Many cat owners occasionally face the dilemma: Which cat litter is the best? There’s a wide range of options—from bentonite and silica litters to wood and corn-based varieties. Each type has its pros and cons, which is why it’s worth taking a closer look at different kinds of litter to choose the best solution for your feline friend.
Why is choosing the right cat litter so important?
Impact on the cat’s health
A cat spends a significant amount of time each day in its litter box, taking care of its needs and burying waste. Dust or fumes from unsuitable litter can irritate delicate feline airways.
Comfort and acceptance by your cat
Pets—especially cats—can be picky. An unsuitable texture or scent may lead to litter box aversion and, as a result, “surprises” on the floor or carpet.
Ease of maintaining hygiene
A well-absorbing, clumping litter simplifies daily cleaning. The litter box stays clean, and unpleasant odors don’t spread throughout the home.
A review of popular types of cat litter
Bentonite litter
- Pros: Clumps very well, affordable, widely available in most stores.
- Cons: Can be dusty, and some varieties aren’t great at neutralizing strong odors.
Silica (crystal) litter
- Pros: Excellent moisture absorption, less dusty than certain bentonite litters.
- Cons: Less natural composition, and some cats are put off by the texture and the crunching sound under their paws.
Wood-based litter
- Pros: Natural scent, eco-friendly, often compostable.
- Cons: Usually clumps less effectively than bentonite, and can be tracked around the house on cats’ paws.
Corn-based litter
- Pros: Very eco-friendly, good clumping action, easy to dispose of (can sometimes be flushed down the toilet—depending on the manufacturer’s guidelines).
- Cons: Higher price; some cats may not initially accept the smell or texture.
