Cat Litter Essentials

No one litter is better than the rest, it all comes down to your and your cat's preference! Ultimately, the best cat litter is one that reduces odours, is easy to clean, neutralizes bacteria and works well with your Cat's litter box. Pet Besty's range of litter ticks all of these boxes; cat owners love it! Browse our range and feel free to get in contact with our team to find the best solution for you and your cat or kitten.

Clumping cat litter is not necessarily bad for cats, but it does have potential risks that must be taken into consideration. Clumping cat litter consists of materials such as clay, plant starch and other absorbent material that form clumps when wet. These clumps make it easier to scoop out the waste, which leads to less mess and easier clean up at the litter box.

One of the main risks associated with clumping cat litter is the potential for it to cause gastrointestinal obstruction in cats if it is ingested. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your cat's litter box is kept clean and free of clumped pieces of litter. Additionally, some felines may be sensitive to the ingredients used in clumping litters, so if your cat has a reaction you should switch to a different type of litter.

It is important to change your cat litter box regularly in order to keep your pet and home clean and safe. The frequency of how often you should change the litter box will depend on a few factors, including the size of your cat's litter box, and the type of litter you're using. 

With that being said, from our team's personal experience, cats prefer to have their litter changed at least twice a week. Cats will often vocalise, get the zoomies, or otherwise try to get your attention around their bathroom times (dawn and dusk) if their litter box is dirty and needs to be changed.
