So, the other day I was at the pet store, just browsing around, and I came across this Purina Yesterday’s News cat litter. I’ve been using the same old clay litter for years, and honestly, I was getting a bit tired of the dust and the tracking. Plus, my little furball, Mittens, she’s got these sensitive paws, you know? So I thought, why not give this a try?
First off, this stuff is made from recycled paper. That’s pretty cool, right? Good for the planet and all that. It comes in these little pellets, which is way different from the usual sandy stuff. I grabbed a bag, took it home, and decided it was time for a litter box overhaul.
I dumped out the old litter—man, that dust cloud is always a pain—and gave the box a good scrub. Then, I poured in the Yesterday’s News. It was weird not having that gritty texture, but the pellets seemed to fill the box nicely. Mittens, of course, was immediately curious. She hopped in, sniffed around, did her little digging ritual, and then gave me this look like, “What is this, human?”
But she used it! No complaints. And you know what? The odor control is surprisingly good. Like, way better than I expected. It’s been a few days now, and there’s barely any smell. Plus, no dust! My allergies are thanking me. And those sensitive paws of Mittens? She seems to be doing just fine. No more irritated little toe beans.
- Odor Control: Seriously impressive. Big thumbs up.
- Dust: Non-existent. My apartment is much cleaner.
- Tracking: Minimal. Those pellets don’t stick to her fur like the old stuff.
- Absorption: Works like a charm. No soggy mess at the bottom of the box.
- Mittens’ Verdict: She’s adjusted to it just fine. A happy cat equals a happy me.
Here’s the lowdown after a week:
So, yeah, I’m pretty happy with this Purina Yesterday’s News stuff. It’s a bit pricier than the regular clay litter, but for me, the benefits are worth it. Less mess, better odor control, and it’s eco-friendly. I think Mittens and I have found our new go-to litter. If you’re thinking about switching things up, I’d say give it a shot. You might be pleasantly surprised, just like I was.
