I have two wonderful cats, both girls, and I'm always looking for a better cat litter that eliminates odor; so when I found Arm and Hammer Multi-Cat Litter on sale I thought I'd give it a try. I had always liked Arm and Hammer products in the past; and I thought this litter would be well worth the money.
Appearance
The litter is made of a clay like material with very fine, small particles of baking soda, and tiny blue beads that are the litter's odor control. It does not have any dust, so you're not breathing in clay dust when changing or scooping the box; and the cats do not track it out of the box like a lot of other litters.
Odor Control
My youngest girl doesn't want to go in the box because of the smell; and I have to be careful with her because strong fragrances tend to give her bladder infections. It has a heavy fragrance that doesn't seem to tackle the tough job of odor control; instead the fragrance can be so overpowering at times that it makes it difficult to breathe around. I also find the odor-blocking protection it says it has just masks the odor instead of eliminating it.
Scoop ability
I find this litter to be very absorbent; and forms into hard clumps which make cleaning out the box very easy. The clumps don't fall apart; they stay together unlike a lot of other litters.
Sizes
I do like the fact that it comes in heavy boxes, with easy-to-carry handles, in three different sizes: fourteen pounds, twenty-one pounds, and thirty pounds. Cost Arm and Hammer Litter does cost quite a bit more than other litters I have tried. In my area, the cost for a twenty-one pound box is between 10.99 and 15.99, which would be fine if it did what I wanted it to.
My Experience
I don't like Arm and Hammer's multi-cat litter because my youngest cat doesn't like it, and doesn't want to use the box because of the strong fragrance. I would not recommend it to someone who has a cat like mine because of the possibility of infections. It does have some good points about it with it's clumping ability, and no dust, but I won't buy it again because I found it to be ineffective against odor. My final thought on this litter is that it might be good for a one cat household, but not for multiple cats.

I really like Arm & Hammer's new Odor Alert Cat Litter - It turns blue on contact with waste so you can see odor before smelling it..
