What are the benefits of using paper cat litter?

Paper cat litter, especially types made from recycled paper, offers numerous benefits. It's highly absorbent, effectively trapping urine and reducing odours. It's also dust-free, making it a healthier choice for cats and owners with respiratory issues. Plus, it's lighter than clay litter, making it easier to handle and dispose of.

How is paper cat litter different from other types of cat litter?

Unlike clay or crystal litter, paper cat litter is made from recycled paper — a renewable resource. It's biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly choice. It's also softer on your cat's paws and less likely to track around your home.

Is paper cat litter safe for my cat?

Yes, paper cat litter is safe for cats of all ages. It's non-toxic and made from natural materials, so if your cat accidentally ingests some while grooming, it won't harm them. The dust-free nature of paper litter also reduces the risk of respiratory issues.

How often should I change paper cat litter?

For optimal cleanliness and odour control, it's recommended that you change paper cat litter at least once a week. However, the frequency can vary depending on the number of cats in your home and their bathroom habits. We recommend scooping out faeces and soiled litter daily. 

Can paper cat litter be used with kittens?

Absolutely! Paper cat litter is an excellent choice for kittens. Its soft texture is gentle on their tiny paws, and because it's non-toxic, it's safe if they ingest some.

How does paper cat litter control odours?

Paper cat litter controls odours effectively thanks to its high absorbency. It soaks up urine quickly, trapping the smell inside.

Is paper cat litter environmentally friendly?

Yes, paper cat litter is environmentally friendly. It's made from recycled paper, reducing waste in landfill. Plus, it's biodegradable and compostable, unlike many traditional litters.

Can paper cat litter be flushed down the toilet?

How much paper cat litter should I put in the tray?

Aim for a depth of about 5 to 7 centimetres of paper cat litter in the tray. This allows your cat to dig and cover their waste while ensuring effective absorption and odour control.

Does paper cat litter create dust or mess?

One of the benefits of paper cat litter is that it's virtually dust-free, reducing mess and the risk of respiratory problems. It's also less likely to be tracked around your home than other types of litter, keeping your space cleaner.
