Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract Clumping Clay Cat Litter 40 lb. Bag

Alright, so I absolutely HATE kitty litter, so much that I trained my older cat to use the toilet since he was a young cat. However, my new kitten just can't grasp the toilet concept no matter what I try, so I finally gave in and got a robo Kitty Litter... while that works great, my little turd of a kitten has had a couple of accidents (peeing only) even though he's next to the robo-litter box. I figured it's the texture of the actual litter he hates. Plus, I have 3 floors so he's recently started to have a couple of "accidents" upstairs and not going into the basement robo litter box - thus I needed to add another cat litter on the top floor (no robo-litter box, just a regular faux plant cat litter box). Anyway, I tried every kitty litter you that's out there on the market: pellets, flushable, mulchy kind, Pretty Litter, Crystal one, - you name it. I even the Sustainably Yours Cat Grain Formula - and while it does well on smell, it clumps waaayyy too much and you have to change out the box more often. And while the pretty & crystal littler looks nice it doesn't absorb the smell and it turns the litter box yellow/green (vastly different than its original color (blue/white). It's just gross. Finally, after so much research I decided to try Dr. Elsey's Premium Clumping Cat Litter. OMG, it's a game changer. It works so well, that I think I finally will stop trying new litter and stick to this one as my main one. I was afraid that it would have that clay litter effect, where's it's just gross but holy crap, no. It clumps very fast, and very well, There's no smell (but then again I do have a Cat genie next to my upstairs Faux Plant Cat Litter Box. It's definitely a game changer. The only downfall is that it is HEAVY.... I mean... heavy - but, so worth it. My little turd hasn't had any accident since using this new litter. As the title says, I'd love to gatekeep only b/c you know supply and demand drives the prices up, but I can't. It's that much of an amazing product that hopefully someone reads this, relates to my original dilemma a and can help resolve their challenge.

Okay, this litter works! I was worried that my outdoor adult cat would be unable to learn to use the kitty litter. After a recent trip to the vet and a cone placed on her head, poor kitty is not allowed outside for the time being. I followed the vet's suggestion to put the kitty litter by the door where she usually heads out to do her business and mix some of the garden soil in the litter. She didn't use it immediately but finally did this morning after a grueling 48-hour wait. I thought she was going to burst on our carpet or couches! But she finally succumbed to using the litter. Even with the garden soil mixed in, it's easy to spot where her waste is and even easier to scoop up. It clumped well and was easy to clean. The price is quite high, but you get the value for the money in this litter because of its attractive quality. I will buy one more bag of this before switching to a regular litter, hoping we can finally house-break our cat. Because we mix our litter with the garden soil, there is a significant smell. This is because the poo and pee isn't completely covered in the kitty litter. Once we transition to 100% litter, I'll return with an updated review! I do like that there is no other scent in the litter, so the soil smell she's used to is prominent and inviting.

This worked great in our multi-cat household! I was a little worried about how it would hold up with multiple cats around, but it did exactly what we needed it to do. It stayed secure and held up well even with other cats trying to groom or mess with it, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my cat’s incision was protected during recovery. My cat was still comfortable moving around, eating, and resting without any issues. Definitely a great option if you have more than one cat in the house and need something reliable during recovery.

