Why have they discontinued this product – Why have they discontinued this product ... this was hands down the best and only clumping litter that actually worked properly. We have 3 cays, this was the ONLY litter that would keep the litter tray fresh and clean. Show details · 1
Found this due to reviews. Best in Oz – [[[IMPORTANT UPDATE 2023, distributor no longer imports 'PURINA TIDY CATS form USA :-(((. I checked. we now use a different brand called "Trouble & Trix Lightweight Cat Litter with Baking Soda" which is actually lighter and very good. and probably cheaper... Id give it 5 stars too, only drawback its a back, not a porable container with lid ]]] … Read more · 1
The container makes it much easier, hassle free to pour, and safer to store. Best rated and best clumping stuff in Australia . I haven't done a scientific comparison between the 24/7 one and the other but it's so good I trust the packet. Very good clumping. Fast. Best odour control. Perfume a lot less annoying than other brands. And you can extend the life of it by adding the deodorising power. Only drawback is price. [update 2023: fragile supply chains - or high demand due to this review - means constantly sold out. I order online well in advance now as its almost never in stock at Big W, Woolworths etc. It comes from USA. ]
Sad that it’s always out of stock – Very sad that this is never in stock at Woolworths any more. Both our cats liked this litter and I also liked it as I can get it delivered with my regular groceries, it clumps well, locks odours and the bottle packaging was easy to handle for refills etc. It’s been such a long time since we were able to buy this, I don’t have a receipt to “verify” this review.

Love the product, shop around for good prices – Domain Pet shop sell their own version of this which is $20 for 12kg which is okay but dusty and sticks to the bottom of the litter tray. Purina's one very much does clump tightly and doesn't stick to the litter tray. It works fast to stop odours. Its generally $20 for 6kg whether from Coles, Woolies or Big W. However their scent free version is… Read more · 1
$9 at the Reject Shop for 6kg!
I like this litter and will continue using it but my cats are taking a long while to get used to it. They use it and don't have accidents but its disconcerts them how much it gets in between their paws and tracks around the place.
The tiny size of the pieces is necessary but unfortunate for my cats. I'll stick with it though because it suits my version of kitty litter tray perfectly!

$20 for cat litter and my apartment reeks of urine – Do not waste your time or money with this crap. We used to use it and it was great but they stopped stocking the unscented one at my grocery store and quite frankly $20 for some clay is a rort. We use a $3 Woolworths brand one and does the same job for a fraction of the price. Unfortunately that cheap one was out of stock. So we had to buy this… Read more
garbage.
I’ve just come home, balcony door left wide open, there should be no accumulation of smell. But the stench hit me the moment I walked in and it will not go away, the kitty litter is still relatively clean, we only put it in before we left 8 hours ago. This stench has permeated through out the apartment and even with all the windows open too I can still smell this wretched kitty litter, it smells like urine even though it’s still mostly clean, scooping it out has not helped at all. I’m extremely annoyed that I have to deal with this smell for the evening, it’s absolutely revolting but we can’t chuck it out. I will never buy this ever again, I don’t know what on earth they’ve done to it, I’ve had the 24/7 performance before, it was while ago but I know it wasn’t like this. I absolutely will be taking what's left back for a refund because this is totally unacceptable.
Great product but needs to have refill option – I have been very happy (and so have my cats) with the quality and odour control of this litter and have been using it for quite a few months. But why oh why can't we have refills made available in our local supermarkets as the solid plastic containers must add considerably to the very high price which averages $20 per unit. On reading a reply… Read more
by a Purina staff member to a similar customer query last year it was stated that your company would definitely look into providing a solution with cheaper refill packets. It is now 2019 and still nothing has eventuated! I believe that different sizes and refills are available in the USA, so why can't we have the same in Australia? I would like to add my voice to a call for Purina to actually put their words into actions and am most disappointed that your company makes no attempt to help Australia's efforts in reducing the huge amount of waste these sort of containers make.
You have a very good product so why don't you make it easier and much more affordable for your customers in Australia? If you can do it in the USA, surely it can't be that hard to have the same products available here?!!
Come on Purina, do the right thing!
Brilliant. No more litter problems! – We had been using OzPet litter which is a non clumping litter (and our breeder said we should use), but one of our Tonkinese cats hated it. He ended up weeing on the spare bed, in the kitchen sink and in my sons gym bag. So I changed to TidyCats and our problems disappeared just about straight away. It forms nice solid chunks you can scoop out,… Read more
it smells fresh (not that revolting lavender some companies use). And it lasts a good month if you scoop every 2 days or so. I top it up after scooping and add a shake of TidyCats litter deodoriser.
The only problem is that our 2 Tonkinese do track litter because it is fine grain. Our litter trays are in our laundry so it doesn't tend to get in other rooms. I use a Dyson handheld vacuum to quickly vacuum the tracked litter when I clean the litter every 2nd day. Takes about a minute, if that.
I just hate the smell of dirty kitty litter, but I have to say that this is the best product I have ever used. Totally recommended.

