The two main kinds are clumping and non-clumping. There are also natural and biodegradable options, as well as crystal ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clumping Cat Litter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Clumping litter is one of the most popular kinds of cat litter you can buy. The litter clumps together into hard shapes when it absorbs urine, making it easier to remove from the litter box<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you remove the waste regularly, you can greatly reduce litter box odor. By using clumping litter, you won’t have to change the litter as frequently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you don’t remove the clumps regularly, odor can build up. Clean the litter box and switch the litter at least once a month. If you have multiple cats, you’ll need to do this more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clumping litters come in different varieties, such as scented and lightweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
