Overview

Frequently asked questions

What does '4-in-1 Strength' mean?

It refers to Purina's positioning of this formula as handling multiple performance needs, like clumping and odor control, in one bag, though the exact four components aren't broken out in this listing.

Is 20 lbs a good size for one cat?

Yes, a 20 lb jug should last a single cat household a good while between refills, and it also works well for splitting cost across multiple cats.

How does the price compare to other Tidy Cats litters?

At $10.99, it's notably cheaper per jug than the smaller 6 lb and 8.5 lb Tidy Cats jugs in this lineup, largely because of its larger 20 lb size.
