Clay litters can be prone to giving off a fine dust, especially when replacing the litter. This dust can contain tiny clay particles, silica, or other materials which when inhaled can cause respiratory issues over time. While it’s true that some plant-based litters can still produce dust, especially when poured, this dust does not contain clay or silica, making the dust itself less hazardous. The good news is that some manufacturers of plant-based litters also offer low-dust options, making these some of the best options if dust is a concern. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1659637934078-XV6OSGZANUN6QW0FAK7R/unsplash-image-Pnm-9vBEQhk.jpg Blog - Is Clay Still King? - Let’s face it—most of us don’t want changing the cat litter to turn into leg day. And depending on the materials used, cat litter can be heavy! For some folks, that can be a real problem. Clay litters are generally the heaviest options—no surprise considering they are literally dug out of the ground. And while they can absorb just as much as they weigh, that weight is no joke. It is not uncommon to see bags or boxes of clay litter weighing 20 or even 40 pounds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1659640677265-74U6RILOWYVNABRMF1IS/unsplash-image-Y-YaTBtNzKo.jpg Blog - Is Clay Still King? - Clay litters usually contain bentonite, which (although abundant) is a non-renewable material and has to be mined from Earth’s surface. The mining process disrupts the topsoil, altering the chemical properties of the ground and impeding restoration efforts. By comparison, “natural” cat litters are usually made from recycled or reclaimed materials, such as newspaper, walnut shells, bean dregs, or other materials which would otherwise be discarded. By using these renewable resources, natural cat litters help reduce industrial waste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1659634742701-XQVRVI4VHAGALAV1KF64/unsplash-image-T1ZaPD0KhFQ.jpg Blog - Is Clay Still King? - This is a big one for a lot of people. Clumping litters can make cleanup more convenient, especially when it comes to urine. The smelly stuff gets bound up in an easily scoop-able package. So, how do different materials stack up? Traditional clay litters have historically been the only game in town for clumping litters. They generally use bentonite clay and/or other clay minerals to produce a litter that quickly absorbs moisture and sticks together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1659632018262-6N8VAGDBNQQK9D4L5LFK/unsplash-image-dYnqzfx7Dk8.jpg Blog - Is Clay Still King? - Choosing a cat litter used to be a no-brainer. Go to your local brick-and-mortar store and you could have your pick of the usual brands of clay litter—clumping or non-clumping was about the only decision to make. But run a search for cat litter these days and you’re likely to be confronted with a barrage of options. So here, we’ll take a moment to look at some of the things you may want to consider when choosing a cat litter for your home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1659639733954-1V4NE8SOXWCQ3R3W4NN0/unsplash-image-ayBEecwQK58.jpg Blog - Is Clay Still King? - With as much cat litter as the average cat uses, it’s no wonder that price is a common consideration for cat caregivers. Price will vary depending on materials, clumping, or other features. Both clay and plant-based non-clumping litters offer good affordability, while clumping litters of all types will usually cost more due to their convenience. Clumping plant-based formulas are sometimes higher priced due to more complex processing. But for many, the benefits of going plant-based make that difference worthwhile. https://www.shoplalacat.com/home daily 1.0 2023-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/ce9a911a-0691-47d6-a6f3-1fa0ca569f66/Cat.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1663173685560-08MLDF5GT0IJ372D9ANB/LALACAT+Litter+Front_White+Edit.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1668029511314-YDYWRB591TVLYAXB8UGH/Sleigh+full+view+with+cat+square-01.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1667588758711-5CP9HEI8LGV3YRWWTFLK/Updated+Podium+Front-01-01.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1dea6041-94ff-4a02-8a81-3f12159fae8d/Shizuka+Headpats.jpeg Home Shizuka – Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/3def919c-8d2f-4a16-a4d7-1b39e4f5f7b4/Xiaoju.jpg Home Xiaoju – Product Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/13ddd9f8-4300-4ff6-80c6-a2ad138bae93/Hu+Mi+Cute.jpeg Home Hu Mi – Quality Control https://www.shoplalacat.com/our-story daily 0.75 2022-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1658866553662-1E58WGZJAJ6PB7FRPZOZ/LALACAT+Pine+Scraps.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1662583715896-7H2VDL1HCCFMU3PDNRGM/Mr.+Jack-01.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1658938899145-KLNW2DGF70LVY1H32QAF/unsplash-image-Ob9jdsHB_hs.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1662581926646-0IHDV6N3MDMYWMSQAYGX/unsplash-image-I306rDlvTYY.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1658938662069-KHQQVKWGRMTSMHQOK6WZ/unsplash-image-83RJnK0UbW4.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1658938473121-FDBO5GY19EE6GE0PCKLQ/unsplash-image-CE0qefUfAe8.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1dea6041-94ff-4a02-8a81-3f12159fae8d/Shizuka+Headpats.jpeg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/3def919c-8d2f-4a16-a4d7-1b39e4f5f7b4/Xiaoju.jpg Our Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/13ddd9f8-4300-4ff6-80c6-a2ad138bae93/Hu+Mi+Cute.jpeg Our Story https://www.shoplalacat.com/email-signup daily 0.75 2022-09-26 https://www.shoplalacat.com/thank-you daily 0.75 2022-11-09 https://www.shoplalacat.com/shop daily 0.75 2022-11-04 https://www.shoplalacat.com/shop/cat-litter monthly 0.5 2022-07-25 https://www.shoplalacat.com/shop/cat-scratchers monthly 0.5 2022-11-09 https://www.shoplalacat.com/shop/pet-accessories monthly 0.5 2024-01-18 https://www.shoplalacat.com/shop/p/phone-booth-cat-scratcher-cute-cat-scratcher-with-sturdy-cardboard-construction monthly 0.5 2024-07-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62deb6c3bd10a467101f0f5f/1705599128748-PST9S9JKIQZE1CG80XLP/https%3A%2F%2Fi.etsystatic.com%2F25467891%2Fr%2Fil%2F947dac%2F5730822607%2Fil_fullxfull.5730822607_8ics.jpg Shop -
