ökocat Super Soft Wood Clumping Cat Litter, Unscented,14 pounds - Natural Ingredients, Stops Odor, Clumps Solid, 99% Dust Free, Great for All Cats, Sensitive Paws, Kittens

Really great replacement for clay litter. I noticed my cat sounding a little wheezy and coughing, so I figured it was an allergy. I started researching for better healthier alternatives and this is where I landed. I could not be happier. It has a nice sawdust woody smell, it clumps so much better and the best part is that is so much cleaner. My cat doesn’t track it everywhere and it just overall seems to be a better solution. It is heavy if you get the XL bag, I just kept one of the containers from a past litter purchase and poured it in there. I would say it’s worth its value in convenience. Less cleaning and more peace of mind that my girl is breathing better.

Super soft is the version of this litter my cats love, maybe even more than anything! 😱 At first I thought the smaller grain might make a mess, but it doesn't. I do use a litter mat, but this barely tracks anywhere (if you have a wild crazy cat who kicks everything out your results may vary, but I have no issues). It's not painful for them or me to step on if I do have to clean any stray litter up once in a while. They seem to like the feel and smell of it. It has pretty much zero smell. If anything, there might be a very very light natural smell, but not like other natural litters I've tried that reeked of woodchips or something. And that's just if you put your face right up to it and try to smell it. It has ZERO odor after my cats use it. My house never smells like cat pee. Guests say, "I didn't even know you had a cat!" We have two! And one is a giant! Now, we do still get some odors from our Himalayan because she doesn't always cover her poop because she is a princess and she can't be bothered. But, we recently adopted a Maine coon and he loves to dig, and even though he has his own litter box, he is a gentleman of culture and he goes and covers up our princess's leavings for her. He's just that kind of guy! As others said, wait 5-10 minutes or so after your cat pees to give this litter a chance to clump. It does clump super well! It's just not as instant as some litters. What I LOVE about it is that once it does clump, it leaves very little soiled litter behind (if any) so what remains in the litterbox stays clean smelling for up to a week or so. I scoop the litterboxes daily and try to change out the litter every 5-7 days because I never want my friends to have to step on anything yucky. This litter is high quality. There might be cheaper litters, but we feel the value for money ratio is excellent. We probably go through about a box every month with 2 big litterboxes for our beauty and her beast. With one cat it was about a box purchased every 1.5-2 months. With any litter, change it out completely if it ever smells bad, and try to do that sooner rather than later. This litter is a champ. Flushable? YES!!! It scoops well, but like others said, don't fill your toilet to the brim scooping all of the clumps in at once and expect them all to flush. I scoop 2-3 clumps in, then flush and I've only ever clogged the toilet by trying to flush way more than that. If you do accidentally scoop too much into the toilet at once, you can wait a few minutes and the clumps should start to dissolve enough to try clumping, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so just take the advice, partner! I'm just glad this does flush because I don't have a convenient dumpster near my condo to walk bags out to the trash daily. Maybe I will try a litter genie soon to save water, though. But, in the meantime, it's nice that this litter does flush and is natural and biodegradable. We have tried lots of litter brands in the past and this is by far the best one. There might be a couple of clay or crystal brands that clump faster, but this really has pretty much no dust and we like that we're not causing ourself or our cats to breath anything iffy. I used to like World's Best cat litter, but now I don't know what I was thinking because this is so much better. This litter is also just super clean. We never have anything sticking to the litterbox. It works. If you're debating what to get, I don't think you could be disappointed with this. And I use a scoop mostly, but I do also have a sifting litterbox I use from time to time and Super soft works with the sifter easily. A little extra tapping compared to clay maybe. Pros: • No smell (or light clean smell. No fragrance. No allergy triggers for me) • clumps well. Not the fastest clump, not the slowest. Leaves hardly any soiled litter behind. Hard round clumps without stragglers. • my himi and my maine coon both love it • soft for their feet, nice to dig • less mess. Doesn't stick to their fur much if at all. Easily caught by litter mat • works with scoop or sifter • no dust in the air • dries out poop well • flushable (within reason) • lasts a week before needing full change with daily scooping (my bf says 9 days, I prefer 5, 7 is totally fine) Cons: • Not the fastest clump, but from 0 clumping to 10 being the best mega clumping, I still give this a 9. It can't beat clays for speed, so if you scoop right after your cat pees, like instantly, you might get that one clump kind of falling apart if it is still moist, but usually not. It still clumps super well on a regular basis. Firm easily scooped clumps. • I would like it to be less expensive, but I would like everything to be less expensive. • that's it! I rarely leave reviews for cat litter, but I have purchased this litter over a dozen times and my bf has purchased it for us about 100 times, so it's definitely our favorite. Every now and then we test a new litter just to make sure we still have the best. We even set two boxes out for our cats to choose, and they keep choosing Okocat. Yay!