Love it for our litter Robot !!! – I have tried So many different litters now for our new litter robot, it’s done my head and wallet in ! Love the tidy cats instant clumping litter ! Minor drawback is it has stuck to her paws at times as she is a water loving cat and plays in my bath, so when she toilets afterwards, some has stuck ! But the steps and mat outside the litter Robot… Read more · 1
have helped . The scent of the litter is so much better, as it is also in my en suite so it was noticeable with other litters. best prices I found were on catch and Amazon , always worth a search though ?
I LOVE THIS LITTER! Just wish it was less expensive :( – I saw the reviews on this a while ago and will buy it whenever I can afford it. I have 2 cats, ragdolls.. so relatively big breeds, who need relatively big litter boxes, to fill their litter boxes it costs me 3 x 6kg cartons to just fill my cat's litter up for a week or 2. that's $72 to fill my cat's litter boxes!! :( It devastates me as I love… Read more · 1
this litter so much. I wish you guys could release a bigger value size perhaps or have it on sale more often so I can stock up. This litter is small enough it doesn't get tracked everywhere, the odor control is AMAZING and the cats love it. PLEASE SPONSOR ME PURINA.
Lasts a long time and controls smells – I've tried many brands of cat litter thinking they were all the same and wondered why Tidy Cats is more expensive. I found out that this brand pours well, doesn't produce much dust and clumps well, but not overly much to the point it gets stuck to the bottom of the tray and has to be thrown out (which other brands do). This means that a standard… Read more · 1
6.35kg container will last up to 2 months when you only scoop out the waste. It does not have a strong fragrance which is good for my cat.

not good anymore – Before covid this kitty litter was the best, now it has come back into stock I have bought a few times and it is not the same, doesn't clump well anymore and the odour is there where is wasn't before, not happy there has obviously been a formula change and price increase.

Horrible – I exchange crystals with this and it was the worst mistake ever. This sand made the floor a mess, it’s not less resistant or clean than crystal and does not last! As soon as run out I’ll go soon back to my crystals which smell better and are cleaner! Show details

I used to LOVE this litter! – Absorbs odor, spread a bit. Lately clumps disintegrate into tiny clumps when you scoop them out. Customer Service have been great, but I've decided to try another litter. It was just too hard to keep it clean. Apparently there have been no changes to the formula, so I'm at a loss as to why this has happened. Show details

Works well but stinks – Tried this as the unscented has been discontinued (in Aus) as advised by Purina. The fragrance over powers the cat litter smell but is just as offensive to our household. Not recommended will have to find another brand now. Show details

Very good if the smell doesn't annoy you – Clumps very well and good good odour control. love the fact it comes in big plastic containers which are convenient for storage and topping up. but tracks even with a litter mat so have to sweep up. I couldn't however bear the smell of the Instant Action version (blue label) and swapped to the unscented one which has been much better. Reliable and… Read more · 1
convenient and good value if you can can find on sale. But the tracking and dust has led me to try a tofu litter (PetKit activated carbon) which has almost zero tracking. clumps really well but much dearer as need almost 2 x 6L bags to fill tray. this is shrink wrapped for freshness, so decanted left over into Tidy Cats plastic container for top up. however am going to experiment with using less.
Purina Tidy Cats kitty litter – Had a nice fragrance, however, I have a burmese and devon rex and this kitty litter left such a mess in my bathroom, as it spread everyone and when you stepped on it, it crushed.

