I've used this litter for over a year in a small-ish apartment with 2 cats that share a litter box. Cats seem happy with it and enjoy digging through it (the pellets make a lot of noise when swished around in the litter box). I really like that it's eco-friendly but not crazy-expensive, and it has a nice pine scent. You can "refresh" the scent by shaking the box a little. BUT I have found it somewhat inconvenient to clean up. The large pellets are hard to scoop--you end up throwing out a lot of clean pellets with the poop. There's no good way to remove urine. The pellets turn into moist powder when wet, and that means urine just sort of stays in the litter box until you change the whole thing. In my experience, this litter does not hide odor as well as everyone seems to think, unless you're changing it completely every 3 days, which can get expensive. Also, I've found that the powder, once dry, often ends up on the floor just like clay litters. A more serious warning: I originally thought this was a flushable litter, but it did cause my toilet to back up after a while.
