The density of the litter will greatly influence the durability and use of the cat litter. Our LightWeight range has a low density which makes it easy to handle and load.
Regarding the size of the grain, we can say that there are two varieties:
- Little: They are highly absorbent, last longer, generate less dust, and are gentle with the cat’s paws.
- Thick: It is less likely to stay in the paws of cats, cheaper and especially designed for cats with long hair.
Once we have analyzed the litter itself, it is time to see the characteristics of your family. This way you will be able to choose the best cat litter for you.
