Impressed!
I was using one of the more expensive types of Biokat's clumping litter and I was very happy with the quality, until they changed the formulation slightly.
So I decided to try this while it was on offer.
I'm very impressed.
The 5l pack lasted my small male cat 23 days. Which I think is very reasonable at the cost per bag. 20c a day.
-It is dusty when you pour it in, but an acceptable kind of drys-the-air-out dust.
-The first thing I noticed was the scoop. After a day or so of aggravating the litter, I had a perfectly clean litter scoop, instead of having one with mashed in clumping litter paste on it. Yay. It actually cleaned off whatever residue of soiled clumping litter was on there. And when you scoop out the poo, thats it, just a poo on a scoop. No heavy clumps. So daily scooping is not a chore. It takes 10secs to fling poo into the toilet.
-I stirred it around a bit but didn't notice much urine pooling in any case.
-It does still track a little, even though the crystals are large, but the absolute best thing about this litter is... even if some escapes the box, it is very inoffensive (doesn't go far) and it doesn't get mushed into the carpet like other fine clumping litters can. It also does not stick to fur (at least not on my short haired cat)
I can imagine if you have hard floor, that the crystals could travel a bit further, any type of soft mat outside the box would help.
-My cat likes it, he enjoyed playing with the stray crystals actually, he even brought one up onto the bed in his mouth!!
-When the litter had started to turn yellow and needed changing, even though it did smell a little of ammonia, it wasn't an offensive smell, just a little musty when the box was opened. It wasn't like the heavily perfumed cloying soiled litter smell of clumping litter, which, while not as offensive as a smell of pee, eventually becomes annoying.
- I often listen to my cat peeing :-/ so I know everything is 'ok'. The crystals sizzle when they are absorbing moisture, in a really satisfying way! (going to be a crazy old cat lady for sure)
-Emptying the whole tray was perhaps slightly easier then before (with fine clumping litter) Its not quite as heavy, and the larger particles are easier to pour into a bin.
-Lastly, it leaves no residue in the tray, a quick rinse will suffice. It did a decent job of scouring whatever staining there was from previous 'sticky' clumping litter.
