   Success in finding fragrance-free, dust-free clumping litter!, February 3, 2014

   This review is from: Cat’s Pride Fresh and Light Premium Clumping Fragrance Free Scoopable Cat Litter Jug, 15-Pound (Misc.)

   I’ve been searching for a replacement for my old standby Arm & Hammer unscented multi-cat scoopable litter, which recently has become unbearably dusty. It seems our entire household is sensitive to dust from cat litter, not surprisingly the cats themselves. My goal was to find hypoallergenic fragrance-free, dust-free clumping litter. We have five cats with eight litter boxes for them to choose from. I scoop the boxes daily and completely change out the litter once a month.

   Here are six results in order of my preference, the first two coming in at a virtual tie! Notes: My cats use the first three brands relatively equally (Cat’s Pride, Boxiecat, Precious Cat). The first five brands clump well without crumbling, but I can’t vouch for the clumping quality of Fresh Step since our cats didn’t even get a chance to try it. Odor control was not a deciding factor for me in these selections.

   Cat’s Pride Fresh & Light Premium Clumping Fragrance Free
   5 stars
   No fragrance, no dust, just right. Success! Fine texture. Advantage over others: exceptionally light weight, multi-color granules that make even the tiniest clumps of urine or fecal matter easy to detect and remove. The unique warm gray granule color is somehow extra appealing and clean looking to me. Featured on an episode of Must Love Cats. Definitely plan to buy again. (Note: I did not purchase this item on Amazon due to the high price here as of Jan. 2014.)

   Boxiecat Premium Clumping Clay Cat Litter
   5 stars
   Fragrance free, 99.999% dust free, very easy cleanup. Success! I noticed only a minuscule amount of dust in sunlight when removing clumps, but it wasn’t enough to trigger any allergic reaction. Fine texture. Advantage over others: clumps appear near the surface for relatively easy cleanup. Clumps do not end up stuck to the inside bottom of the litter box as in other clumping litters, which often require scraping and extra cleanup efforts. Cat Fancy Editor’s Choice 2012 for Best Cat Product of the Year. Definitely plan to buy again.

   Dr. Elsey’s Precious Cat Ultra Premium Clumping Cat Litter
   4 stars
   Fragrance free, at least 99.9% dust free as claimed. My cats like it, but my personal preference is the finer texture of both Cat’s Pride Fresh & Light and Boxiecat. And unlike the superior Boxiecat, clumps for Precious Cat often get stuck to the inside bottom surface of the litter box, even with the recommended three-inch depth. Still, this is a definite improvement over Arm & Hammer, not enough dust to trigger allergies, and I would consider buying it again if I hadn’t already discovered Cat’s Pride and Boxiecat.

   Purina Tidy Cats Instant Action
   3 stars
   Slight fragrance and zero dust, but only one of my five cats chooses to use it. My oldest cat is the only one who will use Tidy Cat, which works out well since he doesn’t like sharing his litter box. The unique granules are large, smooth and rounded, so perhaps he likes the feel of this litter on his paws. Fortunately it is dust free and the fragrance is mild and pleasant, so I will continue to buy this brand to keep him happy.

   Ever Clean Extra Strength Cat Litter with Carbon Plus, Unscented
   1 star
   Dusty enough to trigger sneezing when I scoop out the clumps; emits a subtle but sharp fragrance that causes a burning sensation in my nasal passages. The cats don’t seem to mind using it, but I don’t feel good about them breathing in the dust and the sharp odor and will not be buying it again.

   Fresh Step Premium Scoopable Unscented Clumping Cat Litter Multiple Cat Strength
   0 stars
   Extremely dusty, strong odor, triggers allergies. Cats didn’t get a chance to try it. This one turned out to be so dusty and emitted such a strong odor throughout the house, we had to remove the opened box from the house immediately. Triggered allergies for both my husband and me – coughing, headaches, burning sensation in eyes and nasal passages, sneezing. Definitely will not buy again.

   Four cats – great litter!, November 19, 2012

   By 

   Kathy F (Austin, Texas USA) –

   This review is from: Cat’s Pride Fresh and Light Premium Clumping Fragrance Free Scoopable Cat Litter Jug, 15-Pound (Misc.)

   We began using Cat’s Pride Fresh & Light Fragrance-Free litter several months ago when our rescue cat gave birth to four kittens. We kept them enclosed in one bedroom and didn’t want a heavy fragrance choking us while we slept. We had tried several other brands but kept encountering nasty problems. This brand fulfilled our expectations!

   It is nearly dust-free! Whether we are pouring it out or the cats are digging in it – no dust!

   It doesn’t smell like some awful perfume! Our clothes and bedding smell like – nothing! It’s so nice to go out in public and not smell like cat litter.

   It clumps REALLY well! As long as there is at least an inch and a half of litter in the box, the urine makes nice clumps that don’t break apart when scooping.

   It’s lightweight! I don’t struggle with loading/carrying this litter at all.

   The odor control is good enough. With four cats, a daily scooping is necessary (of course.) Usually, there is no smell in between scoopings.

   The only real problem we have encountered is locating this litter in our local stores. It used to be available in every grocery and pet store, but recently only the fragrance-type is available. I hope to find a local supplier again.

   Competitively priced and virtually unscented, January 20, 2015

   By 

   Big Red –

   This review is from: Cat’s Pride Fresh and Light Premium Fragrance Free Scoopable Cat Litter, 2-Case (Misc.)

   There are three things I care about when buying litter.

   1 – Clumping – most litters I’ve used have clumped well, but there are some brands that just don’t do it well enough. Cat’s Pride, safe to say, clumps as expected. My little guy doesn’t hesitate to use the litter, and he approves. He’ll use almost anything, though. I could probably dump Grape Nuts into the litter box and he’d still use it.

   2 – Fragrance – I’m not a fan of fragrance since it can stink up a room, and if dust gets on the furniture or something then it’s going to smell like litter. Cat’s Pride is advertised as “fragrance free” and that’s mostly true. It still has a faint scent, but certainly nothing to complain about.

   3 – Price – I’ve been buying Fresh Step for years, and Cat’s Pride is cheaper pound for pound here on Amazon. Jugs aren’t the norm for litter these days, but if you get these jugs rather than the 28-pound box you can save more money on a per-pound basis.

   I may consider switching to Cat’s Pride…
