Product Information

Is paper litter safe for cats? – Paper cat litter is very safe for cats, as it’s made from recycled, natural materials. Paper cat litters typically don’t have any added chemicals or toxins. This type of cat litter is also much safer for the environment than clay litter. Paper pellets are generally soft on your cat’s paws and good for their respiratory health because the pellets don’t emit dust. So, perhaps one of the best choices you can make for your cat, the environment, and your lungs is to choose a biodegradable cat litter. Alternative litters are made from a variety of materials alone or in mixtures including paper, corn, walnuts, wheat, wood, pine, and grass. Original Natural Wood Clumping Cat Litter controls odor, clumps together for scooping, and has a crumbly texture that appeals to most cats. This plant-based cat litter is biodegradable and made from sustainably sourced wood fiber giving it a faint woodsy scent reminiscent of being outside in nature. Recycled paper litter is safe for animals and can be composted so it doesn’t have to end up in the landfill, although cat waste must be composted with care so that the resulting soil is never applied to food crops.

Paper cat litter - usually recycled paper, old newspapers and byproducts from wood production, which are compressed into pellets. How do I scoop paper litter? Because it typically doesn’t clump, plus comes with large pieces, you’ll likely end up having some difficulty the first couple of times you scoop out the litter box. The biggest help will be getting a different scooper with larger holes. Other than that, you should first collect any feces in the box while letting any still fresh pellets go through or roll off of the scooper. Then dig around the bottom of the box to find any pellets that have collected urine. Finally, add new pellets if needed. If the poo is, well, perfectly contained, then it’s less of a problem because it can be disposed of separately and the absorbed urine might actually help your compost heap because it’s nitrogen based. Just be careful to keep the heap balanced with other materials if you want it to breakdown in a reasonable time-frame.

Pellet size: It’s not often that a paper cat litter will work in a mechanical litter box because the pellets are too large. However, there are a few paper choices that have thinner, shorter pellets. Silica cat litter - silicon dioxide minerals which are often mined from quartz sand and heated until they crystalise into gel granules.

Made from >99% recycled paper (no virgin wood fibre) which is a renewable resource otherwise destined for landfill. All of the eco-friendly cat litter on our list is fragrance-free. A fragrance is often added to cat litter to help it appeal to humans, not cats. The fragrance, which typically makes litter smell like laundry detergent, is produced via manmade chemicals. On the other hand, odor masking and absorption are beneficial for both felines and people. It keeps the litter box ready for use and it keeps the stench of poop and pee away from everyone’s nose. Like walnut shells, corn cobs, and some wood-based litters, this paper cat litter is made from a product that would otherwise be thrown away. Fresh News Recycled Paper cat litter is made with 100% post-consumer paper from recycling centers. In fact, the company created a community recycling program called PaperGator where non-profit organizations, primarily churches and schools, get paid for collecting paper products both internally and from their communities. Runner-Up Best Paper Cat Litter: Yesterday’s News paper cat litter is different from Okocat paper litter in that it’s made from recycled paper rather than reclaimed lumber. We like that this paper litter has a softer texture, making it a good choice for kittens, seniors, and post-surgical cats. This eco-friendly litter is light on the wallet but offers superior absorbency and odor control. Most cat litters will mention whether or not they are flushable. But the truth is, if you can avoid it, it’s better if you don’t flush your cat litter. Flushable cat litters don’t expand as much as non-flushable types. Both kinds are capable of clogging your pipes if you ignore their specific flushing directions.If you’ve never tried an alternative litter, this is a great place to start. It’s carried affordably in a lot of major stores as well as health-conscious pet stores. The Breeder Celect Recycled Paper Cat Litter is made from 99% recycled paper and has no added chemicals or additives. It is a brilliant highly absorbent cat litter that includes a natural odour control. When scooping, the clumps stay firmly together for disposal in the trash where the litter will eventually begin to disintegrate. The particles of this litter are bigger than traditional sand-like cat litter, so you may find that the pieces don’t fall through the slots of your scoop as easily.
