This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Fresh Step Lightweight Extreme Litter. All opinions are 100% mine.
Life with four cats isn't easy. It's fun, I won't deny that - but easy it is not! Especially since they all somehow became "my" cats...and I am almost entirely responsible for their care.
And cleaning their litter box.
I know. Ew.
The most important thing to remember when it comes to your litter box is to clean it OFTEN. While you really should scoop the litter box every day (especially if you have more than one cat), you can do it every other day without things getting too bad. I also recommend emptying ALL of the cat litter out of the box once a week and filling it with entirely new cat litter. If you have multiple cats, wash the litter box with bleach every other month to prevent urine from settling into the plastic.
While it may seem like all cat litter is the same, that is definitely not the case! A quality cat litter is to your litter box experience what a quality toilet paper is to your own bathroom experience. Take Fresh Step® Lightweight Extreme cat litter, available at Target, as an example.
Fresh Step® Lightweight Extreme is 30% lighter, so it's easier to lift the box, and it's easier to pour. No more avoiding the litter box because it's a pain to lug that box of cat litter around! While it is lighter, it still does an awesome job of providing odor control and is still extremely absorbent and clumps like a champ!
Fresh Step® Lightweight Extreme actually has the strongest odor control by a lightweight litter, so even if you keep your litter box in a public space - like your home office - you won't be overwhelmed by the smell of a litter box.
We have been using Fresh Step® Lightweight Extreme cat litter for about a week now and the litter box has never been easier to handle! All of the cat's "droppings" are neatly coated and clumped, so scooping it out on a daily basis is a breeze.
I also love that there isn't a huge amount of dust when I refill the litter box, and the cats don't walk out tracking tiny particles of litter (and who knows what else) all over the floor.
So here's a message to my fellow cat ladies - and cat dudes, because I know you're out there! - check out the new Fresh Step® Lightweight Extreme cat litter, available at Target, and take advantage of a neater, fresher litter box! There's even a special display in most Target stores so it's easy to find, and you may even find a special promotion going on to help you save some money!

I am so allergic to cats, so I can't have one, but my in-laws use Fresh Step!!

I have used Fresh Step for many years, it is such a quality product. My cat loves it, and I love that there is no smell in my house.

I used this for my cat before she passed away. This brand works wonderfully!
Kelly Hutchinson
I have a bad back, so the new lightweight formula is perfect for me. We have two cats and Fresh Step really covers up that odor.
Stefany
We have 2 cats and thankfully I have not had to clean their litter box in some time. I agree with you that you really do need to use a good quality litter. Fresh Step is the one we have used for years!
Jennifer Soltys
This sound perfect for my Gram. She has several barn cats and litter is always too heavy for her!
Anne - Mommy Has to Work
We were just talking about how heavy fresh step is. I love this new version. I'm going to get some this weekend.
Elizabeth @ Being MVP
What a cute cat! I have heard that when you have a cat, good litter is a must!
Amber Edwards
I just picked up some of this to try out. I am really looking forward to the lighter weight.
Mama to 5 BLessings
Definitely sounds like a great way to keep it clean and eliminate the odors!
Tammi @ My Organized Chaos
When we had cats, that was the worst job ever. Back then we didn't have options like this but it would have been a saviour!
Meagan Ivie
Not much of a cat person, but I did grow up with a cat for 15 years of my life. Great to know there are such great fresh products out there!
Shauna
Oh my goodness, I am so mad that this wasn't around when I had a house full of cats. It would have been so awesome. Now I will just have to recommend it to my sister... ha!
Dee Mauser
I've been seeing more and more advertising about this litter. We strictly use Fresh Step but the multi-cat variety that's heavy to lift. I need to get some of this stuff pronto!
Melissa Pezza
Well, it's about time they invented litter like this isn't it? This solves every litter problem out there.
Nolie
I will have to tell my mom about this. She has cats and a tiny apartment.
Kristin
What beautiful cat.love fresh step
Emily
I don't have a cat, but I used to. Litter seems to have come a long way!
Janel
My boys keep asking for a pet. But I'm certain the pets will become 100% my responsibility, just like yours did. I just don't have the energy right now for one more thing to take care of. 😉 We hope to have a cat down the road, though.
Sarah @ Must Have Mom
Looks like a great way to keep fresh with cats! Thanks for sharing.
Marina @ Mommy Snippets
We don't have any felines now, but i remember the hassle it was keeping them fresh when we did. Wish I would have had this then!
Ty
I'd definitely have to tell my mom about this! She has five cats and she could sure use this!
Debbie L.
No cat at my house - but my BBF has one and she uses Fresh Step. There is never a cat smell in her home.
Christine Luken
OMG, I need some of this cat litter! You should see me trying to get the 45 pound container of cat litter from my cart at Sam's into my trunk. 😛
Lois Alter Mark
We've always had dogs but your cat is very cute!
Jennifer B
We could really use this for our two cats! We need more odor control!
April
we were playing with the neighborhood kitties today. They are super sweet.
Alisha Kostiuk
We don't have cats but my sister uses Fresh Step. She said it is the only one she has found that really takes care of the odor.
Pam
Your cat is so pretty! We have five cats (3+ 2 fosters) so I know for sure it is not easy to keep everything clean!
Elizabeth Towns
My sister has the fattest cat ever, and she needs a special kind of litter for her special litter box. She is a lovable fat critter, but we have a regime for her box. This might just be it - I will definitely share it.
Diane N - Philzendia
Wow! Four cats! I don't think I could handle even one!
Trisha
I don't have any pets but I'll definitely have to recommend this to my mom who has two cats! She'll love that the litter is lightweight!
AnitaB
I have 3 cats myself including one that is very large and weight 26 pounds. Luckily, I have assigned the litter box task to other family members . 🙂 I haven't seen this in Canada, I use Swheat Scoop myself. Cats don't like to change litter, but will if you change it gradually.
Janeane Davis
It is important to get the right kitty litter. It actually does matter.
maria @ close to home
My cat is such a messy cat litter box gal, I need to convert so I do less clean up.
eliz frank
We have one cat and he uses his littler box quite a bit. I notice only one of your cats in the photos. Is this the sociable one?
Kelli A
Cats are one of my favorite creatures! But I found out a few years ago that I am now allergic 🙁 makes me sad because I can't help but play with them any chance I get. But then I pay for it! Your cat is a cutie!!
Rosalind B
This brand is simply the best litter hands down.
