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 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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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!
Horrible smelling litter that does not last – This litter has an unpleasant overly sweet smell, that mixed with the cat's droppings is quite sickly. I have three cats, so I need a litter that will stand the extra usage, while I am after a good litter. After removing the soiled/clumps this litter lasted less than three days. I did find the litter had low dust and tracking. Show details
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.
Great Odour Control, But Tracks Easily – This is the best cat litter for odour control, nothing else on the market performs better. A 6.33kg container of Tidy Cats Litter costs $20.00 normally, But Coles have it on special for $16.00 on a periodic basis. Don't be put off by the price as a 6.33kg container lasts a long time and it when it's time to top up the level of cat litter it… Read more
still has no detectable urine odor after that time.
When I need to clean the cat litter box I simply pour the used litter into a bucket and thoroughly clean and dry the cat litter box, I put the used litter back into the cat litter box and top up the level of litter with fresh cat litter and thoroughly mix together, Doing this means there is no wastage.
The non-clumping cat litters eventually become saturated with urine and start to smell after 7-10 days.
Then the whole litter tray of cat litter is disposed of and replaced with fresh cat litter this results in more waste going into landfill.
When using Tidy Cats you only need to dispose of the clumps of urine and faeces.
Because this is a clumping cat litter the litter granule size must be small so Tidy Cats Litter can form solid clumps of litter which hold together well and don't crumble easily.
However this also creates an annoying problem, This small partice size means that this type of litter is easily tracked by your cat when leaving the cat litter tray.
Top Entry Litter Boxes help to reduce the amount of litter tracking but do NOT eliminate it.
A budget priced version of a top entry cat litter box can be made by purchasing a cheap, sturdy large size plastic storage container, Simply cut out a cat sized hole in one end of the lid.
Litter mats also help but you will need to keep a dustpan and brush handy for quick clean ups.

By far the best – This is hands down the best I’ve ever used Completely clumps and never any odour. I always used the homebrand clumping at about $3 a bag and if I had not received a sample of this product I probably would never fork out the $20 it costs! But it is worth every cent! With 3 cats and a few trays I was going through around 4 bags every week. The… Read more
tidy cats bottle far outlasts.
Yes it’s a pain when it’s on the floor and feels like sand under your feet but this happens with every cat litter
Tried them all...This is hands down the best litter on the market! – I have literally tried every litter on the market! I thought I was happy with my clay clumping litter until the last bag I purchased just didn’t clump well. So I found Tidy Cats on special and decided to give it a go! Wow!!! You would not know there is a cat in the house. Clumps really well, no falling apart like my last litter. Thank you Purina
Terrible – I will not buy any more of this cat litter. Any of the kinds offered. Reason is because I don't like how it gets tracked all over the house. Always having to vacuum and sweep very frustrating.
Horrible Product – Does not clump the urine!! As soon as you go to scoop the "clump" it breaks apart into fine particles that fall through the scooper getting it all mixed in with the clean litter! Terrible - cannot recommend this product at all.
Do not buy – Does not clump oder difficult. Will never buy again. Difficult to scoop, does not have a nice smell only have one cat can't imagine using this litter with more.
Terrible odours after just one day – I picked this one up after reading reviews here and was incredibly disappointed given the cost. I washed the litter trays out and replaced the litter with this one. I woke to a terrible smell coming from my en suite (I have two kittens that I am training) and also when I walked past the laundry where there is another tray. Both trays are covered… Read more
too so you can imagine how bad it must have been. The smell was actually worse due to the litter itself, meaning the usual odour is nowhere as bad when I use Catsan. Anyway, I emptied the waste in the morning but the smell remained throughout the day. I had to completely change the litter the next morning and I rewashed the trays as I usually do when changing the litter. I normally get a week out of the litter before having to do a complete change so one night is obviously not good enough. I really really LOVE the clumping capability of this litter BUT the odour control is completely non-existent. I feel ripped off having only been able to use it for two days. I would not recommend it. I also bought the odour control version (in the red container) which is marginally better on the odour front but again I had to change the litter out conpletely far too soon (after 2 days). The clumping capabilities of that one again is the best I’ve seen in a litter but I can not recommend it.
Best clumping sand that I've ever tried – I have to keep my cat's semi-opened litter box in my en suite and have my door locked. After comparing with so many other brands product, this product is the winner of the odour control in such high humidity space. It is also more expensive $22/7L. I've tried the most of the Purina range. The one with red package works better than the blue one,… Read more · 1
and the clumping one is easier to scoop than the non-clumping range. As somebody else mentioned, It is a bit dusty. I always find her dusty foot print on my desk and bed sheet while using Purina. I can not always offer this to my cat, as It's not readily available in most of the supermarket or pet shop. Which make me to do online shopping, and they don't offer loyalty points like other pet shops do. I wish I can purchase if from Petbarn or other pet shop with $17/7L so that I can constantly get one for my cat.
Still bad odour – Tried this for the first time as it says clumps really well and very little to no dust but did not control the odour at all :( in fact seemed to make it stronger will try one of the other models and see how that goes
Thanks for getting in touch. We are sorry to hear the… Read more (+1 reply)
What an amazing product!!! Our girl is so happy – 2 days ago my daughter and I adopted our very first cat, and after much debate this litter - I am so impressed! As she is an indoor cat can't believe how good it smells near our kitty tray. Thanks Purina Show 3 replies

