Litter Pearls Crystal Clear

UPDATE: 1/18/2025 I'm still in love with Litter Pearls Micro Crystals Unscented Non-Clumping Crystal Cat Litter with Odorbond, 7 lb, White, Clear and Blue Crystals (LPMC7) Purchased 18 times - Last purchased Jan 16, 2025 1 cat - 30 days 2 cats - 20 days 3 cats - 10 days You can "monitor" to see how long between full change is needed. You will be able to tell because the silica crystals get saturated. You will also be able to tell as well from the color of the silica crystal. Great odor control and cleaning, wiping my babies' litter box (Litter Robot) is so EASY. No sticky clumps of clumping litter. My babies love it. Has the same texture as the sand-like clumping litter but a lot lighter in weight. I can't say enough except try, love it and get the word out. This stuff is AWESOME! Thank you Litter Pearls Micro Crystals Unscented Non-Clumping Crystal Cat Litter with Odorbond! UPDATE: 2/6/2024 Still agreeing with my original review. I was so used to stepping through litter. It took me a few days to realize, I'm not walking through tracked litter anymore! No smell, the litter box stays clean with an easy wipe down once every 1-2 weeks. No litter sticking to the sides of the box and more. LOVE this litter! ORIGINAL: 1/24/2024 Litter Pearls Micro Crystals Unscented Non-Clumping Crystal Cat Litter with Odorbond, 7 lb, White, Clear and Blue Crystals (LPMC7) *****Make sure you get this one, not the clumping or other. Clumping has the sand texture, but sticks. The others seem to have the rough, irregular hard, sharp shapes.***** I have been using for 3-4 weeks. I love this litter and so does my furr baby!!!!! It is PURRRRFECT. Non-clumping and pretty much non-tracking. No order, it is soft, like the texture of most sand like clumping litters. This made transition with my kitties easy, truly, non-existent transition. I have a Litter Robot 4 and Litter Pearls Micro Crystals Unscented Non-Clumping Crystal Cat Litter with Odorbond, 7 lb, White, Clear and Blue Crystals (LPMC7) litter is definitely non-stick and AWESOME. I struggled with most clay litters sticking and very messy. Litter pearls only needs a simple wipe down after the empty and done. I use Pet Wet Wipes and they get the job done easily. Depending on how many furr babies you have will depend upon how ofter you empty. With one using the indoor potty box and one the outdoor, once every 2-3 weeks. Can I say it again, I LOVE THIS STUFF! What makes this litter perfect for Litter robot? Litter robot scoops the hard waist, and "stirs" the litter for you. I love this stuff!!! I did an indpendent review of a few silica litters at my own cost. No freebies. Other silica litters were chunky, hard and sharp and are a definite no. One from this brand was a clump version. I did not like it, it stuck to my litter robot sides. Plus my clumbsy ole man, keeps stepping in it and it ends up everywhere like he did with regular clay clumping litter. lol This stuff no clumping, no tracking, my lil ole man paws stay clean and I do not have litter through out my house. Litter Pearls Micro Crystals Unscented Non-Clumping Crystal Cat Litter with Odorbond, 7 lb, White, Clear and Blue Crystals (LPMC7), you product ROCKS! I thank you, and my kities do too.

I'm in the final stage of terminal cancer with too much time on my hands! LOL Brushing my bare feet off every time I get out of bed, or finding tracked litter on my sheets had nearly driven me nuts, so I decided to do an experiment and went on a mission to find the very best litter out there! As a cat owner, you already know the many issues cat litter brings, and I was determined to find one that (a) controlled odor, (b) was easy to clean daily, (c) had low/no dust, and, (d) MOST importantly for me - no tracking! I've purchased every single brand I could find, prices being no factor in each one i bought, & each month changed the brand for the best results. Well, let me tell you - THIS IS IT! I have NO more litter in my bed, floors, etc., or stuck to her paws each time she exited the box! (I purchased the "trackless" type of Litter Pearls since this was my main complaint.) It controlled the odor for an entire month, it barely stuck to the "poop" in the box which made it easy to scoop & had little to no dust, the urine absorbed quickly and was also easy to scoop if needed (but is not meant to clump or scoop out - only absorb) and I barely needed to vacuum the floors daily like I have with EVERY other brand of litter! This stuff is awesome! It looks very similar to Pretty Litter but has no urine monitoring feature. I have to admit, it took me months to work down the list, and still have several more brands sitting here, but I'll be donating them to a shelter and NEVER switching from this one in the future! What a delight this product is, and has made my life SO much easier. Again, I did not compare prices, but to find something it actually claims to do is priceless & of no concern for me! If she's still alive when I pass, at least I'll know her foster or permanent human(s) will know what brand I use & hopefully continue to use it too. She's old & can be finicky sometimes, but she took right to the Litter Pearls and had no problems. If I could give it 10 stars, I'd give them ALL to this litter brand - because they definitely nailed it! Bravo!

