. Yucky dusty film all over the room the litter is in and I end up having to wipe it down just about every single day. Yuck.

This stuff is horrible. I ran out of my usual litter (Costco) and got this to fill in. Eeechhh! STINKS! Smells like someone broke a bottle of cheap perfume in the house. I know how sensitive cat noses are, and I felt guilty even pouring a little in their box. They must have had to hold their breaths, because I couldn't breath around this stuff. Second: dust! Again, between the strong perfume and dust, this was a killer. I was gagging and sneezing trying to pour this. I have asthma, so it "litter-ally" was killing me. Third and most important: I ran across some blogs that warned about the dangers of clumping clay and silica litters. My youngest of my three cats is almost 10--they've been using clumping clay all their lives. I lost one two years ago to severe respiratory problems and I never connected it to the litter. I can't prove it anyway. However, my other cat developed a slight cough (which he never did before) so I took him in (after Cujo died at age 7, I wait for nothi... Read more

I have been using this litter for several years and I love it. It clumps great, and has outstanding odor control; my litter box is down stair and I have four cats. My house never smells of cat urine or feces, and people are surprised that I have four cats and how my house does not smell like I have cats. Note: If you have young kittens DON"T use any clumping litter because kittens just like human babies put everything in their mouth and when they come across any litter that got tracked onto the floor they will eat it and unless they receive immediate medical attention they will die. I fostered four kittens and their mother. Two of the kittens ate a very small amount of litter that the mother cat tracked onto the floor. Both kittens got extremely sick and had to spend spend three day at the animal hospital. After that incident I only used shredded newspaper until the kittens were old enough; about two and a half months old. I had no problem transitioning the cats to the clump... Read more

I tried this cat litter based on reviews I read online. I have 2 cats, 2 litter boxes. My cats were new to my home and had used a clay type litter at the animal shelter. They accepted the Fresh Step easily. I tried the multi-cat version. The scented litter had a very strong perfume smell. Knowing that cat's noses are sensitive I started mixing it with the unscented Fresh Step. This was better. However, after using this litter for a few weeks I noticed a dramatic increase of dust in my house - particulary visible on our black piano. I had to dust it twice a day and who has time for that!? My son also complained the dust bothered him. I switched to another brand (Precious Cat) that doesn't clump as well, but the dust is way less. The other thing I didn't like about the Fresh Step is that it stuck to the bottom of the plastic litter box with the cat's liquid waste. I haven't found the "perfect" litter yet, but I'll keep looking.

I used Fresh Step clay litter for quite a while; but I decided to try this clumping litter when it was recently on sale at the store. This Fresh Step "Premium" clumping cat litter is excellent for your favorite kitty's litter box. The company states that it is very good at absorbing odors--and, by golly, it's TRUE! The odors are minimal at the very most and it is quite comfortable even for my rather sensitive cat. Moreover, I really like how the litter has the capacity to absorb and prevent odor causing bacteria in the litter before my cat even uses his litter box. If you have more than one cat the manufacturer does recommend, not surprisingly, that you use more cat litter in the box. Otherwise, if you have just one cat, two or three inches worth of this cat litter spread about evenly throughout the empty litter box will do fine. You should change the entire litter box once a week on average. (I change mine about twice a week just for my cat's comfort.) It's also a good idea to ... Read more

After trying this product, I don't mess around with anything else. It has eliminated all cat box odor, completely! Even on those really hot humid days, if you are a cat owner you KNOW what I am talking about. This is a truly outstanding product!
