I am petite and have two boy cats. I only have a studio apartment so storage is a problem. I used to use Worlds Best, tried Fresh Step, scented and the Febreze is much too strong for me and my cats. I was buying the 14 pound bag which is all I can handle. I just tried Tidy Cats and the jury is still out! I don’t believe I can handle 20 pounds. I also have a bad neck and back.

Any ideas? I do use Chewy once I decide on a new litter.

What I will say is this: We still really like this litter, BUT, for some reason, after/during Covid, the formula changed and it is now way dustier than it ever was before. In fact, we used to marvel at how it was nearly dust-free compared to other litters we’ve used. Now, it is dusty enough that I will only pour it outside of the house. To say that it’s a pain to take the litter boxes outside, pour the litter, and then bring the boxes back inside….is an understatement. Unfortunately, this is the only way it works for us. Otherwise, things get covered in a dusty film. :/ For many people, this just wouldn’t work.

So why do we keep using it? For us, the odor control has been fantastic, and it seems to last a good while before we need to completely refresh the litter. It’s just frustrating that they took an amazing litter and made it much less amazing.

And yes, I would agree about the bags being heavy. For us, it’s not terrible, but there are many who would find these bags to be too heavy and too bulky to handle.

Love your site. Thanks for all the great content! We cat parents appreciate you!

Glad to hear that it’s working for you!

Hi Alyson, we don’t usually go in-depth on this in our cat litter reviews, but we do talk a bit more about sodium bentonite clay in this article on litter in general: https://cats.com/best-cat-litter
