The KCC Cat Litter Check List | #FreshStepFebreze
Sharing my home with five cats is one of the greatest joys of my life. Though I wouldn’t trade my babies for anything in the world, there is one aspect to coexisting with cats that I am always looking to improve upon – the litter box situation! Multiple cats means multiple litter boxes, which could easily mean a very stinky house. However, I am often complimented by house guests who comment on how surprised they are that they can’t smell the litter boxes at all. My secret? Scooping regularly (at least 2-3 times a day) and finding that purrfect litter that makes dealing with the boxes a breeze…

When I heard that Fresh Step litter was coming out with a BRAND NEW formula, Fresh Step® with the POWER of Febreze™, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a box! I’ve got a list of must-have features for litters that we use, and it is difficult to find one litter that meets all my qualifications.

- Safe ✓
- Affordable ✓
- Easy to find ✓
Now here’s how Fresh Step with the POWER of Febreze does it all —
Odor Control
Nobody likes a stinky litter box, cats or humans – that’s a given. Fresh Step with the POWER of Febreze takes odor control to the next level – it doesn’t just mask the odors, it eliminates them for 10 days, GUARANTEED! Scooping the box regularly is still a must (sorry, nobody is ever going to get out of that duty), but this new Fresh Step formula does an amazing job of eliminating the smell of the litter box between scoopings – a huge plus for you and your cat(s)!
Clumping
Having a litter that clumps well is extremely important to us. Fresh Step with the POWER of Febreze uses ClumpLock® Technology, locking in liquid and odor on contact to form tight clumps. These clumps can then be easily and effortlessly scooped out of the box without breaking apart or leaving behind any icky bits. This is perhaps our favorite feature of this new litter.
Scent
As regular users of unscented litter, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Fresh Step with the POWER of Febreze has mastered the fine line between no scent and too much scent. While nobody likes a stinky litter box, nobody likes their entire house to be filled with the perfumey scent of cat litter either. This litter has the signature light and clean Febreze scent to it, almost unnoticeable until you scoop or pour. I like that I can’t smell it when I walk by, but whenever I scoop, instead of smelling undesirable odors, I am greeted with the gentle freshness of Febreze. And honestly, who doesn’t like the smell of Febreze?
Low Dust Formula
One of the biggest down-sides to so many litters is how dusty they can be. The new Fresh Step with the POWER of Febreze has a lower dust formula than their previous formulas, which means less tracking, clearer air, and cleaner surfaces!
Safe
Using a litter that I know isn’t going to be harmful to my cats is a must. This new line of litter was created with your cat’s health and happiness in mind.
Affordable & Easy to Find
With five cats, you can imagine how much litter we go through in a month. Fresh Step with the POWER of Febreze doesn’t break the bank though, which we greatly appreciate. It is also easy to find at your local PetSmart! You can quickly grab a box while you’re out shopping for your cat’s other needs – how convenient is that?!

Sophie, you made a most excellent model. We hope you got well paid for your hard work. We’re a Tidy Cat household; after some medical issues, Mom became obsessive about cleaning the boxes here. Which is good for everyone.
Val Silver says
Wish we had this product when I had a kitty and the ever smelling box.
spencerthegoldendoodle.com says
Caster is amazing! And he did such a good job going to the store and review this product!!! By the way, is your liter box a big container with a lid??? Genius! 🙂
Kitty Cat Chronicles says
Our litter box IS a big plastic container! But no lid. They make the best litter boxes!
Tamago says
That’s a great information! I’m a big fan of good clumping litters. Sophie is looking very pretty posing with the box!
Kelly says
I’m going to have to keep my eyes open for this litter! Perfect with 2 cats in the house.
Colehaus Cats says
Great review! We liked everything about this Fresh Step litter with Febreeze except the dust… which we realize we are just not going to get 100% away from.
Brian Frum says
That was a great review gang! We’ve never done good with litter that has added scents due to our 2 kitties with asthma.
Golden Daily Scoop says
Great post! What an adorable model! 🙂
Tenacious Little Terrier says
Litterboxes are the bf’s least favorite. He cat sits occasionally, I’ll have to tell him to check this out.
Ellen Pilch says
Sophie looks so cute modeling, she should be their spokescat. Great review.
The Island Cats says
What an excellent spokescat you are, Sophie!
M. K. Clinton says
Sophie makes such a beautiful model. Cat litter has improved by leaps and bounds since I bought it.
Sometimes Cats Herd You says
We’re so glad you found something that worked for you! Humans really like having a fresh-smelling house, and it sounds like that litter helps.
Pawesome Cats says
Sophie is one of the best kitty models I’ve seen.
Summer says
My human TRIES to keep the litter boxes from smelling… but you know, the moment she finishes getting one clean, one of us has to go back and make sure it still smells like kitty! 😉
Dusty Desert Dogs says
oh man, i wish i had this when i had my kitty!
The Swiss Cats says
Great review ! Purrs
Maureen says
I don’t have cats mainly because of the odor problem, it would be wonderful it this really helps. I’ll certainly share this info with my cat loving friends too!
The Daily Pip says
Wow, that’s great – I assumed there would be a heavy scent to this litter because of the Febreeze. Also, happy to hear it’s low dust
We are frequent scoopers in our house, too!
Robin says
I absolutely love that photo of Sophie with the box of litter! She is a doll. This sounds like a great litter too. I like that it clumps so well! 🙂
Beth says
I’m so impressed with your cat going to PetSmart and then posing for a photo. I have to admit, when I read you had 5 cats, I wondered about the litterbox odor. Sounds like you don’t have a problem at all.
christy says
Great post – I’ll share with all my cat friend as they’re always looking for recommendations.
The Daily Pip says
Hi – I’m doing a series on special needs adoptions called “The Specials” This week I’m focusing on a CH kitty and her brother who also has some neurological issues as a result of an injury. Just wanted to let you know, that I’m also going to provide a link to your blog for people who might want more information. Hoping to get the post up by tomorrow morning.
jodiclock says
Purrfect review – we have multiple cats – odor can be problematic. Thanks!
Cathy Armato says
What a great idea to add Febreze to kitty litter! Love your adorable photos.
Love & biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
Sweet Purrfections says
We happy to hear the litter works for you. Sophie makes an excellent model!
Mary E Haight says
Looks like you found a winner that works for you and yours! I also can’t take heavy odors in soaps or anything really, so it’s interesting the litter doesn’t smell when you walk by, just when you scoop. Thanks for the information — even though I don’t have cats, I have friends who do =)
Pipo/Minko/MrJackFreckles says
Hmmm…meowmy is actually furry allergic to any scents..so she wouldn’t be able to use that. We use an unscented baking soda variety…not too bad…if Pipo covers up his doings…mostly Minko has to do that for him, MOL!! He must be offended by the Pipo stench, OMC!!

What a stunning cat model! Sounds like you have this litter stuff down packed! Great review.
MattieDog says
I purchased some of this today for my neighbor’s kitty! I heard so much about it and lots of great reviews, like yours, I thought she might benefit. Thank you for your helpful information!
Sadie says
We scoop the Rooster’s boxes every day but don’t change the boxes as often. This sounds like a great product for top up only days.
