Boxie Extra Strength Cat Litter, Lightweight 35-Day Odor Control, Clumping, 11.5lb

If I could marry this litter I would! I have tried EVERYTHING. Name it I’ve done it. Litter box types, litter types, cleaners, etc. I have a male cat with behavioral peeing issues. He won’t use a box even if he finds his own last pee and poop in the box from less than an hour prior, it has to be fresh to his kitty nose or he pees on the floor. Luckily I trained that easily to be on pee pads next to the box not the actual floor. I have a self cleaning box that rotates once every hour. No matter what clumping litter I used if I didn’t take the whole box apart, which isn’t easy, every other day and dump half the litter out and add atleast half new, if not all, then he pees on floor bc he can smell the loose dirty litter pieces that crumble off the clumps or those tiny pieces of feces that never scoop. I switched to this new boxie cat pro Air. I had heard of boxie cat before with their pancaking urine litter and that won’t work in my self cleaning box bc it’s too big when pancaked. I found this new Air version that clumps like normal and was very intrigued to finally get to try it. First 2 weeks: I literally could have cried when I realized it had been 2 weeks and my male cat hadn’t peed once outside the box with me only cleaning the box and swapping the full litter out for new on garbage nights once a week. I empty the compartment that collects the pee and poop clumps every other day but otherwise I stopped having to clean the actual box as well every other day. Seriously I could spend an hour telling anyone why this litter is the greatest creation of all time but I’ll make a pro and con list to simplify. Pro List: -no smell! NOTHING not even that clean litter smell once the initial new dump of litter is settled after about 10min I forget I have a litter box and it’s in the main hallway bathroom I walk by 20+ times a day. My houseguests used to be able to tell me that could smell even just the existence of a litter box even when fresh new litter was in. I switched to boxie cat air and my friends asked if I got rid of my cats. They couldn’t believe the litter was there. They stood in the bathroom next to it asking why they couldn’t smell it. -probiotic/anticbacterial litter. I use to be able to smell urine on my cats feet after they had freshly peed. It’s gone. They have clean litter feet. -tracking is down to the occasional couple pieces once past the rug next to the litter. Even with my female cat who is the queen of tracking litter in her paws. Literally use to have to daily vacuum from guest bath to the kitchen and then wiped down coffee table, couches and kitchen table bc I could see where she’d been by the litter trail. It’s gone! There’s only some litter on the rug from her usual dramatic exits of how hard she can jump from box to floor like a madwoman and by some I mean I use to vacuum the bathroom daily so people weren’t walking on litter. I can wait til my weekly full cleaning and it’s all on the little litter rug. -idk what it is about it but this is the first litter my female cat stopped playing with. She used to dig a until a little Mountain was outside the litter box and it drove me insane. She quit on day 1 of new litter and has never done it again. It’s been about 4 months now I believe. -unlike other litters this 1 tiny 6.5lb bag lasts me a whole month. I use only 1/4 of the bag each time I swap litter once a week. I fill below the recommended inches and still no smell. I definitely thought it wouldn’t be enough and am amazed it is. Old litters I could get a giant 20lb or bigger container and use it in a month trying to stop odors by adding in new. -my biggest personal pro is this stopped by male cats behavioral peeing. He will not use a “dirty box” and I mean he could go pee and come back before the hour is up for the self clean cycle to be done and he won’t pee bc his old pee is still there. Not anymore! He doesn’t care is the other cats poop is still there. He cannot smell it bc the litter is that good!!! Cons: -initially my con was the cost. $20 for 6.5lbs seemed so expensive and to go up a size made it about $40 I was worried I’d like the litter and spend so much a month to use it. Nope! Boxie cat air proved me wrong. -maybe different results if you don’t have self scooping box or scoop daily. My results are skewed by not actually scooping the litter myself. -I can’t marry it I wish I could come up with more cons to seem like I’m not biased but I am. This litter is magic. It saved my sanity. Probably saved my relationship bc he is not a cat lover and the floor peeing was crossing a line of comfort to live with. Also want to note my cats are both out of the norm and I can ignore instructions to transition food and litter. They love new things and literally wait for me to move from cleaning the litter to jump in an fresh box. I did not transition to this litter. I had 1 day results bc neither of them care what I put in the box. So those with pickier cats may have a longer and more drawn out transition then I experienced.

