Tidy Cats LightWeight Review & Giveaway

Tidy Cats LightWeight

The Simply Sweet Home cats love their Tidy Cats litter!  And now I can cheer because the litter we love has a new LightWeight formula!

Like other Tidy Cats products we’ve used, this litter does a great job of clumping for easy scooping and helps to eliminate odors 24/7.  It’s also powerfully absorbent and dust-free.  But the great thing about this new formula is that the jug (around the same size as the old jug) only weighs 8.5 pounds!  This makes it super convenient to buy at the store, and it’s a lot less work to refill the litter box!

Tidy Cats Light Weight Litter

 

The litter also has a pleasant scent, and my cats quickly adjusted to this using new litter without skipping a beat!

I have heard that some cats had problems adjusting, in which case, I’ve read it’s good to swap litters a little at a time (just add the new litter in with your old litter gradually), as opposed to using a whole litter box with all new litter.  But again, this wasn’t an issue with me.  All three of our cats were fine with the new litter.

Giveaway! One Simply Sweet Home reader will win a a jug of the new Tidy Cats LightWeight litter.
