Among all the brands of clumping litter, the undisputed favorite brand for the cat experts we interviewed and our own experience is the Catit Go Natural, which is made from pea husks that are a natural biodegradable compound with powerful clumping action while absorbing unpleasant odors. For starters, it does not stick to their paws and does not produce dust. It is also non-toxic and and disposable.
Catit Go Natural litters are based on natural, sustainable sources, unlike many traditional cat litters. Plant-based litters are a safer and more planet-friendly litter choice.
This unique pea husk based litter clumps tightly and quickly, so less litter is used and a bag lasts you longer. It’s perfect for a carefree litter box routine.
Scooping is pleasant and effortless, since the smooth granules sift right through without any dust whatsoever. As the litter is composed of plant-derived particles, it feels nice and soft to cats’ sensitive paws.
We encourage the disposal of cat feces in trash and discourage flushing cat feces in toilets or disposing of them in drains. It may be disposed of in your general waste. This cat litter is not toxic, but not edible.
This litter is of vegetable origin and sustainable, it is a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional litter. Dust free, strong clumping, odor control, for all breeds of cats.
Use: Pour a thick layer of litter, about 2 to 3 inches, into the litter box and shovel out the litter daily for optimal results. Store in dry place.
The particularity of clumping litter is that both feces and urine are compacted and create conglomerates that are easily removed without wasting litter. This is a great advantage over traditional litter and justifies its price, somewhat higher, since it has a longer durability.
Some are based on natural formulas that take advantage of extracts from peas, corn, wheat or wood to create small fibers. They are the most environmentally friendly.
Other options are created from bentonite, a white clay characterized by its great absorption power.
Some clumping litter are available with or without fragrance. Cats might not like scented litter their sense of smell is very sensitive and they may be bothered by it and may reject it.
Experts recommend filling the litter box to about height of 2 to 3 inches so that the cat has enough depth to dig and hide the stool. To avoid possible bad smells, it is advisable to collect daily both the urine clumps and the agglomerations of excrement with a scoop.
If your cat, after a few days, is not familiar with the new litter, the best option is to mix it with the old one until it gets used to it. Finally, remember to replace the removed clumps with some new litter and clean the litter box thoroughly with soap and water once a week. Some cats do not like some litter (about 2 to 4%).
We recommend using a mat to capture litter that might fall from the box and use an open box if your cat is not using the box.
The advantages of using clumping litter are many. Both owners and pets will feel at ease, without unpleasant odors and being able to share the same room. Although, as already mentioned, this type of litter sometimes has a higher price than others, it is very durable.
Most cats will not eat the litter. If your cat does, go to your vet. It could be a sign of anemia or pica, the desire to eat things that are not food. Our recommendations are not dangerous in small quantities.
