“I don't like the earthy smell of the litter in general. The texture reminds me of rolled oats, which isn't a problem, but it tracks really bad. It is low dust, which is a plus. Odor control is poor. It starts to smell bad after 5 days, even with stirring and waste removal. I had to discard my last two boxes.”
“I’m very pleased with the diatomite litter and box. Haven’t noticed any odor at all and the urine really does “disappear”. The only issue I have is the tracking. (Might have something to do with my cat running in and out of the box at a million miles a hour )”
“Three cats, four boxes. Definitely low dust compared to the fine grain silica litter. The cats track it everywhere though and you'll need to sweep a lot more often. I appreciate that the more used it gets, the less oder than the silica.”
“I love thé disposable litter boxes with silica. Thought we’d switch to diatomite to reduce dust, and it was a huge mistake. Within a week our laundry room (where we keep the litter box) smelled so bad of ammonia it was hard to walk in there at all. After 1 box of this (which didn’t last more than a week) we switched back to silica fine grain.”
“I accidentally ordered the diatomite litter instead of the fine silica litter. What a huge misktake! The litter stinks terribly after about two weeks, even when scooping daily. The product description also claims the litter is non tracking, which is completely false. It gets everywhere! Two litter mats didn’t help.”
