There are a lot of clay litter brands to choose from these days. You can go for the heavily scented variety if you're the type who likes to mask the smell of your cat's poop. It's common for a bag of clay litter to have bentonite since it provides the clumping effect you see when your cat defecates on it. It also helps in absorption, which is great for cat urine.
It doesn't just absorb urine, though. The second it gets wet, that portion becomes this rock-like thing that you can scoop easily, so you won't have difficulty cleaning the litter box. There are two notable downsides to using clumping clay litter, and the first one is how dusty it is. If dust triggers your allergies, you're better off using pine litter.
The second disadvantage of clumping clay litter is that it's not organic. It means the waste you produce daily from cleaning the litter box accumulates. You can train your cat to transition to more eco-friendly alternatives. But as with a lot of things, it takes time.
If you have any concerns about your pet's elimination habits, make an appointment with your vets Rochester NY.
