what type of litter is best for cats?

It can be a tough decision to decide which type of litter is best for your cats. The wrong choice could leave your home covered in mess and make scooping the box more difficult than it needs to be. To help you figure out the right choice for you and your cats, here are some key factors to consider when shopping for litter.

The most common types of cat litter are clay, wood, wheat or corn-based litters. Clay litters are usually the least expensive option but can be hard on allergies and cause your cat to track it around your house. Wood and wheat or corn-based litters are a bit pricier but tend to generate less dust so they're better for those with allergies.

When selecting a cat litter, you'll need to consider your own lifestyle habits as well as those of your cats. For example, some litters have a tendency to stick to fur or paws as felines come out of the box which can make them more likely to track the litter around your home. And if you're going away on vacation, keeping multiple boxes with different types of litter might help reduce tracking while ensuring that at least one is scooped while you're away.

Natural clumping bentonite clay litter is another popular option; this type of litter clumps together when wet allowing you to easily scoop it out and dispose of it fast. Clumping capabilities aside, however; this clay based product still generates dust and has been known to contain chemicals that could potentially harm pets over time so consider if natural blend clumping bentonite clay is a good fit for you before investing in it.

Something else worth taking into consideration for households with multiple felines is odor control; some litters just do a better job at masking odors than others (like Natural Care deodorizing cat litter made from recycled paper). Additionally, some brands also have scented options available if desired (though opting for unscented typically works best).
