Product Description
Flavor: Micro Crystals | Size: 5-Pound Pouch
The newest innovation from the company that introduced North America to its first silica cat litter is Ultra Micro Crystals. Like Ultra Pearls, the new Ultra Micro Crystals are made from high quality ingredients that deliver superior results. Ultra Micro Crystals are different because they are soft on the cats’ paws while offering superior absorption and odor control. Each small silica gel crystal is able to absorb its weight in urine. The silica gel will then let the moisture evaporate while trapping the odor controlling substances inside the crystals. Keeping the litter box odor free for a month is as simple as daily removal of solid waste from the litter box and a few moments spent stirring and raking the silica to turn the crystals so those on the bottom are brought to the top to aid the evaporation process. Please ask your favorite grocery store to stock Ultra Micro Crystals and Ultra Pearls so you can get the best odor control in a cat friendly litter.

I bought one bag each of the micro crystals and the Pearl crystals by Ultra Pet. Having used Fresh Step Crystals since my two cats joined the family over a year ago, I didn't want to shock them with the switch so I tried the Pearls first as they are larger crystals. I layered the Pearls with a thin carpet of Fresh Step crystals and they seemed to take to it well enough. The odor control was equivalent (superb) to Fresh Step which is a big thumbs up from me and the two "boys".
After finishing that bag, I went to the Micro Crystals. Before I could even start to put a layer of the Fresh Step on top, one of the cats leaped into the box and basically started dancing around in the litter. I don't know if it's because of the sand-like quality compared to the hard, rough crystals but he was literally having a ball just spinning around in the box. I guess it took his brother shoving him out to go do his business for the first one to figure out it's not to play in!
All in all, both products I tried were superb quality and highly absorbent with long lasting odor control. I'll be purchasing the Micro Crystals because it's easier on MY feet considering they do tend to throw this all over the floor before they "go". It's unfortunate that there's a 3 week shipping delay and there's no subscribe & save option. If not for those issues, I would make the full switch over to Ultra Pet litters.

Having had a cat since 1986 (two cats in a row), I have tried everything out there. A friend recommended this to me about 2 yrs ago and it is hte best litter, hands down. I pay 8.99 regular price at Publix or $7.99 on sale. I never see coupo buy in th paper offered by the vendor. But, I am willing to pay the higher price. Amazon's price is ridiculous. Wish I could buy it in bulk. But 8.99 for a full month is fine, too. I change the box, and my air filter every month when I pay by mortgage. This way , I never forget either. Whether you buy the Pearls or the Micro is a matter of your cats' preference, as both work equally as well.
