In a previous post, weâve covered what kind of litter box is best for your cat. This time around, weâll be talking all about the litter itself and what you should take note of when choosing the best kind of litter for your cat đ˝ .
1. Odourless đ đ : Cats have a strong sense of smell and may be averse to the scent of the litter. The artificial scents may also cause allergies and respiratory problems.
2. Dust-free â đ¨ : It is best to choose a litter that is as dust-free as you can find. The dust that gets stirred up while the cat uses his litter box may be inadvertently inhaled, causing long-term respiratory issues in your furkid.
3. Fast and Hard Clumping đ : More a matter of convenience, clumping litter forms a hard, solid ball when it comes into contact with liquid, making scooping your catâs waste much easier than non-clumping ones. Your cats will also have a lesser chance of getting their paws dirty from stepping in urine.
4. Flushable đ đ˝ : There are all-natural litters available that are flushable too, minimising the use of plastic bags to get rid of the waste. However, itâs important to make sure that your toilet can withstand the constant flushing of big chunks or theyâll get clogged!
5. Smaller particle size đŹ đ : Most cats prefer smaller litter particle sizes as they feel
better on the paws and more closely resemble the sand and dirt in the wildness.
