"In recent years, there have been leaps and bounds in the pet tech sphere as a whole-including where our cats go potty and what litter they go potty in. In the past, the choices were an absorbent clay whose main compound was calcium bentonite, sawdust, or sand. Now, we have high-tech crystal litter, which aims to show health issues through changing color; eco-friendly tofu litter; and all types of clumping clay litter between."
"There are many reasons why you may want to change your litter. Your cat may be like mine, with sensitivities to strong odors or smells that can cause allergies or allergy-like symptoms like red eyes or itching. Or maybe your cat is long-haired, like mine, and you're tired of litter sticking to their fur. If you want to be more eco- (and budget-) friendly, a biodegradable tofu or wood pellet litter may be better,"
No single cat litter suits every household. Low-tracking, clumping litter that fits the litter box generally performs best for cleanliness and convenience. Important factors include allergens, litter material, litter-box design, and waste-disposal methods. Options range from traditional calcium-bentonite clay, sawdust, and sand to high-tech crystal litters and biodegradable tofu or wood-pellet litters. Cats with odor sensitivities or long fur need gentler or low-stick formulations. Switching litter requires slow introduction and sometimes a different box. Trial-and-error helps identify a litter that balances cat comfort and owner ease of cleaning.
