At one of the cat shows I was in, my human saw this guy who was selling a kind of litter he swore was amazing! It was made of specially formulated silica gel granules that absorb odor and last for a really long time. He offered to give my human a bag of it for me to review. Because Binga and Boodie have used silica gel litter in the past, she agreed. She figured if I didn’t use it, maybe at least they would.
The first thing we all (my human, Binga and I) noticed about Almost Invisible Cat Litter is that it has virtually no scent. That is a huge relief because the only thing more disgusting than a smelly, dirty litter box is a fresh litter box containing some kind of disgusting faux floral scent. The texture is very sand-like — the granules are very small and they make a really satisfying crunch when you dig around in them. I will be honest — both Binga and I were anxious to give it a try right away!
Practically the moment my human took a step back from the box, Binga was in there!
I was thoroughly disgusted that she got in there before me. But the thing about Almost Invisible Cat Litter is that it absorbs cat urine in virtually seconds and there is no odor! At least no odor that humans can smell. Anyhow, I was determined — I had to outdo Binga.
And I did. Yes, it is what you think it is.
Actually, the scent to that got absorbed pretty quickly too! And the silica gel sucks the moisture right out of it, so it is easy to scoop. In fact, all you have to do is scoop the solid waste and stir around the litter daily and it lasts for up to a month for one cat, or up to 15 days for two! Since my human left two litter boxes in the bathroom — one with our usual litter, and one with the Almost Invisible Cat Litter, it lasted for a good, long while.
You know it is time to change the litter when most of the granules have turned yellow, which will probably be before you actually start smelling it. When my human could smell a litter box in this bathroom, it was always the other litter box and not this one!
So what was our consensus about Almost Invisible Cat Litter? Binga and I used it regularly, but my human never saw Boodie use it (which does not necessarily mean she didn’t — she tends to do her business when no one is around). We used the other litter box a bit more, but we pretty much traded off between the two. It’s not a total miracle litter — while it is almost totally dust-free, it is not scatter free as you can see in the photo above, especially if you have a litter flinger like Binga… and are like my human and have a bad habit of overfilling the litter pan. Hey, you only need an inch! Even though we used the Almost Invisible Cat Litter box regularly, the big bag we were given lasted months.
We give Almost Invisible Cat Litter a paws up here!
This is the new 9-lb. bag with a handle to make the litter easy to pour.
Disclosure: we were given a bag of this litter to try out, but all opinions are our own.
Great review ! Mum is always looking for the purrfect litter ! Purrs
we do like the no-odor aspect!!
oh we are totally going to check this out. The litter we use now clumps great, but it takes a sand blaster to scoop out TKS’s pee balls! MOL
Thanks for the review! Mom is excited to try it out too 🙂 We have a new web address.

We use unscented litter, but this kind sounds super, we will have to tell meowmy to keep an eye out fur it…so we can give it a try.
Thanks for this review. We too have been trying a new litter (different from this one). Mom loves it…us not so much. We will have to give this one a try. We are having a giveaway for a great book. Stop by our Friday post to enter. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
That looks like a great litter. If I were you an Binga I would be a little mad at the photo of you going potty.
Impressive! We are willin ta give it a try iffen TBT finds anny ta bring home…
Awesome job, Summer! This litter sounds really interesting. We’d give it a try if it ever gets carried around here!
Mommy just came home from Petco with those litter boxes! Too bad she didn’t read your fantastic review before she left the store. Mommy agrees so much with something your wrote….. she thinks it’s gross when there’s something smelly in the litterbox, and the litter smells very perfumey. The house smells like floral poop! MOL
Love,
Lola and Lexy
Never heard of this but it sounds like you both like it
I wonder if *I* would like it? I use Precious Cat as there is no dust. BUT if I find it I may try.
That was a great review Summer. I needed it a while back when I was at my most ill. Mum said she has never smelled anything as evil as what I was putting out.
