How to find the right cat litter

Prevent feline stress and other issues by experimenting with different types and textures to find the best match for your cat.



Cat litter textures and scents

From non-clumping to unscented, get the scoop on the most common types of litter below.

Litter comes in both scented and unscented varieties

Scented cat litter

  • Scented litters are designed to mask litter odours

  • But some cats dislike strong scents and prefer unscented litters

Unscented cat litter

  • Unscented cat litter brands rely on ingredients such as carbon and natural plant extracts to help absorb odours from urine and feces and reduce litter box smells

Cat litter can also be clumping or non-clumping, impacting how pet parents clean and empty the litter box

Clumping cat litter

  • Clumping litters form scoopable, solid masses for quick and easy waste removal and generally provides reasonable odour control

Non-clumping cat litter

  • Non-clumping needs to be fully replaced more often than clumping

Ready to make the switch?

When changing litter, transition slowly by adding small amounts of new litter to the old over the course of 7 to 10 days until you have switched over entirely.
