What kind of cat litter should I use?
Broadly speaking, litters divide into two main types – clumping and non- clumping. There are also biodegradable litters and litters that are fragranced. Let’s look at some of that in more detail:
Clumping litter versus non-clumping litter
Wondering what the best type of cat litter is? Probably the first thing to say here is that one is not better than the other. It’s simply a matter of what you – or let’s be honest! – your cat prefers. Non-clumping litters absorb a large volume of liquid and lock away odours. This means if you remove any faeces daily, the litter tray will stay fresh for up to a week. Clumping litters, as the name suggests, form a solid clump around urine or faeces so that you can just remove that without having to empty the entire litter. This means you can do a thorough clean of the litter tray less often, although it’s important to remember that cats are fastidious about cleanliness. Want to know more?

What’s the best litter for small apartments?
If your living space isn’t very big, you’ll be particularly concerned about making sure your cat’s litter box isn’t whiffy. And the good news is that all Catsan™ litters are designed with excellent odour control. This means you can choose whichever litter your furry friend likes best and be confident your apartment will smell good. It’s also worth checking out the advice in How to stop your cat litter smelling.
What’s the best litter for multiple cats?
It’s recommended that you have one litter box for every cat plus one more. This means you can cater to everyone’s preferences! Do be aware that your cats might choose to use each other’s litter boxes though. This means if you have a kitten you’ll want to make sure all the litter in the house is suitable for them (coarse-grained and non-clumping).
Litter boxes and other important questions
Of course, getting your choice of cat litter right, though vitally important,
is only the first step. You also need to make sure you get the right litter
box, position it correctly and change the litter often enough. Our article on
Cat litter tray basics is a mine of information, but here are
a few tips.
Choosing a litter tray
There are lots of different types of litter tray out there and different cats
will have different preferences. Do bear in mind though that many cats dislike
covered litter boxes because they can’t see ‘threats’. Also, if you have a
kitten or an elderly cat, don’t choose a litter box with high sides as this
will be difficult for them to get in and out of.
” image-1=”” headline-2=”h2″ question-2=”How many litter trays should you have?” answer-2=”The rule of paw here is to have one litter box for every cat in your household plus one more. Kittens will also benefit from having multiple litter trays because they are often too busy playing to realise until the last minute that they need to go to the toilet!” image-2=”” headline-3=”h2″ question-3=”Where should you position the litter tray? ” answer-3=”Litter trays should be put in quiet undisturbed places and kept away from your cat’s food and water bowls (cats don’t like to pee and poop near where they eat). A lot of owners put the litter tray in the bathroom but other options include the living room or bedroom. ” image-3=”” headline-4=”h2″ question-4=”How often should you change litter? ” answer-4=”This depends on a number of things, including what type of litter you are using and how many cats you have in your household. You will probably need to change non-clumping litter about once a week and should scoop clumps daily if you use clumping litter. This is just a guide though – there’s more detailed advice in 4 things you need to know about keeping a cat litter box clean. ” image-4=”” headline-5=”h2″ question-5=”What should you do if your cat is refusing to use their litter tray? ” answer-5=”There are several different reasons why your furry friend might avoid their litter tray. Are they happy with their litter and their litter tray and where it’s positioned? Have there been any changes to their routine that might have made them anxious?
