I mentioned this somewhere else but wanted to hopefully make sure you read this. I think it would be awesome if you reviewed the “city kitty” toilet training kit for cats. It was featured on shark tank, it’s actually very cheap to buy, but does it realistically work?? I bought one but haven’t tried it yet. I just bought a litter robot 4. I also own a pet safe brand (I think) automatic litter box. It’s cool but I don’t like that it only uses crystal litter. But it would be nice if my cats used the toilet. ❤

I would love for you to do a review on the new self cleaning litter box PETKIT that just came out not too long ago hoping to get my cat one

I am so impressed you gave a thorough and honest evaluation of Pretty Litter especially since your video is sponsored by Pretty Litter.

I've gotten into the habit of cleaning out any litter box "gifts" as soon as I see them (I know I can get overwhelmed if I don't keep on top of things and I don't want others in the house bothered by any odours). So, I don't think I'd really like a litter that sits there waiting to hit "saturation". I'm sure people who use it enjoy it (if that's the right description!) and different homes have varying needs. It also seems really expensive, around $30 per month is really expensive. I'd rather use the savings to buy better food for my kitty.

@@BrandonGLPC Glad I'm not the only one! Cats are also so particular about keeping everything clean - true, the thought of mixing a new contribution of urine in the tray daily, doesn't exactly sound delightful😕 Just a thought, but as cats have a better sense of smell than us, are they maybe bothered by the smell before it gets to the point where it irritates us with this product? Just a thought. Although, must admit, I never thought I'd have so much to say about kitty litter!😄

I use pretty litter and my cats urine turned blue. He had been poisoned by antifreeze and the litter did what it was suppose to do.

Thank you for the honest review! We got Pretty Litter to use with our first cat, and it was nice at first to only have to scoop the poop and not the pee. However, even though we followed the instructions for stirring and distributing the pee, the HORRENDOUS smell popped up after a week of using it. The crystals were everywhere, and our cat constantly had them all over himself. We've since given up Pretty Litter for clay-based litter that works better for all parties involved.

Appreciate the honest review and you not glossing over the shortcomings of the sponsor's product

Holy crow! Who's this woman with the ruddy complexion? Where's Mallory? That's just giggles, my dear. no one's ever been more captivating about litterbox talk! I could listen to your short A's all day!

I finally tried pretty litter after swearing against it. I will say it is absolutely without a doubt better with odor than any other litter I have ever used on my 3 cats. Had my whole family over the other day and they said they would never know I had cats cus it smelled so good! The draw back is the insane amount of dust which I hate, I have to buy it more often than clay litter, and the tracking sucks. That said, I will endure all those things for the odor control. Just depends on what you really prioritize with a litter.

Great video Mal. Informative and entertaining as always. I love your channel.

Yea I find your comment about the smell so accurate- it’s ammonia! Strong ammonia! Me and my three couldn’t make it work for more than 10 days, and with 4 litter boxes that vets suggest, that’s very expensive. I would need 12 boxes a month to keep the smell under control, and the tracking is profound- I would say the only benefits of the consistency is how easy it is to scoop, I could just flush the poops which means no litter locker- and you don’t get the “I just stepped on Lego” feeling that the larger crystals give not only you but your fur babies!

My single cat uses 3 cat boxes in different locations in my 5000 square foot home. He is fussy. I don't want to get locked into a subscription to a product he may not like. I would like to see if any health problems are surfacing early. We use Slide by Arm and Hammer which he likes and it stays clean for a month with him alternating 3 boxes. I wish they would let people just buy the product so I can test it without a subscription.

Thank you so much for the update I will definitely not be trying that because I use Arm and Hammer double duty clumping litter and I find myself sweeping that area about four times a day because I just don't like to see any sand. I appreciate your reviews I've learned so much from this channel and I managed to get the proper cat tree keep up the good work and he likes the food recommendations too.

Owani, thank you so much for the kind comment and feedback. I think you're making the right decision in avoiding Pretty Litter-it's definitely not the right choice if you're very sand-averse. Take care!

i used to say i would never use pretty litter, but i realized that i couldnt afford clay litter ironically. i have 2 cats and 3 boxes and i was replacing their clay litter weekly because the ammonia would spread through the whole house even if i scooped every day. with pretty litter its about $10 more expensive per bag but the benefit is i only replace the litter about once a month! so its definitely cheaper for my cats. and recently my cat got diagnosed with FLUTD and so its been helpful in keeping an wye on him and being able to see how much hes urinating and if theres anything concerning in it. the color changing feature also helped us diagnose him in the first place!

My old girl had chronic UTI's, pretty litter helped me literally see by color change when there was a problem

I’ve just never liked crystal litter just because it doesn’t clump urine. It does help with the smell but I like scooping out the poop and pee right away. That’s just me.

