What makes clay based cat litters work is what happens between the time the clay is collected and when it lands in the litter box.
PERFECT LITTER ALERT is an easy-to-use product that is ultra lightweight (up to 70% lighter than regular litter) yet absorbs four times more than most other cat litters making it last longer.
The cat litters are available in resealable, recyclable bags and, while supplies last, the company is offering instant savings of $2 to $4 per bag to promote the product.
