It excels at absorbing moisture and odour, locking them deep within the litter, and is free from chemical additives. This premium litter can last up to 7 weeks in your cat's litter tray, reducing the frequency of tray changes and overall costs. The litter is made from PEFC-certified wood secondary raw materials, meaning no additional trees are cut down, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice. It is fully biodegradable and compostable; solid waste can be composted, and clumps can be flushed down the toilet in sensible amounts (always check local disposal regulations first). Cat's Best Original is known for its low dust content, gentleness on paws and floors, and is up to 50% lighter than mineral litters, making it easy to transport. It is suitable for cats of all ages. Disposal advice: Flush clumps one by one, allowing them to dissolve before flushing. Avoid flushing entire trays of litter; consult local waste disposal regulations for bulk disposal (organic waste, compost, or household waste).
This guide is for cat owners seeking an effective, environmentally friendly, and easy-to-manage cat litter solution. Cat's Best Original offers superior odor control and absorbency thanks to its natural wood fiber composition. A key benefit is its long-lasting performance, reducing the frequency of litter changes. However, it's important to note that while clumps can be flushed in small amounts, you must adhere to local regulations regarding waste disposal.

FAQs
How do I dispose of the used litter?
Solid waste clumps can be flushed one by one in the toilet, allowing them to dissolve before flushing. Do not flush entire trays of litter. For bulk disposal, consult your local waste disposal regulations for organic waste, compost, or household waste.
Is Cat's Best Original safe for my cat?
Yes, it is safe. It is made from natural wood fibers and free from chemical additives. It's gentle on paws and less dusty than other litters.
How often should I change the entire litter box?
The litter can last up to 7 weeks, depending on the number of cats and their habits. It's recommended to change the entire litter box when it starts to lose its effectiveness in odor control or absorbency.
Can I compost this litter?
Yes, the solid waste can be composted. The entire litter is biodegradable and compostable. However, always check local regulations.
What if my cat doesn't like the new litter?
Some cats take time to adjust. Try mixing a small amount of Cat's Best Original with the old litter to help them get used to the new texture and scent.
Is the litter dusty?
Cat's Best Original is designed to be low dust. This reduces the amount of dust in your home and is healthier for your cat and family.
Is the product scented?
No, Cat's Best Original is not scented. It relies on the natural properties of the wood fibers to absorb and control odors.
Troubleshooting
Cat is not using the litter box.
Ensure the litter box is clean, in a quiet location, and easily accessible. Some cats may need time to adjust to a new type of litter; try mixing it with their old litter initially.
Litter box smells despite cleaning.
Ensure you are scooping the clumps regularly. Consider a deeper layer of litter in the box or increasing the frequency of full litter changes. Ensure the box is in a well-ventilated area.
Litter is tracking outside the box.
Use a litter mat to trap loose litter. Consider a litter box with higher sides or a covered design to reduce tracking.
Litter is not clumping effectively.
Ensure there is an adequate depth of litter in the box. Check the cat's urine output; if excessive, consult a vet. The wood fiber litter needs time to absorb.
