With all due respect this litter is amazing, actually. I’ve had cats my whole life, we currently have six cats. When I first saw this review I was a bit dismayed, we had just bought a bag and changed over from Tidy-cat. The most impressive thing about the walnut litter is how well it absorbs Urine smell. Cleaning the boxes is WAY less smelly now, and the dust is, actually, way less. It also can be vacuumed up easier because it’s lighter than the conventional litters. The actual smell of the litter is very agreeable, I’d call it “woodsy”. We kept one of the boxes for a few weeks with the Tidy Cat litter, and the cats stopped using it. They much prefer the Walnut litter. Honestly, it’s a game changer at our six cat home. Just thought I would post this because my wife and I were quite surprised after viewing this video that the review was so bad- the Walnut Litter is really good, and none of our white pawed cats have brown stains after a month, not sure what that’s all about. We’ve been using this litter for about six weeks.
I appreciate you're feed back... we've been using Tidy-Cat for a long time but I think I'll give this litter a try as per your experience.
I have just begun using this litter and have found it to be dust free and doesn't track any worse than any other. Use a litter mat and it's great. I am very sensitive to litter dust and scented litters. This is great on both fronts
I really liked this litter. I found putting baking soda at the bottom of the box before and putting the litter on top of it to help with additional odour control.
This was VERY helpful! Thank you for doing all the work and sharing your findings. ❤
I’ve been looking into different kinds of litter because I’m researching lots of stuff to prepare for getting a cat. This review was EXTREMELY helpful for me since this was at the top of the list of interest for possibilities. I know other people have said that they’ve really enjoyed the litter even with the dust, but I have to find the least dusty litter possible that’s still good for my future cat since I’m in a household that requires little to no dust (or dander but I’ve been researching that too) around the area. So thank you so much for this review! ❤
This litter is great!! I don’t have an issue with odor as I scoop daily. The litter is a bit dusty but not a terrible issue for me. I noticed that when the litter was fresh out of the bag that the clumps seemed fragile, but as the litter sits in the pan and dries out, the clumping is much better. Also, you can not let this litter or any litter for that matter get too low, other wise you will run into issues with it sticking to the bottom of the pan. I keep the litter topped off and every clump is intact every time, no sticking. I currently have this litter mixed with corn litter, but I think I will try mixing it with grass seed litter next. Grass seed litter is by far the very best for clumping, but it goes fast!! So mixing it with either walnut or corn makes it last much much longer, as you will get the absorbency benefits of walnut shells combined with the clumping benefits of the grass seed litter.
Agreed,I've been using grass seed litter for a couple years,so light and easy,they like it,and you never get that clay concrete!
@@517oceanfront sweet!!! I’ll never go back to clay. Grass seed, corn, and walnut are certainly much better alternatives.
@@yellowtrain3161 I was pleasantly surprised first time I got grass seed litter, it was so lightweight, faint grass scent, the cats loved it,and it handled the box smell fairly good,easy clumps lift right out!
My vet told me the ideal way to use alternatives like this is to lay newspaper at the bottom, use a relatively thin layer of litter, and essentially discard and replace every day (or every bowel movement).
What are your thoughts on corn starch adding it for clumping support? I heard, which could be wrong , that corn starch is added to the corn litter for its clumping.
Thank you for the video and the information about this type of litter. Much Appreciated.
Thanks for the review! I will do one with scoop away
I use this litter and am very satisfied with it. No problem what-so-ever.
I was doing my research about this litter and came across this video, I have three cats and a dog, thank you for taking the time to do this, but on a side note, I wanted to add, if you have dogs, walnut shells are highly toxic to them and I know some dogs can get into litter boxes, some know what I'm talking about, but if this gets tracked all over, I'd be worried about my pup, and also the dust would concern me, especially since cats can easily get respiratory infections.
Yes you definitely need to scoop daily with this one!! If you don’t, the ammonia smell can get SO bad.
thats why ur supposed to clean it every time the cats use the box. No litter can stop the smell of waste, its ur job to clean it. I clean mine 3 times a day. Its the equivalent of not flushing ur toilet, of course its going to smell.
Litter boxes should be scooped daily regardless of what type of litter is being used.
