Paper Cat Litter

When you think of cat litter, you probably think of the old fashioned clay kind. Clay litter comes in clumping and non-clumping varieties and is sold in a variety of stores. However it may not always be the best choice for your cat. Kittens should not use clumping litter as it may be hazardous to their health. Even if your cat is grown clay litter can produce a lot of dust and may aggravate indoor air pollution. If you have asthma or allergies litter dust may be intolerable for you. One environmentally friendly solution is paper cat litter.


Cat litter made from paper is a fairly new trend in the world of pet supplies. Much of the time, the litter is made from recycled paper making it even more beneficial. You can even make your own litter by shredding newspaper or junk mail into tiny pieces. While paper litter doesn't clump like clay, it is very economical and good for the earth. You can make your homemade paper litter more odor resistant by adding baking soda and/or essential oils to the litter box. There are store bought deodorizers that may be worth a try also. They help trap and hide odors for a fresher litter box longer.

If you're not one to make homemade cat litter, you can buy it. Purina makes Yesterday's News Cat Litter. This litter contains at least 70 percent recycled paper. The paper is in pellets designed to trap moisture and odors, three times more than clay. There is little if any dust produced by this type of paper litter. Because it comes from the Purina company you can trust you are getting a product by a time trusted brand. This litter comes in different size bags and pound for pound you get more use out of it than with clay.

Kitty Soft Paper Litter is another popular brand. This litter is also made from recycled paper pellets and features baking soda for superior odor control. In addition to paper cat litter, you might want to try other types of natural litter like cedar, corn, wheat and sand. These litters are certainly more environmentally friendly and you may find you and your cat like them better than traditional clay based litter products.
