If you are going to raise a cat, cat litter is essential. There are so many different kinds of cat litter, so you may be wondering which one to use. Today, we are going to talk about the types of cat litter and recommend some products for those of you who are wondering which one to use. Shall we go and see?
First, there is bentonite litter. This is the most common type of litter, and it is made of natural clay. It is the same ingredient as regular soil, so cats tend to like it. It has the advantages of high water absorption and strong deodorizing effect. The disadvantage is that it tends to fly around, which can cause desertification in your home or conjunctivitis in your cat's eyes.
Second, there is cassava litter. It is made by processing the roots of plants, so it is safe for cats to eat and has the advantage of hardening well. It is environmentally friendly and has less dust, but it has the disadvantages of low deodorizing power and high price. Therefore, it is often mixed with bentonite, which compensates for each other's disadvantages, so that both cats and owners can be satisfied.
Third, there is tofu litter. This is a type of litter that is as common as bentonite. It is made by processing soy pulp, a by-product of tofu manufacturing. It has many advantages such as low dust, safety, environmental friendliness, and it can be flushed down the toilet because it dissolves easily in water. However, it has disadvantages such as low coagulating power, vulnerability to humidity, and above all, cats do not prefer it.
We have looked at the major types of cat litter so far. Here are some recommendations for each type of litter.
Ever Clean Cat Litter

I recommend Ever Clean's bentonite cat litter. It has the excellent water absorption and coagulation effect of bentonite, and its patented activated carbon ingredient adsorbs organic matter in cat feces, making it have a strong deodorizing effect. There are different types, including 'Extra Strong' for strong deodorizing and coagulation effect, 'Low Dust' for coarse particles to reduce dust, 'Multi-cat' for multi-cat households, and 'Extreme Clump' for enhanced coagulation power and scent. It is the most basic litter that many people use. If you want to use a litter with good functionality, I recommend Ever Clean's bentonite litter.
Felis Sand Hardball

If you are looking for cassava litter, I recommend Felis 'Sand Hardball'. I previously recommended mixing cassava litter with bentonite. This product is a combination of two types of bentonite and cassava, resulting in a litter with strong coagulation power. I recommend it to those who want to try mixing litter but want to save the effort of buying and mixing two products separately. This product comes in two types: 'Master', a premium litter with fine particles, and 'Protect' for checking urine color, so you can buy according to your needs.
Purr-ky Purr-ky Tofu Litter

I recommend Purr-ky Purr-ky's tofu litter. It is made of natural soybeans, peas, and corn, and it is said to reduce dust generation. It comes in four scents: original (milk scent), unscented, green tea scent, and peach scent, so you can choose according to your and your cat's preferences. Most of all, it is really convenient that you can dispose of the litter in the toilet.
Today, we have learned about cat litter. How did you like it? I recommend that you choose your litter according to your litter usage environment and your cat's preferences. Thank you for reading today. Next time, I will recommend cat toys:)
