Oftentimes, many cat parents wait for the smell from the litter box to start permeating the surroundings before replacing the litter in the litter box. Cat litter differ in their ability to prevent odor buildup, however, there tends to be some common trends on specific types of materials. Crystals are known for their excellent ability to contain smells. Crystal/clay hybrids comes next when it comes to the holding in litter box odors followed by clays, and finally all-natural materials such as wood, corn cobs, etc. But this does not mean that you should automatically disregard the idea of using corn or paper pellet litter for your cat’s litter box. These materials are better for the environment, easier on the pocket, more comfortable to your pet’s sensitive paws, less tracking, etc. You can also ask your Ashburn, VA veterinarian’s opinion when choosing the best litter for your cat.
