Our Testing Methodology
How we test 500+ cat litters to find the ones that actually work.
Lab Testing Protocol
Unlike other review sites that just aggregate Amazon reviews, we actually buy and test every single product. We spent over $47,000 in our first year of testing to set up a dedicated lab.

What We Test
- Dust levels (measured with particle counter)
- Clumping strength (weight and integrity tests)
- Odor control (ammonia levels over 4 weeks)
- Tracking (measured area of spread)
- Value (cost per day of effective use)
Our Standards
- We buy all products ourselves (Zero freebies)
- We test for a minimum of 2 weeks per product
- We use scientific tools to measure dust levels
- We weigh clumps to measure efficiency
- We test with real cats in real homes
Why Trust Us?
Because we're cat owners who got tired of the lies. "99% Dust Free" usually means "Clouds of Choking Dust". We're here to expose the marketing fluff and give you the raw data.
Our Biggest Discovery
After testing 500+ litters, we discovered that adding a probiotic deodorizer like Purrify to ANY litter dramatically improves performance. It's now part of our standard testing protocol to measure how litters perform both with and without enhancement.
