The choice of cat litter needs to be considered by a variety of factors, and the following are some routine considerations
- Grain size and texture
- Cat's paw sensation: Cat's PAWS are sensitive. In general, young cats may prefer delicate litter because their claws are still tender and delicate litter is more comfortable to step on. For example, tofu litter is relatively soft and friendly to young cats. Adult cats are more comfortable with grain size and texture, but most cats also don't like oversized or hard litter that makes them uncomfortable when using the litter box.
- Simulate natural environment: In the wild, cats are used to defecating on softer ground. Therefore, choose soft texture, moderate particles of the cat litter, more in line with the nature of the cat. For example, pine cat litter, its particles have a certain degree of unkempt, so that the cat can have the experience of close to the natural environment.
- smell
- Cat smell sensitivity: Cats have a very sensitive sense of smell, much more sensitive than humans. They may not like overly-scented litter because it can strongly irritate their sense of smell. For example, a cat litter with a strong floral or chemical scent may deter the cat from using the litter box.
- Natural tasteless or light scented litter: Choose a litter that does not add too much spice, or only has a light natural scent (such as a hint of pine) will be a better choice. Like some high-quality tofu cat litter, it only has a light bean smell and will not cause aversion to cats.
