Choosing the right cat litter helps keep your cat comfortable, the litter box cleaner, and your home fresher. A good cat litter should absorb moisture effectively, control odors, produce as little dust as possible, and feel comfortable under your cat’s paws. Our selection includes clumping and non-clumping cat litter, wood-based pellets, biodegradable options, silica crystals, scented cat litter, and unscented cat litter.

Different types of cat litter

Clumping cat litter: Forms solid clumps when it comes into contact with moisture, making daily cleaning quick and convenient. Removing only the used litter also helps keep the remaining litter fresh for longer.

Non-clumping cat litter: Absorbs moisture without forming separate clumps. It can be a suitable choice for cats that prefer a different texture or for households that use pellet-based litter.

Wood pellets and biodegradable cat litter: Wood- and plant-based litters absorb moisture and help control odors. Many of these products are biodegradable and can be a good option for those looking for a more environmentally conscious choice.

Silica crystal cat litter: Highly absorbent crystals that help lock in moisture and odors. Silica litter can often be used for longer periods between complete litter changes than many traditional alternatives.

When choosing cat litter, it is also worth considering dust levels, grain size, fragrance, and your cat’s individual preferences. Dust-free or low-dust cat litter can be particularly useful for sensitive cats and households where reducing airborne dust is important. Both scented and scent-free cat litter are available, although some cats may prefer an unscented option.

Frequently asked questions about cat litter

What is the difference between clumping and non-clumping cat litter?

Clumping cat litter forms solid clumps when it absorbs moisture, allowing used litter to be removed easily each day. Non-clumping litter absorbs moisture without forming individual clumps. The best choice depends on your cat’s preferences and how you prefer to maintain the litter box.

What type of cat litter produces the least dust?

Dust levels vary depending on the material and product. Low-dust and dust-free cat litter options can include certain wood pellets, silica crystals, and specially formulated clay litters. Always check the individual product description for specific characteristics.

Should I choose scented or unscented cat litter?

This depends largely on your cat’s preferences. Scented cat litter can help mask odors, while unscented or scent-free cat litter may be a better choice for cats that are sensitive to fragrances.

Is biodegradable cat litter available?

Yes. Biodegradable cat litter can be made from materials such as wood and other plant-based fibres. Disposal instructions vary between products, so always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

How much does cat litter delivery cost?

Delivery costs depend on the size and weight of the order and the selected delivery method. Available delivery options and current prices are shown in the shopping cart before the order is completed.

How often should a litter box be cleaned?

Clumps and solid waste should be removed daily. How often all the litter needs to be replaced depends on the type of litter, the size of the litter box, and the number of cats using it. The litter box itself should also be cleaned regularly.

Can cat litter be flushed down the toilet?

As a general rule, cat litter should not be flushed down the toilet because it can cause plumbing blockages. Always follow the manufacturer’s disposal instructions, including for biodegradable products and products labelled as flushable.
