What's the texture like on this product? My cat won't use the chunk-style crystal. I need the finer textured litter, but I don't want to pay for the premium brand made for senior cats...

You can actually find some good info in this regard at the Just the Crystals website. These aren't the superfine (nearly sand-like quality) you'll get in with the Mimi Crystals from Walmart, but are slightly larger grain. We've found that there's a balance between size and texture in terms of best absorbency and what works (as in most people's experience with the cheaper, very chunky brands). Absorbency is also measurable -- and these have the highest ml/g absorbency ration available (hence why they are "premium" branded). Most of this info can be found at my website, but please don't hesitate to contact me directly via the contact info there if I can personally answer any questions -- always here to help! Rick

Better than others I have tried, but I just purchased a bag of Ultra Micro Crystals which are the finest I have come across so far, but I haven't actually used them yet. They were fairly reasonable at Wag.

I have an automatic kitty litter box and use the crystals. I use the crystals that they recommend, and they are fairly small. I have bought others and they are a lot chunkier and did not work as well. My cat has no problems with the crystals .

If it is Cat's Pride, then jump on it and buy more than one. I buy mine online at Pet food direct and the best price I can get is 11.99. This is great litter. I can get it fragrance free and my cats love it. It's practically dust free, too.

Considering that you would have to mine for the clay used in cat litter and the dust of the clay can be harmful to cats, I would think overall that the corn litter is a better choice.I agree about the questionable nature of using foodstuffs for litter, but I don't think the other alternative litter materials are flushable and clump as effectively. I just hope the process is sustainable and doesn't squander the corn that could be otherwise used for food.

I don't like it, either, but the latest pills are a bit softer and I can break them in half with my hand. Also, if you crush them in water they love it! I add water and the powder to their food dish as a way to increase their water intake. Great for UT problems and older kitties with renal issues.

I use this litter and added a litter catcher mat in front of the litter box. The cats tend to drop all the crystals in there when they hop out of the box ( I have a cover on it).

It's a pretty small grain, but I wouldn't call it soft (compared to a wheat litter, for example). This litter definitely works with attracting the cat to use the box correctly though, so that might overcome the soft problem. It does get expensive pretty quickly if you use the Cat Attract only. When we had a problem cat we used this litter exclusively for about 2 months, then started cutting it with Dr. Elsley's blue bag litter to save some money. After 4 months or so we started cutting more of the blue bag litter and less of the cat attract litter, and finally last month we started only on the blue bag litter with no problems to date *cross fingers and toes*. Hope this helps!

My sister also has the same box. It gets the clumps, but tiny pieces get left behind and you have to change the litter often (depending on the cat). Which is still better than cleaning the whole box daily! Love it!

I'm not familiar with that brand of cat litter but just a couple lessons I've learned with my unit: Clumping type litter is a must and making sure you keep enough fresh litter in the unit is important and the type of food your cat eats can also make a big difference. Mine only eat dry kibble (Science Diet mostly) and I only have to change mine 1-2 times per week max. If you're doing these things and if your cat is covering properly, I'd say your unit is defective. Hope this helps!

Nope, crystal litter isn't better. It irritates lungs, needs frequent steering and get saturated and starts to smell in 2 days. Yes, I did try this brand of crystals. It's no different from others.

I used fresh step for years; I thought it was the best before I tried Precious Cat. Airborne dust is one of the reasons I switched; I find Precious cat to have almost no dust at all. I love it!

We either use Just the Crystals (available on Amazon), or FreshStep. We don't have any special "bulk" supplier, as for the litter we are just consumers like you.

If you are referring to the Fresh Step Scoopable, Precious Cat I find superior as there are no additives that can be harmful to our little ones. If you are referring to the clay Fresh Step, no comparison. Previous Cat says it is 99% dust free and I believe it! Having used Fresh Step clay for years and not liking the Fresh Step Scoopabe for the additives and the aroma, and going thru several brands of scoopable, we are very pleased with Precious Cat. We tried the light scoopables made with corn, wheat, etc., but, they tracked it all over the place( it does not clump well at all either ). I would recommend you try it, having cats in our lives for over 40 years, this litter is greatly appreciated.

Greetings, for those that have Cat's/Kittens with an insatiable desire to eat the Mossy substance may I suggest some sort of decorative River Stones, Zen Stones, Florist Glass Vase Pebbles? This may prove to be less interesting to them. Just a thought.

Really?? Hmmm... Your cat must have a very cultured palate. He evidently only eats aged cat food.Seriously, I have no idea why this might be. We have been using this cat food exclusively for a year now and the change in our cats has been absolutely astounding. We have a black cat that used to be sort of gray with harsh feeling fur and seemed skinny. Now he's sleek and solid looking with shiny black fur. But I have no idea why a bag with one date should be different from another one. I haven't seen anything like that.

I personally see no difference except for the color of the litter and the price; clumping is the same. The Multi cat litter is a bit darker in color. You can call Kent Nutrition Group at 877-367-9225. There is a suggestion of "plant additives" on their website, but I believe this is for the newer versions, which contain wood fiber....ICK! Do you want your cats to ingest wood fibers when they clean their feet after using the litter box? https://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/contact-us/thanks.php

No kidding!! EVERY brand is the same shape, same hardness. I swear they are all made by the same company and just resold under different packaging, so don't bother trying to get a different brand. I tried cutting them up and mixing them into wet food (to which I always add a little water anyway). My thought is that they would soften and take on the smell/taste of the wet food I know they like. It seemed to work OK (just OK), but I couldn't tell if BOTH of my cats were getting dosed and by how much. I finally just switched to a powder form that should mix evenly with a wet food, which I can better monitor. No kidding!! EVERY brand is the same shape, same hardness.

I've used a variety of crystal litters without problem. Still trying to decide which litter I like best :)
