Scoop Away Multiple Cat Formula

I used to use Tidy cats clay, then switched to Tidy Cats clumping (which I thought was huge improvement) but nothing compares to Scoop Away. I know that a lot of people complain about the perfume but… honestly, I prefer that to the smell of cat urine and seemingly, so do my cats! My two cats would NEVER share a box when used Tidy Cats but now, with Scoop Away ([...]) my cats both use the same litter box. The litter masks odors so effectively that my cats continue to use the box even if I skip my twice a day scooping when I'm busy. Yes, it tracks but so do other fine clumping litters but because it smells good, it's not a problem unless you're a perfume-intolerant individual. Overall, I highly recommend this product.

We have two cats that despite their small builds are big poopers with strong smell to it. This litter simply didn't perform well enough for our situation. We did not find it to be "super clumping". Our… cats' fur would actually stink because they'd get a fine dusting of this litter after going in the litter box and that fine dust would stink because it wasn't clumping around and containing the odors of the #1 and #2 in the box. Onward to another brand in our search!

For whatever reason (probably good pricing at our local supermarket), we switched from Arm & Hammer to Scoop Away a few months ago. It seemed fine. A little overpowering but effective. And then one of… our two cats started to lick all the hair off her stomach, then she began to lick and scratch furiously between her claws and around her head. After three very expensive visits to the vet, and courses of steroid treatments and flea medication, we were no further along. The cat was constantly throwing up hair-balls (from all the licking she was doing) and getting very thin. Then our second cat started to scratch madly and my wife and I were getting very concerned. One day, while working from home, I cleaned out the litter tray three times just to keep it clean. It was that day when I noticed that my arms were very itchy and I had breathing issues. I changed the cat litter back to Arm & Hammer. Now our cats are 100% back to normal, no more emergency visits to the vet, the hair is growing back on cat #1's stomach, and no more hairballs. This was a scary situation. Vets and on-line discussion boards never touched on the cat litter as a potential problem but with our experience, I am convinced that Scoop Away was the root cause. I sincerely hope that this post helps other cat-owners out there who may be experiencing similar issues and have no idea what to do about them.
