Having four cats ensures that I always get a workout from lugging cat litter around. From putting it into the cart, the car, then carrying it to the litter box in my laundry room and again to my office, it's enough to tire me out! I can hardly imagine having to cart heavy cat litter on a bus or up and down apartment building stairs. Not to mention the scooping and emptying of the litter box - it's definitely not my favorite part of having cats in the family. Stripes, Gizmo, Tarzan, and Hazel are appreciative of fresh, clean litter and boxes, but my arms aren't always as happy after I'm done tending to it! I'm very happy that Tidy Cats, by Purina - the very same that invented the first cat litter - created Tidy Cats Lightweight Litter, which has all the strength (but half the weight) of its predecessor.
Tidy Cats Lightweight Litter tackles even the toughest odors, and let's face it: cat waste is about as odorous as it gets. The stench of cat poop, the pungent smell of ammonia - the last thing I want is for my home to smell like cats, so I really appreciate the continuous odor control that Tidy Cats Lightweight Litter provides. Scooping is super easy with light and tight clumps because this formula is powerfully absorbent. This definitely saves me on time and it's just all-around easier to scoop!
With four cats, it could easily take me a chunk of time cleaning the litter boxes, but because of the absorbency and tight clumps, I can scoop and get on with my day. As soon as I begin to clean the litter box, the cats come running - it's obvious that they prefer a clean, fresh litter box. Think about it, do you like walking into a dirty bathroom?
I think that a big part of why people allow their cat's litter box to overflow is that it's a pain to clean it.
Most cats don't like a full litter box, and will resort to doing their business elsewhere - like the bathtub, the bathroom sink, the laundry hamper...pretty much everywhere that you wouldn't want your cat to do their business!
It's especially important to keep your litter box clean when you have multiple cats. With one cat, you might be able to get away with not cleaning the litter box for a few days, but with four cats, we have to clean it on a daily basis.
Tidy Cats Lightweight Litter by Purina makes scooping the litter box easier, so now you have no excuses!
Tidy Cats Lightweight Litter by Purina is now available at Dollar General in a resealable, recyclable 8.5 lb jug. I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but it's the same amount of product - but half the weight - of 20 lbs of the leading scooping litter. It makes it so much easier to carry, you don't even need two hands!
I like that the jug is resealable for when I'm adding to the litter boxes rather than completely changing the litter.
From now through 12/1, you can pick up Tidy Cats Lightweight Litter for $11.50 at Dollar General. This is a fantastic price - especially when you figure in the time it saves as well as the ease of carrying it around!

I love how really light it is! I hate the really heavy litters.

Ok, I've got to tell my bff about this. She's been trying to find a good litter for a while now.
Elizabeth @ Being MVP
What a pretty cat! I'll let my friends with cats know about this.

I have two cats and I just cleaned the litter box 10 minutes ago. I need to get some of this litter. I hate lugging around the boxes of cat litter as they are heavy. I like the packaging on this brand.

Cleaning the litter box is a messy and stinky job. I am glad that there is now litter available that is long lasting. I have a couple cats and it is tough to keep up with the cleaning so a good litter really helps.

I remember when my cat was alive and buying cat litter - boy was that a chore. So heavy! This sounds like a great solution!
Shell
It is amazing how they can make this so lightweight. I can see that it would be a big hit with those with cats!
Kathy
Wow, that's amazing! I have two cats of my own and the cat litter is always heavy to carry. It would be nice to have this. I'll definitely be checking this out when I head to the store next.
Shauna
That is just great. I used to have five cats and no matter how hard I tried, when you walked in my house, you knew... Thanks for sharing.
Jen Temcio @dapperhouse
There is a Dollar General sort of near me. I didnt realize that they sold big items like this. I will have to check them out!!
Mistee Dawn
I definitely need this. I have two smelly cats, so I am well on my way to being a cat lady. lol.
Liz Mays
With four cats, you can get away with just one litter box? That's amazing! Woohoo for lightweight litter!
HilLesha
I'm not particularly fond of heavy cat litter containers. So, I love that this is lightweight!
Ronni
My cat is always sitting and chilling in the bathroom sink too! I try to catch her quick and turn the faucet on but she's too fast for me. 1 day... I will win that game 😉
Tammi @ My Organized Chaos
Those things are usually so heavy, love how light it is!
Fee Roberts
This is the ONLY cat litter I use for my picky kitty 🙂
Cindy Merrill
I have two cats and they're very fussy about what type of litter goes in their litter box.
Yvonne Appleton
I love tidy cats litter!
It clumps a lot better than competing litters.
I haven't tried the lightweight kind yet thoufh!

I have been using this for a couple of months now and it really is so much lighter and easier to handle than the one I used before.
