I actually don't use this for my cat, I use it for my ferrets (as pellet litter is recommended for them, to protect their respiratory tracts from dust and their tiny paws from irritation). We have four ferrets and I line the areas where they go with it; it only needs to be changed every 2-3 days, is very absorbent, and doesn't leave messy residue like some litters. It also has a nice scent which is pleasant but not overpowering.
