How to Choose the Right Cat Litter

The one thing I notice when I go to cat care forums and that is how many times I should change my cat box. It all depends on how many cats you have and what kind of cat litter you use. . If you have two cats, you will want to change the cat box at least every other day. If you have one cat, I would suggest changing the cat box two times a week.

What type of cat litter should I use? Well, 90% of purchased in the USA are clay based litter. There are two types of clay based cat litter: a fine-textured clumping clay litter and a coarser non-clumping clay litter. However, clay based is not the only kind of cat litter out there. You have littler that is newspaper, wood chips, wheat, corn, and soybeans to name a few. Here are a few questions to ask yourself when you are looking for cat litter.

Is it easy to keep clean in the litter box?

Does it stick to the bottom of the litter box?
