Q: Is this equivalent to 20 lb of regular cat litter

submitted by Kimmy 20 - 13 days ago
  • A: Great question! While Arm & Hammer™ Hardball Cat Litter comes in a 10.5 lb bag, its powerful clumping and odor control may mean you use less over time compared to some 20 lb regular litters. It’s designed to be long-lasting, so performance—not just weight—is what really counts! 🐱💪

Q: there is no scent shown on the box is there a no scent option?

submitted by itapia - 4 months ago

    I tried this and will never use anything else. It's doesn't have an overwhelming perfume smell out of the box and it eliminates almost all of the odor in the cat box. Ots not heavy so I can easily carry it upstairs. The texture is soft so my picky kitty with tender feet will use it as well. I have a lot less problems with going outside of the liter box. Still have one that does but she is a new addition at 17 years old her owner went into a retirement facility so we are trying.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] But the scent is overpowering, it would be better with no scent or a very light scent. Also, it does turn into a ball. Instead urine turned into a lump and puddle on the bottom of the litter box, which took a lot of effort to pry up. It would have been great if it did turn into actual balls as pictured.

    I love and hate this litter. It is so much better in functionality than the other litters I have tried - no dusting, great clumping, not as much tracking the litter around the house. HOWEVER, the perfume of this litter is awful. It is too strong, and you can smell it all over my house and all over my cats. After a long time using clump & seal, we came back to try Hardball again to see if the perfume smell had improved, and it has not. We will throw away the rest of the box, it is so bad. PLEASE make an unscented or more gently scented version!!!

    This cat litter is not worth the price. It doesn't work any better than regular clumping cat litter. I didn't have any trouble getting my cats to use the new litter, and I didn't mix it with the old litter. My cats just aren't picky about cat litter. It works like regular clumping litter so don't waste your money paying almost double the price.

    I've been using this since it came out. I LOVE IT!! I can't comprehend how it works so well!! Lasts FOREVERRR!! The only negative is its lightweight so it can fly out the litter box. My only wish is that it came in an unscented version! Other than that the clumps are UNMATCHED, you will never see any loose bits or sticky slime clay on the box

    I have used this litter for quite some time and loved it at first. I'm not sure if they changed the formula ir what but the second the cat uses it the litter box and whole room its in begin to smell so bad. I'm not talking like pee or poop, it smells like vomit. No matter how often you clean it. It literally stunk up my whole house like a putrid smelling vomit!!!

    My friend that has 5 cats told me to try this. It’s been a total game changer! It’s on the more expensive side but honestly totally worth it. I use one box for the whole month. Scoop every week. My friends that come over say it’s like you don’t even have a cat! Which to me is EVERYTHING! Only con is I do wish theyd come out with an Unscented version cause the smell of the litter is a bit strong but does die down after a few days. No dust at all. My cat doesn’t seem to mind. It’s a YES for me !

    This product is great for clumping and doesn't stick in their paws. However, we absolutely hate the scent of this litter. People even comment on the artificial scent when they come to our house (they don't like it). I would like to keep buying this, but I'll need to look for alternative options. Please consider making this unscented.

    I bought this after seeing many positive reviews. Initially, I really enjoyed this litter for how easily it contained the urine in nice hard clumps. However, when I went to do a full change on my litter (dump out and replace with fresh) and noticed it had hardened onto the bottom and was quite difficult to full clean out of the litter box. I also found that it tracked out of the litter box far more than the usual brand I use.
