Special Kitty Tight Clumping Clay Cat Litter, Fresh Scent, 20 lb Jug

I have used this litter for years and I loved it, the 3 cats loved it….my most recent order is TERRIBLE. I’m assuming they’ve changed something because the dust this creates when pouring, scooping is unbearable. You literally can’t breathe. I have never experienced this from prior purchases. I will order this 1 more time and if it’s still this dusty, I’m going to look for something else. Disappointed, this was my go to litter. Bummer, please change the formula back.

I have had multiple cats over the past 20 years and have used this brand continuously, but my last purchase in Feb 2026 was a disappointment. Not only were the jugs different but so is the litter. It is very coarse, does not hold a clump, and extremely dusty! The dust lingers in room after cleaning the boxes and I have to turn on a fan to get rid of it. If the product was intentionally changed, please change it back as I plan on buying another brand.

This was a substitution for my regular order. The smell is like going into a service garage and smelling old oil. the dust is horrible. I didn't even adda lot to my cat box. I did not even use it till i had totally cleaned and washed the cats litter box. I mixed with my other and went to clean this morning and you could actually see the cloud of dust . This is VERY DANGEROUS to the cat's respiratory system and to mine actually. This should be taken off the shelves. NOT A GOOD PURCHASE do not waste your money on this product .

Just like the new 45lb boxes, the 20lb containers contain the new litter... and it's absolutely rubbish. Don't believe the "99% dust free" lie. The dust cloud was ridiculous, and it caused the cats to, quite literally, run from it. The little individual pieces of thy litter itself is NOT what it used to be. They're significantly larger and resemble regular clay litter. Clumping is pretty good, but that's a moot point, because the pieces are collectively too big to sift easily, so you spend twice the time you usually do in that department. It's like they mixed regular clay litter with the original formula scoopable/clumping litter. Ridiculous. Read the room (and reviews), Walmart! Your new litter sucks, and people will stop buying it. Whoever has the idea to change this stuff should have been fired yesterday!

I have been buying this litter for years and now need to switch. It used to be ok, especially for the price, but my last 2 orders, the litter now seems to be all dust. It doesn't clump nearly as good as it used to. It just appears to be all clay powder/dust. The dust is now all over the rooms with the litter boxes. I'm sad that something has changed with this litter and there is nothing to indicate that a change was made. I recently bought a store brand litter from a different store and it was much better quality than this one is now. Night and day difference. I can't recommend this litter unless they decide to go back to something that works and isn't so dusty.

I have bought this brand for almost a decade, and the company must have changed their ingredients. There is so much dust, like, I don’t even want to use this in a covered litter box. If it covers my glasses just from pouring it into the litter box, I cannot imagine what it would do to their lungs when they’re trying to use the bathroom. One cat immediately started sneezing as soon as I poured it into the pan. I will never buy this again. OH and I found literal clumps of clay in the box. TERRIBLE adjustment!!

This litter will give you respiratory issues. I have used this before and it was not this bad. So after a long time I bought this again. It turned out extremely dusty and I had to wear a mask to clean the litter box. Don't buy this if you have other choices. It will make a big cloud of dust even when scooping and was coming right at my face. Not gonna use again!!!

..the new more expensive formula is terrible..not only does it turn into concrete when wet, it is so dusty every time you scoop it, it spreads the dust throughout the room...it used to be a good value for the price...not now!! in addition to the excessive dust and price increase the clumping function makes the clump exteemly hard to scoop which is why we will no longer be using this product.

We've used this for years, and it's worked fine, but the last purchase was completely unusable. Both jugs contained litter that was the opposite of 99% dust free, as stated on the container. Each pour and each scooping created heavy clouds of dust that covered everything, like something out of "The Grapes of Wrath". I don't know what they did to the formula of this litter, but it's the worst I've ever seen for dust. The "99% dust free" claim is the epitome of false advertising.

Caused immediate upper respiratory distress, within a single day. Both cats, eyes were tearing, continuous sneezing, coughing and breathing difficulties. The amount of dust was so bad, I had to wear a mask to clean the box. I immediately threw it all away and replaced with dust free litter! It also doesn't clump well.
