Sophie is a rescue. She was 8 months old when I brought her home 2 years ago with a “starter” litter pan and litter that was given to me. She was slowly recovering, but greatly weakened, from near starvation and trauma. She seemed to have difficulty pawing through the litter and covering her waste. I thought this might be because of the trauma she experienced or, perhaps, she was not taught proper litter-box usage as a young kitten. A family member wondered if the problem might be the litter pan and/or litter. I was willing to try anything. I purchased the largest litter pan I could and filled it with the lightest litter I could find, Tidy Cats Lightweight. I was amazed to see how much easier Sophie could paw through the litter! Right away she began attempting to cover her waste up. I worked with her as she got stronger and, over time, her litter box “etiquette” improved. In addition, this litter has other fine qualities such as appreciable odor control, great absorbency and fantastic clumping. I consider Tidy Cat Lightweight to be a superior litter. Finally, because I have my own physical strength limitations, I am appreciative to be able to purchase a litter that doesn’t require my asking someone to carry the litter jugs for me. My issues aside, however, I will always be grateful there was a litter that made such a noticeable difference to my beloved Sophie. We like it. We really like it.

I had high hopes for this new lightweight litter, especially when I saw how dust free it was supposed to be.  Loved the lightweight, and the scent while a bit overpowering is pleasant enough.  The clumping is great and I had no issues with excess litter being dragged around (at least not more so than any other litter).  The deal breaker for me is that the litter is not dust free at all.  In fact it creates more dust than any other litter I have used.  Interestingly enough, when you pour it out of the container it makes no dust.  When my cat walks on it or I scoop it out, there is a ton of dust.  It seems like once those little lightweight granulars are crushed or broken, they just turn to dust.  The entire bathroom where I keep the litter is covered with dust, and my long hair cat smells like the litter all the time because no doubt she is also covered in dust.  So back to square one in the quest to find the perfect litter.   

I received the sample in the mail from Tidy and used it last week when I changed the litter.  It is a little dustier than I expected, but that is not a big deal for me.  Just for health in general, I use a dust mask when scooping the litter. It works just as well as the Tidy blue-top bucket that I used to buy, and the newer Tidy with Glade that I use now.  The odor control is just as good, and it clumps just as tight.   The best part about it is the fact that my disabled mom, who normally scoops the litter for me during the week while I am working, does not have to struggle nearly as much.  The clumps with the normal stuff are hard and heavy for her when stuck on the walls of the litter box, but she is really happy with the lightweight litter, and she does not have to struggle nearly as much. As soon as this stuff hits the stores, I'm switching to it! Also, I really like the Glade scent, so this with the Glade scent would be awesome too!  As a side note, I have no problem carrying the heavy 38lb buckets that I buy, but I know that older people who have cats as companions are going to love this stuff and how lightweight it is!! 

I have used your products for 40 years, but I have an issues with this product and yours in general with the amount of tracking it does all over the house. My mother has used another product and said that was not an iusse, so I am going to have to try Special Kitty for that reason, I am tried of litter everywhere

I truely do think this is the best cat liter I've ever used - but, I have 2 cats - 1 a diabetic. I'm 85 years old and can't aford it so i will go back to what I'ver been using. Too bad, because it is so loteweight and easy for me to handle. Maybe some day they will reduce the price. Hope so, cause I really do like it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tidy cats is the best litter we've used. We have multiple cats in our home but this litter keeps the odor at bay. It clumps well too making it easy to scoop and use the litter longer. Love the lightweight formula also as I have a bad back and bags of litter can be taxing on my body. All around great product in my opinion.

I have bad arthritis and this lighter weight makes a difference for me. I can carry this container much easier than other brands. I have two female cats and they like this litter. There was no issue when I changed and the formula works well for two cats.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this cat litter for several years. All other litter brands pale in comparison. It’s easier to carry this larger size because it’s weight is not so straining on my back. It does just as good as the heavier variety. My cats don’t seem to mind. I think they love this brand better compared to other brands. It lasts longer then other brands as well. I would definitely buy this cat litter. I would definitely recommend it

I have always used meijer brand scooping cat litter. Recently one of my cats started sneezing when using the litter box and was very quick to get in and get out. I was concerned that she was developing allergies or asthma to the cat litter dust. I tried this lightweight product because advertises 99.9% dust free. It is MORE dusty than the cheap meijer stuff. I found it difficult for myself to even scoop the box as I could feel myself breathing all the dust. Dust makes a mess in the utility room and more importantly, cats did not like it. Switched to Nature's Miracle Natural Care Odor Control Clumping Cat Litter, it is made of wheat and has very little dust, no artificial smells (which is good, cats are sensitive to fragrances) and I am very happy with that product. I filed for a refund for the Tidy Cat lightweight product.

I bought this just to see what its all about .I really like the lightweight but its so dusty wheather your scooping out the litter or adding fresh there to much dust .I wish it really was 99% dust free as it says. Also the price is to much it should cost the same as the rest.
