Cat litter should be comfortable and safe for your cat to use, easily cover up their poop and pee, and do a good job of masking unpleasant aromas. When choosing a litter, one of the basic choices you have is whether to opt for clumping or non-clumping cat litter.
On the one hand, clumping litter should be easier to clear up and the litter should last longer without needing to be replaced. However, it is not considered as good at collecting cat urine as non-clumping litter. That being said, the latter also has its issues; it leads to a pooling of urine once the litter becomes saturated.
Both types of litter have their proponents and opponents, as well as their own benefits and pitfalls. Below, we have out primary differences between these two categories of cat litter so that you can choose the right one for your litter trays.
