Today, I’m going to teach you how to make your own DIY Mess-Free Cat Litter Box. But first, let’s talk about Cat litter.
If you have cats, those are the only words I need to say. Chances are, you immediately conjure images in your mind of trying in vain to get the “clump” of litter from the box to the garbage bag. Or maybe you remember the sweet, sweet feel of used cat litter dust in your throat as you try not to gag on the wonderful aroma of cat urine because your “odor control” litter is about as controlled as a pet monkey with a pot of coffee in it. And let’s not forget all of those wonderful gray footprints leading in every direction for a solid 3 feet outside of the litter box.
If that’s your litter experience, then you’re not alone. We have cats, and our littler situation was pretty much that. We love our cats, but let’s face it, cats may be clean animals, but their litter boxes are NOT. That’s why I’m loving Cat’s Pride® Fresh & Light Ultimate Care®. This stuff cuts way, way down on odor, hassle, and all of those skanky footprints all over the house.
Cat Litter that Actually Does What it Says it Will
I have to be honest, when I first saw Ultimate Care on the shelf, I was like, “Yeah. We’ll see”. You’ll notice that I put “clump” and “odor control” in quotes in my first paragraph. That’s because ever single cat litter I’ve ever used has always failed to deliver on its promises. So I was skeptical about Ultimate Care. I was so wrong.
I’m so glad I was wrong, too. Cats are complicated. They want to be petted – until they don’t. They are super clean – except for the horror show that is a litter box. Yep, they send mixed signals, alright. Thankfully, great litter like Ultimate Care is simple.
The scoop – pardon the pun – on Ultimate Care
Ultimate Care isn’t just putting a grand statement in its name. This stuff is the ultimate cat litter. It has the strongest clumping action of any brand and low dust and tracking. That means no more gagging on dust while trying in vain to keep the clump of horror together while you try to get it into your garbage can. This litter is also 50% lighter than others, weight in at only 10 pounds (see packaging for details). In addition it has over 10 days of odor control to keep down the stink. That’s no gimmick. Ultimate Care has been laboratory tested to provide awesome odor control when used as directed.
They know what they’re doing, too. Cat’s Pride has over 50 years of experience in creating cat litter. Another plus which I think is pretty great is that all of the clay used in their litter is sourced and mined in the United States, which helps the economy. And as the “dad” to rescue cats, I love that Cat’s Pride partners with the American Humane Association and the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation to help end animal cruelty. A portion of every sale of Ultimate Care goes to support the Foundation and their mission to end animal cruelty.
They’ve even gone beyond that. Cat’s Pride has a Cat’s Pride Cat Matters area that offers advice for cat owners on everything from grooming to cat care to cat fun. It’s pretty sweet.
Here’s a quick and fun DIY project that is perfect for any cat lover or cat lover family!

Cat Litter That Won’t Let You Down
I’m a convert to Ultimate Care cat litter, and I think you will be, too. Since we started using it, the smell is gone, the tracks are almost non-existent, and the clumps are no longer an exercise in madness. It’s been really great. Now EVERY part of our cats is a clean part. And the house is doing well, too. Cat’s Pride is a name I trust, and Ultimate Care is the only litter I’ll be using from now on.
