I bought this item because my cat injured herself by pulling one of her back claws completely out. The paw became infected very quickly. After I brought her back from the vet I filled her two litter boxes with Yesterday's News. The pellets are a little larger than I thought they'd be for a cat, but Samirah adjusted very quickly. I completely changed out the litter in the boxes after three days, washed the boxes out and put in fresh litter. I'm very impressed. I poured the used litter into a garbage bag and the weight was lighter than clay litter would have been. The sides and bottom of the litter pan was a little dusty.  Clean up was a breeze, very easy. The pellets absorbed the urine and swelled up slightly. Solid waste was no problem, either. No large soggy clumps to scoop out. I would highly recommend this litter, especially for single cat households.
