You can appreciate the 99.9% dust-free composition of this Tidy Cats cat litter, which minimizes dust clouds when you fill the litter box.

Yes, Tidy Cats litter is safe for cats. We conduct extensive testing of our litter products, including a safety review by a veterinary toxicologist of all materials used in the manufacturing process.

There are certain types of cat litter that you should avoid using for your cat. Clumping clay litter containing sodium bentonite can be harmful if ingested, and some cats may develop respiratory problems from the dust it produces. Crystalline silica litter can also produce dust that can be harmful to cats if inhaled.

Particles may stick to your cat's paws or fur more easily than heavier weight litter particles. Some lightweight litters can be more dusty than others. Your vet may advise against very young kittens using lightweight litter until they get older and bigger. Check with your vet about any litter recommendations.

This litter from Tidy cats clumps very well for ease of cleaning. While not 100% dust free it does offer a very low dust rate. The lid can use a little work for more user friendly use. Finally a single 40lb box has lasted twice as long in my home as any other litter I have used.

Although half the weight of regular kitty litter has been removed from lightweight litter, that doesn't mean less absorption power or lower odor control. In fact, some lightweight litters perform even better at quickly absorbing wetness and locking in odor than other, heavier litters.

A 20-pound bag of litter should last you between six and eight weeks depending on how often you change the litter and also how many litter boxes you have.

Litter Containing Crystalline Silica Dust Over time, crystalline silica can accumulate in your cat's lungs, resulting in a condition called silicosis, which causes shortness of breath and reduced lung capacity. Humans are also susceptible to silicosis.

In short, Tidy Cat litter is not a bad litter but may not suit your cat's needs. It is acceptable for use with most cats but a lower-dust and perfume-free formula may be better.
