what is clumping cat litter

Clumping cat litter is a type of litter that forms solid clumps upon contact with moisture, making it easier to clean.

Clumping cat litter is commonly made from bentonite clay, which has the unique property of absorbing moisture and forming tight clumps around liquid waste. This makes it significantly easier to scoop out both urine and feces, helping to keep the rest of the litter clean and extending its usability. Clumping litter also helps control odor more effectively since waste can be removed more thoroughly and frequently. It’s a popular choice among cat owners for its convenience and efficiency in maintaining hygiene. However, it may create more dust than some alternatives and isn’t always suitable for kittens or cats with respiratory sensitivities.