Update after 6 moths: Still really like this litter. Zero urine smell even with the box going 2 days & the cat pees several times a day (clumping litter is great for keeping tabs on that). Do you smell poops? Of course. No litter prevents that right after the cat poops. Are your poops odorless? No. But the litter dries the poops out quickly and there is no lingering poop smell. Yes, it tracks - a lot. Yes, it's very dusty but it's not the fine dust of clay. But still very dusty - just being honest. There's a film on everything near the box. The top entry box is a must with this litter & there is still lots of little particles outside the box, but again, it's physics. If you want a soft wood-based litter that clumps, you have to compromise on something. This clumps really well. Update after 3 months: Odor control: Really quite good. One cat household. Male. One litter box. Clumping: the secret seems to be you have to keep enough litter in the box. We had been using a regular litter pan & only putting about 1.5" of litter because the little devil would kick so much out while digging. And then the clumps would be pancakes stuck to the bottom that we'd have to scrape off. Switched to a top entry box where we can keep the litter deeper - about 4" - and now we get perfect spheres. And the clumps stay clumped. Dust: Have to amend this to say this litter is more than a little dusty. With the top entry box, you can now see the dust adhered to the inside of the box. We will try the larger particle Okocat next time (bigger particles than this soft paws stuff, smaller than pellets) as we've decided we like the clumping litter. Tracking: Light tiny bits of wood so yeah, it tracks. Short haired cat. Most stays close to the box, but if tracking is a deal breaker for you, probably try the other version of clumping Okocat or the pellets. Original Review: We have a 4 month old kitten that's been using traditional non-clumping clay as starter litter. HATE the fragrance. HATE the dust. God, the dust. So terrible for lungs. Ours & the cat's. And it's worse because this cat likes to get in the box and go nuts digging & moving the litter into mini-mountains. Just for fun. We tried pine pellets which we'd used with all our other cats in the past, but the little menace wanted to eat them. (I swear we did not pray for patience.) So we went looking for something that was similar in consistency to clay but wood. I'm sure the cat would eat corn or wheat litter so that was never even considered. PROS: Very little dust & what dust there is settles fast Super light - makes it easy to move the box & empty it Almost no scent at all & what scent there is is basically a faint fresh lumber smell Texture is very fine (see photos) so Mr. Picky Pants doesn't try to eat it or act like he's being asked to walk on hot coals So far, good odor control (urine & feces) even after 2 weeks CONS: Tracks like CRAZY (see photos) - cat's boxes are in the condo & most stays in there, though Clumps are not super strong - you have to be very gentle with the scooping Sometimes the clumps stick to the bottom of the pan & break up when trying to release them We put out one box of regular clay and one of this. We didn't mix them. I hate that. Over a week, he gradually moved to using the Okocat mostly. He's still using the clay some, but he's doing all his business in the Okocat to some degree. We'll take away the clay next week and see what happens. We are considering making our own top entry box from a rubbermaid container for him to see if that cuts down on the tracking (and because he'll probably start spray-peeing soon). I expected the tracking - you can't make something this fine & light & not expect it to track. Our cat is short haired. I can only imagine what a long haired cat would be like... What they need to work on is the clumping. I know from reading about the product, they say you should wait an hour before trying to scoop pee. But in my experience, if you wait too long (like overnight pee), the clumping gets weaker. maybe due to evaporation of the liquid. Dunno.

Love this cat litter so much I buy it for friends and family who have cats. The Soft Paw is the Best! The other ones don’t work as well. No smell dust . Clumps great. If you add a table spoon of baking soda it smoothers any flying bugs too. Multiple cats are no problem for this Soft Paw litter. No smell and long lasting. Cats Love it. Will never go back to store bought junk. Get the Big Bag it’s worth the money.

Best Cat Litter. It may seem expensive, but it lasts a long time. Very absorbent and does not stick to the bottom of the litter box or the scoop. Also keeps the smell down. Does not track badly. I’ve been buying this for over 5 years. Clumps very well. Is lightweight too. Definitely the best cat litter I have found.