I have used this product for 30 days now, and totally agree with the other reviewer who said that the negative reviews for Litter Pearls Micro Crystals were because of "user error". I've tried many cat litters and have used Feline Pine original (non-clumping) for at least 14 years. It's an excellent product that eliminates urine odors completely, and is safe for poop to be flushed down the toilet. But recently, my young girl kitty started to develop bleeding ear sores and blisters, and after ruling out food allergies, etc., we traced it to the Feline Pine--perhaps it was a reaction to whatever oils remain in the product after kiln-drying, but we just don't know. While researching new litter, I wanted something of a benign, non-chemical/non-scented nature. And I also remembered that my two cats seemed to like Feline Pine best when it was almost ready to be changed (i.e., soft sawdust and not pine nugets) so I decided to try this product--which is the exact texture of beach sand. Both cats immediately preferred it: during the switchover, I kept one box of Feline Pine and one of the Micro Crystals, and neither cat touched the Feline Pine for the two week "test period". And, after one month of use, my cat's ear sores have mostly healed. Following product directions, I use 2" of Micro Crystals in our two litter boxes: the boxes are 12x18" and 15x22". I've found that cats seem to like two different-sized boxes, for whatever kitty reason! As a note, the girl weighs 9 lbs., the boy weighs 10 lbs., which may give a better idea of our usage rate--which is one 7-lb. bag per month. With every poop, I scoop and flush. One of my must-haves in terms of litter performance is that whatever clings to the feces has to be flushable. The Litter Pearls package and website says that the few bits of silica coating the feces are not a problem for septic systems, and I've had no issues. Regarding usage, you absolutely MUST sift, swirl and "mash" the urine clumps in the silica to break them up and redistribute them into the remaining litter, otherwise you get hard lumps and clumps that cling to the sides and bottom of the box--this is what might make it appear that the litter is "used up". It takes a little longer to mash and sift the urine clumps than it did with the Feline Pine, and while this is slightly annoying, it seems a reasonable tradeoff so that my cat does not have ear blisters. There is a slight urine odor as soon as the cats pee, and right after I mash/sift, but that goes away completely after a few minutes--there is no urine odor at any other time. As others have mentioned, the litter starts out as blue and white silica sand granules, and over time, as it desiccates the urine, it turns into a green and white color, which I suppose is an indicator of when it's absorbed as much urine as it can. Regarding tracking, I keep our two litter boxes in a bathtub we don't use, and we only get a slight dusting of silica sand on the edge of the tub that I easily sweep back into a litter box. I've seen very small amounts of sand in the bathroom and elsewhere, but as another reviewer said, it's far less painful to step on sand in the middle of the night, than onto nuggets of hard clay or Feline Pine. I do have two issues with this product. First, when changing the litter and also when I mash/sift the urine clumps, the litter does give off a very noticeable silica dust, enough that it makes it uncomfortable to breathe. When doing the mashing/sifting, I literally have to hold my breath--and it takes about 4-5 "breath holds" to complete the job. I have some surgical masks that I think I'll start using, because it really is a bit overwhelming to me. The second issue I have is price. As I said, one 7-pound bag will last 30 days for my two cats. At $22 per bag, that's .73 cents per day--expensive. But since my cat's ears are better, I'll stick with this for now. The real test will be the summer months, when it's hot--and I'll see how well the urine odor is controlled under those circumstances.

I love this litter! I have tried almost everything on the market and it is so superior that I wish I'd had it for previous cats. Check the date on the reviews which complain of dust. I think the company must have fixed that problem as I have no dust at all. It's soft on the paws of my kitten and she no longer flings litter all over the room while trying to get sharp pieces off her feet. I did the owner test and pushed my hands into this clumping litter versus the non clumping and versus Pretty Litter. I found the Pretty Litter to be much sharper and the Litter Pearls non-clumping to be about the same as the clumping Litter Pearls. Clumping is a bit easier to clean. I did buy a large Amazon chenille bath mat to put under the box and it traps whatever small pieces of litter have stuck to her feet. I just take it outside to shake. I haven't tried all the Litter Pearls variations but the unscented clumping so far is my favorite. I see very little difference between the clumping and the non-clumping but the clumping is so much easier to maintain. A quick scoop and the box is cat approved clean. My suggestion is to put at least 3" minimum in the box so that nothing has a chance to stick to the bottom of the box. Yes it is more expensive than most other litters but in my book it's worth every penny. My friend who was using the bathroom even commented that there was no cat odor at all.

