Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent Cat Litter Comment: I was having problems with my cats ingesting the clay based litters and was looking for an alternative. I spent months and months trying different cat litters before settling on World's Best Cat Litter. Yes, there can be issues with odor control, but that is only a problem if your cat is the type that doesn't bury their business. This litter clumps better than clay based litter and is far less dusty. I've noticed a lot less little paw prints on the furniture, since I made the switch. The clumping power of this litter is so good, that if you are very tidy about scooping (which I am), you only need to do a complete litter change every 3-4 months! I scoop out used litter and replace it with fresh litter, twice daily, and the boxes stay clean for months (and I have 3 cats). I've tried both the original formula and the Extra Strength (multicat) formula and can tell you that there is no difference. If anything the Extra Strength formula tends to be a bit more dusty than the original formula.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Works Great! Comment: Thank goodness its flushable, and with a natural corn kernel compound I don't have to worry about the effects on the environment, and no plastic grocery bags to scoop the litter into TWICE a day. Clumps well, even the urine, Will never buy another kind again!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not bad at all Comment: Like this product a lot. A smaller amount of this litter goes a long way - lasts a lot longer than even the "premium" clumping litters. I love the idea that it's septic-safe. Since it's corn-based, I feel better about flushing it. One drawback... when I first switched to this litter, my cat tried to eat it. After I mixed in a bit of his old litter, he understood the intended use. :) It does track a bit, but no worse than other litters. It doesn't produce a cloud of dust when you pour it, like other clay-based litters I've tried. The only improvement I could think of would be a spouted container for pouring. I bought this in conjunction with the Omega Paw self-cleaning litter box (love, love, love that!) and it would be easier to add litter with some sort of spout. The litter does smell kind of odd, but not particularly bad.
Customer Rating:      Summary: World's Best Cat Litter Original Formula--Good Comment: Our cat has been quite sick; she became severely anemic, had a bladder infection, etc. We just learned about the controversy regarding clumping clay litters which we have used for a couple years. We researched possible problems associated with eating litter because we discovered she was eating her litter. Interestingly, one of the times while she was hospitalized, they did x-rays and found a mass with what appeared to be calculi in the area where there should have been ribbons representing her intestine. They gave her a stomach motility med (Cisipride), antibiotics and did x-rays the next afternoon. The mass and calculi were gone.
To eliminate the possibility that her eating litter (which we just discovered) was causing her any medical problems, we decided to switch to a non-clay litter that was safe to injest. We bought World's Best Clumping Clay Litter Original Formula.
Most importantly, according to the manufacturer, it is safe for our cat to injest should she be inclined to eat it; it does not contain bentonite. It clumps just as well as the prior clay clumping litters. She does track some of it out of the litter box but she also tracked the clay litter out of her box. We have tried numerous clay clumping litters; she tracked all of them out of the litter box. She tracked the most recent out of the litter box but not all the way upstairs as she did with others. Frankly, there is no more, nor less, of the World's Best litter being tracked out of her box than there was the most recent clay litter we used.
It smells much better than the clay litter--it smells like corn. She has urinated several times in the litter and, in my personal opinion, it has better odor control than the clay clumping litters we've tried. The clay litter had a very strong odor, especially after it was used. It seemed to combat the cat urine odor with its own strong odor rather than neutralize the odor which the corn-based litter seems to do. Don't get me wrong--it doesn't neutralize the odor completely but neither is there a repugnant ammonia smell when I clean the litter.
Lastly, I did not have time to mix litters and give our cat time to adjust to changing litter. I dumped out the clay litter and started with a full litter box of World's Best. She took right to it with no problems. As for the litter lasting longer, I can't answer that because we have not had it long enough.
We are very pleased at this point with World's Best Cat Litter Original Formula.
Update: This litter is very dusty--when we would pour new litter in her box, she would come upstairs, lay on the chair & when she left the chair, the chair was yellow with the dust from the litter.
Secondly, if your cat has allergies to corn, I would recommend using a non-corn litter. We discovered our cat is allergic to corn. She continued to have breathing problems after I switched her to grain-free foods. When I replaced the litter with a non-corn litter, within three days her breathing was dramatically improved.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best litter I've tried; satisfied cat and owner Comment: This is the best litter I've ever tried. I tried crystal litter, which didn't do much to diminish odor and had to be changed frequently. I used pine litter for a long time, but while it controlled odor, it tracked like crazy and the cat disliked it and would sometimes go outside the box.
World's Best was a big change... right when I switched, I could tell that the cat loved it. He digs in it like crazy and never goes outside the box.
And it doesn't track much. Best of all, it clumps tremendously well and you have the no-perfume, no-ammonia-odor advantages of natural litter. Since you can flush it, it's very easy. Best of all, I've found because you can scoop it, it stays clean for a whole month. Not having to change the litter frequently is worth the price all by itself.