That's weird because I just bought pretty litter from target and it wasn't dusty when pouring or scooping and not much sticky to paws. Also target has it for $19 ... slightly cheaper than online.

I scoop as much urine out as much as I can and it controls the odor better than anything I have tried and I have tried them all it seems. It is expensive but scooping some of the urine out makes it virtually odorless.

Hey I've been using woodglakes..the one used for horses..it's very light and cheap and 6 cats r ok with it..

Hi Joni, yes, you could definitely use it in an automatic litter box. Personally, I feel like it's a bit of a waste since you're sifting everything away automatically and don't get to really monitor the colors, but it would work. If I were to use crystal litter in an automatic litter box, I'd go for a regular fine-crystal product rather than Pretty Litter.

To me, it kind of seems like it defeats the purpose of spending so much on Pretty Litter. You're mixing everything up and can't see the colors anyway, so you may as well buy a cheaper regular crystal litter and save your money.

No I don't plan on using Pretty Litter !! I use I use Oko Soft Cat litter. The only other I use is Feline Pine.

And it says call poison control if you eat it

This was a very thorough video. Pretty litter isn't for me. Tidy cat has really good odor control with their scented litter. If you buy the 14 gallon pale, its 20 bucks. Last you an entire month or more for one cat. Low dust from my experience.

No it's not. It's expensive af.

Awesome review, though I would add a caution to your viewers. You just described what this "safe" silicone does to their pee or any fluid. Now remember the dust and then the fact that no matter what, your cat will lick this stuff of their paws, body, etc. Now, to think this stuff doesn't go into their system and try to duck up their fluids just like in the box is ridiculous. It's important to remember anything focused and APPROVED by the national vet police. Depending on the country, the acronym changes, and everything approved is supportive because it will keep the vet business - in business. No one can market a pet product that keeps your vet bill low and cats essentially healthy. That's the reality for humans and cats, whether people like it or not it's true. So, urinary and kidney diseases being almost the number one problem in cat health, that makes one wonder - why? To be sure, no matter what cat litter one uses, it's part of the problem. In nature, in others words a feral cat, doesn't inhale nearly as much dust, any kind of dust, as a household cat. First of all they don't deal with dusty humans... we all know 90 percent of dust is human skin, next you've got clay or wheat or grass or whatever your cat litter is made of being ingested 3-5 times a day, cleaned off their paws and body... it's madness. It's no wonder this health issue is so bad in cats these days. My indoor/outdoor cats NEVER had this problem, my 6 indoor only cats have breathing issues and urinary issues like I've never seen in my 50 years of having them. Common sense goes a long way in being wise for your cats. First, a filtered water bowl is a must, second full service vacuum and dusting is the only sure way to keep the dust down... though a very expensive air cleaner could help alot. So...I wouldn't trust ANY silicone litter. It's going to come out that it's a bad thing eventually, they'll hold off on the studies just long enough to rake in the dough, though. If you can let your cats outside part time, even better. If you can't, and you want them to be healthy, an air cleaner is likely needed. It makes a difference believe me, I've tested it. It's expensive, but then so are vet bills and or the hurt of losing one. Vet bills mean your cat suffered anyway, an air cleaner keeps them from suffering. It's all about what the goal is. Having a cat for you or having a cat as a friend. I like them as friends, they need to be cared for the way they deserve, naturally as much as possible. 35% of cats die under anesthesia, that is really really high average compared to dogs. Birds are worse than that. So, keeping your cat out of stress is key to their health. Vet trips stress them out. I don't care how used to it they seem to get... it ages them every time. 50 years ago, cats were always in and outdoor, they might have used a cat box in a house once a day, they ate more their natural diet outside than in. They lived longer and healthier. They weren't spade and neutered from the time they are 6 months and they weren't vaccinated to the nines. It's been proven over and over dry cats food is DEADLY to a cat, meaning it will kill them... just slowly. Now a car could kill them too, so we can't get hung up on logistics for long here. We have to be wise with the info and situations we have. Don't use silicone in your cat boxes folks... just don't risk it. Nothing that can suck up moisture is good for a cats body that wasn't even meant to drink water like they do. They were meant to get their moisture from rodents and insects and the like. It's all they really need. Their kidneys were not designed like humans, they filter debris more than liquid. Which is likely why clay litter has been the better option for so long, it's natural and they do run into it outside. Human dust is not even on their radar for consideration... it is a big deal. Most don't think of anything but humans being allergic to them, but in truth a ton of cats are allergic to humans. We're dusty creatures. But at least our dust won't soak up the moisture in their bodies! Silicone - ANY kind will. Don't do it. You'll "monitor" them straight to the vet!

Its a chemical

Absolutely not. My cat got blocked because of this litter and almost died. Dont buy this.
