If you’re using non-clumping litter, remove solid waste every day, and replace the litter every 4-5 days/weekly. Non-clumping litters absorb urine, but instead of forming clumps, the granules of silica, wood, or paper become saturated and gradually break down over time. On each cleaning, the substrate must be stirred to distribute the ammonia in the box. There is no difference between how non-clumping and clumping litters interact with solids — feces must still be scooped daily. Tidy Cats Naturally Strong Litter is a clay-based clumping litter that is highly absorbent, contains odors well, and is relatively dust-free.

The downsides of silica cat litter are that similar to clay litter, it isn’t very eco-friendly. There is a heavy environmental cost associated with mining the raw materials, then producing and transporting the final product. It also doesn’t biodegrade, meaning once you dispose of it, it will end up in landfill. Silica is also a known carcinogen when inhaled. Also it can be quite sharp and uncomfortable on your cat’s paws, especially if they have sensitive pads. Wood The biggest disadvantage of clay litter though is that it isn’t very green. The process to extract the clay (called strip mining) is not environmentally friendly at all and leads to deforestation, loss of wildlife habitat and pollution to name but a few. Clay cat litter also isn’t biodegradable or compostable either so just ends up in landfill until the end of time.For scent, I went by the advice of Dr. Catherine Tannert, co-medical director of VCA Old Marple Animal Hospital,who said, "Cats prefer unscented litter to the cloying smell of kitty litters that are developed for the owner's perception of cleanliness." I did a sniff test of each litter in both phases of testing, including the thankless job of lifting clumps of litter to my nose to gauge how much of an ammonia scent they emitted.

There are three main areas that are good for litter box placement; these are inside a bathroom, a spare room, or a laundry or utility room. As these areas get less foot traffic from the humans in the house, the cat will feel more secure and comfortable using the litter tray. To Sum Up I tested the cat litters in two phases: a pre-cat phase and a cat phase. First, I compared litters belonging to the same category in heats of four at a time, assessing them for a variety of factors, including clumping ability, dustiness, scent, and texture. Cons: Some cats dislike the texture and weight of paper pellets, pellets fall apart over time, odors may increase over time as pellets become saturated with urine Silica gel or crystal litters are made from sodium silicate sand, a naturally occurring material acquired through strip mining. They do not contain crystalline silicate or other carcinogenic materials that may be harmful to cats, but the inhalation of microscopic silica dust over time could lead to respiratory issues. Arm & Hammer Cloud Control Litter: Arm & Hammer's Cloud Control was the least absorbent litter out of the nine clay varieties, although what liquid it absorbed clumped solidly. A heavy litter perfumed with a light laundry scent, Cloud Control is, at the very least, dust-free.Pros: Many formulas are low dust, natural scent of some varieties controls odors without additives, biodegradable, made from sustainable materials Throughout this article, different types of cat litter have been discussed, listing three of the best options for cat owners to buy. The types cat owners can choose from include: Pretty Litter's color-changing silica gel formula is an early warning system for detecting feline urinary health problems. Cons: Ammonia scent toward end of litter's lifespan (around 12 days for two cats), false health readings toward end of litter's lifespan (around 14 days for two cats)

Pioneer Pet Smart Cat Lightweight Clumping Litter: This lightweight, unscented litter absorbs liquid and clumps well, but the moisture that escaped to mix with clay at the bottom of the pan was surprisingly challenging to remove. Pretty Litter did a good job of controlling odors. The closer we got to the end of the litter's lifespan (about two weeks for two cats), the more I noticed a slight ammonia scent. Around that same time, the litter can also give false color readings. We had one stressful morning when one of my cat's urine turned blue. It turned out the only thing that was wrong was that I hadn't changed the litter fast enough. The unscented medium-grain clay litter satisfies a cat's need to scratch, dig, and bury their waste. It produces very little dust, making it a good choice for cats with respiratory issues. Clay cat litter - different clay types, usually bentonites (which are highly absorbent), which are dug out of the ground, compressed and dehydrated into granules. Paper cat litter - usually recycled paper, old newspapers and byproducts from wood production, which are compressed into pellets.

Why Use Cat Litter?

Wood pellet cat litter - more sustainable than most types, made up of compressed and dehydrated wood or sawdust, often made up of byproducts from wood production used to make something else, such as furniture. Some cat litters have added fragrances, such as pine, to hide the unpleasant smells. However while these smells might be attractive to us humans, they don’t have the same effect on cats and could put them off. Just think how it feels to go into a room where someone has sprayed a really strong perfume – it can be rather unpleasant and overbearing. This is how it would feel to a cat, who has a much more sensitive sense of smell compared to us humans. Cats also mark their territory with their scent, so by masking it with artificial smells this could also put them off using the tray.
