Great alternative to clay!,
This review is from: Yesterdays News Original Cat Litter - 30 lb (Misc.)
I HATE clay litter. Most of them have perfumes which I'm sensitive to, and the pieces get stuck in the cats' paws. Since my husband insists on allowing his cat to sleep in the bed with us (I don't mind this) the pieces of clay litter also ended up in the bed, and as you can imagine (or perhaps don't have to imagine) those pieces are incredibly uncomfortable to lie on. I also never enjoyed stepping on them on the floor. There's also the dust issue. I tried Swheat Scoop, which I was happy with because it didn't have such a perfume smell to it and it was made from a more renewable resource, but it's VERY dusty. More so, I thought, than the clay litter had been. So I went back to clay litter for a time, then found Feline Pine clumping litter. It was softer, so if pieces made it to our bed, I couldn't feel them, but the pieces that got onto our microfiber furniture were very hard to remove. I liked this for a short while...it worked well enough, but my husband complained about the furniture issue and I couldn't clean the litter box without a layer of dust coating the lenses of my glasses. I soon realized there was a film from it on my bathroom door, floor, and everywhere else.
We had always used clumping litters, so I was hesitant to try a non-clumping version, but I really liked the idea of Yesterday's News. I've been using it for a month or two now and I'm very happy with it. There really isn't any dust and no pieces make their way to our bed or the furniture. The cats kick a few pieces out onto the floor when they leave the litter box, but nothing is getting stuck in their paws and the pieces on the floor are easy to see so I can avoid stepping on them. Another review talked about how difficult it is to clean the litter box with Yesterday's News. I, too, have 2 cats and I initially tried cleaning out the feces and urine-soaked pieces of litter, and also found it near impossible (much more with the urine-soaked pieces than the feces). The urine actually sinks to the bottom, so I have to agree with the other reviewer that it would be good if there was a way to just remove the bottom 1/4 of the litter. But I've found that with my 2 cats, it's easiest to just change the litter box completely every 4 days or so. This may seem like a waste, but given the amount of clean litter I was scooping out while trying to clean out the soiled litter, I think it's an even exchange. I think I've finally found a litter that both my husband and I can be happy with. :)

Excellent concept, poor implementation,

This review is from: Yesterdays News Original Cat Litter - 30 lb (Misc.)
The idea of using recycled newspaper for cat litter is awesome. A great re-use for a used product in ample supply.
Unfortunately, as cat litter it falls way short, in my opinion. I've had cats most of my life, usually 2 in the house at the same time since 1988. I've tried both clumping and non-clumping litter for over a decade each. I saw this "Yesterday's News" product for the first time about 6 months ago, thought it was a great concept and thought I'd give it a try. The litter is very absorbent, as it claims to be, and also not dusty like clumping litters. But aside from that, it has downsides: --Difficult to find and remove soiled litter. It absorbs but doesn't clump. So getting rid of the urine-soaked pieces versus the non-soiled pieces is a challenge. Ideally you'd like to completely remove the bottom 1/4 inch of litter pieces in the box, but of course that's very difficult. Finding feces pieces is also a bit tough since the litter is similarly-colored. --Very stinky to change. While I did my best to remove used pieces as the box was being used, a lot of them remained and when it came to time change the entire box it was just about the smelliest and most urine-y litter box cleanup job I've ever had to deal with. --Congealed bottom pieces also a challenge. Since it's difficult to remove the used pieces, they would tend to congeal at the bottom of the pan. And for me, trying to scoop that congealed layer would cause the scoop to slip sending litter flying out of the box and all over the floor. Now, I admit there might be better ways to change the whole box, but this was a real bummer for me. So maybe I didn't follow the directions closely enough or maybe I don't *get* it, but no cat litter should be this difficult and unpleasant to use. Therefore I don't recommend this cat litter. It might be good for specific implementations like for folks who truly have bad health problems with other litters' dust or if you have sick cats, but for routine use it doesn't cut the mustard. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 only because using recycled newspaper is a good concept and it does indeed absorb well. I'll be going back to clumping litters which are easiest and best to use IMHO.

I love this litter!!!,
This review is from: Yesterdays News Original Cat Litter - 30 lb (Misc.)
I absolutely love this kitty litter! I don't know what others are referring to when they say they have a hard time scooping it. Maybe my scooper has larger slots in it than most so the unused pellets fall through.. As far as the pellets that have been peed on, where are your troubles coming from? I clean the litter box daily and have no issues scooping out anything. I love that this a recycled product, less waste for the earth. Plus you don't get the dusty smell of the clay litters.
