Side by Side Comparison of: Purina Tidy Cats vs Tidy Cats

I am in love with the tidy cats breeze system. Only one of my two cats will use it though, but that's not enough to knock off a star. The other cat has a totally different kind of litter box, and he likes it, so we run that box and the other kitty uses this one. The nice thing about this litter is cats don't track it as much. If it ends up on the floor, it's only because our puppy had taken to eating kitty roca and scatters it all over the floor while digging for her culinary delights.

I switched over to the Breeze system several months ago. My 16 yr old cat has just started using it but my 5 yr old persian hopped right in. This system is great for a long haired cat because there's nothing to stick or cling to his fur. It absorbs odors and is easy to scoop and clean. I wish there was a biodegradable option for the pads & pellets but other than that, I think this is great.

I have this on automatic order; I receive a 6 pack every 4 months. I have 6 of this type of "litter" box and 5 of the normal type. I LOVE this system. I have 6 cats and only one taught herself to use the (people) toilet. These pellets are easy to clean up if one of the cats gets wacky and tosses a few around. No big tracking of dust and gravel, or corn, or wheat, all over the basement. They don't get saturated with all the cat boxes I have so I don't change the pellets out each month I do it in a staggered pattern. maybe once every two or three months depending upon winter or summer. This is great if you want litter boxes which are so easy to clean. Great if you have allergies or asthma! (I have both). All that dust from other litters was killing me and the clean up was an ongoing battle. It took a couple of the cats to warm up to this but I placed them side by side to the regular litter boxes and within 2 months they were all preferring to pee in the Breeze system boxes. Only a couple of the cats poops in them since I have the two types side by side they will poop in the normal boxes-- although I am noticing that they are moving to the Breeze system as well. I've had this system for a couple of years now, and it has made a real difference in my life! It really stops the urine smell, I was skeptical at first, but, it does really work. !!! highly recommend!!!!

This review is for the "Litter Pellet Refill" pack of 6 x 3.5lb. This is the most economical packaging for the Breeze pellet refill I could find anywhere. I have two large cats sharing one box, so I end up switching out all the pellets more frequently than once a month -- probably closer to every 2-3 weeks depending on how fastidious I am at picking out the pellets that visually look "well-used" (a pain, but it seems to extend the overall life of the batch, and it helps that my cats tend to pee in the same spots and I don't stir it up much). I don't do the pellet washing like some people have suggested, given the terrible drought where I live and my reluctance to using bleach. Yes, it's more expensive than the old clumping clay litter, or even other types of pellets that break down (pine, walnut shell), but the lack of dust and tracking compared to any of those alternatives... seriously can't be beat, especially given the various respiratory and allergy issues in my household. It does require vigilance otherwise poop might build up, but my boys are on a semi-raw diet and have nice firm poop every other day if that. The main challenge I've had is that the box is better suited to smaller cats than mine (one is has Maine coon in him, one is Bengal), so I've had to experiment with a few setups around the box to minimize and and catch any accidents. So far so good with my current setup.

I just wish I would've found this system sooner I bought the I robot cat litter box for $300 and it was good however this is much better for my situation now one of the best things is on Eco friendlyand I wash the pellets every month I have two sets I use a linen drawstring bag put the dirty pellets and it ,cleaned it for about 10-15 minutes ,then hanging on the line to dry and I have new pellets for the next month,my cat took to it the very moment I took her cat litter box away she has no problem with it and it's super easy to clean pads last me a week to 10 days for one

We have tried most litter systems on the market for our three cats, including many self-scooping machines. Finally, in desperation we went back to just a plain pan and sand, and that soon reminded us of why we bought and tried out so many devices over the years. We are confined to a small space for the litter, need two pans, and our cats are all over ten years old. We were about to give up and live with the messes and smell when we spotted The Breeze Litter System by Tidy Cats on Amazon. We were tired of the search and skeptical of the unique Breeze system with its pads and pellets, wondering if the cats would even use it. We bought and set up two systems, the cats adapted immediately, and it has proved to be the very best we have ever used.

I hate kitty litter, but since my cat has become indoor cat, this is the beast option. It is easier to clean and maintain. For my one cat, I scoop daily, change the pad once a week. I use half a bag of pellets and change out every two weeks. I had been using the whole bag and changing once a month, but realize the cat is fine with half a bag and smell is better controlled with changing every two weeks. Not every store has the pellets, and generally store prices are higher than this.