This is probably the most critical video I’ve seen of NaturallyFresh. But you make very valid points. It is rather dusty especially the more you run the bag down as the dust settles on the bottom. Tracking is definitely noticeable. Even more noticeable cause of the color which can be a dealbreaker. Unless you have a long matching floor mat or rug or even floors. I found that this clump better than pine and corn fibers. Granted I’m using the MultiCat version which has better clumping agents than the quick clumping version?. Can’t confirm here. Others that have tried both versions can chime in. Odor Control is excellent. Oh and my cat who also has white paws doesn’t actually brown which actually made me look at her paws and they’re still white. I will keep monitoring it but so far I’m very satisfied with it.
A Month later, I stopped using it. The dust started to become more evident the more I used it and the more I ran down the bag. It got progressively worse. Clumping wise it was very good. But the dust storm is such a deal breaker.
Have you thought about trying the walnut non-clumping pellets from the same brand. Would LOVE a review from you!
I love this litter, it does have dust but keep it in the laundry room, love Oder and it clumps great it does track but have a mesh rug and r that helps
I appreciate this review so much and wish I had read it before I bought the giant bag. I keep the litter box in a closet in my spare bedroom. The entire room and hallway are covered in cat litter. Like, I vacuumed yesterday and the litter is back less than 24 hours later. The clumps are impossible to scoop because they fall apart the second I touch them with the scoop. Except for the clumps on the bottom, which are like cement. Now I’m desperately trying to use up this giant bag so I can try clumping wood litter.
Thanks for reviewing this brand. I was thinking of purchasing it, however the dust was a no for me. My kitty has a covered box, and the thoughts of her having to breathe in all that dust while she is doing her business is not something I wish her to have to deal with. So again thank you for the review :-)
Some other videos say that the walnut dust is still better than the clay dust. And the walnut dust won't hurt them long term.
I have all covered litterboxes too and shared in the comments on my experience, which has been completely different than this lady’s
So what kind of dust would you have the cat ingest? Atleast this one is much more safe
Covered litter boxes are a big No
@@YUNGxFABO my cats seem pretty happy with there’s plus they like sleeping in enclosed spaces.
I tried this stuff years ago and found it so dusty that my white bathroom had a layer of dark brown dust. That was the first and last time I used it. For me it wasn't worth the dust and mess. Thanks for the review.
I took footage of the walk abs baseboard around the litter box but it didn’t make it into the final footage. I figure the paw discoloration was enough said hahaha
I'm Not buying this.
Have you tried using a litter mat to minimize tracking?
I like this litter….I should say my cat likes this litter. He will not pee in the box when I have used several other kind. I have a mat down that catches the litter, his paws do not get dusty like it does with corn. My cats are grey and black so the lighter color litter turns their paws yellowish unlike yours that turns your brown…I do put baking soda down when I clean their box which holds down any smell. I like this litter will not get mold like the tofu and corn ones can.
I started using this and have the Red bag as it's branded as multi-cat (I have 2).
My complains:
1. When my cats bury their poo, the litter doesnt adhere well enough to the poo. So the smell permeates outside the box
2. In connection to the first point, the odour masking ability so far is 3/5 to me
I mask when I refill and clean the box so the dust doesnt bother me. As for tracking I have the double layer cat pad so their paws are clean by the time they step on the floor
I have yet to fully put a rating on it. So far it's ok because I really dislike the ammonia smell found on cheap litter. It gives me a headache and it cant be good for your health
thats why ur supposed to clean it every time the cats use the box. No litter can stop the smell of waste, its ur job to clean it. I clean mine 3 times a day. Its the equivalent of not flushing ur toilet, of course its going to smell.
Hi, Which litter do you feel is the best?
One of my cat sitting clients uses this and I was surprised at how well it works for odor control. When a cat makes a fecal deposit you're going to smell it if you're close by, I don't think any litter can immediately absorb that. If you know of one, let me know, especially if it's all natural. One of my cats doesn't cover her deposits and there is a smell but I've found using rocco & Roxie litter box odor eliminator really helps with that. I just mix that in occasionally or in the moment and the smell is gone. It does track but i find it only tracks in the hallway closet where I keep my cats litter box. I'm sure if I put a mst down it would help but it's not that big a deal for me. I love naturally fresh. Everyone's experience will be different and it works for me.