Not going back to homebrand – I was recommended this product by a fellow cat fosterer and won't be using the cheap brand again. This stuff is expensive but amazing.I currently have 4 cats in the house (2 are mine & 2 fosters) changing stinking homebrand just wasn't working out for me. I now want to try the rest of the Purina range. Show 5 replies
The best kitty litter for your cat! – This is the best kitty litter-it clumps really well and is easy to dispose of the litter. I live in a small unit and there is no odour with this litter. It lasts a really long time too. I'm extremely impressed with this product and would definitely recommend it to any cat owners. Show reply
Clumps well...but – I finally swapped from another brand and gave this one a try and it definitely clumps well and there's no dust (which I LOVE because that was a huge problem with the other brand) but the fragrance of this is a bit overwhelming. It definitely stops the smells as soon as they occur which it's designed to do so I shouldn't complain but the fragrance… Read more
is very noticeable and lingers strongly and it has makes me hesitant to keep using it. It'd be a great product for anyone who is looking for conveniently packaged, clumping, dust free, odour killing cat litter and who doesn't mind the strong perfume smell, I'm just not sure it's for me.

The Best Cat Litter – I just tried out the instant action clumping cat litter that was sent to me yesterday and I would like to say that it's the best cat litter I've ever used. Clumping action is great and the odour control is fantastic. My cats love the litter too so it's definitely the litter that I'm sticking to from now on. I think it may work better than the 24/7 clumping litter but maybe that's just me. Thanks Purina :) Show reply
No more smelly house! – After years of putting up with the aromas of kitty, I now have a fresh smelling house thanks to this product. My cat does her business and there is minimal odour. Clumps well, no dust and no smell. I write this a metre away from her kitty litter box and can not smell a thing. Very pleased! Show reply
Odour control could be better – We decided to try this litter because it promised no dust, good clumps and odour control. I also like the fact that the packaging is recyclable and very easy to pour. No dust - check! Much better than other brands we tried. Good clumps - check! Very easy to scoop out. Odour control - disappointing. Had better results with other brands. It's a… Read more
fairly expensive litter, so we wonder if it's worth trying the other variety or if it won't keep our apartment odour free.

The best cat litter I have tried – Finally Tidycats is available in Australia!! With 2 cats - this litter is the best I've tried (over 10 years!). The clumping makes it so easy to clean out and I hardly even notice the smell anymore as there is some kinda awesome going on reducing odors. Both my cats love it and to top it off the packaging is so easy to pour...no more huge bags going everywhere as I pour it! Show reply
The best – I used to use this when living overseas and have gone off others so to see this online was amazing - bought immediately. so easy to clean, so easy to carry and store - the BEST.... Show reply
Can't live without it – It would be the best one out then the other stuff the other stuff that I used to buy it's no good and when the cats go to the toilet use to stink I prefer this kind of stuff and my cat like it Show reply
I couldn't believe my eyes! – Finally Tidy Cats is in Australia! My eyes nearly bugged out of my head when I saw it at IGA! The cat has never been so happy doing her business & I've never been happier to clean it up. No fuss, no dust in my eyes, no strong odour! Only negative is the price - $17.99 for 14 lb...ouch!

Brilliant!!! – I'm so glad that I've found this product, after trying just about everything.. With 3 indoor cats, my patience was being tried every day.. This eliminates smells and lasts so much longer and also doesn't track through the house as much. Thankyou!!! Show reply
