Cat Litter

Selecting the right litter for cats can make a big difference for both you and your cat. With many options available, from clay to plant-based and dust free cat litter, focusing on a few essential features can help you find the best fit:

• Odour control: Clumping litters and those with activated carbon mask odours well. Scented litters may appeal to owners but only use if your cat tolerates the fragrance.
• Dust levels: High dust can irritate sensitive cats and owners. Dust-free or pellet-based litters are often chosen by owners looking to reduce tracking and cater to allergies and sensitivities.
• Grain size and texture: Fine grains clump and mask odours better; coarser grains like wood pellets track less and suit long-haired cats or kittens.
• Ease of cleaning: Clumping litter allows spot scooping, while non-clumping requires full changes more often, especially for urine.
• Environmental impact: Plant-based litters (wood, corn or paper) tend to break down faster than clay and are often considered a more sustainable option by environmentally conscious owners.
• Value for money: Bulk buying benefits multi-cat households; eco-friendly or silica litters may cost more upfront but last longer.
• Cat preferences: Some cats prefer soft, sandy textures; others do better with coarser, low-dust, or unscented options.
• Accessories: Litter tray liners, mats, scoops, and cat litter deodorants can help reduce mess and ease cleaning.
