If you live with one or more kittens, you surely know how important it is to keep their litter box clean and free of bad odors. With so many options available on the market, it can be difficult to decide which one is best.
What is Clumping Sand?
The clumping litter for cats is your best friend when it comes to keeping your cat’s box clean without much effort.
Clumping litters can be made of different materials. They all have in common that when they are moistened, they expand and form firm clumps that trap both moisture and odors. Best of all, those clumps are easily removed with a shovel, meaning you don’t need to change all the litter frequently, just what you need!
Advantages: Absorbent Litter VS. Clumping Litter
Absorbent litter
Instead of agglomerating, these sands simply absorb liquids and distribute them throughout the material without forming clumps. Generally, they are made of materials such as clay. One of the main characteristics of this type of sand is that needs to be replaced completely more frequently than clumping sands, more frequently than clumping sands, since only the affected part cannot be removed.
- Economic cost: It is usually more accessible in price.
- Good initial absorption: Absorbs liquids and distributes moisture throughout the sand.
- Regular complete change: You make sure to change all the litter frequently, which can be ideal if you prefer a more thorough cleaning of the box.
- Odor retention: It has a high capacity to quickly eliminate odors.
Clumping litter
- Super easy cleaning: By forming compact clumps, you only need to remove the solid and liquid waste, leaving the rest of the sand clean. Less daily work!
- Greater durability: You don’t have to change all the litter as often, since you only remove the clumps. This means that a clumping sandbag can last much longer.
- Superior odor control: By encapsulating moisture and debris, unpleasant odors are kept under control, helping the litter box stay fresher longer.
- Comfort for your cat: The texture of clumping litter is usually soft and pleasant for your kitten’s paws, which will provide a more comfortable experience.
