Cat litter: everything you need to know before choosing

Cats are independent pets with unique needs, especially when it comes to their litter box. Choosing the right litter is essential to creating a comfortable, clean, and healthy environment for them. How do you choose the right litter? This guide will provide you with all the information you need.

Why invest in quality sand?

Using non-designated litter can expose your cat to bacteria, parasites, or harmful substances. Furthermore, regular litter doesn't always absorb odors and liquids effectively, which can lead to unpleasant odors and a less hygienic environment.

To meet the needs of cats and their owners, there are three main types of litter: basic litter, absorbent (non-clumping) litter, and clumping litter. Each type has its own advantages, and the choice depends on your preferences and the needs of your cat.

Types of cat litter

Basic sand: Suitable for outdoor use such as patios or balconies. Although it is cheap and easy to obtain, it is less suitable for the home because it does not prevent dirt from spreading.

Clumping sand: A popular solution due to its ability to crystallize liquids into solid clumps. It allows for easy cleaning and keeps the litter box fresh for longer. To ensure hygiene, it is recommended to add new sand from time to time and filter out clumps.

Absorbent litter: Ideal for sensitive cats, absorbs moisture quickly but does not clump. Suitable for those who prefer to thoroughly clean the litter box frequently.

Choosing the right litter will improve not only your cat's comfort, but also your quality of life, with less odors and easier cleaning.
