If your cat avoids the litter box, it’s often not stubbornness—it’s the litter. Choosing the right type makes all the difference.
Clumping vs. Non-Clumping
Clumping litter makes daily cleaning easier. Non-clumping absorbs well but can get messy faster. For busy owners, clumping is usually the winner.
Clay, Silica, or Natural?
- Clay is the most common and budget-friendly.
- Silica crystals absorb odor well and last longer.
- Natural options like pine or corn are biodegradable and gentler on paws.
Odor Control
Cats hate strong scents, even if marketed as “fresh.” Unscented litters with good absorption usually work best.
Dust Factor
Dusty litter isn’t just messy—it can irritate sensitive cats and people. Low-dust or dust-free options are worth the upgrade.
Multiple Cats
The rule of thumb: one box per cat plus one extra. If you have two cats, you need three boxes. Choosing a litter that controls odor well becomes even more important.
Finding the right litter may take some trial and error, but once you do, both you and your cat will be happier. Check out Felisio.com’s range to see what fits your home best.
