Q I'm about to adopt an adult cat from the local rescue centre who will be an indoor cat. I'm gathering all the bits I need for her but I'm not sure which cat litter to go for. I didn't realize there was so much choice! Can you offer any pointers?
Your Cat magazine advises: The first thing to suggest is to speak to the staff at the rescue centre and find out which litter this cat has been used to.
You should aim to buy the same or a very similar litter to have ready for her when she comes home to you, that way it'll be something that she's familiar with which will help her move to your home a bit easier. It could be that both you and she are happy to continue with this brand/type of litter.
The ideal cat litter is one that is easy for the cat to rake with his or her paws, and is good at absorbing liquid and masking smells. From your point of view, you may want a product that is economical to use, is easy to handle and dispose of.
Traditional litters are granule based and may be clumping (clumps are formed by urine and easy to scoop out) or non-clumping, and there are wood-based litters in pellet form. Other litters are made from recycled paper, straw, or silica granules.
Generally, soiled litter should be bagged and disposed of in general waste bin, however, some litters are suitable for flushing or composting - check the label before you buy.
