Ultra by Cat's Pride Micro Crystals Litter with 30-Day Odor Control, 5lbs

I've been using this litter for many years now and order it as part of my month subscribe and save program, which makes it much more convenient and less expensive. I also really love the rewards program they offer (a free bag for every 6 coupons you cut off bag before disposing it) but twice now they never sent me the bags of litter or a check (which they started opting to do during the pandemic, which is very disappointing when I count on it. I love that you don't have to scoop clumps of urine, just pieces of poop. I just mix it up so the pee spot better dissipates. It minorly dusty when pouring it out of the bag but not much after. It's sand-like and doesn't have a strong scent and good about containing any orders. I have one cat now and we use one bag a week in one litter box. As an added tip to my litterbox duties, I lay a disposable pee pad in the litterbox then put a litter liner on top of that and THEN add the litter. The only thing I hate about having an indoor cat is the litterbox! This keeps it so simple to pick up and discard in your trash bag. I have a large litterbox so sometimes I add a second layer of that setup, and when I pick up the first layer the next layer is ready to go. It's super easy and doesn't cost that much more for what I find to be a big convenience of not having to wash out the litterbox every time you need a new batch..

Love this litter. Cat loves it. Smells great.

I have been trying out different crystal litters and tried this because of the fine crystals, low dust and low tracking. I have found that the odor control is not as good as it is with the larger crystals and it is low tracking but it does track and I’m not sure having lots of tiny crystals stick to my feet is better than a few larger ones. I also don’t find that the urine absorption is as good as it is with the larger crystals so I will be going back to those. It’s not terrible just not as good overall.

UPDATE: October 18, 2021 Apparently, the seller reads these reviews. Thank you. I have tried numerous crystal litters but keep coming back to this brand. (Thankfully, the price has gone down to where we can afford it again.) It just is the best. This litter, along with a Johnny Cat liner and disposable litter pan, has made my clean up time a whole lot easier. I just set the Johnny Cat disposable liner in the litter pan, (I buy them at Wally World.) then I set the disposable litter pan on that. (They are for sale here on Amazon and at PetSmart.) They are made with baking soda in them and lasts two weeks with our two cats, and one of them pees a lot. They really do help with urine smell. Both of our boys always pees on one side, of the litter pan. Now, when they do, the disposable box absorbs it. I hated how litter would get soggy and the bottom, of the bin would become stained. So, with it and Ultra Kitty, I have the ideal combination. I am going to love having this set up when our bitter Minnesota winter gets here. Before, I had to put on my outer garments and boots, stand in the freezing cold and dump the litter into our garbage can. Then I had to put that into our trash bin. Now, all I have to do is pull the liner up over the disposable litter pan, tie it and dispose in the garbage. It is just that simple. This sure is going to be great during our freezing Minnesota winters. And, also, at my age, anything that saves my back, keeps me from freezing (in these bitter Minnesota winters) and saves me money, I am all for it. First Review: After trying clay, pine pellets and wheat, I finally, found a litter Max will use. Before, I was cleaning up poo, off my floor, every day. At least, he had the right idea. He would go close to the pan, but hotgo in the pan. Triedltra Micro Crystals. It has changed every thing I hated about litter. It is easy to scoop out the poo, which it neutralizes within seconds. It only takes me a few seconds compared to 10 minutes dealing with litter that stuck to the box and became like wet cement. When I tried using the pine pellets, (I even had a system made for them), the sawdust did not go into the bottom bin like shown on videos. And Max hated them. I mean really hated them. He would pee in it, but he would not poo. A friend gave me an expensive litter that was suppose to indicate if your cat has a kidney or urinary problem. It did nothing for that. Our Kit's kidneys were failing and we didn't have a clue. {That litter didn't show a thing except both cats were urinary healthy.} It did, however, get Max to stop going outside the box. I am one to save a buck wherever I can so I started doing research for a cheaper alternative. That is when I found this. From now on, I am using this litter. It isn't dusty, it stays fresh for a long long time and it is super easy to clean. My pockets thank you. No more struggling to carry a huge litter pan to the bathroom. These crystals are a win win all around. My sanity and health thanks you. After 30 years of lots of cats and every imaginable type of litter, I, finally, found the one I'm sticking with. (Excuse the pun.)

This is my honest review. I was excited to give this a try. Very soft and fine. Holds odor well initially. At the end of two weeks, it was unbearable. Longevity: One bag, one cat, one month - Not at all. One bag lasted me from 8/1 - 8/14 and that was a big stretch! I even stir it 1-2x per day. Can't understand how it would actually last for 30+ days as advertised. I truly had high hopes for this, only to be disappointed. Definitely not saving any money with this if I have to replace it every two weeks.

I used to use regular litter. Then I tried clumping with lovely scents. Then I had my eyes opened to the silica based litters. And I am so happy I found this product. It's been the best litter product I've ever used. Hands down, no lies. And I'm not being paid to say it. I've had cats all my life. And finding litter and a correct litter box has been a lifelong struggle. Until discovering this product, the ModKat litter box, and the Litter Genie Easy Roll Pail. No one likes to clean, or smell a litter box. So finding these products is like heaven. Crystals really absorb the urine and its smell. It dries quickly. Poo dries up also quickly. So this keeps the smell down as well. It has a low dust factor. Let's be honest it's low tracking, but no kind of litter will ever manage to stay inside of the litter pan. It's impossible. I just use a mat to trap most of what makes it out. It doesn't last a month with 2 cats its usually about 3 weeks if cleaned 1-2x daily or more. But for the price point, and based on same kind of litters (Pretty Litter (skip this product it is junk too)) it's worth every penny. I always get compliments that my house doesn't smell. I would not back products I don't believe in or use. But these products are my fave and I use them daily. Just give them a chance, and you'll be a believer too. Simple to use, easy to clean, time saving, and quite simply they all work100% like they are intended and are stated to. Then write your own positive review.

