Choosing the Right Cat Litter for Your Home
A practical guide to finding the perfect litter for your cat and lifestyle.
With so many options on the market, choosing the right cat litter can feel overwhelming. From clumping to non-clumping, scented to unscented, the choice you make affects not just your cat’s comfort but also your home environment.
Here’s our guide to help you pick the best litter for your cat’s needs and your household preferences.
What types of cat litter are available?
-
Clumping litter
Forms solid clumps when wet, making it easy to scoop and maintain a cleaner tray for longer. -
Non-clumping litter
Absorbs moisture but doesn’t form clumps. It needs changing more frequently but can be lighter and less dusty. -
Silica crystal litter
Highly absorbent and controls odour well. The crystals turn colour as they become saturated. -
Natural and biodegradable litter
Made from materials like wood, corn, pea husks, or recycled paper. Eco-friendly and often compostable.
Factors to consider when choosing litter
-
Odour control: Does it neutralise smells effectively, especially in multi-cat households?
-
Dust levels: Low-dust litters are better for cats with respiratory sensitivities and keep your home cleaner.
-
Clumping ability: Makes scooping easier and extends litter life.
-
Scented or unscented: Some cats dislike strong fragrances. If your cat avoids scented litter, opt for unscented.
-
Eco-friendliness: Biodegradable options are better for the planet and often gentler on cats’ paws.
-
Tracking: Some litters stick to paws and end up around the house. Larger granules or heavier litters track less.