So we had much of the same issues many describe here, found out about this litter on some blog and forums postings after researching our issue, cat peeing n many spots and not using the box, where her sister was doing nothing of the sort. We had almost kicked her out of the house to the porch, though our house is 2 cats and 2 dogs and all are part of our pack. Everyone else was feeling the problem. Got my lady and I arguing a small bit about how to deal with the issue. I had researched outdoor pet huts, and heated bowls, this is, right in our area, when the cold was hitting hard and we felt sorry for her, but she had resorted to peeing allover the dog beds which are a beast to clean, a heavy shag carpet we had to take outside, use 6 pairs of vice grips and clamp it to a fence, saturate it and clean with lots of detergent and urine neutralizer, and wait 4 days for it to dry outside... and more. Thankfully it was the places we COULD clean successfully. I had read about it, 14 minutes before our area petsmart was closing (only place around here that has it) closing and was desperate. Hopped up, and out got in the truck and headed to get some of this litter promised to make a difference. Realized they might not HAVE it in stock. Called and they didn't have any. Came back home disappointed, yet determined to get some. The next day at work, talked with a friend who also had the same issue and talked her into trying it at the same time. She grabbed some on her way home, as we picked some up at petsmart. At present amazon price, 8 dollars more expensive there, but we needed something immediately. We both chatted via FB about noticing it working immediately. Blown away. Since then I have ordered it a few times via amazon, one time it was WAY too clumpy. Like gooey when urine hit it. Thus, my 4 instead of 5 star review. Maybe a fluke, maybe not... nevertheless, it has, from what we've noticed had some inconsistent quality. BUT it HAS so far, solved or at least alleviated our issue. It clumps hard, it is heavy. It is not AS dusty. It is NOT scented. Like at all. It does NOT track around the house, as much. As long as you keep it clean and follow the directions (use a new box today, and every few weeks at least, DO clean your cat box, people).. it will work. Get the attractant here on amazon as well, use a small bit of that each time or every other time you add litter. KEEP YOUR CATBOX CLEAN. We have had one period of regression. We took her to the vet and they found no severe issues in this 14 year old cat. They DID find a few white blood cells in her urine, so they put her on clavamox which we are just finishing. We notice her howling like meows sometimes and THAT is the time it is time to get up and help her get to the box. We purchased Moist Pounce in a plastic container, and use it to reward her when and only when she uses the box. Treats are better with cats, used as training aids... and cats really respond to positive reinforcement. They don't respond not matter what you believe, to scolding: their minds are something people will never really truly understand, but negative reinforcement does not work. so go with the positive. Pay her more attention. Use a brush and pet her more. ON a regular basis. And take her to a vet, people. I know, an expenditure... but get her some help if you can. And give this a try. It COULD be what keeps you from disowning your cat, or being so mad at the friend you love that you nearly go out of your mind. Good luck and post questions, if I can answer them I will.

This litter is amazing! I got two kittens and it’s been a month and one of the kittens is not reliably seeking out his litter box and I’ve been having the hardest time with him, having to keep an eye on him constantly to make sure he doesn’t pee on the couch or anything. I got this litter put it in the box and now he’s seeking the box out. He loves pawing around in there and my other kitten loves it too, they even play in the box now lol. This stuff works, so amazing and now I trust him to not pee anywhere else. Such a relief! If your cat is having litterbox issues definitely try this!

Well I've been using this stuff for about 3 months now, so I think I can give my honest feedback. This definitely isn't the the magic solution for everyone. Each cat is different & it really depends why they're having trouble with the litter box. For my kitty Mae, who has struggled with peeing outside the box due to separation anxiety, it's been an absolute miracle cure! I've had many cats over the years, including a bengal who spent 15 long years practically attached to my hip. However Miss Mae takes the cake for the most anxiety I've ever seen in a cat when left alone. Tbh she's more like a dog trapped in a cat's body! We found her late one night a little over a year ago, when she jumped out of a garbage bin, screamed at us, tried to follow us & then demanded that I carry her all the way back home. Impromptu pet adoptions are my favorite kind lol. Mae absolutely hates being alone & will scream, tear down curtains, knock fragile things off the shelves, yank cupboards & drawers open... Worst of all she pees outside the litter box. She doesn't spray or mark, but fully releases her entire bladder in certain places. Her spots of choice tend to be incredibly hard to clean up too. We had to replace our futon mattress not once but TWICE due to urine seeping too far into fabric. Just in case you don't already know, cat urine is one of the hardest odors to eliminate. It contains ammonia & certain bacteria which are responsible for that strong bleach-like smell that stings your eyes & nose. The only way to get rid of it is with professional enzymatic cleaners that break down the ammonia & kill the bacteria, changing the chemical structure of the urine so it no longer smells. So if you have a cat that sprays or doesn't use the litter box, it's a real nightmare. After multiple vet appointments proving Mae was otherwise healthy, our vet recommended we try this Cat Attract litter to encourage her to use the box. This behavior would only occur when we (myself & fiancé) both left her alone in the apartment - sometimes just 5 minutes was enough to do it - so I thought for sure it was too late for litter box attractant to work, but I gave it a shot since the only remaining option was to medicate her anxiety &/or sedate her whenever we left the apartment. As soon as I got my first bag, I replaced half of her old litter with the Cat Attract, just to let her get used it. Every time I changed the litter or scooped some out, I just added more of the Cat Attract until eventually she was fully switched over. It took about 2 weeks total. This is the method I've always used since I've found most kitties dislike if you change things too fast, like brands of food or litter, & they can react poorly. Well ever since that day she hasn't peed outside the litter box a single time! Not a single "accident" for 3 whole months! I even stopped covering up my futon with a big plastic tarp when I leave the apartment bc I can finally trust her again :) I'm going to keep using this for sure! However I think eventually I could just use 50/50 with another cheaper brand. The special odor of the Cat Attract is the important part, so as long as Mae can smell it, I'm assuming it should work. My advice for anyone looking to try this stuff out is to do the same thing, at least until your kitty gets used to it. In summary this worked to completely eliminate my cat's problematic peeing! It's pretty affordable (comparable to other popular brands) has very little dust which is always a bonus, is very easy to scoop & all around a good experience! Note: If your cat ever starts having trouble concerning the litter box, such peeing in inappropriate places, your FIRST step should be a vet appointment! It almost always indicates a health problem! Peeing right outside the box, or nearby in the same room, is the number one symptom of UTIs in cats!

