Cat litter comparison

Having used different cat litter throughout the years, I decided to made a comparison among some of those that I've been using.

1) Litter star cat litter - They are made of Silica gel that helps to absorbs humidity and odors. It is also a green product as it is pollution free and an it's anti-bacterial chemicals in it will prevent germ growth. And most importantly, it does not leave any dirty paws on your cat. :) Different brands also comes with different smell. I've got one that smells like floral now.
















2) Pee Wee cat litter - This litter is made of pine wood. When in contact with your cat's pee, it will breakdown into sawdust and therefore absorbs the smell. The only smell you will get is the wood scent. I quite like this litter initially as it is rather clean and keeps the litter box dry. But later i start to see sawdust all around my house as they tend to get stick to my cat's paw and when they ran around the house, they left paw prints of sawdust all around my house. :(

They also have a PEEWEE Litter Tray System you can get if you would opt to use this type of litter. Basically the litter tray has 2 section: The upper part has a grating in the bottom, you put the PEEWEE litter on this grating. When your cat pees, 90% of the urine passes through the grating and falling to the lower section of the tray. The rest of the urine will be absorbs by the litter which will then breakdown into sawdust. Once your cat finish its pee-ing, they will tend to scratch and this action will help the sawdust to fall through the grating to the lower section. Your only work here is to throw away the sawdust on the lower section. So if you would like to use this litter, it would be good to get their litter tray as well. If not, you can DIY the tray yourself. Maybe by putting mesh-wire on your current cat litter box??




3) Breeder Celect Cat Litter - This product is made of recycled paper (talks about being Green yea..) It's made by a paper recycling company from Australia, Breeder Celect is made entirely from recycled paper with absolutely no chemicals added. It works same as the PEEWEE as it will breakdown once urine touches it. One good thing is this can be throw into your toilet bowl and you can just flash it away. The cons will be, it tends to make the cat's paw black. I think its because of its recycled material, after your cat pees, it will tend to scratch the litter box and in turn causes the paws to stick to some of this litter. Other than that, this litter works fine and you can just flash it down the toilet bowl. Talking about convenience.



So, these are some of the litter products that i've used and been using them. You can try it out if you think it fits you & your cat needs.

How about training your cat to use the toilet bowl instead? It will be fuss free and you can save all those hassle of trials and errors of different cat litter. :)