Oko cat makes quality cat litter products. They are definitely miles ahead of the old-fashioned clay cat litter and even better than other companies’ crystal/silica products, in my opinion. I have used Oko cat products in a Pet Kit Pura Max automatic litter box as well as three other covered boxes. I have tried their original version, as well as this "Less Mess" variety and their super-soft product. The five cats I take care of seem to prefer the smaller size grains of Oko's Original and Super Soft. Specifically, one or more of our kittens leave their poop on top of the litter, rather than bury it completely. I believe this is because there is more work involved with digging in bigger and more coarse Less Mess granules. Switching to the Original and Super Soft varieties ended. It also helped a great deal with smell as the Oko does a great job of killing the smell when it covers the feces. Additionally, it made daily maintenance more productive as the urine clumped better in the two other varieties. The Less Mess did not clump very well in the Pet Kit Pura Max litterbox and clumps tended to fall apart during efforts to clean the boxes, leaving many tine parts behind that were too small to easily remove. In general, the Oko Cat products are excellent. These Oko Cat products are wood product based. I agree with their claims that the products stop odor, clump well to encapsulate urine and feces and are highly dust free. (The litter is also lightweight, biodegradable and won't attract bugs.) They do a really good job of keep odors down in the litterbox and home, in general. The products are very helpful for daily disposal of cat waste to eliminate or nearly eliminate bad smells. The only thing I disagree with is that Oko or any litter can be safely dumped down the toilet. I don't fault Oko, as a number of brands make the same claim. I just trust comments I've read and heard from plumbers regarding this type of waste clogging pipes. All of the Oko cat litters make the daily removal of soiled litter fairly easy. You sift with a standard cat scoop into a small trash bag and dispose of it in a trash can. The clumping means very little of the litter needs to be removed as part of the daily maintenance. Oko has a chart showing the estimated amount of time before you will need to replace the entire litter box. Now. Oko's correctly claims that their material is absorbent enough that urine won't pool on the bottom of litter products, unlike inexpensive clay products. (Provided you use a reasonable amount--about a medium box per litter box.) Regular maintenance will require that you occasionally add more litter to make up for that which has dwindled due to the waste disposal. So there is somewhat of a regular change out of the litter. However, eventually you still need to start again fresh. Our cats range from 4 to 13 pounds and from 9 months to two years. We have about one box per cat in our house and maintain the boxes once or twice daily. In addition to the daily waste removal, I also use Zero Odor Litter Spray and Odor Eliminator each cleaning. Between the Oko Cat litter, regular cleaning with the Zero Odor product as well as good ventilation of each room that has a litter box (small Levoit Core air cleaner with HEPA filter), cat box odors have been virtually eliminated. I am not sponsored nor employed by any of the makers of the products mentioned and did not receive any free materials or compensation for this review. Addition: While I still think this is probably the one of the best or the best litters for regular and covered litter boxes, I do not recommend it for the Petkit Pura Max. The Oko cat litter becomes really caked on the inside of the Pura Max and it takes a long time to thoroughly clean it off. Both Okocat and Petkit make excellent products, these two just don't work well together. To their credit, neither company has recommended using them together.

So I've been buying ökocat since Spring 2021 when my cats were kittens. At first things were great. It's eco friendly, clumps, and hampers smells. While there was always a tracking issue with the Super Soft version, it was not something I'd every hold against them because it's basically powder that clumps and so I had to deal with it because I had one cat that had a several year long phase not liking larger and harder litter. That said, sometime in 2024 this product changed completely. It looks and smells the same, but it absolutely does not work as well. I started noticing last year there was more of a stale urine smell with the litters freshly after use, but hours after cleaning. It was extremely jarring levels of smell, where I thought a cat had peed somewhere. I tried more frequent litter changing, changing the litter out wholesale more often, and adding a 4th box (for 2 cats). The smell would continually sporadically return for months. I realized this spring that the culprit was the fact this litter fails to clump effectively anymore. If the cats go fresh, sure, clumped, but if it's even mildly been a few hours, or if it's lower humidity, the clumps break apart with the slightest agitation. So they're this almost hydrophobic cat urine wet sand that easily spreads with the rest of the litter. This was causing all the smell. Just tons of semi-dry or dry cat urine wood shavings that re-announce themselves as soon as your cat goes. To manage it requires the utmost care in cleaning to not break the clumps up. It's like an archaeological dig to made sure I scoop at the base of the whole clump, or else I'll see wet broken cat urine sand in the mix. It's a complete departure quality wise from 2020. I use both soft and original as one cat cares about soft, the other cares about nothing so I got a goldilocks 3 litter setup (until recently) of soft, mix, and original. The smell permeates all 3 versions and the breaking of the clumping is persistent. Literally the only fix for this litter is basically to make it entirely 1 use only and to never bother scooping or treating it as litter in the first place. I've only let it get this far cause cats be cats with anything that involves the word "change" and I know my role within the household to my cat overlords. However the last box is halfway thru and that'll be the last ökocat litter I use. At this point I have nothing to lose even switching, as the smell just keeps coming back like they peed on furniture. Might as well temp the gods with a litter change that actually works as advertised.

Perfect clumping and odor control. No smell. Only natural wood scent. Also barely tracks on the floor, which is why I love this litter. Literally perfect EXCEPT, it runs out fast. and the bottom of the bag gets powdery but there's nothing you can do about that and it's just a fact of litter. I've tried other, paper, corn, pine, soy, walnut, clay litters, and I find that this has the best balance of pros and cons of all other materials.
