Side by Side Comparison of: Purina Tidy Cats

I love Tidy Cats' litter. We've been using it for our 2-cat household for 8yrs. I've tried other brands, and keep coming back to Tidy Cats. I like this packaging MUCH MORE than the plastic packaging. This is more ecologically friendly. This box fills 2 Buddha dome litter boxes and lasts for about 1 month with regular scooping. I also use Arm & Hammer's litter deodorizer powder throughout the month to keep it fresh.

Of all the Tidy Cats, this is the one I like best; the red lid. I have only one cat, and I clean her bos twice a day. If I have a decent amount od litter in her box, and if I wait for the product to absorb and clump, I do not end up replacing nearly the entire contents of the cat box. This is not true with some of the other colored lids; at least in my case.This big size is pretty heavy for me to cart through the house, so I use a dolly. But it does make for fewer reorders.I never have to wait long for delivery.

Works great. It helps eliminate odors. This litter clumps very well too. When I bought it, I thought it was the big containers I buy at the store, but it's actually about 3/4 that size. The container it comes in it very durable. I like to reuse them for other things such as storing cleaning rags out int he garage, putting cat food in and even kids toys like legos. I've also heard of people using them to put their homemade detergent in too. Looking forward to trying that soon. Luckily though, I got it on sale and it was a great price even with it being the size that it is. I was surprised it was delivered in a box. I figured it'd just have a shipping tag slapped on it.

Great product. Can't find this in Puerto Rico, so Amazon is always where I shop for items that I can't find in PR. Great product. Bought 2 of them for my large cat. Recommend this product to everyone.

There are many complaints about this litter and I think its because people have purchased the non-clumping version. We switched over to this kind after my cat was diagnosed with asthma. This has practically no dust, and clumps great! The only disappointment is it doesn't cover smells very well but I think that's to be expected from a dust-free litter.

This is a clumping litter that works very well. Cat does his business, I scoop it out, and when the litter starts to run a little low - I add some more.The container this litter comes in is also a bonus. Plastic which can be recycled. It's also easy to carry and pour with a bucket-like handle. The lid reseals nicely every time.My only complaint is the dust that comes from the litter when scooping and pouring.

I very much like the Tidy Cats Clumping Litter for Multiple cats. Sometimes it does not clump especially when it is up against the plastic liner in the box. I have to pull the urine that is trying to clump away from the liner and sprinkle a little litter on it. Then it will clump up so I can remove it from the box. Other than that I like this litter. I have four cats - 3 in the house 24 hours a day and one in and out. They appear to like it. It they do not like litter they will refuse to go in the box and do their business on the outside of the box. That is how I know they like Tidy Cats Cat Litter!!!

Ordered for my mother because buying litter and getting it from the store to inside the house is very hard for her. This has a clean smell like laundry detergent, a little strong but cats don't seem to mind it and keeps room smelling fresh. Good price for the convenience of having it delivered to the porch. Do have to note that Amazon combined this item with another order, completely crushing an MP3 player we had also ordered. Very dumb but sadly wasn't surprised when it happened.

I have three cats and I have tried almost every commercial litter on the market (Fresh Step, Scoop Away, etc.) and I always seem to come back to Tidy Cat. It is the best Value for money and it does the job in my home. I gave it four stars instead of five because at times when I am scooping the clumps fall apart which is annoying because the urine "clump" then spreads all over the litter box and it breaks into such small pieces that it goes right through the scoop. I feel that I have to make more total litter changes because of this. Like I said earlier, as far as value for money Tidy Cat is the one I would recommend.

This worked pretty well for our 3 cat house hold and it's good for a clumping litter. The odor masking isn't perfect, but I'm not sure any litter does that perfectly when you have so many felines around. I generally buy based on lowest price and will stock up on this whenever a coupon deal is offered. I have had issues twice, however, with receiving a cracked container from Amazon - not a product issue itself but these plastic containers (otherwise convenient) snap easily at the corners.

Very happy with this litter. It is less dusty than previous litters I have purchased and has a tolerable scent. My cat seems to have allergies to dusty litters with heavy fragrance (I had never realized some cats can actually have litter allergies), but she seems to like this litter and it does not make her sneeze as did the previous one. Great value also!

This is not the best cat litter out there. But I think it's might be the best bang for the buck. It's a good value with strong odor control and clumping. Fresh step and a couple others may have better odor/clumping but costs more.Cat litter in Paraguay is horrible - don't know what a great product American cat litter is until you can't buy it.BTW- sometimes I buy other litters and use the empty container to blend litters. Can't do that with those that come in cardboard box, which is more prone to spills/ tears etc. should get 1/2 star for the container.

Was looking for a litter Low in dust, Low Tracking, Unscented and Clumping -Pros -Clumps wellHandles Multiple Cats no problemCons -Medium TrackingDefinately ScentedDusty (although not as dusty as others)A couple of notes adding 28 September 2017 since Tidy Cats responded to me -1) still tracks less than Swheat brand and the "light" varieties of litter2) I still haven't found a litter that my cat will not track - he has a "dig to the other side of the planet" style to his box use3) my litter boxes sit on one of those fancy cat tracking rugs - those aren't an end all answer but they do decrease the amount of litter in my house significantly.Thanks for the response Tidy Cats!