Wow! You girls did a great review. You have us sold on trying it out. Gotta get our catmom to find it now. We’ll help her. Fabulous action pictures, MOL. Your mom did a great job supervising your photoshoot. Love you guys!
This litter sounds like something TW and I would both like. Can you buy it anywhere but their website. It’s awful pricey even if it lasts a month.
Summer, you made us giggle! We haven’t heard of that stuff before but we’re flingers too so not sure if the mess would be too bad. Our boxes are in a walk in closet in Mommy’s office so the no smell is very important so she doesn’t gag!
We never heard of it but it sounds and looks mighty interesting!
The Farm cats are using MY GOAT PEN as a litter box right now. I do not agree with this. I do not use their litter boxes now do I?
We think both you and Binga did that review terrifically!
Hmmm, this might work for mes…Mommy shall has to sees if she can find it. Mes DOES fling litter, but what Mommy hates the worst is it getting stuck between my toes and mes bringing it to bed! Nothing worst than litter on the sheets in the middle of the night
Kisses and has a Fabulishious Furriday!
Nellie
that sounds like great stuff for you kitties,xx Speedy
Oh my you and Binga are both pro. You both go to the baffroom while being photographed. Our Emma would not go to the baffroom if there’s another person or furbaby in the room.
That litter sounded interesting to our humans but we have litter-flingin’ parties all the time and they complained about the crunchies underfoot. Hey, the way we see it, that’s the reason we fling. A crunchie is a crunchie. They either have clay crunchies or silica crunchies! Good to hear your litter is good with smells though.
SUMMER AND BINGA!! GREAT REVIEW. OH DO WE AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT SCENTED LITTER. ONE TIME MISTAKENLY PICKED UP TWO CONTAINERS OF IT (THEY WERE IN THE WRONG PLACE ON THE SHELF…DON’T EVEN GET HER STARTED ON WHY FOLKS PUT THINGS IN THE WRONG PLACE) . SHE PUT IT IN THE CAR, WENT TO RUN A FEW MORE ERRANDS. WHEN SHE GOT BACK TO THE CAR THE ENTIRE CAR SMELLED OF ARTIFICIAL SCENTS…EVEN WITH THE CONTAINERS SEALED. SHE TOOK IT BACK LICKETY SPLIT. WE CANNOT IMAGINE HOW THAT STUFF WOULD HAVE SMELLED IN THE HOUSE.
HUGS MADI YOUR BFFF
One of our many litter boxes is an automated one with silica but the granules are so big only Odin likes it. I’d be curious to try this, Good job, Summer!
Our particle size is close to sand which cats like. We are familiar with the silica product that has a particle size of pebbles. Cats are more comfortable on the sand-like texture.
Please let us know if you would like to do a review
Sounds enticing for a multi cat home like ours…scent and dust free would go a long way! Our human is scared to try new litters with us though because one of us has had litter issues in the past that she wouldn’t want to trigger again by changing anything! We use World’s Best Cat litter.
the critters in the cottage xo
Please try adding an extra litter box with Almost Invisible. The cats will choose the better product. You will notice a difference and the cats will thank you.
BTW, your own labor savings in a multi-cat home will be enormous. Less time maintaining the pan, less time removing dust from your home and fewer litter box changes.
I think my mom would like to try that out for the cats in my house. Their boxes get so smelly so quickly. I’m so glad I go outside! Thanks for the review. Love LadyBird
Please go online to try a bag or give us a call. http://www.AlmostInvisbleCatLitter.com
That does sounds like great litter. Wonder how long it would last around here with the numbers that we have. Great review.
Sounds like a cool litter! I love the idea of it being scent and dust-free. Thank you for sharing your review!
Gee we think that stuff sounds pretty good! Maybe I’ll give it a whirl! Thanks Summer for giving this stuff a good “test” !!
