Clay litter is popular but dusty. Opt for low dust brands for your cat's health. Choose clumping for easy cleaning and odor control.
Walnut litter: low dust, eco-friendly, soft on paws, no tracking. Non-clumping, needs frequent stirring, odor potential, hard to spot waste.
Tofu: eco-friendly, clumping litter. Pricey, but reduces odors. Renewable materials, dust-free. Good clay alternative.
Silica gel: strange litter that absorbs moisture well, reduces odor, but pricey. Requires frequent mixing for better absorption.
Expensive, absorbent litter. Quick urine absorption, reduces odor. Larger pebble size may be uncomfortable for some cats.
Grass litter: eco-friendly, clumping or non-clumping, biodegradable, renewable, flushable, no downsides.
Paper litter: absorbent but non-clumping. Good for travel, but not effective against odors at home. Soggy mess with multiple cats.
Inexpensive, renewable corn litter: lightweight, tight clumping, less needed, cost-effective.
Pine litter: fresh pine scent masks odors, keeps home fresh. Clumping/non-clumping options. Some dislike year-long Christmas smell.
