In their words
“We were blessed with two Bombay kittens! However, Bombay kittens come with some big Bombay problems. They have teeny tiny noses and litter dust in them and give them pneumonia. We have put up a humidifier to help them, but the best thing that has happened And I wish it had happened sooner as we found out about a new kitty litter. There is zero dust in this kitty litter, and the cats have no proble”

“I’ve had my cats for 12 years, and this is by far the worst litter we have used. I was a long time user of a lighter weight litter made from another brand, but wanted to switch it up. This litter is bigger in granule size but that means it’s painful if you step on a piece that gets tracked out of the litter box & TERRIBLE CLUMPING! We clean our litter boxes every day & the amount of times we go to”
