JessGrrrl7: I switched to this after using a walnut shell litter for a year because I started to notice that everything in my bedroom where the cat box was had walnut shell powder all over it - air filters, walls, counters, really anything I touched with my finger. This really freaked me out that my cats and I had been inhaling this for who knows how long, so I researched and bought this instead to try it out.

It is far, far less powdery/dusty than the previous litter or any clay litter that I have used. It’s still compostable which is important to me because I’m trying to be earth-friendly where I can (I have separate compost piles for just the cat waste that I only put on my ornamental plants and not in the food garden). I also want to make sure that I’m using something healthy for my cats, and I’m feeling more confident about this product. I am monitoring for signs of dust build up, and so far so good. My only complaint is that it doesn’t seem to work as well with the smell control for urine. I think that might be because my last brand had some kind of enzyme added to help with that specifically, as I don’t think it’s unique to walnut shells.

My cats readily...

StephL: Makes scooping the litter boxes so much easier and clumps really well! Dust is minimal and controls the litter odour very well! I have 3 litter boxes for 2 cats and scoop every 2nd day. I like this product a lot!

Devon: I've been buying this litter for over a year and suddenly it doubles in price? $46 for 10lb is insanity and should be boycott. Will no longer buy regardless of quality if this is their business practice.

Helenlouisa: have been trying to find an alternative to the good fine clay clumping litter I have been using as getting to heavy for me and also wanted something more environmental friendly. Have tried, wood,silicone, corn and walnut but either my cats would not use or the clumps fell apart. Discovered this litter on amazon ( but difficult to find even with the exact title) thought I would give it a try. Well,it's lovely and fine and soft for cats paws , not dusty. really light to handle. and has no smell . even after the cats use it if they don't cover quick enough, they can't find were they peeed! it clumps into a rubbery clumps which holds together so easy to remove. I just shake the litter tray and they come to the surface and be picked out . ( no experience of poo as my cats only pee inside but go out to poo. ) The only down side of this litter is the price which I expect is because it comes from American. just hoping that some pet company will buy in bulk so we can get cheaper and easier in the UK. highly recommend

Kari ChildsKari Childs: This litter is super lightweight and easy to scoop. Perfect for hands that are sore with arthritis! It is dust free. It clumps urine hard and dries out fecal material (poop) so well that waste is minimal - even stays together in firm clump when my one cat pees along the litterbox wall and clump comes free from wall without extra effort. This is the best of any litter I have ever used in my 30 years of owning cars and working in kennels and vet hospitals!! Truly!

But there is a trade off. I wanted unscented (and used unscented scoopable clay litter too), and this litter is scent-free except for a subtle kind of woody smell when first poured into the box. The downside is that is does not absorb odors aa well so some days, I know when one of the cats has used the box because it smells. This is getting better as I find the best diet for my cats though (their poop has less smell so less smell to block). I have one covered and one uncovered litterbox and the smell is an issue with both equally I think. I am sure if I left it, the grass litter would dry the poop up great and the smell with it...but I can't stand to try it so I scoop right away when it happens, which is only...

D. SchueD. Schue: Honestly I don't get the negative reviews -- I literally buy this from Amazon so I can do a review here!

To be fair, I once talked to a PetValu staff who seemed to be very knowledgable and told me that just like human, we're what we eat and the same goes to the cats: so each cat would have totally different PH value and different things in the urine which ultimately resulted in the clump-ability of different litters.

However that being said, after having used literally pretty much all the brands and all types of litter in the market (seriously, all of them! because I have a very finicky cat who would pee on the floor left you scratch your head off not understanding why!), this is really by far the best litter that I've ever tried, period! If it's all possible, I would give it 6 stars!

I only have two cats, but it's 2 of 2 "kitty approved" :) Both of them love it better than any other type and brand. It clumps really well -- seriously, you don't see any other litter company does the same demo like SmartCat by throwing a clumped litter like a ball and see how well it holds.

Also it covers the smell really, really well. In the past, especially when we have...

Casper & Boo: **my review on this litter type is based on cleaning our giant petmate litter boxes at least twice a day and often right after the poop smell hits my nose if i am home.**

i couldn't stand at how natural litters stunk the house up with their deteriorating used litter scent so i decided not to try this grass seed litter type. what a big mistake, could of saved quite a few dollars these last couple of years by not having to dump bad litter had i just given this a try. it is pricier somewhat (20lbs is like 40lb clay so really it is priced kinda like 1 and a half 40lb bag of dr. elsey litter) but, it literally does everything lots of us look for in a litter; low to no dust (depending on brand and handling - this one from here has low dust, petco no dust), clumps very well, no leaving cement piles stuck to boxes, no perfume/fragrant smell (to me it has just a light oatbran kinda scent), it is on the lightweight side, lasts longer than clay litters, and when waste is bagged into an odor blocking bags it doesn't fumigate out of them like other litters do..

The downside of this litter however is two things;
1. it tracks everywhereeeee badly (worse than even light weight...
