Super lightweight, slight smokey wood scent, good clumping, great odor control.
Update: odor control is amazing! Iâve been trying a few different wood based litter and this one by far out performs the rest. My housemates rarely even notice when my cat uses this litter. Keeping the litter box in my bedroom I have notice I will sleep through the use of this litter vs when other boxes are used.This is my new preferred litter!!These pellets are super lightweight, it was shocking, most wood pellets Iâve tried are quite heavy. Work great with cats who have trouble with the heavier wood pellets.I mix wood pellets for scent control with tofu pellets and I love how well these clump and hold together. These are a little dusty once they break down, but fine if scooped soon after clumping. Some reviews mention lack of odor control, but I found these to be better than other wood pellets Iâve tried. Mind you they donât work great if your cat doesnât bury their business.

Make sure you read carefully, unlike me
It is my fault for not reading carefully but I thought I was buying 14 lbs of pellets for this price. You can buy many other wood pellets of similar quality for a better value. It is only 3.4 lbs and the same quality of other wood pellets that again are much better value.I only got these to try and transition my kitten to the breeze litter system. He was using clay litter and not taking to the breeze. So right these pellets are a similar color and shape of the breeze pellets so maybe he’ll eventually start using the 4 other breeze systems he’s refusing to use.So point being, I won’t be buying these again. Not enough of a value to make it wortg it.They didn’t have a chemical smell, so that’s a positive. They aren’t good with odor control though. Kitten went this morning and could smell it two rooms away. Yes there’s no dust because it’s not clay. I can’t comment on cleaning yet. I’ll update review if it’s yucky.

Good and lightweight
Very lightweight. Would be very good option for travel. Zero smell too.

Not the best
I bought this as a test, after using tofu litter and being really pleased. First off, it is lightweight. Easy to manage for someone with RA. I thought the cypress smell was going to be a little stronger, so I was disappointed in that, and I was disappointed that it really did not clump well, at all. My cats didn’t mind it, but when they urinated, the pellets turned to muck. Not so easy to scoop and it stuck to the side of the pan. Also, it does track a lot more than tofu litters. Odor control was also not as effective.

Scatters all over but helps with odor
This really tracked all over my house but it did help with odor. Iâm now adding this into the pellet litter to help with odor control and not relying on it as the primary litter box filler

Out of all my mistakes in life this ONE WAS THE BEST ONE !
I ordered this litter by mistake and I was quite upset when I realized that this is not the type of the litter I usually use BUT OMG I LOVE IT !!!! Itâs light, clean, easy to maintain and keep the smell away ! My cat love it too !!!! I started using wood based litters because I could not stand that regular litter was EVERYWHERE no matter how clean I keep it. I promise you the way this litter clump pee is amazing. I was shocked when I cleaned for the first time and I promise you till they invent something else with the same quality Iâm using this for the rest of my life !

Hated by Cats
My cat had no issues with finding or going in the litter box before this switch, but now heâs since peed in pretty much every other room in the house – on beds, in plant pots, in laundry baskets. I mean, we could tell he hated this stuff from the start but thought weâd give it some time. Not worth it.The pellets are large and uncomfortable, they get stuck in his toes, so he kicks them everywhere.Worst of all clean up absolutely sucks. Itâs so frustrating trying to scoop disintegrating mush. Going back to Boxiecat.

Lightweight and natural smell
This was my first time trying a wood pellet as an alternative to clumping clay litter so be advised, a lot of my comments or observations may be related to wood pellets as a whole and not necessarily this specific brand or product. When the bag arrived it was smaller than I expected and extremely lightweight – I was skeptical that this would really be a 1 month supply. I wasn’t sure how my cat would take to it so I put about 1/3 of the bag over top of the clumping clay litter he is used to. He was cautious but didn’t give me any problems about the new litter and used his box normally. When it came time to clean it my biggest struggle was that my scooper was made to sift smaller sand-like clay so it was hard to pick up just the clumps and waste alone. I would suggest a scooper that has larger holes so you don’t wind up losing good pellets in this process. I was pleasantly surprised how well the pellets clumped the urine waste. Since switching fully over to this, I haven’t noticed any issues with bad smells, in fact I notice less of that “ammonia” smell that you get with clay litter. One other major positive is that since the pellets are larger it tracks less than clay litter. My cat has one of those drop-in boxes with a top lid that has a small opening so I try really hard to contain the mess and I think switching to this type of litter has helped tremendously. Although the bottom of the bag has some dust I would say overall it’s a lot less dusty than clay litter. I ordered a second bag of this and I’m looking for a new type of scooper. Probably my biggest pro is how lightweight it is and even taking out the waste/clumps that trash bag ends up being a lot less heavy as well. I am really impressed – I am still mulling over how long one bag really lasts since the cost is about double per package of my previous litter. So I may stick with this brand or I may explore other brands of wood pellet litter but all in all I am very pleased.
