Cat Litter, Large-Grain Formula 10 lbs

This is the only litter that works for my two giant, long-haired Maine Coon boys. However, I recommend the Large Grain, not Mixed or Small, for long-haired cats, and Small Grain for short-haired cats. I have been using cassava-based litter for almost 7 years, and back then it was out under the label "Garfield".--TLDRAll Grain Sizes:PRO - Fast clumping; Great odor control; Light color to track some health concerns; Long-lasting between changes; Non-toxic; Zero dust.Large Grain:PRO - Minimal tracking; No clumping/cementing in long fur.Small Grain:PRO - Fully coats stool for best odor control; Lasts longest between changes.CON - Poor tracking; Clumps/cements in long fur.Mixed Grain:CON - Most difficult to sift/keep clean (requires multiple tools / wastes more clean litter).--Small grain gets cemented into long fur, and is nearly impossible for my cats to remove themselves and requires more meticulous grooming. Large grain is perfect for long-haired cat breeds because the granules are big enough that they don't get stuck in their fur at all, and can't even make their way in their toe beans, yet still amazing at clumping urine in the box. It's amazing.Tracking is so much less with large grain, and easier to clean up than the small grain. This is where large outperforms small grain for Maine Coons, hands down. The small grain gets tracked everywhere so easily, like the cats came from the beach and brought the sandy shore. However, if I had short-haired cats, I WOULD probably use small grain anyway.The small grain is actually my favorite in how it coats poop and how easy it is to keep the box clean because it's easy to finely sift out smaller pieces of stool (especially soft stool that got broken up, as one of my cats is sometimes overly enthusiastic in covering up evidence of his waste).Any grain size soaks up urine super fast, and I can scoop it out instantly for disposal, but waiting a little bit does help it to solidify. PRO TIP: Make sure there is enough depth of litter so that the urine can solidify quicker than it can reach the bottom. That way, there's less scraping and keeps the vessel cleaner longer. You'll figure out how tall you'll need to keep it filled/re-filled.It stays clean longer than other litters I've used, and it's easy to see when it needs to be changed. Small also stays cleaner longer because most mess (like tiny pieces of soft stool or urine) clumps larger than an individual grain, and with a good, fairly fine mesh sifter (PRO TIP: buy the ones sold for reptile cages for Small Grain!), you can really get all the waste out. This ends up making it a bit more economical. For this reason, I don't like Mixed Grain, as it makes scooping unnecessarily complex. You need a scooper with large enough openings so that clean, large grains don't get captured, but that leaves some dirty, small grains clumps too small to capture. If you use a finer scooper to grab those pieces, you're grabbing clean, large grains along with it. So PRO TIP: Skip Mixed Grain size to avoid difficulty sifting.Odor control is great, but I would say due to how the small grain fully coats stool, that it has a bit better odor control. Even so, people come to my house and can't smell litter box odors in the guest bathroom that has two very giant litter boxes that my two boy cats use the most. (We have a third, smaller one in our primary bathroom because 1.5 boxes per cat is the rule we go by.) The largest box they prefer almost exclusively for stool (sometimes urine), the medium for urine, and the third sometimes urine.PRO TIP: I've tried a lot of different litter-tracking mats, but found that for the large grain, Chenille bath rugs are the absolute best and easiest to keep clean. The tall, large pile essentially softly brushes most of the large grains off of paws, and allows me to shake them off back into the litter box. They then go straight into the wash on a regular basis. I keep a second set to replace the one in the wash. It's the best. I hated wiping or hand-cleaning other types of litter mats. Tracked small grains just kind of cemented (in fur, or on mats) and was always a nightmare to deal with.

My cat is 11 years old and started peeing outside his litterbox and had diarrhea all over the house (we're talking on the sofa, chairs, trails of it on the floor). We took him to the vet and they stated that it was likely that he had an infection that was causing him to pee all over and that was likely causing him anxiety which was what made him have diarrhea. I asked about changing his litter and litter box but the vet recommended that we keep everything the same. I ended up watching one of Jackson Galaxy's videos about litter and litter boxes and after hearing what he had to say, I decided to give this a shot along with an open and low litter box (he has been using a top entry litter box). Since changing it, my baby has not had one accident and has seemed so much more calm and happy. My dogs keep trying to eat it, but that's nothing a gate or DoorBuddy can't fix. My cat has used clay litter all his life and I feel so bad that he may have been trying to tell me that he hated it. I am so glad I found this litter! We put both his old litter and this one side by side just to see and he hasn't once used his old litter. It clumps really well, there's no dust, it controls the smell really well, has natural ingredients, and it is so easy to use! It does track about the same as his old litter, but overall I highly recommend! This is what we will be using going forward!

If I could give more stars I would. I've had MANY cats through out my life and have tried MANY litters. Everything from clay to wood, and even tofu. Everything I had tried either didn't absorb order and liquid, was to dusty, or was to much hassle!!This litter is the best I have stumbled across out of all other litter options. It clumps VERY well, you could shift all you want and you won't get any small pieces that fall back into the clean litter. It absorbs literally ALL order, and no dust!!To top it all off its eco friendly and bio degradable!! Your cat will love the feeling of it under their paws because it honestly feels like sand, so if your cat is picky and your wanting a better option for both you and them this is the one!! Switching to this litter is very easy as well!!And finally, last candle on the cake, little to no tracking and I use the mixed grain!!Please don't over think about this product!! It's AMAZING!! Just do it!! It's worth it!!
