Two months ago I downsized and moved into a smaller condo. I brought my two sweet kitties with me and they are having a blast. Meanwhile though, for two months I have been a maniac trying out different cat litters, like Swheat Scoop Cat Litter and Fresh Step Scoopable Litter with New Odor Eliminating Carbon to fight against their somewhat unpleasant deposits. Unfortunately I am one of those pet owners who refuses to quit feeding their cats canned fish flavored cat foods even though I know it will cause their litter to really smell. I have tried about fifteen different cat litters and I have to say I had the highest hope for the Sweat Scoop Cat Litter and the Fresh Step Scoopable Litter with New Odor Eliminating Carbon when I saw their advertisements. My eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store. Sad, but true. I had high hopes for both of these products, but each, like all of the others has its pluses and minus.

Smell is the most important factor I considered while using both the Swheat Scoop Cat Litter and the Swheat Scoop Cat Litter Versus Fresh Step Scoopable Litter with New Odor Eliminating Carbon. I mean how well it hid the smell left by my cats, not how it smelled coming out of the box. In general both the Swheat Scoop Cat Litter and the Fresh Step Scoopable Litter had either no or very little smell coming out of the box. I found that the Sweat Scoop Cat Litter did very well hiding the smell of the cat urine while the Fresh Step Scoopable Litter did a better job of covering the smell of cat feces.

Takeaways
  • A 14-pound box of Sweat Scoop Cat Litter is very affordable at around $8.99.
  • A 14 lb box of Fresh Step Scoopable Litter with New Odor Eliminating Carbon is $9.99.
  • Fresh Step Scoopable Litter did a better job of covering the smell of cat feces.
Did You Know?
The box exclaims that you can scoop the same litter for a month without having to change it, but I do not recommend this. I think two weeks is the maximum I have been able to go between dumping out the Fresh Step Scoopable Litter and starting fresh.
