What type of cat litter is best for odour control?

While frequent scooping of the litter tray (or using a self cleaning one) is the most effective way to reduce litter box odour , some cat litters are superior to others when it comes to odour control. Clumping , crystal and corn based litter are highly effective at absorbing urine, which helps lock odours away when compared to non clumping alternatives. Scented litters or those with added deodorisers such as baking soda may also help, however it is important to note that cats can be very sensitive to smells and may not accept a fragranced litter.

How often should I change my cat's litter box?

It is generally recommended to scoop the litter box daily to remove waste and maintain cleanliness. Depending on the type of litter used, the entire litter should be replaced and the box cleaned thoroughly at least every 1 to 2 weeks. For multi-cat households or high-traffic areas, more frequent changes may be necessary. Self cleaning litter boxes are a super convenient option to keep your cat's litter box clean and fresh without daily manual scooping.

Can I use biodegradable litter for my cat?

Yes, there are several eco-friendly cat litter options made from sustainable materials such as recycled paper, wood pellets, corn, or tofu. These litters are biodegradable and often have minimal environmental impact as many are flushable or suitable for home compost, meaning less waste goes to landfill. Always follow the manufacturer's directions for disposing of cat litter after use.

How do I stop my cat from kicking litter everywhere?

To reduce your cat from kicking litter everywhere, you may need to size up your litter box and switch to one with a hood or high sides. Larger particle sized, heavier weight litters such as tofu pellets can also help as they are less likely to be flicked out of the tray or be tracked out on your cat's paws. Providing a litter mat outside of the tray can also help to catch any litter that makes it outside.

What are the benefits of clumping vs. non-clumping cat litter?

Both clumping and non-clumping cat litters have their own advantages. Clumping cat litter traps moisture to form clumps, which reduces odour and makes it easier to clean. Often this means you save money by using less litter overall as only the soiled portions are being removed and the whole tray can be changed less frequently. Non clumping litter is typically less expensive and gentler on your cat's paws, depending on the material used. Some non-clumping litters are made from natural materials like recycled paper or plant-based fibres which may be suitable for home composting, making them more environmentally friendly. Ultimately, the best choice for you depends on your personal preferences and your cat's needs. Consider factors like your budget, your cat's sensitivity to litter, and the level of odour control you desire.