Love naturally fresh it's the best in my opinion
I’m shocked by this review! I’ve been using this litter for 4 boxes, and 7 cats and 2 weeks. I’ve loved it! I switched from being a loooooong time (10+ yrs!) user of pine pellets because my newest kitten was badly allergic. I was looking for a video on how to refresh the litterbox to separate out non clumped used litter and came across this video. For every con mentioned on her trial run, I have had the opposite experience and am baffled. I don’t smell pee at all. Only poop and only when scooping/close up. Pee doesn’t seem to clump- its the loose stools of poop that is clumping only. No dust, almost no tracking (I actually wonder if her kitties are kicking litter out of their boxes when covering their waste?), and my cats with white socks/feet, have no stains and still have white feet. But, that doesn’t invalidate any of this lady’s experiences. More just says “try it for yourself cause you may have a totally different experience”
Walnut does not clump as well as clay but it does clump well if you know how to scoop. You just need to scoop it with care and it should be fine, clay may be convenient and easy to clean waste but it's a known carcinogen and can trigger asthma in cats and people, it is also not enviromentally friendly as clay litter, as it promotes Strip mining, which damages the enviroment. Clay when discarded also does not biodegrade and is left in landfills which take up lots of space. But overall, no litter is going to get rid of smell. Litter should not be about smell, The focus and benefit is a no risk of developing asthma or cancer and that it's enviromentally friendly. Thats why ur supposed to clean it every time the cats use the box. No litter can stop the smell of waste, its ur job to clean it. I have 3 fur-babies, and I clean mine 3 times a day. Its the equivalent of not flushing ur toilet, of course its going to smell! If people can't maintain a routine, they shouldn't own a cat.
I agree! I just got my first cat (so take my opinion somewhat lightly) but I have house sat countless felines and almost all of my friends and close family have more than one cat, so I feel like I am at least knowledgeable about certain aspects of litter. There are a couple people in my life whose homes always smell like "cat" so I asked everyone I knew what litter they used (sneakily knowing I might avoid whatever litter the "smelly" houses used hah) and what I found is that any scented litter seems to make the house smell worse and MORE like cat pee/ammonia. That being said, it made me wonder if they were cleaning their boxes less, in hopes that the scent was masking any bad odors? No one I asked used walnut litter, (everyone used regular clay litter, mostly unscented except for the couple mentioned above) but I really wanted to use a natural and environmentally friendly one and I'm allergic to grass (so grass seed is out) and I didn't like the way the coconut litters seemed to be too messy and tricky to clean. So far, I have noticed no ammonia smell from this at all, only poop smell immediately afterwards and so I scoop it out immediately. But I can smell poo with other litters immediately too. I have only had my cat for a few days so I'll update once the litter is a bit more "seasoned," but so far I love that I can't smell the pee at all when I'm scooping, unlike most other litters I've used when cat sitting.
Oh also, I also noticed NO dust at all. Like whatsoever...so that's weird! I wonder if she got a bad bag? There are only a few small bits of tracking right in front of the boxes on the mats as expected, and the rugs right next to the boxes are white and I haven't seen any brown stains or paw prints at all either. As for clumping, I am immediately scooping, so I wonder if it gets more brittle over time as it sits? I haven't had any trouble scooping. There are just a few small pieces that break off but are easy enough to scoop again. Even the pee is clumping for me. It's not "perfection" like some clay litters, but it's one extra scoop so I don't mind at all.
big fan of the sweatshirt! can i ask where u got it from?
It’s from a small online UK shop called threads2020. (threads2020.co.uk/)
I Always use an Open litter box. I use Feline Pine. I tried Oko Soft litter. I think it's Good. I was thinking about this litter. But I'm not sure we about it.
I tried soft wood too,dreaming of a woodsy,outdoor scent...nah,not happening! Like fluffy sawdust,gets everwhere!
After starting to use this litter my cat starting to have a more nasaly whistle/wheeze to her breathing very subtle bur still noticible. This is most likely from how dust it is. Have such a hard time with cleaning and sifting with how bad the dust is.
Also tracking is terrible and use two different mats and it still tracks.
For smells you can definitely tell when she just went poo and you smell it for a while and the pee clumps crumble so easily.
Can you try smart cat all natural clumping litter
Exactly! Smell is only when you don’t clean daily. At least twice a day
thats why ur supposed to clean it every time the cats use the box. No litter can stop the smell of waste, its ur job to clean it. I clean mine 3 times a day. Its the equivalent of not flushing ur toilet, of course its going to smell. people who complain it stinks are likely lazy people who don't keep a clean routine.
What is the ingredient that helps in clumping?
Clay is just as dusty, and less eco friendly. If I'm not using pellets, or run out - I will buy this brand. Over the corn variety, for sure. Doesn't clump well at all, but I can deal with that.
