Cat's can be fussy, so unfortunately buying the best cat litter for them won't guarantee that they'll like using it. Comfort: this is the perfect choice for kittens or unwell cats, non-clumping and designed to combat unpleasant smells without any added chemicals. We're afraid it's up to you to tempt/bribe your cat into liking the one that best fits your time, needs and budget. What is cat litter made of? Using the household toilet is not recommended for the disposal of an entire tray of cat litter. In this case, please refer to your local waste disposal regulations - organic waste, compost or normal household waste!

Smart Pellets: a great choice for long-haired cats as these pellets are less likely to cling and end up being strewn around the house. These are also entirely natural and are particularly sustainable, as the secondary wood materials used to make these pellets ensures no trees are felled purely for this litter. Production processes vary from brand to brand, but these are the typical compositions of cat litter that you're likely to come across: Cat's Best Original Cat Litter uses exclusively PEFC-certified wood secondary raw materialsfrom the woodworking industry, so no additional trees are cut down!We saturated a set amount of cat litter with water, and then drained it through a sieve and re-weighed the water to see how much had been absorbed by the cat litter. Paper cat litter - usually recycled paper, old newspapers and byproducts from wood production, which are compressed into pellets. Original: a clumping litter made with refined active wood fibres, natural and effective. It can last for up to 7 weeks in your cat’s litter tray and is fully biodegradable, gentle on the paws and low in dust.

Cat’s Best cat litter comes in a number of different varieties, all of which are 100% natural and help to ensure longer-lasting hygiene than a standard cat litter. These plant fibre litters are effective and can be composted or disposed of down the toilet. We placed feline urine on each cat litter and stood at set distances from it to see if we could detect any unpleasant smells.

Silica cat litter - silicon dioxide minerals which are often mined from quartz sand and heated until they crystalise into gel granules. Universal: binds odours, is particularly absorbent and helps to keep moisture trapped. This litter is ideal for anyone – cats, ferrets, hamsters and many more! It can even be used for birds and is ideal for use in wet areas. This depends on which cat litter you buy, which is usually a choice between clumping or non-clumping cat litter. Clumping cat litter vs non-clumping

Clay cat litter - different clay types, usually bentonites (which are highly absorbent), which are dug out of the ground, compressed and dehydrated into granules. Wood pellet cat litter - more sustainable than most types, made up of compressed and dehydrated wood or sawdust, often made up of byproducts from wood production used to make something else, such as furniture. The choice between clumping cat litter and non-clumping is mostly down to how often you want to replace the soiled litter in the tray, or clean out the whole thing.

Plant fibre cat litter - arguably the most sustainable option, made from a wide variety of natural waste products, from corn or wheat fibres to peanut shells. All are dried out, combined and compressed into granules or pellets.
