    I bought this litter about a month and a half ago and I am thankful that I opted to try it. The level of absorption, the lightweight of the litter and it has a gentle scent that is not overpowering. I will not be going back to my other litter. Definitely recommend for cat parents!

    Too expensive

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, it's a bit too expensive for my limited budget. The odor control is excellent, and the clumping action makes it easy to scoop and clean. It has some tracking issues, those are minor inconveniences compared to how well it performs in other areas. If you’re looking for a good litter that controls odors well, this one is definitely worth considering!

    I tried this for the first time and won’t be using it again. It has a strong smell that I hate; I always use unscented. And my cats don’t like to go in it. Only one cat has actually used it, twice, and it does not make a hard clump. The ball of urine breaks up into little pieces. Now she won’t go in it anymore at all. Sorry, but it is a no for me and my cats.

    I have been using this cat litter for about alittle over a year now. It definitely does the job: traps oders, dust free, clumps up amazingly. The ONLY downside and for that I don't give it a 5 star is the smell. Its powerful and a quite overwhelming. I really hope the company can create an unscented option or something less overwhelming, otherwise I'll need to swap it for another brand.

    I’ve bought several boxes and really like it. Only downside is it doesn’t seem to cover solid waste as well, and with two adult cats that’s important.

    We were disappointed with the other brands we were purchasing, not clumping as advertised sticking to the bottom of the litter box even when cleaning on a daily basis. Hardball was a complete game changer for us, it is an awesome product. It clumps as described, it is so easy when cleaning the litterbox, it comes up clumped and doesn't stick to the bottom of the litterbox. My daughter now uses this product for her little feline friends. I highly recommend this product.

    Best litter I have ever used!

    JoJo - 2 months ago

    We love this litter. It clumps the urine so it too can be scooped out along with the fecal matter. It does help with odor; I do scoop daily so this is usually not an issue anyway. There are some times, that no litter can help with odor based on what your cat is eliminating. I love that it is lightweight, so no struggling with transporting it. Since the litter doesn't come in a resealable bag (I get the large bag) I do transfer it to a bucket with a lid. I feel like my cats (2 boys) are happy with this litter and only one of them tracks it as he flies out of the litter box like a rocket when he is done with his business. Please don't discontinue this litter....I never want to go back to Ti*y C** again!

    We love it! Had to explain against the bad reviews. Scent. Maybe yall got the garden one but the regular one smells a lot better than poop and pee. You might be nose blind lol. Not clumping? You either don’t leave it alone long enough to clump or your cat has health issues. Cat doesn’t like it? You need to get gradually switch it out. Sticking? Maybe try a steel box. It works great with ours. We loved this. We have 4 cats and this works amazing. We also have all steel boxes so no issues sticking. We scoop later in the day so no mushy litter. I saw all these bad reviews and no way. I don’t agree with them at all. We are getting done with our usual litter and only using Hardball it’s amazing. I’m going to try out a small bag of garden bloom just to see if I like it.

    Unfortunately the strong perfume scent is overbearing and brings my rating way down. Hopefully they are working on a scent free formula. If you didn't mind your entire house smelling of it, this litter is great otherwise.

    Awesome litter

    Chuck - 2 months ago

    First of all, we have been married 38 years and have had cats the entire time.We started using Hardball about 6 months now. We have 2 large purebred Maine Coons, and a rescue from our backyard that we have had for 14 years. They use the litter box frequently. This is by far the BEST litter we have ever used. It is so absorbant, it makes cleaning their 2 litter boxes an adventure! The clumps are like little sculptures! Never quite the same. For those who say "it sticks to the bottom of the box" put more litter in. It should be about 4" deep. No odors.(we clean it in the morning and at night) wouldn't ever think about buying any other brand. This is an unsolicited review.

    We have been using it for a couple months. I love everything about it except the scent. The scent is just too strong. It is a sickening sweet smell that just lingers. Unfortunately until there is a non scented version we will need to switch back to our previous litter.
