Only thing I’ll use, now!
The only thing I’d remembered about paper litter was the negative, the fact that you can’t just sift out the wet bits with a straining scoop. (tips on that to follow) But, my cat Tesla got a serious infection from clay litter compacted in a claw, and we had to switch to paper litter till it healed.I have two of their 4 litter boxes in one tiny room. The shelves and everything in there are always covered in white dust from clay litter. I clean it away and it’s everywhere again in no time. The grit from clay always gets spread everywhere and scratches the floors. Not having that dust anymore is reason enough to switch to fresh news. My Asthmatic cat certainly agreesPros:With the paper litter, there’s no cloud of dust in my face when I clean the boxes, and no floor grit.I don’t have to worry about any more toe infections from impacted clay in claws.One 25 lb bag of paper litter is lasting me twice as long as a 30 lb bucket of clay litter.Cheaper, because it lasts longer.It’s a great way to make use of recycled paper.I’m can compost it.Available in UNSCENTED! fragrances are bad for cats and perfume+poo doesn’t smell any better than just poo. If you’re allergic to most added fragrances (like I am) this is extra important.Since I’m allergic to soy inks the compost will only be for flowers, not veg, but that’s still better than piles of clay in a land fill.Tips:The more often you scoop, the easier it is to find the used bits. Litter boxes should always be scooped daily, regardless of litter type, but doing it frequently also makes it easier to spot peed-on litter before it dries.If your cat pees only small amounts at a time, the paper can dry out before you go to scoop. If this happens, look for swollen bits. Thicker bits mean they expanded from having gotten wet.Tesla covers his tiny pee spots, so I gently scoop back top bits until I see lower bits that look a bit swollen or are coming apart. I scoop out swollen ones and some around it.My other cat, Schroedinger, has serious excess urination and doesn’t cover anything. This litter can handle her buckets of pee, as the paper just swells up and soaks it up like sponges.I heavily recommend using biodegradable puppy pee pads as liners in the boxes. If a dribble gets through the gaps between paper bits, they absorbs it. Every so often I let the boxes get low. After scooping, I pour unused litter into a bag and put the liner in my paper compost, add a new liner, and dump the litter back in.Plastic absorbs odors. I used to have to empty, scrub, and soak our boxes ever so often to appease my picky cat. Paper doesn’t stick to the plastic like clay, so it would be easier now even if I didn’t use the liners. But with the liners, I don’t usually bother. Sometimes I mist the bottom of the box with alcohol and let it dry before putting in a new liner.

Works well
My cat has an injured paw and I didn’t want normal litter getting stuck to her foot. This paper litter doesn’t stick to her foot and it doesn’t track either. It’s basically recycled newspaper and other ingredients to absorb odor. It seems to work pretty well. It took about a day for my cat to realize that that is her new litter. It’s fairly heavy, like regular litter. Much easier to pick up if spilled. I’m happy with my purchase

Great litter but hate how it’s packaged
I love this litter and use it exclusively. Dust free and overall great. HOWEVER, would you please please please, not double-box this for delivery? It gets treated as though it is a fragile vase, but it’s the most unfragile thing out there. So one box or no box would be fine! Then less garbage and recycling. Thanks!

Little to no mess and great odor control
My cat didn’t use the litter the first day, maybe because I replaced his litter box too. I had a plastic cover litter box and switched it to the stainless steel. He was curious about the litter and started eating a piece of it lol. He did that twice, but didn’t start using the litter until the next day at night time (my poor baby didn’t use the litter for almost 2 days). This litter is awesome. I just wish it wasn’t that pricey. Hopefully, 12 lbs of this bag lasts over a month.The litter smells like newspaper, I’d rather smell that than cat poop and pee. It control odor really well, dust free, little to no tracking around the litter box and nothing was sticking to his paws. I notice there’s no clumping so the urine goes to the bottom and if my cat not covering his feces, it’s just sitting on top. So that you have to scoop it out often. I would recommend it to give it a try.

Good for what ails your cat’s toes
Bought this on recommendation from vet to get pelleted litter for my 18 yo cat who had a foot wound from an ingrown claw. The pelleted stuff won’t get into the healing wound like the regular clumping clay litter will.My cat thought it was a little weird at first but now he loves it. BONUS – no litter tracking!I tried another brand that couldn’t hold up to his output and the odor control was not good.This brand has great odor control. Trick is to put about a third of a 25 pound bag into the box and the odor control will work great. After cleaning out the presents your cat leaves you in the litter stir it around a bit to keep the odor control working at maximum. Oh, and the stuff is absorbant too.I think this is a healthier choice for my cat and keeping the floor around the litter box is a whole lot easier that using clumping clay litter.Recommended by a multi-cat household dad.

I like the paper pellets, and I’m happy to have found them here, as my local shops only have pine. The paper doesn’t have dust like the wood pellets, so there is no tracking. Occasionally, a couple gets kicked out but not tracked through the house. I think this is better for the cats as well. There is no smell from the clean litter (yay), and it keeps the smell to a minimum when used. It’s also light and easy to clean and change.

REcommeded by my vet after our cat became allergic to wood pellets we were using. Absorbs like magic, no smell, easy to clean. Will be a repeat buyer for sure.
