Different types of cat litter

There are a variety of cat litter types on the market, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Clumping litter

This litter forms solid clumps on contact with liquid, which are easy to remove. It is particularly popular because of its ease of cleaning and effective odor control.

Non-clumping litter

Non-clumping litter absorbs liquids without forming clumps, which can make cleaning more difficult. However, it is often cheaper than clumping litter.

Silica litter

Silica litter, also known as crystal litter, is highly absorbent and provides excellent odor control. However, it is more expensive and must be completely replaced regularly.

Biodegradable litter

Made from materials such as wood shavings, paper, corn or wheat, this litter is environmentally friendly and often dust-free. It is a good choice for allergy sufferers and environmentally conscious cat owners.

Choosing the right cat litter

Choosing the right litter depends on the cat's preferences and the owner's needs. Consider factors such as odor control, dust generation, environmental compatibility and the health of your cat.

A layer of about 5-7 cm of litter in the litter tray allows your cat to dig effectively and hide its business.
