Scoopability, followed closely by odor control.

odor control – but mostly just because it’s environmentally friendly
February 16th, 2009 at 2:00 am
flushable
February 16th, 2009 at 3:10 am
odor control is most important.

For my cat Bebe & I, low tracking ie. dust & superior clumping are hugely important. I am on a search for the lowest dust cat litter I can find. Seeing fine granules of litter adhering to my poor cats nostrils infuriates me to no end.
February 16th, 2009 at 4:58 am
I think the best feature would be the odor control. This is a MUST with my stinky kids!!
February 16th, 2009 at 5:29 am
Low Tracking!! Queen Sticky Paws gets litter bits all over our shared bathroom. It’s not fun to step on right out of the shower, let me tell you.
February 16th, 2009 at 5:35 am
The fact that it’s Biodegradable!
February 16th, 2009 at 5:52 am
I think two of the features go hand in hand and they are what I find most important: Completely Flushable & Biodegradable. Without the second quality the first wouldn’t be a good thing…and I really would like a litter that’s flushable. So you see what I mean? They go hand in hand
February 16th, 2009 at 5:55 am
Low-odor + the Low tracking. You wouldn’t believe where kitty litter ends up in our house! I really like Clumping kitty litter too…so that’s just an added bonus.
February 16th, 2009 at 6:12 am
this litter looks great. most important features to me are-
Biodegradable, Easy Scooping/clumping, safety and Low Tracking
February 16th, 2009 at 6:15 am
I would say the clumping ability would be number one for me if it weren’t for how stinky Orion was. I used World’s best now and with a 03 ionizer don’t mind it too often, however something that could hold up to the smell more would be amazing! I also love that its low tracking since I share an apartment and keep the litter box in my room.
What a wonderful giveaway! Thank you.
February 16th, 2009 at 6:46 am
Wow! I don’t see anything about this litter that I *wouldn’t* like! Biodegradable, flushable, and clumping? Perfection! I’m totally going to try this stuff out!
February 16th, 2009 at 6:51 am
Low tracking is important. That litter sure sticks to my cats paws and she shakes it off throughout the house it seems.
February 16th, 2009 at 7:08 am
Great for Multiple-cat Households
February 16th, 2009 at 7:22 am
It’s a tie between “Biodegradable” & “Great for Multiple-cat Households.” : )

What a great giveaway!
February 16th, 2009 at 7:46 am
Gotta love eco friendly products!
February 16th, 2009 at 7:47 am
I think the “extraordinary odor control” feature would be the most important to me. Living in a small apartment with two cats definitely makes odor control a HUGE priority!
February 16th, 2009 at 7:47 am
The fact that it’s ORGANIC!
February 16th, 2009 at 7:48 am
Unfortunately there are no stores which sell this product in my area. 18104

Odor control and Multi-cat
February 16th, 2009 at 7:48 am
Biodegradable, no chemicals, simplified manufacturing process (presumably less of a carbon footprint).
February 16th, 2009 at 7:49 am
The fact that it’s organic and non-toxic–what else even matters?
February 16th, 2009 at 7:49 am
Litter!! I can always use more litter!
February 16th, 2009 at 7:50 am
How about “all of the above”???? But if I had to pick one, odor control would win!
February 16th, 2009 at 7:50 am
Definitely odor control! I struggle to find a safe, quality, natural litter that is strong enough to cover odors without resorting to heavy perfumes!

Completely flushable! Sure makes disposal easier and it’s bio-degradable!
February 16th, 2009 at 7:51 am
Odor control is our number 1 concern but low track is close second
Thanks for the giveaway, love your newsletter
February 16th, 2009 at 7:51 am
odor control!… smelly cats…
February 16th, 2009 at 7:52 am
odor control
February 16th, 2009 at 7:52 am
The fact it is derived from a renewable source with very little negative impact on our environment. Also the fact that it won’t dry out my two little girls’ paws.
February 16th, 2009 at 7:53 am
“Superior clumping ability” and “extraordinary odor control” without a doubt!
February 16th, 2009 at 7:54 am
scoopable
February 16th, 2009 at 7:56 am
It’s really hard to pick just one reason but I would say the most important is that the litter is non-clay. Thanks for showcasing so many new great products.
February 16th, 2009 at 7:57 am
a year’s supply?? yes, please.
February 16th, 2009 at 7:57 am
With 3 cats, the most important thing to me would have to be odor control. Clumping ability a close second!
February 16th, 2009 at 7:57 am
Low tracking and superior clumping ability matter most in my kitty household.
February 16th, 2009 at 7:58 am
how awesome! organic cat litter!
February 16th, 2009 at 7:58 am
If the odor control is as good as the testimonials say, then I’m game! Probably beats what I’m using now – Swheat Scoop.
February 16th, 2009 at 7:59 am
With four cats, odor control is definitely a major factor.
February 16th, 2009 at 7:59 am
odor tracking and scooping are tied
February 16th, 2009 at 7:59 am
Completely flushable
February 16th, 2009 at 8:00 am
The most important issue for me is my sweet kitty, Rosie’s safety and this litter is safe for her. I sure could use this! Thanks for having this giveaway!
February 16th, 2009 at 8:00 am
Definately ease of scooping + great for multiple cat households! Also the fact that it’s organic and contains no chemicals.
