Tigerino Crystals Cat Litter - Lavender

I really wasn’t expecting the grains to be so big and "sharp". They don’t cut my cats’ paws of course, but I can see they walk on them very slowly. As for odour absorption, it’s not bad but not amazing either, especially when it comes to their poo. Why? Because my cats don’t cover it up like they usually do. I guess it’s because they don’t like handling such big grains. And the urine isn’t fully absorbed, that’s just not true.

I've been using it for years, many years. I think it used to cost 33 cents per litre. And it worked great: it lasted the full 3 weeks as described (with just one cat) and 10/12 days with two. Then the price started to go up and, over time, its performance and effectiveness went down. Now – with three cats and two litter boxes, only one of which uses this litter – after three days they go elsewhere, and even when freshly changed, they hesitate. It's not the same anymore: the grain size has changed too and I find it everywhere.

We used it for a long time because it absorbs really well and honestly needs less attention than clumping cat litter, but it’s very dusty. Whenever we put in fresh litter, the cat would regularly choke…

I bought the proper 6-pack set and now I’m suffering from the smell every day, as it just doesn’t cover it no matter what. Usually the talc-scented ones from Tigerino are better, but this lavender one was honestly useless. I have to change the litter for two cats twice a week just to keep the smell from getting too bad.
