Cat Spraying No More!
Love the litter, and the Amazon price is not bad!,
We have a small house, and I have a sharp sense of smell, so this matters a lot to me. I’m going to be just biting the bullet and buying this stuff. A bag lasts us over a month for two cats, scooping once a day. I used to use a corn-based litter, and my cats took to the Boxiecat right away; no transition problems at all.
8/14/13 update: Boxiecat is $32 on Amazon and $20 at Boxiecat.com — the $20 includes delivery. I contacted both Amazon & Boxiecat about the price difference. Boxiecat replied; Amazon didn’t. The deal is that Boxiecat doesn’t set the price on Amazon; Amazon does. Boxiecat sells wholesale to Amazon, and Amazon marks it up. So, I’ll probably buy Boxiecat again, but not through Amazon; I’d be willing to pay a couple of bucks more for the convenience of ordering through Amazon, but $12 more is ridiculous.
4/2/14 update: I just noticed that AmAzon has significantly lowered the price.– yay!

|This litter is amazing. And amazingly expensive.,
Except… this stuff ACTUALLY WORKS.
My cat now has CRF and receives sub-q fluids 3x a week, which means she urinates more than the average cat. I truly believed at this point that it was time to give up the ‘perfect’ litter search, use whatever was cheapest, and get on with my life because if nothing worked when she used the box as a perfectly healthy cat then obviously it was all going to be a thousand times worse now. Boxiecat proved me so very, very wrong. There is absolutely NO SLUDGE. NONE. How can this be?! It clumps up and doesn’t fall apart when I scoop it out of the box – witchcraft, I say! You may get a tiny bit of sludge if your cat loves to piss you off and pee in the corners of the box but cover it up with the litter, wait a few minutes, and it dries it up for you. No coughing when I pour this into the box because there’s very little dust. Smell? What smell? Do I even still have a cat? I don’t smell poop or pee or, better yet, irritating potpourri fragrance attempting to mask poop and pee. As for litter tracking, well, my cat always makes a mess with that because, hey, she doesn’t care, she’s not the one cleaning it up. But it certainly doesn’t hurt to step on this stuff it’s so fine.
Now, if Boxiecat is my own personal religion as my review would lead you to believe, why wouldn’t I give it 5 stars? Well. Paying $20 for 16 pounds of litter is… a lot. To say the least. To say the most, it’s downright insane. I completely understand that a huge chunk of that gets eaten up by shipping with USPS Priority flat-rate boxes, I really do. But as the customer, that doesn’t change the fact that I’m still forking over $20 for 16 pounds of litter. If you use a large litter box, have multiple cats, and/or a cat that urinates a lot, you’ll be going through this stuff a bag a week and that is just way too much money for most people to spend on litter.
In short: this litter is so amazing I want to adopt it and call it my own, but only so I could claim it as a dependent and get a tax break. Seriously, Boxiecat folks, I urge you to think about getting this on store shelves so the price could be lowered exponentially, or to use another company/method of shipping that’s more cost effective, or even to sell much larger packages of litter at one time [perhaps offer a 40 lb. bag instead of the measly 16 – especially considering it’s the larger sizes that more people need delivered; I can carry home 16 lbs. but not 40!] Maybe use the largest Priority flat-rate box and fill ‘er up with as much litter as it can hold if you reeeeally need to keep using USPS? Sadly, until any of that happens, I have to supplement my Boxiecat with cheaper and much less effective supermarket litter because my cat urinates like it’s going out of style in her large luxurious roomy box and I simply cannot afford her indefinite $20-a-week litter habit.
EDITED TO ADD ON 8/31/12: The last two bags I purchased were VERY dusty. Kind of ridiculously so. Not even remotely close to the 99.9% dust-free claim, which sucks the big one because it wasn’t this bad when I first started purchasing Boxiecat. That said, the clumping power still remains the best I’ve found so far.
EDITED TO ADD ON 7/15/13: So I had to taper off from using Boxiecat because, well, EXPENSIVE. I wanted to see if they ever started selling larger packages of litter or lowered prices and found they are finally selling directly on Amazon [when I first wrote my review, it was a ‘sold on an external website only’ deal simply being advertised here]. My jaw hit the floor when I saw it is currently being sold for $33.16 – STILL FOR ONLY 16 POUNDS OF LITTER. I know Amazon’s prices regularly fluctuate so this won’t always be the case but for the love of all that is holy, there is absolutely no reason to buy it for higher than what’s listed on their official website where it’s still expensive but at least not outrageously so.

|Success in finding fragrance-free, dust-free clumping litter!,
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 Cats, 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.
