This is what I use for my Maine Coon Cat and wouldn’t use anything else.

I like this clumping cat litter easy to scoop this is the first time I brought it for my two cats. They seem to like it. I will buy again next month. And it’s very light to carry and pour.

Something has changed, and not for better.
It used to work so well! In the last 6 months the color has changed (darker), it doesn't control odor as well, and it doesn't clump as well. Something has changed, and not for the better. Very disappointed.

Lightweight is great!
I started using Arm & Hammer Hardball Lightweight clumping litter when I purchased an automatic litter box for my three cats about a month ago. Love that it is lightweight/easy on my back & encapsulated clumping keeps odors to a minimum! I will only purchase this litter in the future!

The Best One Yet.
I have allergies so other litter would irritate me with the dust and all, but this litter does not make me want to put on a face mask while cleaning the litter boxes and I have two cats. This litter seems to stay fresher than most as well.

Migraine sufferers beware
The box does not indicate that this is scented and holy crap I have to air out my house. I am sensitive to scents, they trigger migraines. I've tried putting a cup of baking soda in each litter box and opening all the windows. I am throwing this out today and replacing with an unscented generic litter. The premise is great but the lack of warning on the scent is absolutely terrible.

I bought this for my multiple cat house. Great that’s its lightweight, has no dust, clumps great, and controls odor. it doesn’t stick to the poop so must be scooped more often. it is a very messy litter that is tracked way to far from litter box. One long haired cat has clumps stuck to hair.

Great product. Love the light weight and the smell. I have 3 cats. I used this in one of the litter boxes. On the 3rd day my cats were using that box as their primary. Transitioning the other boxes to this. Scooping is a dream job now. Kudos to you.

Great litter
I’ve tried all kinds of litter. I used to be an arm and hammer slide user but when I moved back home, I switched to pretty litter. That became to expensive so I went back to slide but was disappointed in the clay litter. It just clung to my scoop. I then found Fresh effects. The box was not heavy and very manageable. I have not been able to find this very often but my cats like it. I like it and the fact that it scoops easy makes me happy. I love this litter but it’s way too hard to do find.

Worst cat litter ever
I recently purchased this litter at our local grocery store, and I can honestly tell you it is the worst litter that I've ever purchased in the 20-plus years of owning a cat. This litter is almost like the consistency of wet sand, and clumps like it as well. This is not worth the price, and if you value your sanity and hate cleaning the litter box, I implore you to not buy this litter. It is absolutely atrocious.

i’ve used hardball for a long time ever since it came out and I really like it except it appears they have changed the color from a light collar to like an orange to me. It makes it look so much dirtier why did you change the color?

We appreciate your loyalty! 🐾 Hardball Litter is made from US grown sorghum. There may be natural variation in the litter’s color from batch to batch but its performance and clumping power stay the same. Watch for an email and we will follow up.

Best dang litter I’ve ever used & being in the vet field for almost 15 years I’ve tried all different kinds! Just wish it was a little bit cheaper

No hardball.
This litter does not clump i to a ball. It's more like a mushy pancake. Very disappointing.

Clumping for better clean up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this for a year now and I have multiple cats. I make sure to sift the cat box daily. I like that it clumps so it allows for an easier clean up.

great product
I've been using this litter for quite a while now. It is by far the best litter I have ever used. Clean litter box (nothing sticks to the box) and easy scooping. I will never use anything else.

Its a no from me, dawg
I’m not sure where the good ratings are coming from but everyone must be nose blind. First, I love Arm & Hammer. It’s the only litter we use so when I saw this, I was excited. I love how lightweight it is. That is where my love stops. This stuff smells awful. Mind you, we clean the litter at least once a day; sometimes twice. Every single time the cat had a bowel movement, we immediately knew which is not normal. Don’t get me started on the clumping. Hardball is right. It makes a hardball of urine that also gets plastered to the sides and bottom of our stainless steel litter box. Again, Arm & Hammer usually makes cleaning a breeze but not the case with this litter. I had to get a plaster tool to scrape the remaining litter off because nothing else was working. Will not be buying this again as this was a miss from Arm & Hammer but if lightweight is all you’re looking for, you may love this.
