If you remember, I was given a pack of Magic Litter to try two days ago.
Website: http://avideco.com.my/magic_litter.html
I couldn’t imagine not being able to scoop used litter so I thought I would never be able to like it, but after two days, I actually do!
Based on my experience, this is how it works: The cat pees onto it, it becomes wet and it does stick to the bottom of the box. If you notice it, you can scoop it up to throw, but if you dont and you leave it there for a while (a few hours), it gets fermented and it is completely dry again.
After two days, it is still completely dry and there is no odour as far as I can detect.
But then again, you must remember my nose is de-sensitized after having coped with Cow’s spraying and all, so I asked a friend to help me sniff! She said she detected a wee bit of smell (that’s on close range) but it was just a wee bit and hardly noticeable. Now, she has a very keen sense of smell.
But the acid test is, do all my cats use it?
I’ve seen Tabs, Bunny, Tiger and Cleo use it, and I’ve also seen Pole and Indy step into it, but I’m not sure if they have used it. But so far, no one has poo-ed in it. They prefer the Ever Clean for poo-ing, I don’t know why!
The salesperson advised me to mix it with my old litter, ie. one-third first, then two-thirds, etc. I did that with one litter box and all the cats use that, even for poo-ing.
In case you are interested to try, you could order online and it will be delivered to your doorstep if your order exceeds RM30 and you live in the Klang Valley.
The online price is only RM15.90 for a 10litre pack.
That’s really very affordable, especially if you have many litter boxes.
The best part is, it is environs-friendly, biodegradable and organic. The fermentation is caused by the probiotics added to the wood flakes. There is no clumping.
And one packet is incredibly light-weight, too, since it is just wood flakes.

I am on Magic litter over the last 1 month. When i ordered it was priced at RM16.90/bag. My feedback about it was,to be cautious about the sharp wood chips that has sharp edges, which can pierce into the kittens paws. 2ndly, the poo actually started to attract small flies and the smell gets worst if we don’t scoop on the same day.3rd, the urine does gets dried up but not after the 4th day onwards. A week after the smell gets slightly uncomfortable. So I started changing the entire litter every 5 days once and scoop 2 times daily.I still had to use the litter sand at the bottom then top it up with the magic litter (wood chips)to scoop the poop easily. My feedback to the sales person was it would be safer for small kittens if the chops are the shaved type or if it doesn’t have sharp edges. My concern is now if the wood chips are really flushable cause I had to deal with a a clogged toilet today..lol I think I am moving to Oko Plus.
Thanks for the feedback. I’m only into my 2nd day, so I still have a long way to go. Yes, a friend is ordering Oko Plus for me, too. Will try that as well.
Thanks for all the feedback on the Magic Litter. Am using Goodie Cat now RM18 per 10kg, but not biodegradable. For a biodegradable, Magic Litter is very affordable! But my concern is after mixing with the old litters, will it be a problem scooping the clumped pee cos the wood chips seems too big to fall thru the scoop.
Most of it falls through the holes of my scooper. It depends on what type of scoop you use, but be prepared to lose some unused wood flakes. With Breeder’s Celect paper pellets, I loose a lot of good pellets because none of the pellets can go through the holes of my scooper. I think once we mix, this is bound to happen.
