ARM Hammer Hardball Lightweight Platinum Multi-Cat Clumping Cat Litter Odor Control Easy No-Mess Scooping Garden Bloom Scent 14

I have to say this is by far the best litter. It's lightweight and clumps so well. No smell and it doesn't stick to the bottom. I used to use the clay version but it still sticks a bit and doesn't clump too well. This makes scooping so clean and complete. Plus the bag is easy to pour into my littler box. Read more

So this is just about the best cat litter I have used for my two fluff nuggets and one is very particular about which litter I buy. My old lady cat will only use clay litter, and has very much expressed her hatred of Pretty Litter and World's Best Litter by urinating on my stuff and absolutely refusing to use. I noticed scooping by hand that other litters the urine clumps would fall apart the moment I would touch them and the litter box would just stink after a day. When this came out I decided to take a chance mostly because it's lightweight and I live on the second floor. Oof, night and day difference. I appreciate so hard that it clumps so well and keeps it all together. I recently just bought an open top automatic litter box with a rake system and it works amazing. My only gripe is that I hate the scent. It's not horrible, but for some reason it just doesn't sit well with me and I wish it came in an unscented version. The price did go up recently so I decided to switch to another high quality litter to save some money. Nope. Bad idea. It just stuck on the rake, it didn't clump as well, it just reeked. Within a day I knew I messed up and I needed to go back to the tried and true hardball and ordered a bag so that I could just mix it in and get through the 40# bag I bought of the other stuff. It's been a trial and we are almost back to just the Hardball. 5 stars for the practicality and the value of this litter, but for me personally, 4.5 stars for the scent. Please please just give us an unscented version so I don't have to keep smelling the terrible garden bloom scent. I hate it. But it is the best litter I have used by far. So my cats win the argument.

This is the best kitty litter I've ever purchased. It truly lives up to its name. The urine clumps do not fall apart so scooping is 100% effective. It leaves no oder once the clumps are removed. Slightly embarrassed to admit this but when I don't feel like going through the whole scooping process (we have 6 adult cats so it gets tedious), I literally can just put on a disposable glove and remove the hard clumps without even having to use a scoop! It really lasts a long time since there is no waste. It took my cats a bit to get used to it bcuz of the finer texture so I had to mix it in with what they were used to and slowly phased out the messier less absorbent grainy litter. Now all the cats are happy I'm happy and when u walk in our house nobody would ever guess we have 6 indoor cats. Its kinda stinky until the clumps are removed but the litter itself does not retain and of the urine or fecal smells. I've tried the stuff that is supposed to just slide and claims to seal clumps (I won't publicly bash another brand by name) but it didn't live up to its name. This Hardball stuff I will use as long as they keep making it (please don't stop making it!) it keeps our house order free even if u put your now inches away from the litter box, it stays as fresh smelling also the grains are much less annoying if u happen to step on what the cats kick over the side it sweeps easy and doesn't hurt even barefooted. More like tiny grains of soft sand. I think the put magic in it. Not the cats lol what they put in it is far from magic but I just love this stuff AND it's lightweight. I should stop praising this product so they don't jack up the price but I'd still buy it if that happened lol Read more

I used to use crystal litter. This has a particular scent to it. I would say it combats odor quite well, but maybe not quite as well as crystal litter. However it is much better than the crystal litter in terms of cleaning. It really makes the process more enjoyable. It keeps the cats paws etc cleaner. This is because this does not allow that “slush” type litter to form at the bottom when the pee mixes with the crystal litter after sinking through (this happens with the vast majority of litters. Crystal litter was the best I found at combatting this problem prior to hardball litter). It tracks a lot more than crystal litter but I bought a litter mat and that helped immensely, there’s almost no tracking now (eliminating that concern). It’s much better on my cats paws than the crystal litter was. That was always one of my biggest concerns with the crystal litter. The crystal is just too jagged etc for my liking. This is very fine. It allows them to dig and cover at their leisure and much better mimics their preferred potty time environment (sand). I used to put off cleaning the litter to every few days as it was a nuisance with the crystal litter. But with this I clean it daily. I think it also helps save on litter as once it hardens, the remaining fine granules all sift the scooper. With the crystal one sifting was difficult, especially with the pee sludge. So I would cycle the entire litter box worth of litter once a week. With this you can clear out the hardened urine no problem. Very nice. Price points better per lbs too Read more
