Cat litter is one of the most important items you’ll buy for your cat, but one that is often not given much thought. Cats are very clean creatures, and providing them with a suitable cat litter is vital for their health and happiness. Anything that disturbs their toilet habits can cause stress, and even illness, which leads to an unhappy cat and possibly messy “accidents”. The World’s Best Cat Litter formulas form tight, hard clumps, thanks to the absorbent nature of compressed corn. The clumps do not crumble easily, allowing for easy scooping. According to most customers, compressed corn is far more effective at clumping waste than clay litter. World’s Best Cat Litter formulas are designed to suit cats of all ages. This is because their formulas are not only dust-free but also pet, people, and planet-friendly since they are made from sustainable corn and do not contain added chemicals.

If you’re using a non-clumping product, it must do its job well. Any non-clumping litter should be insanely absorbent and not completely saturated after a day’s use. Keep in mind that because it’s non-clumping, you’ll likely end up emptying the entire box at once. Odor Control We admit we were a bit sceptical about their 99% dust-free claim. That said, there was very little dust when pouring into the litter tray. Cat's can be fussy, so unfortunately buying the best cat litter for them won't guarantee that they'll like using it. The best way to dispose of cat litter is to scoop it into a biodegradable poop bag, and then place in your normal household bin, or a cat litter bin.Old litter should be completely replaced at least once a week and replaced with fresh cat litter, and this is a great time to clean out your litter boxes. Throw away all of the dirty litter and give the litter boxes a good rinse down and clean with some warm, soapy water. You can buy cat-safe cleaning products for this, although we don’t think they’re absolutely necessary; do avoid any strong bathroom cleaners or bleach, as anything with a strong chemical content or even smell can be off-putting to your kitty.

We saturated a set amount of cat litter with water, and then drained it through a sieve and re-weighed the water to see how much had been absorbed by the cat litter.Okay, so we understand you might not want to be flushing cat litter down the family toilet, but it’s great to know that if you don’t fancy fertilizing your flower beds or adding to landfill, that there’s another option when it comes to disposing of the contents of your cat’s litter box.

The best litter for your cat depends on a number of factors, including whether your cat has long or short hair, if they have sensitive paws or any any allergies, your budget, and how much time you have to keep their litter tray clean. In testing, this litter produced a little bit of dust when pouring it into the litter box, but I found it performed quite well overall. This litter forms very firm, cohesive clumps that are easy to scoop, and the odor control was pretty strong. If you remove solid waste and stir the litter daily, crystal cat litter can effectively serve you for up to a month before disposal. Because this type of litter has such great longevity, it’s more expensive than clay and some biodegradable products. Biodegradable Cat Litter 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. WoodA natural pine scent helps to control what would otherwise be a pungent urine odor, making the area around the litter tray feel far fresher as a result. Since it's non-clumping, it's going to be less effective in hiding the smell of feces but scooping away the poo should keep on top of that. Indeed, the manufacturer recommends removing solid waste daily, then replenishing it with extra pellets. The waste can be composted.