I have been a cat owner for 30 years, and have tried almost every form of cat litter - brand, off brand, clay, pine, corn, clumping, non-clumping, scented, unscented, large crystals - off and on throughout the years. Despite that, I have continued to look for a better litter. We have two cats and two XL litter boxes in furniture-type enclosures. The boxes are scooped at least twice daily. They are washed with baking soda and vinegar, and the litter completely changed, weekly. I am using one 28 lb bag WBCL multi-cat per week. Despite that, I (and the kids) still noticed smell towards the end of the week. I decided to change out only one litter box with UMC and leave our current litter in the second box in case they didn’t like the UMC. It has been 1 week and neither cat has stepped foot into the litter box with WBCL. Odor Control: At 1 week, there is zero odor. All other litters, except for the large crystals, would have started to smell by this time. The stool is completely dried out and scoops easily. Clumping: UMC is non-clumping, but does require stirring daily, especially if your cat prefers to urinate in the same spot in the box. This particular litter does not clump at all, and is definitely not like concrete, as mentioned in other reviews. Cost: Some say it is pricey. It took two bags to very generously fill one XL litter box to more than what half a bag of WBCL would fill. WBCL is costing ~$25/week. If UMC is changed every 2 weeks, the cost will be the same or less than WBCL. Clumping: UMC do not clump. It does not turn into concrete, but does require stirring for odor control. Consistency; UMC has a sand-like consistency. I think the cats like the way it feels on their paws. Odor Control: At 1 week, there is zero odor noted by multiple family members up close and personal with the litter box. Tracking: All litter tracks, including this one - but this litter tracks less than the rest. It does have a fine, sandy quality which some people may not like. I have found thar larger crystals are the worst for tracking, and even track across several rooms. Pine, corn, clay track around a single room. Downside: The litter is a little dusty when stirring. Stir slowly to mix the crystals and avoid dust. Summary: UMC Is the cat litter I will be staying with, and have already set up auto-delivery.

I've endured some of the worst, cheapest litter imaginable given that I have quite literally (not figuratively) lived w/ cats my ENTIRE life. That said, I have never encountered anything quite as bad as this garbage. I have a new kitten & she's not yet been introduced to the automatic litter boxes that the 2 older cats use. If you've never used an automatic box, they usually require a particular type of gel, crystal, silica litter that's quite different from standard clay litter. Most cats need to adjust to the drastic change in texture. The suggested method of doing this is to gradually introduce the gel crystals into the current litter until the box is eventually filled w/ only the gel crystals. This is a relatively quick & simple process that can be done in a week maybe 2, or even a matter of days. So, why bother buying the more expensive crystals when it's only going to be used for a few days, right? WRONG! This useless trash was a world of problems from the MOMENT I opened the bag. I started to cut the corner open & a plume of dust blasted out like nuclear fall-out! I couldn't see or breathe & I was by a large, open window. It was so unbearable that I had to rush outside & pray that the dust hadn't permanently clogged my lungs! (Not literally, obviously... but that's certainly how it felt.) The dust alone was reason enough to toss it out but once I could breathe again I was forced to battle a toxic stench that words can't describe. Once my eyes cleared up I saw that the entire bag was basically a fine powder. More like talcum than "microcrystals" or even fine sand. Refined table salt has larger grains than this litter. I'm sure that it's EXCELLENT at reducing the odor of cat waste but only because the amount of dust & toxic "scent" are too overwhelming to allow for the notice of anything else. I wouldn't unleash this mess on my worst enemy... let alone, my cats! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY... time, your health, &/or that of your cat's on this absolute GARBAGE!

Durabilidad y calidad.

I have one cat that is 4 months old, I ordered this with the following expectations : less dust so it wont get my sinuses acting up, less clutter, smell control, and to last a month. Unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. The dust will linger on my cat causing my throat to get itchy, clutter on the floor was more than minimal which i would have ignored if it was not for the other issues i faced using this litter. After 1.5 weeks the smell control starts deteriorating significantly, i scoop poop at least twice per day and my cat wont use the box if there is poop in it given the smell. Finally the litter barely makes it to 3 weeks without getting super stinky. In my opinion if u dont have bad sinuses and can afford 2 bags a month this is an ok unscented product.

When my cat pee no smell very good

I am very happy with this. I had a melt down one day because my cats kept making a disgusting mess with regular litter and after working all day, I didn't have it in me to clean it up. They'd put litter on the walls, track it all over the floor (their litter box is outside my bedroom door as well so gross litter was the first thing and last thing I saw and smelled all day). I cant believe I didn't buy this before now. With two cats, I can keep a bag for a little less than a month. The smell is contained for about 2 weeks at a time, then the last week I really need to clean it again. I'm also only using one bag for two cats which is less than what is recommended and I understand that. This litter has made my life so much easier, it tracks less and so easy to clean up. It doesn't stick to the litter box like clay litter. I now have this product on auto ship. I was concerned about the health of this for my cats, but after reading more about silica, I learned it is the dust that is harmful. This is not dusty. When you pour it, don't inhale, it's leaving the bag it's lived in and going somewhere else. It makes sense that the smell is a bit strong. If you are starting to hate your cats because of the mess and smells they make, please for the sake of your own sanity buy this litter. My only wish is that the bag was bigger. Because it has made my life better, I have given 5 stars.

Es bieno pero suelta polvo y hace que mi gato estornude
