Cat Litter

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cat litter is best for odour control?

For superior odour control, crystal litters and clumping clay litters are highly effective. Crystal litter absorbs moisture and traps odours instantly, while high-quality clumping clays use activated charcoal or baking soda to neutralise smells before they spread.

How often should I completely change the cat litter?

This depends on the material. Clumping litter should have waste scooped daily and be fully replaced every 2–4 weeks. Non-clumping or natural litters may require a full tray change once a week. Always wash the tray with mild soap during a full change.

Can I flush natural cat litter down the toilet?

While some natural litters made from corn, soy (tofu), or recycled paper are labelled as flushable, it is important to check your local plumbing regulations and the specific product packaging. It is generally safer to dispose of waste in a biodegradable bag.

Cat Litter Buying Guide

Finding the right cat litter is a balance between your cat’s preference and your household needs. Clumping cat litter is a popular choice for easy cleaning, as it forms solid lumps around liquid waste that can be scooped out without emptying the whole tray. If you prefer low maintenance, crystal cat litter is highly absorbent and requires less frequent changing, making it ideal for busy owners.

For eco-conscious households, natural cat litters made from recycled paper, pine, or tofu offer a sustainable alternative that is often low-dust and biodegradable. Consider your cat's paw sensitivity when choosing; kittens often prefer softer textures like paper, while adult cats may be less picky about the larger grains found in clay or crystal varieties.
