Premium Cat Litter

When looking for the required cat supplies, a litter box will prioritize after food and water. Whether you are already a cat owner or are planning to welcome a new kitten or adult cat to your family, consider choosing premium cat litter over lower quality brands. While you might save money buying the least expensive litter in the store, you will probably regret not spending a little more for a better product. There is a surprising array of litter choices in pet stores and supermarkets. It can be difficult for a cat owner to know what to choose for their pet. In this article you will learn more about the various types of litter available.


Many brands of cat litter are made with clay. Clay litter comes in two varieties -- clumping and non clumping. Clumping clay litter forms scoopable clumps so it is easy to remove waste from the box. A sifter style litter scoop is ideal because it catches the clumps while allowing loose litter to fall back down into the box. Non clumping clay litter does not form these scoopable clumps but releases less dust. The odor control of this type of litter depends on how often you clean the box and change the litter. In these categories of litter you will find brands featuring odor destroying crystals and formulations for multiple cats.

Crystal litter is another type which is made primarily from sand. This litter does not clump, however its benefits include odor control and non-toxicity. You should dump this type of litter once per week, clean the box then refill with fresh product. Crystal litter is similar to natural litter because it is non-toxic and often biodegradable. Natural litter includes Feline Pine, a brand made from pine with no silica dust. Other types of natural litter are made from recycled paper and even wheat. You can get varieties of natural litter that clump and those that do not.

As you can see, premium cat litter comes in several different types. You may want to browse the aisles of your favorite pet supply store and read the packaging before making a selection. Your goal is to choose the litter that is not only best for your cat, but your household. Litter boxes should be placed in inconspicuous places and kept very clean. This will reduce cat odors in your home and your cat will prefer it. The cleaner the box, the more likely your cat will consistently use it and not have accidents on the floor.
