PrettyLitter

Cat litter that lasts for a month sounds too good to be true, right? Well, this brand stays fresh for 30 days, is free of irritating dust, and uses color-changing technology to alert you to any health issues your kitty may be hiding. It can sense everything from UTIs to kidney problems to bladder stones, which (in our opinion) is pretty impressive for cat litter. One of our editors tried it, and found that the odor elimination was frankly astounding. PrettyLitter, $21 at prettylittercats.com