This litter is absolutely wonderful. My most stubborn cat took to it right away and now he prefers it over crystals. I was using World’s Best, but this litter was recommended based on the non-mess. Now, my cats do dig, so it does get outside the litter box, but easy clean up with sweeping or a vacuum. I haven’t experienced the smell of kitty piddle in quite some time which is a feat since I have four carnivorous cuties. The smell of poo can linger depending of if your cat buries or if they just dropped a particularly nasty one, but no longer than 10 minutes max. And, no dust. You just pour, and no dust arises to choke you. So nice. It also LASTS. Four cats and I only need to change the litter once every three weeks or so in the most used litter box. That’s amazing to me since I was previously using Pretty Litter and it didn’t last 3 days even with me cleaning it every day. Yes, it does stick to the sides of litter boxes, but that depends on the material of the litter box. In my self-cleaning one, it’s made of silicone, so the litter does not stick. However, I’d rather have the litter stick to the sides than outside the litter box. And if you break up the sticking a bit, toss some litter on there, and then scrape it up, it comes up fine. Another bonus, when I change out the litter and I rinse the litter box, this litter comes off so easily; to the point, where I don’t need to use a detergent if I’m in a hurry. As for the cats trying to eat the litter…haven’t experienced that at all.

I’ve had cats for 30 years, this is by far the worst litter I’ve ever used. I have a very large cat box with deep sides for my 2 cats. I scoop the box every day. This litter gets gummed up on the bottom where my cats urinate and it makes it incredibly challenging to scoop. It takes me twice as long to scoop than using the BoxiePro clay litter. This litter also does not do well with odor control, it gets very strong after one day. Amazon substituted this litter once when my normal litter was out of stock, never again. The only positive is the fact that it is lightweight as far as litters go. I will be going back to the BoxiePro clay from here on out. I can’t say enough good things about the BoxiePro CLAY litter.

This is honestly the best cat litter I have yet to use. It definitely lives up to all of its claims. It is almost completely dust free and has a clean, fresh scent (I purchased the gently scented). I have had cats my whole life and was a breeder for some time. This is the first time I have been completely happy with a product. I find most clay based clumping litters have almost a sour undertone/smell to them after the first use. No matter how my cat has “digested” his dinner, and even before cleaning, it just seems to absorb all the odour! In addition, the clumps are hard and don’t break up on you when you scoop them, leaving those tiny, smelly little chunks that always seem to sift through your scooper. It is just an added bonus that my boy no longer gets what we affectionately call stinky “litter paws”. While it does cost a little more, it is well worth it considering I can go twice as long without changing my litter totally. I also find it doesn’t seem to stick to the bottom of the pan and therefore I don’t have to wash and sanitize his box every full change either. While I don’t use one now, I have had the automated litter boxes in past, as well as the “roll and sift” boxes and this would be the perfect product to use with them. The bottom line is it is a fantastic product that is well worth the money. I will NEVER go back to the other brands.

I really wanted the pretty litter that changed colors but was very impressed with this. Being in Canada some of the cooler litters aren’t as accessible but I was happy to notice this is completely dustless, felt softer for my cat, it wasn’t as strongly scented as I like but I add powder.

The only issue is, it stays on her paws and carries it around the house. Not liking that.

This did not work well at all for us - while it is much lighter, it failed to clump as effectively as the original Boxiecat litter, tracked much further in the house (we found litter bits in our bed, two rooms away from our Litter Robot), and worst of all, it frequently turned into a sticky mush inside the Litter Robot, with way more clumped litter sticking to the drum of the Litter Robot. This made the smell much more apparent as the litter wasn't ending up in the litter tray below, and just became a very negative user experience in all aspects. We've had a very good run with Boxiecat's original clay litters and have already begun to switch back to the old Boxiecat litter before even one bag of the Air was done. While it may possibly work well in a traditional scooping litter situation, it is completely unusable (IMO) for our Litter Robot.

I wanted my cat to love this litter but its a pass for my cat. I have to switch back to the Boxie Pro clay litter so she can start using the litter box again :( My cat is 17 years old, she cannot squat to relieve herself anymore due to arthritis, so she stands to use the bathroom. This litter is very slow absorbing.. so whenever she pees? The urine pools ON TOP of the litter by her feet, so she leaves the litter box with urine soaked paws that has litter stuck all over it.. It's traumatizing for my cat to have to chase her to try and clean her paws off before she gets urine all over the furniture. This litter is extremely light weight, which is both a pro and a con... PROS: its lightweight, easy to carry. it does clump nicely when it finally absorbs CONS: since its so lightweight it tracks EVERYWHERE, and the barley does not absorb fast (they use barley in the "air" litter versus clay like the others)