I have four cats and loved this product until price doubled in cost. Will seek other alternative because of price increase. Having 3 litter boxes will require a part time job to maintain the litter box with the recent pricing increase.

I switched to these out of desperation. I have a tiny house and the litter box sadly is in an open room. Despite trying fancy mats litter was constantly everywhere in the room. It also smelled really bad of urine even though I cleaned it twice a day. with this product,, my cat pitches a few pellets out but I can just pick them up and throw them back in. And there is NO urine smell. With one cat I was changing the pad about every two weeks (fill that sucker up) and the litter went over a month before it started to smell musty.The one issue with the litter is the poop smell, when the cat goes it smellsPretty bag without regular littler to immediately cover It up. The smell disallows as the pellets dry the poo out though. I also clean this as soon as oDiscover poops but not having to scoop pee clumps is a huge time saver.

This has saved us a lot of cat litter to buy for our 2 cats. I really don't think it's as sanitary as it says it is because once you've seen how the cats can poop and pee on these little beads, you always wonder if they have some on their feet. However, it is a money saver, if you don't care about finding little poop nuggets on your pillow case after they poop.

My only complaint about the Breeze system is that there isn't a great way to handle "loose" solids. Where a normal, clumping litter would attach itself to the entire mess, the pellets just kind of get "wet" with waste, but don't stick together. This is important because the scoop will only grab clumps of pellets or a piece of excrement. "Dirty" individual pellets slide through the slots in the scoop, and remain in the box. This, and the fact that even solid solids aren't truly covered when the cat finishes, makes the system smell like poop whenever it's used and until it's completely cleaned. After the wet mess dries, the smell tapers off, but it's understandably unpleasant until that happens. If they come up with a way to either neutralize the smell by using different pellets, or a way to more effectively remove dirty pellets, this will get 5 stars. For now, we're just experimenting with different odor masks/eaters.

I reeeeeally like these. They are spendy but better than normal cat litter. I really wish they made the littler box in castle format because the cat still kicks out the pellets. But my cat prefers this and rarely goes in the regular cat litter now.************as an update for June 9th 2015 the price has gone up another $15 and I can't get it on subscription so I'm starting to get a little worried with the hefty increase that keeps being applied to this product. Every time I order it, it goes up in price, significantly. It's making me consider just taking it away from my cat and making him use walnut cat litter. I'm knocking it down one star because of the excessive cost

I love that my cat can't track this all around, but she does not like to poop on it. I think it's because she can't bury it like with the clumping litter grains. Also you have to search through to find the little pellets that got any poop on them. I saw where some people actually wash them off and reuse. I tried it and it grossed me out, plus doesnt take care of the poop problem. My cat only pees on the very edges, so the middle of the pad is never used. I turn it mid-week and then change it out on the weekends. I never smell an odor from it and she pees a ton. We have two boxes, but the other os for the granual litter.

I have a love/hate relarionship with the Breeze cat litter system. Under normal circumstances it is much easier to dispose of waste than a traditional scooping litter. However it does nothing to mask the odor of the poop. And if you have a cat with loose bowels then you really have to throw all the pellets away because they all get soiled. I would like to see the pee pad be more absorbant. I have 11 cats and the pee pad fills up every other day. I have only one breeze in the house since I find helpful to have a variety of litter systems in the house. I have a diabetic cat that pees a lot and has the loose poop so the Breeze litter system doesnt do an effective job with his waste. If you dont change the pee pad timely enough you will get a tray full of urine that leaks timely. As many times as I have to change the pee pads and the pellets, the breeze system can get costly. And the pellets and pads are not in as many stores as traditional litter. I go back and forth as to whether I like the system. I think it would be an excellent system in a fewer cat household

This might be a good system for other people but my cats are not liking it at all. I have 2 cats and bought 2 boxes. I'm so disappointed. I've given it 6 weeks but they are pooping all over the place. I dont have a laundry room where i live so unfortunately their box is in the spare room. They are totally ruining the carpet in there. I love that I'm not hauling kitty litter in nor do I have it all over my house anymore but my cats just aren't taking to it. So off I go to buy kitty litter. Yuk!

While I was using the breeze system I thought it was great. A little pricey, but paying a little more to have no litter tracked everywhere didn't bother me.However, after using these for a few months I got concerned about these pellets being biodegradable (they're not) and was soon thereafter educated about most cat litter not being biodegradable and the cons of strip mining.If you're not worried about those things (but you should be!) these pellets are fine.

