World's Best Cat Litter

A few years back I went in search of a more natural cat litter.  I felt it would likely be better for my cat's health and the environment if I could figure something out.

While in the cat litter section at my local HyVee, I spotted a small green and black one called World's Best Cat Litter.

I wasn't sure what to think, and Captain certainly gawked at the price (more than twice our normal expense).

Here are the benefits that they claim:

~ All natural made from corn

~ Outstanding odor control

~ Quick clumping and easy scooping

~ Pet and people friendly

~ Planet friendly

I decided that I would address each of these claims as I have experienced them.

~ It certainly seems to be made from corn, no complaint there.  The guy at a show I was at recently even ate it!  I'm not prepared to go that far, but do feel good about it's all natural properties.

~ The odor control seems satisfactory, don't know if I'd say outstanding.  The litter itself has an off odor, but you get used to it.  My cats are not always the best at burying their leavings, so that can be partially their fault as well.

~Quick clumping and easy scooping are probably the biggest advantage on the list.  This litter clumps better than any litter I've ever used.  The clumps stay together and remove easily from the rest.  There will always be the occasional fall apart issue, but WBCL certainly is the best I've seen.

~Pet and people friendly is hard to gauge.  Neither me or my cats have an allergy of any kind, so I cannot attest to that, nor have they ever had breathing problems to my knowledge.

~ Planet friendly seems totally legit.  I've read that some people put the litter in their compost pile!  I'm not quite ready for that step, but I always feel better putting something in the trash that decomposes quickly. ( I think I read it is flushable, though I am on a septic and hate to chance it until I read for sure).

My only complaint of this litter is that after frequent use, the kernels can be pulverized into a dust that seems to get on a lot of the surrounding areas.  I also see my black cat's paws coated in it occasionally.  To be fair, the white cat probably has it sometimes too, it's just less obvious.  I feel like it's not as big of a deal, though, since it's all natural.

To help the price factor, the litter lasts a very long time, I'm not sure if it's twice as long to justify the price, but certainly less often than before.

All in all, I consider this litter to be a great choice for my cats.  It's also more locally available than other natural options.

I'm able to get it at the nearby HyVee, Target, and feed store, or many places online:
