Choosing the right litter affects your cat's litter box habits and your home's cleanliness. Here's what to consider.
Types of Cat Litter
Clumping clay litter forms solid clumps around waste, making scooping easy and keeping the box cleaner longer.
Crystal litter absorbs moisture and controls odor well, and typically needs less frequent full changes.
Natural litters (corn, wheat, or paper-based) are biodegradable and a good option for cats with sensitivities or households wanting a more eco-friendly choice.
What Cats Actually Prefer
Most cats prefer a soft, sand-like texture and unscented litter — strong fragrances can actually deter cats from using the box. If your cat is avoiding the litter box, texture or scent may be the issue.
Box Maintenance Tips
Scoop daily and do a full litter change on a regular schedule depending on the type used. Keep the box in a quiet, accessible location, and provide one box per cat plus one extra as a general rule.