Hugs, Sammy
Please give it a try:
that is interesting….we always find this innovative stuff good to know about
We’ll have to try some of this, Summer. MomKatt’s been looking for an alternative to Tidy Cat, especially with “lookers” coming to view our house that’s on sale!
Purrz! And happy weekend!
Selina
Nobody will know you have cats when you use Almost Invisible
Nice review, Summer! We’d heard about this litter and saw a photo of it online a few months ago and were really curious about it! We do sure love hearing that it has virtually no scent!
Please try a bag and see for yourself. http://www.AlmostinvisibleCatLitter.com
Sounds like good litter. Thanks for the review. I have picky kitties in my house. Don’t like me changing their litter.
Other fussy cats have switched to our litter. We recommend adding an extra tray of Almost Invisible and not forcing the choice. In 2 days or less, they will be using our product.
Sounds like cool litter! The scent and dust free parts sound the best!
Please contact us if you are interested in doing a review yourself.
That looks pretty amazing!
Thank you! It is amazing in deed. Please try a bag http://www.AlmostInvisibleCatLitter.Com
Never experienced a stinky litterbox, dedicated scoopers here, but the dust really kills me and I sweep/vacuum sometimes twice a day other wise the whole apartment looks like a litterbox!
We call it “virtually” dust free. You will see a puff of dust the first time you pour out the bag. When the cat is scratching or you are cleaning, there is no dust and you will NEVER NEVER NEVER see a footprint in your house again.
That sounds like great litter!
The Florida Furkids
we might have to give that a try. I’m sure we would have felt the same way even without seeing action shots of binga and you trying out the litter.
That looks like interesting litter…’specially if it doesn’t smell.
It does not smell even after several weeks of use. Just scoop and stir every day.
That sounds like amazing litter and as it’s dust free that would be a big bonus.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
You will be impressed. Please try some at http://www.AlmostInvisibleCatLitter.com
– both you and Binga sure went in and used it quickly!
Our litter has a particle size close to sand and it is totally unscented. Cats instinctively want to use this type of litter and it feels very natural when they step on it.
We’re a Tidy Cat household here. Mom is afraid to make any changes at all, just in case it triggers unwanted behaviors.
We recommend adding an extra box with any new litter and not forcing a choice. With this technique. the cat acceptance rate of Almost Invisible Cat Litter is over 90%.
Sounds like good stuff !
Hmm, looks interesting. I’m always on the hunt for litter that would suit both cats, but especially Nicki with his asthma. How often do you have to change it out entirely? I’m used to clumping clay litter that gets replaced only every few weeks or so (scooped out multiple times a day and spot-cleaned along the sides because Nicki pees right on the inside of any box, right on the plastic). Finding something dust-free, scent-free and *easily* scoopable has been impossible so far. So I hope they release the product in Canada, to try! (BTW, I’ve recently tried the crushed walnut litter and it clumps nicely, but neither of the boys likes it, for whatever reason.)
I have a boy cat(kona) and a girl cat (Emma). I got them that litter too. Emma and I (not for the same reason she did!!)both liked it! Kona hated it. So I think it might be that the male cats just can’t stand the natural litter . ( maybe it is just because of the outdoor scent?)
In a non humid climate, you should expect to change the entire box once every 28 days with 1 cat, provided you scoop ant stir your tray which takes just a few seconds. We do ship our products to Canada. http://www.AlmostInvisibleCatLitter.com. Use Anti-Icky-Poo, available at Ant-icky-poo.com to deodorize the smell when the box gets missed
StovePipe the Traveling Cat, our spokescat, lives with 2 sisters, and they each use Almost Invisible Cat Litter so I doubt it is a male/female thing.
OMC, I hope they release this in NZ, we really need a litter like this. That Hammy is S-T-I-N-K-Y and this litter sounds perfect!
(Miss Summer, how did you get so BIG so fast??)
Well, that sounds like cool stuff.
Glad you liked it 🙂
