The development of cat litter has also gone through a long process, from the initial soil to the later slag. However, none of these things can remove odor very well, so commercial cat litter appeared. There are several common types of cat litter, and pet owners can choose according to their needs.

1. Sawdust cat litter for cats

1. Strong water absorption

The water absorption of sawdust sand is very strong. When the columnar sand body encounters liquid, it will soon begin to expand, and once it is fiddled with, it will spread into powder. If you encounter sawdust cat litter that poops, the sawdust attached to the feces will exert its super absorbency and turn the poop into dry and hard lumps.

The odor of excrement is also locked in the sawdust, but the sawdust cat litter is relatively "hard" when dry.

2. Made of natural bonding

Wood chip cat litter is mainly made of wood chips, pulp, wheat and natural binders. Its advantages are: natural and non-irritating, good deodorization function, excellent absorption performance, easy to clean, less dust, not easy to be penetrated, and long service life.

3. Easy to get parasitic fleas

It is easy to get damp, and easy to harbor fleas. It is rough to the touch for cats, and some cats may not like the smell of wood. The finer wood chips may stick to the cat's hair and be carried to other places.

2. Confetti cat litter for kittens

1. Made of recyclable paper

Confetti cat litter is also a very popular cat litter now, because it is made of environmentally friendly recyclable paper, which is environmentally friendly and low-carbon, and is in line with the green concept currently advocated. When the paper sand was first released, my cat tried the trial pack provided by the manufacturer. After trying it, I felt that the paper sand has better water absorption.

The deodorizing function is average, but the paper sand can be flushed directly into the toilet, which is very convenient and saves you the trouble of throwing cat poop every day.

2. Activated carbon is added

Confetti cat litter is mainly made of paper-based materials, and some are added with activated carbon. Advantages: The texture is softer than sawdust cat litter, the particles are smaller, and the color turns gray after peeing, making it easy to identify and easy to clean up in time. Moreover, the paper cat litter disposal method can be poured directly into the toilet and flushed away, making it easy to operate.

3. Easy to get wet and weak in condensation

The disadvantages of confetti cat litter are that it is relatively easy to get wet, has weak coagulation power, does not absorb much water, easily turns into paste, and sticks to the cat's hair and body, and has a mediocre deodorizing function.

3. Crystal cat litter for cats

1. Silica gel is made into particles

Crystal cat litter is a cat litter that entered the Chinese market earlier and is more popular. This kind of cat litter has larger particles and is made of silica gel. It can quickly absorb the cat's urine. However, because the particles are too large to be buried, the cat's poop must be collected in time.. Otherwise the home will stink.

Suggestion: Crystal sand also has certain benefits, that is, the dust is smaller, and it is suitable for cats with flat faces.

2. Super absorbing ability

Crystal cat litter, also called silica gel, is translucent and granular. Advantages: Super absorption capacity, the color will change after absorbing water, easy to identify, convenient for timely cleaning, has certain anti-mold and antibacterial functions, strong deodorization function, relatively hygienic and beautiful, and long service life.

3. Disadvantage: round and small particles

The disadvantage of crystal cat litter is that it has small round particles, which are easy for cats to pick out and play with. Some cats may even eat it accidentally. Moreover, this type of cat litter has a strong smell after use. When replacing it, it cannot be poured into the soil or the toilet. Can be thrown into the trash can.

4. Condensed cat litter for cats

1. Bentonite sand is soft and soft

Condensed cat litter is bentonite sand, which is also the main force in the cat litter market. This kind of cat litter has small particles, soft texture, strong water absorption, and good clumping ability. The perfumed bentonite sand with added spices also has strong deodorizing ability. In addition, it is affordable and has become the first choice cat litter for cat families. .

2. Absorb water and form hard lumps

In the final analysis, coagulated cat litter is fine sand, and its main component is bentonite. Advantages: It absorbs water quickly and forms hard lumps after absorbing water. After the cat litter is condensed and consumed, you can continue to add new cat litter without having to replace it all with new ones every time. For cats, sand feels the best. The visual effect is better.

3. Disadvantages of coagulated cat litter

The shortcomings of condensation cat litter are quite obvious. Because it is relatively fine, it will be spread to other places in the home. Moreover, this kind of cat litter is easy to stick to the cat’s feet, and will eventually be eaten by the cat when cleaning its feet, thereby deodorizing it. The effect is not very good either. No matter which type of cat litter is used, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and your pet should choose based on their needs.
