Product Information

Each of the three walnut litters we tested were high quality and effective at clumping and controlling odors, making it a challenge to select a winner. This was especially true because, like the grass litter, my cats did not use the box consistently enough to determine whether each litter would continue to control odors equally well on day 21 as it did on day 1. Caution to Use of Corn Based Cat Litters”, by Susan Thixton, Truth About Pet Food.com, March 21, 2010 One of the biggest reasons why eco-friendly cat litters have become more common is because of the issues surrounding traditional cat litters. Most notably, clumping cat litters made from sodium bentonite often end up in landfills, and because these litters can swell to 12 times their size when exposed to water, these litters take up a considerate amount of space in landfills, which we all know is dangerous for the environment. Because of this, Teller recommends flushing one or two clumps at a time rather than emptying the entire contents of the litter box into the toilet. But, with each flush, your water use goes up and the environmental benefits go down—and it takes longer to clean the litter box. Higher Cost The biggest flaw was that it sometimes absorbed liquids slowly. During one trial in phase one testing, a sheen of liquid was left on top of the clumps even after waiting the full 15 minutes recommended by the company before scooping. However, I was able to lift the whole thing out in a single piece. 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.

For a smooth transition, Derse advises placing multiple litter boxes around the house and filling one with the old litter and one with the new, flushable product to see how the cat responds. If the cat avoids that litter box with the flushable litter altogether, your feline might never adapt. Consider experimenting with a different brand (or ingredient mix) of flushable litter to see if there is one your cat prefers. Vetbasis contains ground corn cobs, not kernels. It’s highly absorbent, clumps, traps odors, and is for use in single or multi-cat households.Like corn it is extremely absorbent, dust free and great at eliminating odour (better than corn due to its enzymes). Doesn’t need to be changed often – due to how much water it can hold you can leave it for up to a month (with one cat) without having to change it and it will continue to deal with odours and urine effortlessly. Clay has become popular largely because it was the first type of commercial cat litter on the market—appearing in 1947—and it's sold virtually anywhere you can buy pet supplies. You’ll find many different brands of this litter with each brand using a slightly different formulation that often results in added ingredients to help neutralize odor (i.e. baking soda, synthetic fragrance).

Natural compressed corn, whole kernel corn, or corn pulp are among the top products used in flushable cat litter brands. Manufacturers tout them as natural, biodegradable materials. Wheat Your cat may then react to this. That makes it wise to change the wood litter regularly and switch to a new brand if you notice your cat having unfavorable reactions to it. Can Cats Be Allergic To Kitty Litter? Both of these mean that you will have to completely change the litter far more regularly than you do with non-clumping which can mean that it ends up being a more expensive option. Clumping Vs Non-Clumping Cat Litter

I tested the litter for this guide in two phases. In the first, I compared litters of the same material side by side to assess their absorption and clumping abilities, dustiness, scent, and texture.
