what is crystal cat litter

Crystal cat litter is a type of litter made from silica gel beads that absorb moisture and control odors effectively.

Crystal cat litter, also known as silica gel litter, consists of small beads made from amorphous silica. These beads are highly absorbent, drawing in moisture from cat urine and helping to eliminate odors without clumping. Unlike traditional clay or clumping litter, crystal litter doesn’t need to be scooped daily—solid waste is removed, but the urine is absorbed and dried out by the crystals. This can reduce the frequency of complete litter changes to once every few weeks. It is low in dust, making it suitable for cats with respiratory sensitivities, though some cats may take time to adjust to the texture of the crystals.
