There is no single best litter. The right one is the litter your cat will accept and that matches your priorities. Clumping and silica litters make day-to-day maintenance simpler, while absorbing litters feel more natural since they often come from renewable materials. The choice is yours. Once you’ve found the right type of cat litter for your cat, we recommend that you avoid switching types too suddenly, as this could lead to unpleasant surprises.