Additional con I found…little brown footprints on all the (white) window sills. I used the Multi-cat and found that clumped well. I am not the best housekeeper anyway but I couldn’t take the little brown footprints everywhere.
🥲 that is gross. Thanks for sharing! I never saw brown footprints since my floor it’s gray brown and my window sills are far away.
Thanks for sharing, I am looking for a low tracking litter and saw this litter, almost decided to place an order… after viewing this, this is definitely not I want lol
Just cancelled my Amazon order,going to stick with grass seed,easy to deal with...
Y'all missin out cuz walnut litter is the best !
Did you just recomment tofu as litter?
Have you tried the coconut litter yet? I be interesting in the non clumping version seeing I use wood Pellets
I haven’t! I will put it on my list! Any particular brand you recommend?
@@SvenandRobbie i have only seen one brand. ( Catspot)
@@SvenandRobbie Just to point out. No litter is going to get rid of smell, but I definately do like walnut litter as I have transitioned to clay after finding out clay is a known carcinogen and that its made from strip mining. Thats why ur supposed to clean it every time the cats use the box. No litter can stop the smell of waste, its ur job to clean it. I clean mine 3 times a day. Its the equivalent of not flushing ur toilet, of course its going to smell. Best of all, even tho walnut litter CAN be dust (not all are), the dust is not harmful and will breakdown inside ur body unlike clay that does not biodegrade and can stay in ur lungs for a long time. If people can't keep a daily routine and keep the box fresh they shouldn't own a cat.
I love this brand. I don’t like this particular option from the brand. I recommend the the yellow bag one. That one is best.
I didn’t know they made others! I will have to give that a test
Thank you for this I just bought the yellow and was thinking oh no did I screw myself. I don't want to get wood because I heard the dust could cause cancer and pellets my cats do not like.
Just switched to the same brand and kind today but pellets..
Tried it and it left dark dust all over everything. Never had the problem with clumping clay litter at all.
clay litter is a known carcinogen and is not envriomentally friendly and destroys landscapes.
Why do people use uncovered litter boxes and then expect the litter to not get all over the floor? I use this litter, and my cats white paws are not brown. First of all , I have a covered box which helps keep the litter inside and secondly, there’s a litter-trapping mat outside the box which controls the spread of litter on the floor and helps remove it from their paws
what litter do you use the most ?
I use pine pellets
Try Sustainably yours.
He looks like my kitty.
What Litter do you like the Best?
I personally like pine pellets but I know that isn’t for everyone since it’s a sifting litter. For clumping I love Sustainably Yours, Worlds Best, and Arm and Hammer Hardball (testing right now, stay tune for review!)
Could you PLEASE DO A REVIEW FOR ARM AND HAMMER HARDBALL ? IS IT A CLAY LITTER? I DONT BUY CLAY ANYMORE.
I ALSO LIKE FELINE PINE ALSO. HAVE YOU TRIED THE CLUMPING FELINE PINE ? THAT IS ALSO GOOD. HAVE A GOOD DAY ..
So what do you use?
I love pine pellets. For clumping w ruse sustainably yours or arm and hammer hardball
Clay litter is not environmentally friendly, as its made by strip mining, clay is also a known carcinogen to cats and people, as it is very dusty and the dust will stay in ur lungs for a long time. Your cat can develope asthma from clay litter and can cause lung cancer. I'd say walnut is definitely a good alternative since it is natural and is very similar to clay in terms of clumping. Clumping is not as firm so you do need to scoop more carefully. There is also virtually no dust, and while some do have dust, walnut dust is harmless and can be dealt with by ur immune system, and will break down if caught in ur lungs. also know that no litter can completely get the rid of ammonia or poop stench, this is why ur supposed to clean it every time the cats use the box. No litter can stop the smell of waste, its ur job to clean it. I clean mine 3 times a day. Its the equivalent of not flushing ur toilet, of course its going to smell and thats what ur doing if you don't clean it as a routine.
I didn’t like this. I still like the pine pallets.
I absolutely hated this litter. Since it’s dark you’d have no idea if your cat had a health issue like blood in their urine. Also it was so dusty my cats paws would be covered in brown dust when they got out of their box and then they’d try to lick it off and ingesting clumping litter is LIFE THREATENING!!! I used it for about 3 days before throwing it all out :\
I doubt she actually tested this. It was superior to clay for me.
This made me hate cats even more
Just subscribed...thx for this...
