Arm & Hammer Slide Clumping Litter

I was looking for something that would make scooping multiple litter boxes easier, so I tried this in just one to start. The cats used it without any issues. Unfortunately, the clumps did not "slide" as advertised. Instead, they stuck to the bottom of the litter box like glue. In the process of scraping them off bits broke off in little pieces too small to get them out of the litter with a regular scooper.

I tried one box when it was on sale. I did like the clumping very well, did not fall apart at all. They were very firm and easy to sift out. But stopped using it when the odor became very pronounced quickly, it hit me in the face when I entered the house from outside. Even the cheaper ones worked better at controlling the odors. If it is on sale in the future, may try again if it says it has improved odor control.

I've been using World's Best litter for quite a while. I like most things about it. There is one thing I really hate. The dust!

I've tried a lot of other clumping (a requirement for me) litters and found they either were, despite claims to the contrary, also very dusty and/or they would stick like cement to the litter box. I actually broke a plastic litter scoop trying to pry up a clump of Dr Elsey's.

When I saw an advertisement for this new litter that claimed to be 100% dust free and to not stick to the litter box I had to try it. For the most part, I found it lives up to it's claims. It is completely dust free. It clumps very well. While the clumps that are in contact with the litter box don't just slide off when the box is tilted like the advertisements show, the clumps do come off very easily.

It does have a fragrance and that seems to be something some people want to avoid. It doesn't bother me at all. I think it is a light, pleasant fragrance.

And, of course, the primary requirement: My cats love it. They had no problem with an immediate switch from World's Best to it.

The only con to it for me is the weight. World's Best is very light. I would expect whatever litter I switch to would be heavier than it and maybe the Arm & Hammer isn't any heavier than other clay based litter but an oversized litter box with 3" of it is mighty heavy. But, from my experiments with other litters, I think my cats like digging in heavier litters.
