Van Cat Classic Clumping Litter Unscented 5KG

Product Information

What we’ve learned in our 3+ years with our cat is that although some adjustments and considerations are required, your cat will eventually learn to adapt to your on-the-go lifestyle. No cat litter is perfect for every household but there are key qualities to consider when choosing between products. Ultimately, you want to select a litter product your cat likes while factoring in features that affect functionality and affordability. Easy to Clean The most head-spinning part of the cat litter marketplace may be the natural and organic department. These products are made from a range of organic and recycled materials including wheat, wood, grass, paper, tofu, and more. While they may be eco-friendlier than many traditional cat litters, they come at a price and might not offer equal performance.

Clump & Seal Multi-Cat is technically scented, but it's very faint—the Arm & Hammer litter smells mildly like baking soda, with a floral, fresh laundry overtone that's hardly noticeable unless your nose is right on top of it. Still, while it's not noticeably or heavily scented, it is effective at covering up odors, even when we left the box un-scooped for a few days (sorry Wally!). This depends on which cat litter you buy, which is usually a choice between clumping or non-clumping cat litter. Clumping cat litter vs non-clumping The flat-clumping design helps trap odor before it becomes an issue, a benefit compounded by the infusion of probiotics. These probiotics help control bacteria that cause litter box odor. These same bacteria can be spread to the surfaces in your home via your cat’s paws.In testing, this litter produced a little bit of dust when pouring it into the litter box, but I found it performed quite well overall. This litter forms very firm, cohesive clumps that are easy to scoop, and the odor control was pretty strong.

If anything, the peace of mind is worth the price, even if you’re the most careful planner. Keeping your cat warm on cold daysGorgeous kitties with cashmere soft coats, Turkish Van cats are renowned for their fun-loving personalities and their often quirky behaviors.

It’s vital that you get your cat comfortable with wearing a leash before hitting the road. Practice at home for several hours per day and take them on frequent walks so they get used to it. In 1982, Turkish Van cats made their way to the US from Britain. It took over a decade for the US-based Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) to grant recognition. Finally - in 1994 - the breed could be registered and shown at CFA events. Food and litter take up quite a bit of space in a tiny home. Most cat owners will keep the litter stored in the original bag that it came in.

Then you can wrap your water bottle in a light blanket and set it next to your kitty. Most cats absolutely love the warmth of a hot towel to lay next to. Avoid Nosy Neighbors This litter is naturally unscented, so it won’t irritate your cat’s nose, but it is likely to produce some dust. Customers comment that their cats seem to like the texture of the granules and that the litter works very well with their automatic litter box. You can tie your leash to the outside of the camper van so your cat can chase after bugs and roll around in the grass. This is one of the reasons that we recommend organic materials like pine pellets rather than clay litter. Not only is it good for the environment, but it smells nicer and it’s easy to dispose. Cat Food Storage For the most part, cats are not as welcomed inside–even when we’re talking about pet friendly places.

There are also biodegradable litters, like our selections for Best Premium ( Tuft and Paws Really Great Cat Litter), Best Pellets ( Ökocat Dust Free Non-Clumping Paper Pellet Cat Litter), and Best Flushable ( sWheat Scoop Mutli-Cat Natural Litter). These litters are made with natural materials, like soybeans, paper, and wheat, which will eventually deteriorate. Clumps made with these litters can be broken down into smaller pieces and flushed, but not all communities allow pet waste to be disposed of this way.
