Types of Cat Litter: Which One is Right for Your Feline Friend?

Choosing the right cat litter can be challenging, especially for new cat owners. With so many options available, it’s important to understand your cat’s natural behavior. Cats instinctively prefer to eliminate in areas where they can dig and cover their waste, so having the right type of litter and litter box setup is essential for their comfort and hygiene.

Here are the three main types of cat litter commonly used today:

Type 1: Bentonite Clay Litter (Volcanic or Natural Mineral Litter)

Also known as volcanic mineral litter, bentonite clay litter is made from natural volcanic ash. When it comes into contact with moisture, such as urine, it forms solid clumps, making it easy to scoop without having to replace the entire litter box frequently. This keeps the litter box cleaner and helps control odor—perfect for cats who prefer fine, sandy textures.

Pros:

  • Clumps well
  • Easy to scoop
  • Budget-friendly
  • Available in multiple scents

Cons:

  • Produces more dust than other types
  • Not flushable or biodegradable
  • May form sticky sludge when litter runs low

Crystal Cat Litter – Lightweight & Odor-Absorbing

Crystal cat litter, made from sodium silicate, may not be as commonly known as other types, but it offers several practical advantages. This type of litter works by absorbing moisture and odors directly into the crystals, expanding slightly without forming clumps.

Key Features:

  • Non-clumping: Makes waste removal a bit different—you’ll need to scoop out only the solid waste
  • Excellent odor control: Crystals trap smells effectively
  • Low usage volume: Requires less litter than most types
  • Cost-effective: Long-lasting compared to clay or tofu litters
  • Minimal dust: Great for sensitive cats and owners

🐱 How to Choose the Right Cat Litter

Every cat is different—what works for one may not work for another. When choosing cat litter, consider:

  • Your cat’s behavior: Some cats prefer softer textures, others are sensitive to scent
  • Your budget: Different types vary in price and longevity
  • Your lifestyle: Some litters are easier to clean or dispose of than others

Trial and Error is OK!
You might need to test a few brands, scents, or textures to discover what your cat prefers. Whether it's clumping bentonite, eco-friendly tofu, or odor-locking crystal litter—OKIKO offers a wide range of options to meet every need.
