Buying cat litter: the complete guide

Looking for the best cat litter? It is important to know which type suits your cat, your household and your preferences. Whether you are looking for clumping cat litter that effectively traps odours, a dust-free cat litter for sensitive airways, or a biodegradable option you can flush, this guide tells you everything you need to know. At Bopets you will find exclusively proven-quality cat litter with fast delivery across Europe.

What types of cat litter are there?

There are four main types of cat litter. Each type has specific advantages and disadvantages, depending on your situation and your cat's preferences.

TypeAdvantagesDisadvantagesSuitable for
Clumping (bentonite)Forms firm clumps, easy to scoop, good odour controlHeavier, cheaper variants may produce dustMost households, owners who scoop daily
Non-clumping (mineral)Affordable, high absorbencyMust be fully replaced, less odour controlBudget-conscious owners, cats that do not dig
Silica (crystals)Extremely absorbent, dust-free, long lastingHigher price, some cats dislike the textureBusy owners, indoor cats, sensitive airways
Plant-based / biodegradableBiodegradable, flushable, dust-free, lightweightMay develop odour faster in high temperaturesEco-conscious owners, cats with allergies

For large cats & indoor cats

Do you have a large cat such as a Maine Coon, Ragdoll or Norwegian Forest Cat? Then the choice of cat litter is particularly important. Large cats produce more urine and faeces, so you need a litter with high absorbency and excellent odour control.

Cat litter for indoor cats requires even stricter standards for odour management. Since the litter box is in your living space, odour-neutralising litter with activated carbon or baking soda is essential. Choose a dust-free cat litter to prevent fine particles from spreading through your home when your cat digs.

Health & environment

Your cat's health starts with a clean litter box and the right litter. Natural cat litter without chemicals, such as those made from wood, corn, paper or tofu, are free from synthetic fragrances and chemical additives. This is important for cats with sensitive airways or skin allergies.

Biodegradable litters are also better for the environment: they can be composted (without faeces) or disposed of with household waste. Plant-based litters are also significantly lighter, making litter box changes easier.

Practical tip: fully replace the litter box every 2 to 4 weeks with clumping litter (scoop clumps daily). With non-clumping litter: replace completely every week.

What to look for when choosing cat litter?

With these five criteria you are guaranteed to choose the right cat litter for your situation:

💧
Absorbency
A highly absorbent cat litter locks in moisture quickly and prevents the bottom of the litter box from getting wet. Clumping and silica litters score best here. Always fill the box at least 7 cm deep for optimal absorption.
🌬️
Dust-free
Dust-free cat litter is essential for cats with asthma or respiratory issues and keeps your home cleaner. Premium clumping and plant-based litters are typically 99% dust-free.
🍃
Odour control
Odour-neutralising litter with activated carbon or baking soda captures odours without masking them with perfume. Avoid heavily scented litters, cats have a sensitive nose and may avoid the litter box if the scent is too strong.
♻️
Biodegradable
Biodegradable cat litter made from wood, corn or tofu is compostable and often flushable. Better for the environment than clay or silica, and significantly lighter to carry.
💶
Monthly cost
Do not just compare the purchase price, calculate the cost per month. Cheap non-clumping litter needs to be replaced more often, while pricier clumping or silica litter lasts longer. Buy cat litter online at Bopets with free delivery from €70.

Frequently asked questions cat litter

Which type of cat litter is best?
Clumping litter is the most popular: easy to clean and economical. Silica litter absorbs odours well. Natural litters (wood, corn) are eco-friendly. The best choice depends on your cat's preference and your priorities.
How often should I change the cat litter completely?
With clumping litter, scoop daily and fully replace every 2 to 4 weeks. With non-clumping litter, replace completely every 5 to 7 days. Always clean the litter box with mild soap when refilling.
How much litter should I put in the box?
Fill the litter box with 5 to 7 cm of litter. Too little causes odour issues, too much is wasteful. Cats like to dig, so a sufficient depth is important.
Can I flush cat litter down the toilet?
Only some plant-based litters are labelled as flushable. Never flush clumping, silica or clay litters, they can clog pipes. Always check the packaging. When in doubt, dispose of in the bin.
My cat refuses to use the litter box. What can I do?
Try a different type of litter, clean the box more frequently, or try a larger or uncovered box. Cats can be particular. If the problem persists, consult your vet to rule out medical issues.
