These are our own scores for the things that can be judged from the specification, the materials and how the product is built. They are not Amazon's customer rating.
Most litter comparisons lead with odour control. Dust deserves to come first, for two reasons.
For the cat. Fine clay dust is inhaled at close range every time the cat digs, several times a day, for years. Feline asthma is more common than most owners realise, and a cat that begins coughing, wheezing or making a distinctive crouched hacking motion after a litter change is telling you something specific. Cats with asthma are noticeably worse on dusty litter.
For you. Pouring a heavy bag into a box at floor level puts clay dust directly in your breathing zone.
A litter that genuinely minimises dust is a health product, not a convenience one, and it is why we scored this highest on that measure.
Practical habits that help regardless of brand: pour slowly and from low down, tip rather than shake, and keep the box in a ventilated space.
Cats have a far more sensitive sense of smell than we do, and litter box aversion is one of the leading causes of house soiling.
A heavily perfumed litter smells pleasant to you and overwhelming to the cat standing in it. Some cats simply stop using it, and once a cat has found an alternative surface it likes, getting it back to the box is hard work.
If your cat has ever gone outside the box after a litter change, the scent is a prime suspect, and unscented is the safe default. Odour control done properly comes from clumping hard enough that urine leaves the box daily — not from fragrance layered over it.
A hard clump lifts out whole. A weak clump crumbles when you scoop it, leaves wet fragments in the box, and those fragments are the smell you notice two days later.
Clumping strength is also what lets you scoop rather than scrape. Clumps that stick to the base of the box are almost always a depth problem rather than a litter problem — see below.
Scoop daily, ideally twice. This does more for odour than any product on the market.
Use 7 to 10 cm of litter. Most people use far less. Shallow litter lets urine reach the base of the box, so clumps stick and break up, and you end up scraping — which scratches the plastic, and scratched plastic holds odour permanently. Deeper litter also tracks less, because the cat digs within the layer rather than scraping the bottom and flinging granules over the side.
One box per cat, plus one, in separate locations. Three cats means four boxes, spread across rooms rather than lined up along a wall — a row is a single location to a cat.
Full changes every two to four weeks for one cat, more often with several, with the box washed out in unscented soap and water. A box that still smells after a full change and a wash needs replacing.
The box should be roughly one and a half times the cat's body length from nose to tail base. Most commercially sold litter boxes are smaller than that.
A large plastic storage tub makes an excellent and inexpensive litter box, and many cats visibly prefer one. For an arthritic older cat, cutting a low entry into one side of a tub solves the access problem that causes so many accidents in senior cats.
A large bag of clay litter is heavy, and that is a genuine consideration if carrying it is difficult. Lightweight and crystal litters exist and trade other properties for it.
For tracking: a deep, high-sided box does most of the work, because most tracking is litter kicked over the side during digging rather than carried on paws. Add a ridged or honeycomb mat that granules fall into — not a thin flat rubber sheet — and keep claws trimmed.
It can be. Fine clay dust is inhaled at close range every time a cat digs, and feline asthma is more common than owners realise — a cat that starts coughing or wheezing after a litter change is telling you something. Low-dust litter is a health choice, not a convenience one, for the cat and for whoever pours the bag.
Unscented, as the default. Cats have a far more sensitive sense of smell than we do, and litter box aversion is a leading cause of house soiling. If your cat started going outside the box after a litter change, fragrance is a prime suspect. Real odour control comes from clumping hard enough to remove urine daily.
Seven to ten centimetres. Most people use much less, and shallow litter lets urine reach the base so clumps stick and break up when scooped — which scratches the box and leaves the fragments that smell. Deeper litter also tracks less.
