"one of my new yrs resolutions for 2008 was to become more ecologically-aware, and one of the biggest areas for me to make a change was with my cat litter. when i learned how bad clay litters can be for the environment, i decided to look into biodegradable litters.
after trying yesterday's news (which my cats loathed and which was kicked out of the covered litterbox in insane amounts) and nature's miracle (which worked very well, but had a sickeningly-sweet smell that literally made me ill), i tried this. and i love it. my cats have had no problem with it, it clumps the same as the best clay litters i ever got, and it seems to actually last LONGER than those clay litters. i'd gotten just a small bag at first, to see if i would like it, and after three weeks, i'm just now needing to get a larger bag. so yes, it costs more, but you get what you pay for.
the only negative point with it is the yeasty, beer-like smell when i'm scooping the used litter from the box. i don't like beer anyway, so it is not a smell i enjoy. however, a used litterbox in general is not meant to smell lovely, so it's not that big of a deal to me. sprinkling arm and hammer litter deodorizer has helped immensely.
it's the first flushable litter i've really used, which means for the first time in four years, my husband is actually helping with the litterbox. the ability to simply scoop from the box to the toilet, two feet away, has made it much easier for us to keep up with our cats' litterbox.
a couple of reviews said this litter was glommy and one even said it would 'mold' after only a few hours. i haven't seen any evidence of this whatsoever, and have left the cats alone for a weekend before, and returned to a litterbox that was just as easy to clean as it would have been immediately. also, one review said it was almost impossible to flush - i have a low-flow toilet in my apartment, and have had absolutely no problem whatsoever.
all in all, i find this product to be well worth the money, and makes me feel better about doing something wonderful for the environment."
