Question 1

What's the best cat litter?

Accepted Answer

The best cat litter will be the one that makes your cat use the litter box consistently. A good cat litter should also control odor and make keeping the litter box clean convenient and easy. Many people prefer clumping or scoopable cat litter so they can remove solid and liquid waste from the box every day. Non-clumping, dust-free, or fragrance-free litter may be better for cats or people with allergies, and paper pellet litter is often recommended for young kittens. You can also find a variety of sustainable and natural litters made from corn, wheat, wood and more.

Question 2

How often should I change my cat's litter?

Accepted Answer

Change your cat’s litter once a week or every other week. The ideal frequency will depend on how many cats you have, what type of litter you use, and how often you scoop the box. You should try to scoop the box every day and refill it with fresh litter to keep the litter level consistent. Be sure to clean the litter box thoroughly with soap and water when you change out the litter.

Question 3

Is cat litter flushable?

Accepted Answer

Some cat litter is flushable, but many types are not. Clay and other highly absorbent litters can clog pipes and cause serious plumbing issues, so be sure to read the container and make sure any litter you are flushing is indeed flushable. There are many great flushable cat litters you can buy for your cat, and many are biodegradable and eco-friendly, as well.

Question 4

Is cat litter biodegradable?

Accepted Answer

Clay cat litter is not biodegradable, but there are many litter options that are. Most plant-based litters, including those made of grass, corn, wheat, paper and pine, will biodegrade naturally after disposal. Many of these are also sustainably sourced, making them an even more eco-friendly choice.
