Finding the Right Eco-Friendly Kitty Litter for Your Finicky Cat

Cherie Bowser
Cats are finicky and if you are considering of changing your cat litter to an eco-friendly, biodegradable cat litter, you may find your cat unhappy about the change and refusing to use your the new cat litter. Eco-friendly, biodegradable cat litter is very easy to find these days since everyone is trying to make an effort to go green. You will find that there are many types of eco-friendly cat litters that are made from pine, cedar, recycled newspaper, or plant based ingredients, such as corn or wheat. It can be very confusing when it comes to choosing which eco-friendly cat litter is right for your cat and it may take some time if you have a cat that doesn't want to cooperate.

Once you decide on which which bio-degradable cat litter is best for you, you can gradually add a little to your old cat litter and slowly transition over. If you change your cat litter all together, your cat may turn it's nose away and refuse to use the the new eco-friendly cat litter you bought and how do you explain to your cat that you are trying to go green with an all natural biodegradable cat litter that will help our earth and the future for all cats. The cat doesn't care nor understand, so it's a trial or error on which eco-friendly cat litter is best for you and your cat. Here are some eco-friendly, biodegradable, all natural cat litters that you can use for your cat. If one doesn't work, you may want to try another. Every cat is different and your cat may be use to a certain texture and they don't want to change.

Eco-Friendly Kitty Litter Made From Pine: FreshAire with Bio-Filters Cat Litter

FreshAire with Bio-Filters Cat Litter comes in two different choices. Both are great, but I prefer the cedar more than the pine because I love cedar smell, but it will all depend on your cat. The FreshAire with Bio-Filters Cat Litter in Fresh Pine is made from 100% American kiln-dried pine wood. The FreshAire with Bio-Filters Cat Litter in Fresh Cedar is made from Kiln-dried wood can absorb three times its own weight in moisture which traps cat urination and order without the chemicals. This is an exclusive item from Petsmart and I have found this eco-friendly kitty litter to be work very well. A 20 ounce bag costs $3.49. You can order it online or go to the Petsmart website to find a store near you.

    If they don't like the feel of the litter, they won't use it, that's for sure. I hadn't heard about some of these. We don't have them in my area, but it's always good to know so you can keep an eye out for them.

    I would love to switch to a more earth friendly litter, but we have too many cats for the cost. Great review!
