ökocat Original Wood Clumping Cat Litter, Unscented, 12.6 pounds – Natural Ingredients, Stops Odor, Clumps Solid, 99% Dust Free, Great for All Cats

Great Upgrade
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.

All told, much better than traditional clay
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 fastSuper light – makes it easy to move the box & empty itAlmost no scent at all & what scent there is is basically a faint fresh lumber smellTexture 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 coalsSo far, good odor control (urine & feces) even after 2 weeksCONS:Tracks like CRAZY (see photos) – cat’s boxes are in the condo & most stays in there, thoughClumps are not super strong – you have to be very gentle with the scoopingSometimes the clumps stick to the bottom of the pan & break up when trying to release themWe 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.

Been buying this for over 5 years. The BEST!
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.

I have used this litter for nearly one year and it is just fantastic. Yes it tracks and yes you have to sweep once a day ( 2 cat home ) but that is nothing when you compare to the clay brands. This brand does not stink! if anything I catch whiffs of lumber, and I dont mind that at all. One of my cats paws cant handle the crappy clay litter brands, I spent a fortune ($50) on one bag of recycled paper pellets before finding this one and the pellets are THE WORST. You cant scoop and sift it, you cant tell which pellets are filled with urine etc. so I gave it away. The super soft wood in this product does not bother either of my cats paws. It is totally flushable! Just watch you dont drop a big bomb into the toilet or it may plug, but is easily cleared with a plunger 😉 It does track but what litter doesnt ( or is perfect?)It lasts a long time, I use about 1 $30 box per month for 2 cats and 2 litter boxes!! I will never go back to that gross clay stuff that embeds and sticks in between the paw pads and in the paw fur (causing infection in my cats paw more than once, vet bills!)I honestly rate this 10 out of 10. Just buy a broom or vacuum the tracked stuff once a day and you will love it too 🙂

This litter is the best I’ve tried at covering poo smells. It absorbs pee quickly and clumps nicely.However, the litter itself has a scent that isn’t particularly pleasant, and our biggest problem with it is that it tracks EVERYWHERE! We mainly have carpets in our apartment and we were finding it in the carpet, as well as in/on our furniture. It gets stuck to socks/slippers and is incredibly tricky to remove from slippers especially.It’s quite expensive for how much you get, and so I wouldn’t recommend it from a cost point of view.Another solid option was “Ever Clean Extra Strong Clumping Cat Litter” but they changed their formula as the company was bought out, and I can’t recommend it as a result. I’m not sure if this is an issue from Amazon.co.uk yet.We have tried multiple other litters and this was the best for odour control, but the tracking is too much of a problem for us.We have since switched to using a sifting litter tray (PeeWee EcoGranda) with wood pellets that we buy from B&M. This is a LOT cheaper and doesn’t track anywhere near as much, but there is virtually no odour control apart from the smell of the wood itself.
