Excellent! Especially with the strawberry scent, it doesn't smell even if my cat has made a mess in his litter box :) The only downside is the unbelievable price increase in the last 2 years, at least 30-40%...
There is no binding at all, it crumbles, so you can't lift it with the shovel and throw it away. It raises some relative dust and does not cover odors. With this particular pellet, it was more like I had sand in the litter box, rather than pellets. I wouldn't buy it again.
We have an orphaned kitten since the day it was born. It started using the litter box by itself at 4-5 weeks. We researched this pellet and found that it is the most suitable type for baby kittens, as it is plant-based and non-toxic, it consists of large pieces and they cannot eat it like sand and other types, and most importantly, it does not clump. She really likes it, digs perfectly and safely in it, does her job, and we are very satisfied. I haven't noticed any smell beyond the minimal wood scent; I immediately dispose of the waste safely in her litter box.
It's important that it needs sifting to remove the bits (I wouldn't call it dust) that are created each time from the urine, with a suitable litter box or sifter. Otherwise, it's reasonable for someone to struggle, waste time with their hands, or even start to smell if left at the bottom.
Of course, not everything is for everyone, and in the future, we will try other types, always keeping the kitten in mind.
Update 8 months later: Everything is perfect with the pellet; we also tried the self-adhesive one from the same brand, but it seemed economically unfeasible, so we continue with this one, in a special steel cat litter box with a raised bottom - sifter. Super easy to clean, you can even put a bag at the bottom if that works for you. HOWEVER, I removed one star because the second package we received had nothing in common with the first! The pellet was broken into small pieces... many of which pass through the holes at the bottom of the litter box, something that never happened with the first package. I hope it was just a coincidence, and they haven't changed the composition... In any case, be careful!
Very important to know, I have bought a litter box that has a sieve inside. When the cat goes for its business, the litter turns into dust. In my case, it is what I need because I shake the top part of the litter box a little and it drops all the dust down. It doesn't fully cover the smell, but only if I have left it for 2-3 days. Overall, quite satisfied, especially when combined with the litter box.
I read the reviews and thought I solved my problem with the pellet. I was using Cature tofu (red packaging) but looking for a more economical solution, I bought Cat's best universal. It didn't work at all with my litter box. It didn't pass through the sieve at all because the pellet is too coarse, but well, let's say it can be solved with another scoop. My biggest issue was with the clumping, which didn't exist. I cleaned the litter box and the pellets immediately crumbled, making it impossible for me to clean it properly. The dust it left behind was enough for its small usage. I changed the pellets in the litter box and dust would rise every time (definitely not like sand), but it surprised me because I'm used to that not happening. Unfortunately, it didn't suit me.
It was our first experience with pellets. Neither we nor our cat were satisfied. The smell is awful. The ammonia from the urine is not covered. The pellet turns into dust as soon as it gets wet. Our cat doesn't even want to dig to do his business, so the smell reaches the adjacent rooms... Maybe we would have had the same experience with any pellet we tried because our cat is used to clay litter.
Very good pellet, it doesn't stick to my very hairy cat! It has a nice and discreet scent. I don't know, of course, if the odors will smell more when the cat grows up, but for now, at 2 and a half months old, the smell is covered.
I highlight my experience in the following areas to be more specific and detailed:
- Adhesion ability (on solids) is poor. Therefore, the odors are very strong during use and cleaning.
- Bonding ability (for urine) is poor. It creates a very loose ball that disintegrates when you pick it up. You waste time picking up all the pieces, it's generally terrible. The pieces that remain in the litter box will start emitting ammonia after a week. You will have to throw away all the litter.
- Absorbency (for urine) is moderate. Due to the large size of the pellet, absorption is not as fast as it should be.
- Scattering inside the house (tracking) is non-existent. The pellet is so large that it cannot stick to the animal's paws and then scatter. The only area with a positive experience, but that alone is not enough for me to choose it again.
In the end, it is a product that I completely reject. The size of the pellet is too large and it cannot perform its basic function. However, things work differently in different cases and a trial is always useful without a high cost.