As much as I wanted to give a good review, I will not be purchasing again. I have an elderly cat with diabetes that urinates a great deal. The litter turns into the consistency of wet cement and cannot be scooped but must be dug out with a metal scoop and is used up pretty quickly for an expensive litter. It still tracks and I have litter mats outside the box. The plus side is that it does mask the odor of the box. Might work well for younger cats. I’m still on the hunt for a quality litter.

I’ve had this litter on bi-monthly subscribe and save for over 5 years now, thanks to my oldest cat, an extremely finicky (neutered) male Russian Blue. I used to use Arm and Hammer, but once I adopted him, that litter no longer cut it because he peed outside of the litter on rugs, carpets, in sinks and bathtubs, and plastic (for example, boot trays). I tried a lot of other options before purchasing this litter because, let’s face it, it’s expensive compared to other clumping brands. However, it ended up being the only litter attractant that worked, and has continued to work (or at least help) since the first purchase. While it was just me, simply switching to this litter stopped *all* of the marking problems. When I first moved in with my now-spouse, that stopped for a bit because my partner treats both of my cats like dogs, and his loving behavior triggered my blue’s anxiety beyond what any litter could do. Eventually, behavioral modification and feline anxiety meds resolved the remaining issues, but just in case, I’ve continued to use Dr Elsey’s. Beyond the attracting capabilities (which will obviously depend on the cat, of course), it clumps really well, does not smell, and is an overall good litter. For example, I’m fostering a cat at the moment who was delivered to me with a litter box and clean litter (Purina tidy cats brand) and wow, I’d forgotten how bad other “clumping” litter can be. Poor clumping, tons of dust, a weird smell… As soon as my next order of Dr Elsey’s came in, I switched out all of my foster’s litter to my usual brand to my and her satisfaction. Bottom line - if you have a cat that won’t stop peeing all over, this stuff is worth a try.

This product saved me. Our 17 year old cat was not using the litter tray at all, we couldn't cope as due to her liver issues she was having very soft bowel movements - at 3-5am of course - she lives in our bedroom (due to age). After 2 tough years, she is using her tray 90% of the time. It's made a huge impact on our lives, as we were up every night scrubbing the carpets. This product WORKS. I literally don't right reviews but want to scream it from the rooftops about this product. We use a 50/50 mix with her regular clumping litter too, so i think we'll get a fair bit of time from the bag.

Used to be SGD$51.05 a 40 pound bag, now it’s $234??

My cats lived it and it was a good price. The best part was the almost non existent dust. Now with four cats, I cannot afford it. My cats had to go back to the bargain brands. My newest kitty loves jumping into the litter box as I poured new litter in and I didn't mind that with this litter. Now I close the door until the dust settles. I love my cats and they do get the best care with multiple cats...

Muy buena arena para mis gatos aunque cuesta más que otras pero vale la pena

I recently got a kitten and she has been a complete nightmare; she’s been pooping and peering everywhere. I took her to the vet and she was completely fine, but just was taken a little early (was not aware of this before I got her). Anyways, I tried calming defusers, having her watch my older cat, and rewarding when she did use the litter box but nothing would work. Until I discovered this. It worked instantly. And I mean instantly. It works so well that even my older cat likes to use this litter LOL. 11/10. The only con is that it is difficult to scoop and hardens really quickly. But I don’t even mind because at least I’m not cleaning poop and pee of the ground everyday. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
