Boxiecat Self-Cleaning Probiotic Clumping Clay Cat & Kitty Litter, 28-lb bag

When I read that there were probiotics in this litter that would help keep bacteria and odor down for up to 30 days I swirled my eyes and thought to myself, “what will they come up with next to market something as simple as kitty litter?” I don’t know why I decided to try it because I am the type that sticks to what works and doesn’t fall for hype but I did and boy am I ever glad I did! I’m getting close to day 30 (still doing daily scooping and adding new litter to top off) and it still smells as fresh as day 1. In case I was nose-blind I’ve asked several friends and family to go near the kitty box and take an honest sniff test and they all report zero odor. In fact a few have confessed that my house smells better. Just between you and me I am tempted to break every rule in the book and see how long I can go with the current scoop & replace method. I know, I’m cheap and a bad cat mom but this stuff is better than anything I’ve ever used before and it truly doesn’t stink. We will see what I decide when I reach the 30 day mark. Even if I do decide to toss it and restart then I’ve still saved a bundle of money and back-breaking labor not having to do weekly or bi-weekly full box changes. Get some, it’s GREAT!

It clumps way tighter and quicker than anything else I’ve tried. I really do end up using less so the price sort of offsets itself and the ease of scooping makes it worth it. I used to buy two 20 lb jugs of tidy cat a month but can get by on a single 28lb bag of this without issues. It does track, but I care more about smell and clumping/ease of scooping so it’s not a big deal. I vacuum every day anyways and a good litter mat (I use a shaggy bath mat) helps tremendously. The cats also prefer it over tidy cat. I have two boxes and when I switched I just cleared out and replaced one and they refused to use the other one with Tidy Cat until I caved and got a second bag of Boxie.

I have had multiple cats for over 25 years and one of the biggest challenges I have is finding a great cat litter. I tried Boxiepro and here are the pros and cons as I see it. The cats gravitated to the new litter and used it more than the other litter, so I am assuming that they approved of it. I approved of it due to the clumping power. The urine clumps were very hard and did not break apart when scooping. Another thing I appreciated was that there was not much of an odor from the box after 1 1/2 weeks. And, the dust while scooping and pouring was minimal which is a big plus with multiple boxes in the house. The only con for me is the packaging. The instructions are to cut the edge of the plastic bag and pour, then reseal with the sticker on the bag. The sticker didn't really seal the bag and was kind of a pain to use, so putting the litter in a plastic bin with a lid solved the problem.

I’ve been using this litter for about 6 bags now, and the last 2 have been very different. The bag is thinner and there is no longer a handle, which makes carrying it more difficult. The clay is also a lot finer. Now my cats are leaving little white paw prints outside of the litter box and on my floor. I would rather sweep up grains of litter than have to mop the floor. Don’t think I can stick with this litter any longer unless this is temporary.
