What is the best cat litter?

26 July 2023

Every new cat owner has faced the daunting question: what is the best cat litter for my cat? With several options on the market, each promising unique benefits, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

Cats are as individual in their preferences as they are in their dietary habits. Some are particularly finicky about where they do their business. To help streamline your selection process and avoid the hassle of purchasing multiple bags of unused cat litter, we’ve compiled this guide to help you find the best cat litter for your feline friend.

What to consider when choosing your cat litter?

While a simple Google search may highlight popular brands, let’s delve deeper to find the best cat litter in the UK that will make your cat purr with satisfaction.

Here are some essential considerations before making your purchase:

Clumping or Non-Clumping?

Clumping cat litter is often a concern for cat parents due to the potential risks if ingested. Designed to form easy-to-scoop lumps, clumping litters can cause blockages in a cat’s digestive system, especially in kittens. Learn more about the risks and benefits by reading our clumping or non-clumping blog post.

Scented or Non-Scented?

Most cats prefer unscented cat litter, as their sense of smell is incredibly sensitive—surpassing even some dog breeds in acuity. For those concerned about odours in their home, our Kittilitt pine-fresh cat litter offers a natural, 100% biodegradable solution that effectively absorbs smells without the use of artificial fragrances.

Texture

Comfort is key for your cat, much like a soft bath mat under our feet is for us. While bentonite clay is popular, it’s neither eco-friendly nor cost-effective. Silica gel is an affordable alternative but falls short in performance compared to wood pellet cat litter, which is ecologically responsible and completely natural. Ensure it’s sourced in the UK, like our local and sustainably produced Kittilitt.

Low Dust

Dust isn’t just a nuisance for your floors and furniture; it’s a health hazard for your cat’s respiratory system. Choosing a virtually dust-free cat litter like Kittilitt protects your cat’s health and is ideal for households with people suffering from asthma.

Quick & Easy to Clean Out

A high-quality cat litter shouldn’t require frequent deep cleaning. Wood pellet litter, such as Kittilitt, needs a complete change only every two weeks, though daily spot-cleaning is recommended. This routine involves scooping out solid waste and the sawdust that forms from the wet pellets.

Low Tracking

Nobody wants to have unclean, cat litter tracked around the house everyday. A wood pellet cat litter does not get spread around the house like other types due to the litter being too large to get stuck in cats paws. Additionally, it absorbs all liquid and odours and crumbles into sawdust, which settles at the bottom of the litter box. The fresh wood pellets remain on the top. There are special sifting litter boxes on the market that remove the sawdust automatically.

Cost Effective

Managing cat care costs is crucial for pet owners. Investing in a sifting litter box can enhance the efficiency of wood pellet litters like Kittilitt. Brit-Pet is the perfect partner for Kittilitt with their clever sieve system, allowing the wet litter to collect to the base tray for easy cleaning.
