Purina Yesterday's News Paper-Based Cat Litter

Very very bad! I started using this product because since it's dust-free, and environmentally friendly, I thought it would be a good alternative to a cheap grocery store brand I used up till now. I was wrong. After 2 days, my clean little lady started searching frantically for a spot where she could go, and somehow she started scratching on my bed - I almost got a heart attack. I grabbed her just in time before a disaster happened, but she dropped some bombs on the way to the box. The next time I actually got her to the litter box, and she refused to go in. I took the lid off, so she pooed balancing on the edge of the box, so her feet wouldn't touch the litter. Today, after only two days I dumped all the litter from the box and as I was scooping it into a plastic bag, it smelled like bleach for some reason - don't know how healthy that is for my kitties. Bottom line: completely un-scoopable and unhygienic, cats hate it, smells bleachy when wet Well, it was a complete waste of money... Read more

When we adopted our cat from the animal shelter, I wanted the trasition to be as easy as possible for him I asked the shelter people what kind of kitty litter they used and they told me Yesterdays News because of the low dust factor and multi cat absorption. I bought it and at first I was skeptical as it was not a typical "clumping" litter but this stuff is fantastic! I replace it once a week and scoop daily and there is no odor at all unless you are literally cleaning the box! Now if I could only find a box that my cat will not throw it all out of, I am good. He is too large for the ones with the lids (20 plus pounds and huge) so I am still searching for a box with a lip that is big enough for him.

I purchased this litter "Yesterday's News/Softer Texture-Fresh Scent" for post surgery reasons (my kitty was being declawed) and it was supposed to be a temporary change until she was healed. Well, I was quite surprised to find, I actually liked this litter! I thought at first "not" being clumping and scooping it would be low on my litter list....but, it scores very high in other areas. $$$ is high / but you actually use less....so it comes out the same Absorbency is 5 star...can't be better! Odor is practically none! This really surprised me the most! Tracking is no longer a daily mess/problem So....all in all....I scoop out the solid waste daily as I find it and once a week, I throw out the entire pellet contents. It is as simple as that! Each week I line a brand new trash bag in the litter box, put in 2-3 inches of pellets and I am good for an entire week! Occasionally, I rotate the pellets in the box....but they are really good for a week and WITHOUT a cat urine odor!... Read more

I am a clean freak with a severe dust allergy. My cats, at 16 and 18 pounds, are pee and poop machines. I'd been using clay litter for years, and just put up with the dust it created and the fact that my cats tracked it EVERYWHERE in my home. I ignored the asthma attacks I got changing the litter. I ignored the occasional revolting clump of dirty cat litter on my kitchen table or bathroom counter or anyplace else they like to climb. What I could not ignore was the fact that their new diet cat food made their urine smell indescribably bad. In fact, the litter box, which I clean obsessively, made my whole apartment smell like cat pee all the time. This is why I decided it was time to risk trying something new. So I bought a bag of Yesterday's News at Petco and tried it out. I mixed half and half with the clay litter for one week, then switched over entirely. My cats weren't thrilled with the change (it's a harsher feeling on the paws), but they used the box right away and hav... Read more

In the house this product is a godsend. Clean and easy to clean up the strays that make their way out of the cat box. This was recommended by my Vet., for post-surgical use.
