As a cat owner, you know that even the most adorable feline needs to handle her business now and then. After all, it’s your responsibility to clean up the cat’s litter when she’s done. That can stink (literally!), but finding the right litter and getting familiar with cat litter box tips and tricks can make a better experience for both you and your cat. \u003C/p>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: left;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the first things you should look at when picking between different cat litter products is the ingredients. Cat litters are composed of several different materials, and each has pros and cons. The weight and environmental impact of a litter may matter to you. Your feline friend will care more about texture.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are other factors to consider, too. Should you buy clumping or \u003C/span>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">non clumping cat litter\u003C/span>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Scented or unscented? \u003C/span>Some cats are super picky about their commode material, so making the right choice can mean the difference between scoopable cat litter and scrubbing the carpet. Understanding your options can save you time, money, and sanity (Oh, and your cat will be happy, too).\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Here are some things to pay special attention to when choosing a litter for your cat and understanding what your cat litter is made of. \u003Cbr> \u003C/p>\n\u003Cmeta charset=\"utf-8\">\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find The Right Ingredients\u003C/span>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://prettylitter.com/blogs/prettylitter-blog/whats-in-cat-litter-and-how-does-it-work\" target=\"_blank\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cat litter made from clay\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a popular choice. It comes in two forms: clumping and non-clumping. As the name suggests, cat litter clumping forms when liquid hits it. Alternately, non-clumping litter absorbs liquid without clumping. Many clay cat litter formulas also contain silica, which helps with odor control. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many cats are comfortable clawing through clay granules to hide their waste.

They can also cause breathing problems like feline asthma. Plus, if your kitty doesn't like the scent of her litter, she'll avoid it at all costs. This often means she'll stop using her litter box entirely. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than focusing on the scent of a litter, find one that is great at controlling odors.