This system is okay, but far from the end all be all. The pellets track less than other litter box solutions, but, you will still find these pellets in places you would rather not. The odor control is inferior to the silicon crystals. You essentially have to empty solid waste immediately. Urine smell is controlled for about 2/3 as long as advertised. It's a decent product, but, is a little high priced for not being a perfect solution. Also, beware, that amazon will ship this in a giant box with anything else you buy. That could be catastrophic to anything else in that package. They pellets are fairly heavy. Anything plastic (CD Case for example) has little chance of arriving without damage.

The pellets work great at not absorbing any urine and they do keep my box from getting too smelly, however if your kitty ever has less than firm stool it makes quite a mess and is difficult to scoop out of the box as the pellets end up getting a good bit of poop all over them and it's pretty tough to get them all scooped out. They'll work well if your cat never gets the runs. Also, the pads are very absorbent and I never smelled any urine smell from the box but the pads are pricey and I had to change them every few days for my 2 kittens.

Over three weeks of her using the old litter and the new Breeze being right there beside her I could stand it any more. There wasn't any place left for her to use the litter, but she has refused to use the Breeze. The other cat likes it to pee but not poop.

I couldn't believe how disappointed I was when I went to repurchase this product. I transitioned my cat to this system a year ago and threw out his old litter box - I was really pleased with the product! I thought my litter days were over. But now the price on the replacement pellets has DOUBLED from $45 for a 4-pack to over $80 for a 4-pack. It will cost $20/month for the pellets alone. I just can't afford it. I made a calculated decision when I bought the system based on the monthly cost of maintaining it, and it feels like I got screwed.

Decided against this product. Tried multiple different bags and it still stunk. The smell of the poop seemed to stick on the pellets even after the poop was removed and there was a constant odor in the bathroom.

I ordered the cat litter pellets that come in 6 individual bags but I received one big bag of the pellets that is very difficult to handle. The pellets are great but the bag they come in now stinks.

Odor problem! Hard to clean. I originally bought the "Breeze" cat litter system in 2013. Though the product would be easy to use. Eventually realized how hard it was to clean once a month(recommended by manufacture)plastic pans absorbed odor! The pellets stick in the slots! Had to use a Q-Tips to get the pellets out of the slots. The pellets stayed wet and contributed to urine odor problem! I would not recommend the "Breeze" cat litter system. I had to change the pads every 3-4 days due to odor! I have 2 cats and had 2 Breeze pans. I have returned to a regular cat litter, I now use "Swheat" clumping cat litter in 2 large pans. Works great, no more odor!

I was looking for a litter that wouldn't track all over the hardwood floors, preferably a low-dust one. Theoretically, this is ideal. But one of our three cats refused to use it, and that's not an argument I will ever win. So I give it 5 stars, two cats give it 3, and one gives it no stars at all.I suspect the problem is the size and/or feel of the pellets. Cats instinctively look for a sand-like substance that is easy to dig up, cover and will do a good job of masking the scent of their feces. These large pellets have too many air pockets to accomplish that, and I suspect they may also be uncomfortable to walk on. If Tidy Cats made a smaller-sized pellet (similar to polished pebbles), I think more cats would adapt to it and fewer owners would complain about the smell.

Seem to attract my dogs they wanted to eat it more definitely will not buy again

I don't know what the good reviews are for. This product does a terrible job removing odor. The entire house smelled until I changed to a different product.

I love this system and if your cats are on a raw diet, this is the easiest and cleanest litter box choice. However, I'm giving this one star currently because I ordered this late Dec 21, 2016 and paid $45.99. I see the price has increased 18% to $54.38.

I bought this product on Dec 30, 2016 for $45.99. On Feb 10, 2017, it's selling for $64.99. Even though I love this system, this is a ridiculous price hike, 50% in a little over a month, and I cannot recommend this product. I think that I'm going to try pinto beans as one reviewer suggested.

I am surprised to see all these five stars. Maybe these are brand new users who don't know any better? I have used this system for several years and the cost had been manageable. It is now no longer worth the cost since the pads are thinner and the pellets are twice as much for no reason. I used to pay $33 for 6 bags, now they are $60. What a scam.Moving on to something else and suggest everyone does too.

I don't like this system at all. I got it because the breeder I got my kitten recommended it. Poor odor control, even though I change the pads 3 -4 times a week and remove feces immediately. The feces just sit on top and it also smears. I realized how bad it was when I got a disposable pan and litter when I was traveling, so much better! Odor control much better and much cleaner. I am now trying the naturally fresh. Anything would be better than the Breeze
