Petsentials Super Clumping Cat Litter, Ultra Absorbent Natural Cat Litter (10L)

Product Information

When using a cat litter made of silica gel, you want to make sure you fill it high enough that your cat’s urine (or at least most of it) doesn’t reach the bottom of the pan, otherwise, it won’t be absorbed as effectively. Fresh Step Crystals or the famous health monitoring Pretty Litter are examples of litter made out of this material. Clumping vs. non-clumping silica litter Silica gel cat litter: This is made of tiny beads of sodium silicate sand, a porous material that allows it to absorb liquid. This kind a great for those sensitive to clay litter dust, although it tends to be more expensive. They’re also great for cat owners (and cats) with asthma and they produce virtually no dust at all. However, sometimes the litter can start to break down early with heavy use and create dust. Silica litter disadvantages

You also won’t need to do the daily task of scooping out urine clumps, which makes cleaning the box faster and easier. The litter is also good at trapping in any urine odor. Power of Microscopic Pores: The microscopic pores within the activated carbon create an astonishingly large surface area. In fact, a mere 3 grams of activated carbon offers an absorption surface equivalent to a football pitch, totaling 2500 square meters. This unique characteristic ensures exceptional odour control and liquid absorption.Sepiolite for me would seem to be too soft but you could try testing it like you said, soaking it for a few days then maybe putting it in the freezer over night.

Scoop it directly into the trash or a special litter waste-collecting bin. The latter may be more convenient for temporarily storing cat litter waste until the bin is full, rather than putting it into a main trash can with each scoop.

You won’t be able to just keep adding fresh litter to the top like you would with the clumping clay type.

That depends on your cat’s preference. The following are the four most common types.

Pretty Litter crystals are super tiny and sand like Step 1: Fill litter box to approximately 2 inches in depth with crystals.They’re pricier than clay litters, so cat owners (especially those who own multiple cats) may find it a bit impractical for their budget. They also need daily stirring to keep the litter working as well as possible. Otherwise, urine can pool at the bottom and get really nasty. This type of cat litter does not hide the odor of your cats poop as well as some clay versions, so you’ll want to keep it scooped out regularly.
