My only experience with Yesterday's News is when my cats undergo a declaw procedure.  It works for that.  I don't think I would ever buy this litter for everyday use.  The pellets are gross and they don't absorb well or control odor.  Stick with clumping litter for the best results overall.  But again, after a declaw, this stuff is essential for kittens with extra-sensitive, post-op paws.
