Fresh News Original Pellet Non-Clumping Paper Cat Litter, 25 Pound

These paper pellets work great! They’re low dust, absorb well, and don’t track all over the house like regular litter. Perfect for my kitten annd pet rats. Very easy to clean up. I’m happy with it

I must admit, I am a (reformed?) dog person. I’ve lived with cats before and always hated the feel of sandy litter on the floor. So when we took in a stray 4 week old kitten that I feel in love with, I dreaded a life of feeling like I lived on a beach. This style of litter was recommended to start training our kitten once she could potty in her own and a second cat and a year later I’m still happy with it the stuff. Our cats do kick it out sometimes (all the time) but it’s so nice that they don’t track it around, any that’s on the floor I just sweep up and drop back in the box. I would say we use more of this stuff than traditional cat litter but the trade off is worth it to me. There’s no dust, it doesn’t really clump but I poke around in the box like an archaeologist and it’s easy to scoop out. We recently switched to the multi cat scented formula and I’m not sure how much it helps with the smell as the original style was adequate and only one of our cats bury but it does make the box smell better during cleaning. As long as they keep making this stuff we’ll keep using it.

Tl;dr perfect for one cat home. No tracking! Everyone's situation and set up with their cats is a little bit different, but for my house and pet, this litter is perfect! I have one petite cat (6lbs) that lives in my small urban apartment with us. Our cat box is in our dining room in a cabinet designed to hide the box. The box is right in our faces (and noses) so we scoop it pretty much immediately after she goes poop. For our set up, having a low tracking litter was really important. I had previously tried the Tidy Cat breeze system because of a recommendation from a friend who said it didn't track at all, but I hated that fussy set up and the poopy pellets that got smeared and left behind after scooping really grossed me out. I was hesitant to try another pellet litter after that, but the clay i had switched to was getting all over our house. I tried Fresh News begrudgingly, but have been so pleasantly surprised. My biggest barrier to trying this litter was the fear that the pellets would get smushy and soggy after being peed on, but that hasn't been the case at all since we keep the box so clean. I think if you let the cat pee on this litter and then left it for two days, then yes, it would get soggy. But every time I scoop it i also mix the pellets around so that no wetness accumulates in the corners. I really like that this litter is environmently friendly, inexpensive, non tracking, unscented, no dust, and doesn't get stuck in my cats nails or paws. This is perfect for us! I'm really glad I gave it a try.

I am not sure where bad reviews come from. This is NON-CLUMPING litter, it is not intended to be scooped out. You need to change it partially or all. We used clay before for years, and I had to switch not to paper because of our cat's paw trauma. It was supposed to be a temporary change, but I LOVE IT. Yes it does require to scoop it out and clean the box (I just use spray and paper towel on our stainless steel litter box), but it DOES NOT SMELL. That was a complete surprise to me. NO SMELL. I don't know how that absorbs so well, but with just 1 (temporary) box for 2 cats I only had to scoop out the poop ones. I can tell that they pee in there based on darker spots, but there is no smell, not even comping to regular changing clay litter, and NO dust, that is a lifesaver for me. I am allergic to dust, so cleaning after cats is a really big deal to me. The ONLY real problem is... PRICE. I could last for a month on 1 box of Petco clay litter - same I've spent on the pack of that litter that may last for about... 1.5 weeks top. That is a HUGE concern. Thus, only 4 starts. But I do recommend it, and I am pleasantly surprised by the product.

The other reviewers are correct, you have to scoop up the pellets right away, or they will get very soggy. But this is a good option for picky cats, who do not like the standard cat litter. Even though the bag says the pellets are unscented, there is a mild smell to them.

Our 7 yr old Siamese has a rash on his belly and regular fresh step litter sticks to it and gets into the creases and causes issues, since it sticks to his belly it ends up all over the house so I opted to try this and so far it’s been a game changer, it still sticks a little but it’s nothing like regular litter and if it sticks it’s easier to pick up around the house. The only thing is it’s hard to tell what is used and when to clean the little box so I just have to pick and choose what l think is used but it’s still better than the alternative right now. I get the 12lb bags, easy to handle and not heavy, no dust involved.

Not a problem with the product. Exactly as advertised....my cats have just made it clear they prefer their clay litter and do not like pellets.

I have 2 cats a kitty and adult cat. Just started using this when my kitty was spayed 3 months back and have been using it ever since. This is my first alternative to regular cat litter so I may try other options. Also noticed their paws are super clean since using this litter. This does NOT hold urine smell for long or the poop smell. It DOES absorb the urine very well, no seeping to the bottom at all. I scoop out more often approx. 3x a week and change it more often. I definitely feel like I’m spending more money than I did for regular cat litter. However, I am loving how easy it is to clean as well as scoop out. I change completely once a week and it takes literally 7 minutes. After working 9-5 during the week, cleaning and changing the box has been an easy dream. I literally used to plan for it like a chore. There is nothing stuck on the bottom and surprisingly the box is completely clean when I dump it all out. I have not had to drag it out to clean stuck on litter from the bottom. No tracking other than a pebble now and then. Mopping the floor in the area is fantastic now because there is no litter sand stuck or tracked down the hall. Being that I like this alternative and there were not many alternatives years ago, I may keep looking for something better regarding absorbing smell and more affordable. I purchase the big bag about every two weeks, where regular litter for this size would last a month. The easy clean up and clean paws is mostly why I won’t go back to regular litter.

Arena tipo pellet de papel reciclado, no de madera ni de otro material, y sin aroma. Justo lo que buscaba, aunque el precio me parece un poco elevado.

ファンシーラットのトイレ砂として使っています。通常の床材より尿を吸ってくれるので、汚れ物を捨てる時もトイレ容器に貼り付かず使いやすいです。 1年以上使っている中で先日初めて不備があったのですが、連絡したら連休中にも関わらず迅速に誠実な対応をしていただけました。今後もこちらで購入しようと思います。

Currently using it to potty train a tiny kitten Absorbs smells better than I expected. Kitten loves it

匂いも気になりません。粒も大きく使いやすいです

I’ve been using the Fresh News Post Consumer Paper Pellet Cat Litter for a while now, and I’m mostly satisfied with it. First off, there’s no tracking at all, which is a huge plus. My floors have never been cleaner since switching to this litter. Also, there’s practically no smell, which is a blessing, especially in a smaller apartment. My cat took to it right away and seems to like it, which is always the most important thing. The pellets are soft enough for her paws, and she doesn’t seem to mind the change from our previous litter. However, I did notice one downside. Because this litter is organic, it seems to attract flies more easily, especially if there are already some in the area. I’ve had a few instances where flies decided to breed in the litter box, which wasn’t an issue with other types of litter I’ve used. It’s something to keep in mind if you live in a place where flies might be a problem. Overall, I’m happy with this product and would recommend it, just be aware of the potential for flies if that’s something you might have to deal with.
