Mercy Leigh: The Garfield corn & cassava litters are as close to perfect as litter box filler can get. Early this year I decided to do away with using clay litter of any sort. The decision was predicated on recent studies showing possible health issues in cats from long-term use of clay litters, including lung, sinus, and eye ailments. Over the first half of the year, we tried just about every litter box filler we could find. Since we foster feral litters every year and have several permanent feline residents, there was ample opportunity for side-by-side comparisons. Garfield (and Petfive's other line, Sustainably Yours--same product) won out by a large margin.
The Garfield litter has no real scent which is a plus with some cats who will avoid scented litters. Admittedly, the smell of a fresh, solid deposit left unburied will take several minutes to fade as the desicant action of the litter quickly smothers the odor. This is an issue with any litter, although few can so quickly dry out unburied feces like this stuff. Urine is absorbed so quickly and completely as to not have a chance to offend nasal passages. The quick absorption means waste is encapsulated tightly which prevents...

Jamoomoo: -------Added Review -------
Feel obliged to add that this litter seems to have been discontinued BUT in fact, it is renamed & sold here as 'Sustainably Yours' in 13lb bags by the same mfg. There are 2 varieties avail - same as this, but it seems (at least for the Plus/ multi-cat) it is an even finer texture, even more resembling sand than the 'tiny' version of the orig Garfield litter.
It is still my fav litter & I still do mix it w my grass seed litter - which stretches both out, as well as performing even better - as stated in my orig review.
As for comments as to cassava being poisonous - while it may sound concerning, to me it is not an issue as the mfg uses the human grade cassava that everyone EATS, bc it's refined version is TAPIOCA... as in Tapioca pudding & Tapioca starch used in way too many human food products as a thickening agent.... I highly doubt PetFive wants to risk everything they own by killing your cat with an unprocessed/ unfit for human consumption product (though I can understand any initial concern).
As for comments of people having 'flushing issues'... if you read the back of the bag, you are supposed to let it sit in the bowl until...