I love it but it’s quite expensive for a multi cat household! – It is the most effective litter on the market. I have tried at least 20 different types of litter in the last year and I always come back to this one! Unfortunately I can only afford it when it’s either $16 on sale at Woolworths or the box is on sale at big w. With 4 cats and 2 being pregnant I go through a ridiculous amount. Just wish it was more affordable. Show details · 1
Best litter EVER!!! – I have 2 indoor male cats and one container of this clumping litter lasts about a week and a half. It's so easy to clean the litter tray because the clumps are easy to scoop up and dispose of. There is no lingering urine or poo smell either and no dust when it's poured into the litter tray. My favourite is the High Performance. Unfortunately, I haven't found any in the shops or online for a couple of months. I hope it stock comes back soon. Show details · 1
Like concrete on our cat’s feet – I tried this because of the clumping, we usually use crystals. My poor cat got it stuck all over her feet, tracked it along with poo all over the house. It was almost impossible to remove from her feet. I had to soak them in warm water . The worst litter I have ever used!! Hard to remove from the litter box, our cat’s feet, and our house as it’s like concrete. Show details

Excellent clumping litter – I used to use a different brand which went downhill. I’m so glad I found the Purina in my local supermarket as an alternative. It clumps really well making the litter box easy to clean. No odour either. Show details · 1
Best clumping litter we have tried – We have two cats that won't use any other litter now. We love that it clumps urine and is easy to top up. There is an initial poo odour, but Tidy Cats quickly overcomes the smell so we don't come home to a stinky house. I used to keep an eye on pricing and purchase whenever the price was $16. I now buy from Amazon subscription for $14.36 delivered… Read more · 1
free. If only Purina would make the bulk pails, boxes or bags that you can buy overseas here in Australia to reduce cost and plastic waste.

Love it – My mum decided to change to this litter and it works so well. No longer an issue with sharing the bathroom with the cat and it’s litter tray. Easy to clean. Show reply
Best cat litter! – No smell - no problems! This cat litter is great! When my cats burry their poos properly you wouldn’t even know they are there! The added bonus of having a easy to pour box.... I wish it could be refilled Show details · 1
Best cat litter ever!!!! – I love this cat litter. The clumping feature is amazing. Easy clean up. Litter lasts for ages. Plus my cat no longer pees on bed as she loves the litter. Show details · 1
Best I’ve used – Always smells clean and fresh, I don’t need to keep buying cat litter because it goes far and lasts longer. I’ve read reviews and complaints of cats walking litter through the house but this doesn’t happen with my cat at all. My cat has irritable bowel syndrome and is very very very smelly. Since I’ve used this product, I have barely noticed any… Read more
smells at all. I’ve used heaps of cat litters and this is by far the best. Seems expensive but lasts so long with top-ups that the value for money is actually great.
Best litter – I’ve pretty much tried every cat litter and this is by far the best in terms of odour control and not spreading around the home. I just wish it came in a more environmentally friendly package and didn’t take up as much room in the bin. It is expensive at $20 and usually lasts 2 weeks. Show details
Fantastic – This is the best litter l have ever used! I have a shocking gag reflux but not with this litter! It is easy to clean, goes a long way for the size and best of all does not smell! I stock up when it is on special at $16 at Woolies or Coles which is often! Show details
Very expensive, poor performance – I thought this would be something special as it's so expensive, but it was so much worse than the supermarket's own brand. The cats tramped it all over the house. Don't waste your money. Show details
Good litter, easy cleanup – My favourite litter at the moment, lasts me 4 weeks. Easy to filter out the clumps. Only bad things are is does get stuck on my feet when I walk around the house, constantly have to sweep it up, and it can stick to my cats bum making her drag her bum on the floor to get it off. Show details
The best cat litter I've ever used! – This litter clumps perfectly without crumbling and sticking to the bottom of the tray. Its easy to clean up, and dispose of and my "fussy"cat doesn't spread a trail of it through the house which is a real plus. It absorbs 90% of the odors and we tend to go through less of it. The only down side is it's a little pricey unless it's on sale. Otherwise, it's fantastic. Show details
Amazing and it Works!! – This is the best cat litter I have used ever. Used a few different brands and it does cost a little bit than the other brands but it's worth it. We have to cats and it last for about a month with just a light top up here and there. Can't smell anything for a very long time. It actually works. Worth the money. Saw some on special and got 3 of them. Strongly recommend to all pet lovers out there!! Show details
not sure does anyone know if it causes constipation? – I found this incredibly difficult to clean out of the box as it sticks to it. Also simulataneously my cat has suffered incredible constipation which necessitated expensive xrays and treatment and is still not resolved. The vet said it looks like she has eaten sand but we don't have any sand anywhere. The only thing different is that I started… Read more
using this kitty litter.she started drinking heaps and straining and couldn't go. Is it possible she has licked it off her paws causing the bowel obstruction? The vet seems to think this is likely the cause. Now I have to dose her up with laxative in the hope that it will move but it isn't really helping a lot. Also she stopped using the kitty litter tray and not just goes on the floor even though I changed back to her old litter. I am really worried. She is quite old and won't stand an operation.
