Amazon Brand - Lifelong Clumping Corn Cat Litter, Unscented, 10 L (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Furthermore, clumping clay litter uses sodium bentonite as a clumping agent, which can pose risks if ingested. It contains added Aloe Vera to make the clay more gentle on your cat’s paws, but there’s no added fragrance. It's made out of soybean fibre, so it's all natural, biodegradable, non-toxic, and virtually dust-free. What I can say with certainty is that, because the litter is so lightweight, it is easily tracked outside of the litter box. With corn cat litter there is some concern about aflatoxin, a poisonous substance produced by specific molds that grow on food crops.

However, if you locate your boxes in temperature and humidity controlled areas and are diligent with scooping and cleaning, mold and aflatoxin are much less likely to be a problem. Flushable cat litter is touted as a more convenient and sustainable option than conventional clumping litters that must be bagged and tossed in the trash—but is it worth the extra cost? Made from upcycled food waste, Littermaid Premium Walnut Litter clumps tightly and produces very little dust. Also often referred to as wood pellets, this type of litter is most well known for its natural pine scent. This is often a top choice for hypoallergenic varieties that aid sickly, sensitive, or recovering felines.Indeed, natural litters are made from sustainable resources such as responsibly managed forests, upcycled food waste, and quick-growing plants. Arguably among the most eco-friendly natural cat litter, Littermaid Premium Walnut Litter is made from the discarded shells of edible walnuts.

When it comes to choosing the right cat litter, we all want a product that's not only effective at controlling odours but is also as dust-free as possible. The same thing did not happen in our second trial nor when in use by my cats and, most often, the liquid was absorbed in less than a minute. Sourced from sustainably managed forests, its soft, lightweight granules are most similar to standard clay litter. Super Soft Clumping Litter earned the top spot among its wood litter competitors for its excellent odor control and superior clumping ability. The good news is that it rarely makes it past production, so it’s unlikely for your cat to ever encounter it.If you’d rather opt for non-clumping cat litter – which better suits young, elderly and sick cats, since there’s far less risk of it causing blockages if swallowed – then brand leader Catsan Hygiene Litter offers great value. When I use secondary sources, most are those with some authority, such as veterinarian or cat behaviorist books and articles. For a litter that checks all the boxes and should work for most cat-owning households, Bosley and Kerrie McKeon, resident cat expert at the animal-welfare and adoption organization Bideawee, recommend World’s Best.
