Natural Litter Buying Guide

Everything you need to choose and transition to the perfect natural litter.

What to Consider

Clumping vs Non-Clumping

Clumping makes scooping easier but costs more. Non-clumping requires full litter changes but is gentler.

Odor Control Needs

Multi-cat homes need stronger odor control. Consider walnut, wood, or adding Purrify activated carbon.

Your Cat's Preferences

Some cats prefer fine textures (corn/wheat), others like pellets (wood). Watch their behavior.

Dust Sensitivity

If you or your cat have respiratory issues, choose paper or low-dust options.

Environmental Priority

All natural litters are better than clay, but grass and recycled paper have the smallest footprint.

Budget

Natural litters cost more upfront but often last longer. Start with trial sizes to find the right fit.

How to Transition Your Cat

1

Start Gradually

Mix 25% new litter with 75% old. Increase new litter by 25% weekly until fully transitioned.

2

Keep the Same Box

Don't change the litter box during transition. One change at a time.

3

Maintain Depth

Keep 2-3 inches of litter. Cats like to dig and bury.

4

Watch for Signs

If your cat avoids the box, slow down the transition. Some cats need more time.

5

Clean Regularly

Scoop daily and do full changes as recommended by the litter brand.

Pro Tip: Add Purrify

Sprinkle Purrify activated carbon on any natural litter to boost odor control by up to 3x.