I really love Tidy Cats litter and it does great for clumping and hiding odor. My only dislike is that this particular product has a very strong "chemical potpourri" smell to it that I'm not a big fan of. I think I'll switch back to the Multiple Cat formula over the 24/7 Performance one. (Also, the lid for the bucket is very hit-or-miss with coming off. Once it was so stuck, I had to seriously strain to get it off).

This is a smaller pail than what I am used to seeing in the store. The litter is the "heavy" variety as opposed to the new lighter varieties that are now on the market. Frankly, I prefer the heavier because the lighter seems to stick to my cats' paws and make a bigger mess around the house. I like buying cat litter online, particularly when shipping is free, because it is delivered to the house and I do not have to carry it from the grocery store. The smaller pail with the heavier litter is actually a good combination; however, my wife suggested that this particular litter does not do as good a job with odor control, so she prefers that I do not buy it again.

This letter is okay I definitely prefer the scented with the glade the quality is pretty good I mean it could be better kind of dusty I don't meet your cover's smell as well as some as well as some others but if you needed something cheap and fast this is a good alternative

Inexpensive and good value for the money. Otherwise, it's a fairly average, if not to say mediocre litter. Dustier than I would like and tracks moderately. Also, although the packaging does not say anything about scent, it is scented - not to an extreme extent, but it's still annoying, as I prefer my cat not to smell like an air freshener! The clumps break apart somewhat easily and crumble in the litter box. Overall, I prefer Elsie's, but will keep using this at the moment due to cost.

I hated this litter. It clumps a little too much. I'll be cleaning the litterbox and these clumps are huge! Also making me go through the huge pail very quickly. My cat has to sit there for I kid you not, 3-5 minutes straight trying to move the litter, it will wake me up at night-litter box is in another room and I hear him sitting there scratching. I think its a waste, and a little more heavy duty than necessary. I'm ordering something else since I've already run out.

The product itself is good - I love the Tidy Cats litter. However, the ridiculous price Amazon is now selling it at is very disappointing so I will not be buying this again through Amazon until they drop the price back down again.

It was worth it for the tub, but we only have one cat and it did not keep the smell in. It also clumps SO much that we went through the litter WAY too fast. Felt like I had not gotten my money's worth. Switched to a none clumping formula and just use the tub for storage.

I tried this in a pinch. I ran out of Fresh Step and decided to give it a go. The problem is that this is what appears to be a dense clay litter. Unlike Fresh Step, which absorbs the urine completely, Tidy Cat just let's it sit on top until it slowly dries out. My cat won't even bother to try to cover his messes. I've used worse but I won't be buying this again.

We switched to this litter because it was on sale and what a mistake. It smelled awful and ended up all over the floor in our bathroom. My cat is kind of a pain in the ass and knocks his litter out of the box but this litter didn't really clump well at all so that only made it worse. We won't be using this again!

It's ok... It smells strongly of perfumes and it doesn't clump the cat pee as well as other clumping litters do. It was cheap though, and it's big so it'll last awhile.

Tidy Cats, I used to love your litter. Been using it over a decade. Noticed lately that it doesn't clump like it used to. Very hard to remove urine from cat box due to it not clumping to make it scoopable. Don't know why you changed things. You had a great thing going, but now I'm going to have to change to a different brand since I can't remove the waste from the box.

Our cats didn't approve. Seriously, I have never seen so many unhappy creatures in my life!I thought I'd save a little and get a lot. The box arrived- couldn't hide it from them and the litter was changed. VERY displeased kitties. I am still apologizing for my choice! Will not purchase again. This does nothing to cover the odor and while we do have several cats, we have been purchasing a different brand that DOES cover the odor leaving you wondering where on EARTH the litter boxes are kept. Seriously, I had Home Care come in after my fusion and the physical therapist had no idea that the litter boxes were just in the closet behind us until he realized there was a stream of kitties coming and going into that room!Too much dust! Dust is not good for your kitty no matter how old and this brand kicks up enough dust to make you think you, yourself, are using the litter box. No more. I apologized and they forgave me- after I first had our kids change out the bad litter (this one) for the good stuff the MOMENT it arrived. No more cutting corners.

Horrible. I've used this product off store shelves and it's fine but for some reason this door delivered litter would not clump whatsoever.

They've overpriced this product. Check your local store prices first. It's now close to triple the price.

Doesn't clump as good as it used to and needs replaced way too often. I've recently switched to the 'World's Best Litter' and love it!

Stinks up the whole place when my cat uses it... Not good. Invest in something better.

this is the lightweight stuff. it works, but gets all over the house. since it's so light, it doesn't fall out of your cats paws, even if you have a mat. next thing you know, you can follow your cats every movements by looking for grains of litter. and if their paws are wet, you now have little muddy paw prints everywhere. go back to the normal heavy clumping little
