On a message board I am on they reccomend Dr Elsey's Precious cat or cat attract and I have used both and find they start to smell BAD in no more than 3 days.


I am wondering if it is because I use the sterilite boxes for litterboxes.


The brand I like Best is Petsmart's clumping Paper litter as it has almost no dust and clumps well and nEVER smells.


What about the rest of you!

Tidy cat scoopable is the only one that I have found in my price range that is good for dust, and smell. I have tried everything else and it is horrible. cat.

we're switching ours over to worlds best slowly, to see which they prefer to use more, that or tidycat. Worlds best is amazingly dustless and odor free (non perfumed, and odor absorbent), and, while it clumps, it doesn't clump to the cats, to my feet, or to the laundry, the carpet, or the bedding. It's quite nice, and, to me, it smells less like we have cats than it did with the tidy cat, because the tidy cat had a strong aroma of it's own. It's also lighter, and lasts longer than the other litter, in my experiance. looks and smells of grapenuts. at least they've found something useful to do with grapenuts.

my one complaint is that the only places I can seem to find it are at petsmart and whole foods. I've only bought it at petsmart, and it was really expensive, considering. It's still cat litter, it's not like it wraps the cat-do up in cellophane and puts a pretty ribbon on.. so.. we may not stick with it, as it is twice or more the cost and that's an expense that we could deal without.

Have you looked in any local feed stores for it? I've noticed a lot of things, such as litter, cheaper there.

Glad to hear you're having success with it - I'm always on the hunt for a better litter so I love reading reviews!

We use an extremely fine clumping litter called "Cat & Clean". It's great - no dust, hard little clumps, and just a "whiff" of vanilla, which Jamie seems to like. I'm not sure if it's available outside of Germany/Austria/Switzerland, though. The distributor donates €00.25 for every bag sold to "Tierhilfe Süd", an organization that neuters feral cats in Mediterranean countries.
Sam, Vitapet is sold in Europe, too.

World's Best is definitely my favourite by far (and I've tried several brands). No dust, no silica, no smell, and it's flushable, which is very convenient, and environmentally friendly, which is important to me. The cats seem to like it fine (I'm lucky that none of my cats are picky about litter at all, they haven't minded any of the kinds of tried). It *is* a bit too expensive, but it's worth it to me.

I recently discovered World's Best Cat Litter. I agree with everything turtlecat said. It's a great product and I highly recommmend it.

It's also hard to find in my area too. There is only one store (on the enitre island) that has it.

I've been using the Nature's Miracle Cat litter. So far so good! There is not an odor or dust problem and it is made from corn like the World's Best litter.

I've been using World's Best Cat Litter for over 1 year now and think it's an awesome product. I highly recommend it.

I have a littermaid litterbox and I found that the litter that comes in a bucket from Sam's club works the best (not to mention it's cheap). You get 38lbs for a little less than $8.00. I don't have any problems with odors. I know the littermaid helps with that though. I also will clean the litterbox more than I really have to but I hate the smell. I think I'm more picky about the litterbox than my cats. I figure the cats must be OK with it because neither one of my cats have ever went potty anywhere but their litterboxes (It's been over 9 years).

i like Arm & Hammer's clumping litter. they have both scented & unscented & multi-cat formulas. i tried 'the world's best cat litter' but i found that it was more 'odiferous' than the Arm & Hammer. i use the littermaid automatic litterboxes. hope this helps!

We tried Worlds Best and the cats response was to pee outside the litterbox. We now use either Tidy Cats Premium or A&H Clumping. Each cat is different and will let you know if they do't like a certain brand.

I used World's Best for awhile til someone told me about "Clump 'N Flush" (you'd think they could come up with a better name!). Like World's Best, it's made from corn, but the grains are much finer (World's Best looks coarse next to it) and it's got a great, fresh smell. The cats liked the World's Best, but they seem to be more impressed with this one judging by the amount of digging they do (supposedly an indication of how well they like a particular litter). I find it clumps better than the World's Best, which too easily fell apart. It's the same price as World's, but doesn't seem to be as widely available.

I've been using Tidy Cats clumping, and I loathe it. The cats smell so strongly from it that I start sneezing when they jump on me or if I hug them after they've used the box.

I just got a Sam's club membership today, for the reason of buying Tidy Cats in bulk. They didn't have TC, but they did have their brand of litter. It was like $7.50 for a 40 pound container, and my mom says my aunt swears by it, so I picked up a bucket to try. Don't know how it smells or what it's like, it was too heavy to try and carry in from the car tonight. As long as it's not super perfumed, and the cats will use it, I'll be happy!