After 3 bags, I'm torn on this litter. There's a lot I like about it, a few things I don't, but all in all I am not sure it is worth it. Pros: Lightweight bag: beats hauling around heavy bags / boxes of clay litter. Tidier around the litter box: Cat doesn't seem to throw it everywhere quite as much as clay litter. Easy / Less To Scoop: You're really just scooping solids, not big clods of clumped urine. So daily scooping is pretty quick and easy, and you have less matter to dispose of regularly. Easy periodic empty / replace: It doesn't stick to the pan near as much as clay. Again, it's lighter. Dump it in a trash bag, refill, no problem. Notice though that I say 'periodic' not monthly, though the instructions say to empty monthly... see cons below. Covers odor very well: While it works, it works really well, don't smell the catbox at all in the first week or so of a fresh batch, and my cat isn't amazing about burying his loads. Unfortunately, this effect wears off quickly, see cons. Cons: Dusty: And the dust seems... unnatural. Something I don't want myself or my cat to be breathing. Mostly just an issue when you stir it... which you do daily after scooping. Hard to gauge half a bag: Supposedly this bag will last 1 cat 2 months. So, pour in half the bag, scoop daily, dump pan after a month and pour in the other half of the bag. I never seem to manage equal halves, and half the bag really doesn't seem like enough of a layer in the pan. Doesn't last 1 month: Lucky if this lasts 3 weeks. Masks smells amazingly well for a couple of weeks, after that you'll notice when you scoop and stir that it isn't absorbing as well / quickly. Once you start getting the occasional whiff of 'cat box' smell in the area, act fast. When this stuff stops working, it fails completely at absorbing or masking odors and if your cat is like mine, they'll start looking for somewhere else to 'go'. And this will happen well before a month is over, regardless of daily scooping and stirring. Expensive: Better prices here that when I first bought it locally, but it's still questionable whether it's worth the price for such a small bag when it doesn't last anywhere near what is claimed on the bag. Also makes it hard to 'subscribe and save'. 1 "2 month" bag will last more than 1 month, but far less than 2 months. For now I am going to switch back to Dr. Easley's since it is finally available for a reasonable price again. I will see how long 40#, that cost the same amount as 7# of this lasts, and if it's worth it to deal with heavy clay again.

I had high hopes for this litter with such great reviews, but I couldn't even last 24 hours with it. I had tried two other crystal brands before this (nature's miracle crystals - the pieces were large and sharp, lots of dust and the perfume smell was horrible, and then petsmart's Equisicat micro crystals - fine texture that felt soft, not too much dust but only lasted about a week with daily scooping and stirring). PROS: 1. extra fine texture, almost like sand - soft on cats paws 2. once the dust settles, there's no smell (though I only used this for less than a day, so I can't speak for long term, but with the above 2 brands, they only lasted about a week before the pee smell was overwhelming to a human nose.) CONS: 1. The dust was the biggest reason I could not use this litter. When pouring fresh litter pearls micro crystals into my two litter boxes, there was SO much dust I couldn't breathe. I opened a window and left the room. When I came back 15 minutes later there was a gigantic dust cloud. With cats being even more sensitive to smell (especially 1 of my cats being deaf, so his sense of smell is even stronger) - I knew this wouldn't work at all for them. 2. The pee didn't seem to mix in while stirring like the other two brands mentioned above did. It was almost like it was semi-clumping. I had to actually mash the clumps of pee with my metal cat box scoop, and stir a lot to get it to mix in. Of course this resulted in a thick dust cloud again. It also seemed to stick to the bottom of the pan. This was only after a couple uses by my cats overnight (spread out between two boxes). 3. Left a layer of blue dust everywhere. When I dumped this litter out and sprayed the litter boxes to clean out all of the dust, it all turned BLUE! I read a review for this brand where someone mentioned their cats paws turned blue. This just doesn't seem healthy/safe. I did several cleanings of the box and still the paper towels came out blue. I will probably have to replace my two litter boxes! 4. the price! This litter claims it will last 2 months for 1 cat. As stated above other brands of crystal litter had the same claim, and they didn't last over a week without starting to smell. I could tell each day that went by, my cats were more reluctant to use the litter box. I spent $30 for this 7 lb bag, and it was just enough to split up between 2 boxes. Even if this made it a week, this litter is NOT worth $120 a month. I would not recommend this litter to anyone!

My cat is very picky about the cleanliness of his litter box so I got him an automatic one a few years back. After searching for the perfect litter, I think I've finally found it. Pros: - Very low tracking. The box is in my bedroom closet and I've only found two crystals in my bed within the past month. - Hides smells very well. I have a quality air purifier right by his box, but I've definitely had bad smells linger longer with other brands of litter. - The crystals are tolerated well by my picky kitty, and even I hardly notice if I step on one that found its way onto the nearby carpet. Cons(ish): - Not perfect at absorbing urine. My cat takes very large pees and I have yet to find a crystal litter that actually absorbs it all. My solution is an absorbant pad at the bottom of the box to cut down on scrubbing with each change. - It's on the expensive side as litter goes, but it's about how much I paid for his last litter brand, so I really can't complain. If you're looking for a low tracking crystal litter that sensitive-toed kitties will use, this is the best I've found so far.

If you buy the Ultra Pet Litter Pearl Micro Crystals in the 7 pound bag (instead of two 3.5 pound bags) then you can save about $6 because you are not paying for the extra packaging. Ultra Pet Cat Litter Pearls Micro...
