Great Refresher, November 12, 2009
by NWhite from Lafayette, LA

Pros: eliminates odor!, lengthens time litter can be used, cats like it

"Great refresher for litter. It helps to eliminate odor after scooping out clumps. Keeps from having to change litter as often. I LOVE it & do NOT go without it! I sprinkle about 1/2 a cup each time I put completely new litter, sprinkle some after scooping, & leave a thin layer on top of the litter. My cats seem to really like it."

Smells awful, November 2, 2009
by klm1118 from MA

Cons: smells terrible

"This product smells awful all on its own. It smells like a Christmas tree, which is fine when it is real, but the chemical smell mixed with the smell my cats create is pretty gross. Regular baking soda is MUCH better. Don't waste your money!"

Great for certain litter boxes, June 25, 2009
by Daph from Prov, RI

Pros: helps box stench
Cons: do not need it for the breeze

"I would buy this again if I used a normal litter box, but now that I use the Breeze there is really no need for it. Furthermore if you do use it with the breeze, it will go right through the holes."

better than baking soda, March 30, 2009
by NellasMommy from Charleston WV

Pros: easy shake container

"I have used this in my cat's little box for years now. I forgot it one time, and I was erminded shortly after by the pungent ammonia smell. This keeps the box smelling clean for much longer than baking soda (tried previously). I use this in combination with the Tidy Cats Crystal blend, scooping every night, and we can go weeks before the whole pan has to be chnaged"

A Cat Owner's Staple, July 3, 2008
by Bizarro7 from Orlando, FL

"A little of this product makes ordinary cat litter go much longer without any telltale odor. Just sprinkle on top when you change the litterbox and give the box a single shake to make the powder settle in. Makes a huge difference!"

Great Scent!, June 12, 2008
by Nessa16 from Thompson, ND

"This deoderizer has a great scent that my cats don't seem to mind. I use it every time I clean the box. I don't smell any ammonia so it must be working to cover that...I just wish it did more for fecal smell."

Good fresh scent!, May 19, 2008
by jillikins20 from Kendallville, In

"I used this deordorizer with Special Kitty Crystal Blend cat litter and it worked very well for me. I used very little each time and it always left a very fresh clean scent even when I used it inbetween clean outs. It worked great and didn't bother the cats which is even better."

Works great, April 13, 2008
by Christa from Metro Detroit Michigan

"I've used this for a couple years now. It really cuts down on ammonia odor. It is good to sprinkle UNDER the liner to keep the pan fresher longer."

Far Superior to Baking Soda, September 6, 2007
by GaryM from Tempe, AZ

"I had been using baking soda as a deodorizer in my litter box and it just wasn't doing the trick. I slowly transitioned into using Tidy Cats deodorizer by using a combination of the two for a couple of weeks. Tom (my cat) didn't notice a thing and the odor control is much much better. I would definitely recommend this product over traditional baking soda."

It gave me a headache, July 29, 2007
by Emmie from Sacramento, CA

"I like Tidy Cats litter, so I thought the deodorizer would work well. When I opened the bottle, I thought the smell was strong. I mixed it in with the litter like the directions said (thinking maybe it wouldn't be as strong when it was mixed in), but I still couldn't stand the smell. My cat didn't seem to mind, at least not yet, but I had to change the box and get different deodorizer the next day"

Be careful how you introduce this to your cat!!!, July 25, 2007
by Manypets from Cape May, NJ

"I had a horrible experice with this product and would like to let others know to be careful when first trying it out. In the past, we always used regular baking soda in our cat litter. During one visit to Petsmart, I picked up the Tidy Cats to give it a try. I have 4 cats and 2 litter pans. (One cat does her business outside.) Well, my 13 year old cat went nuts over the new smell. He wouldn't even go near his litter pan. He started to have accidents throughout the house. I went back to having the baking soda in it, but the fear was still there. I had to buy another enclosed litter pan and start him on that in another room of the house. Once he was use to it, I then moved it slowly day by day until it was finally back to being in my laundry room again. I would say that it took me at least 2 months until all was normal again.

So please, remember that our older cats could be traumatized by something so simple as trying Tidy Cats in their litter. I'm sure this product is good, but perhaps it would be best to start using it in your cat's litter when they are real young."
