The brand is part of a new generation of so-called “smart” litters, according to Rebecca Greenstein, the veterinary medical adviser for pet-sitter site Rover, because of its ability to help you track your cat’s health. “Cats are really adept at hiding sickness until they’re literally at death’s door, so it makes me feel a little better,” she says. Strategist writer Tembe Denton-Hurst has been using PrettyLitter for the past year with her two cats and says she appreciates the peace of mind this feature provides between vet visits. The crystals also help monitor your cat’s health, as they change color in reaction to different chemicals in urine that may indicate bladder or kidney disease. Compared to clay and other litter materials, the crystals don’t stick to my cat’s paws nearly as easily, so it doesn’t track around the house. In my experience, it’s the least smelly and doesn’t generate much dust.
#KITTY LITTER TRIAL#
This is the litter I use at home after trial and error with lots of other options. This means you only have to scoop solid waste, which you can easily flush away. Or you can jump to whatever type of cat litter you’re looking for below.Ĭlump or no clump: Non-clumping | How it smells: Unscented | Dust levels: Low-dust | Ingredients: Silica gel crystalsīecause it’s made from gel crystals, PrettyLitter actually absorbs liquids instead of clumping around them. Ahead, you’ll find nine cat litters (plus a litter-box system and a deodorizer) recommended by our panel of experts that should satisfy even the pickiest of feline friends. To cut through the marketing claims, we asked 14 experts - including veterinarians, animal-shelter workers, and cat behavioralists who’ve worked with hundreds of felines over the years - what litter they recommend and which ones they actually use with their own pets. As Jessica Herman, a veterinarian with AskVet, says, “It can take trial by error to figure out what type of litter your feline friend will enjoy.” There are tons of options out there, each promising unique benefits for you and your cat, from easy cleanup and odor control to minimized dust and superior materials. It doesn’t help that cats are famously finicky and one cat’s favorite litter could be totally off-putting to another. In my decade of owning a cat, I’ve learned that some cat litter stinks up your whole apartment, some erupts in a cloud of dust whenever you scoop, and others get caught in your cat’s paws and track all over the floor.
