Runner-Up Best Paper Cat Litter: Yesterday’s News paper cat litter is different from Okocat paper litter in that it’s made from recycled paper rather than reclaimed lumber. We like that this paper litter has a softer texture, making it a good choice for kittens, seniors, and post-surgical cats. This eco-friendly litter is light on the wallet but offers superior absorbency and odor control.

It is also biodegradable, so it breaks down and won’t contribute to landfill waste. Plant fibre cat litter - arguably the most sustainable option, made from a wide variety of natural waste products, from corn or wheat fibres to peanut shells. All are dried out, combined and compressed into granules or pellets.

They can even be safe for reptiles, but read labeling and instructions to be sure. What can I add to paper litter to control odor? –If your cat enjoys their paper litter and you clean it frequently but there’s still an unpleasant odor, you can consider adding some baking soda directly to the litter box. This will help neutralize urine odors without harming your cat. Baking soda is non-toxic. Odor control: Most paper cat litters are formulated without any sort of fragrance or deodorant. However, some have additional baking soda for superior odor control. We placed feline urine on each cat litter and stood at set distances from it to see if we could detect any unpleasant smells.

The choice between clumping cat litter and non-clumping is mostly down to how often you want to replace the soiled litter in the tray, or clean out the whole thing.Can’t I just use shredded paper?

Shredded paper will also be stinkier than pellets, so you’ll have to scoop more often.

If you’re using clumping paper litter, you can change it once every two weeks or so.How do I scoop paper litter? Because it typically doesn’t clump, plus comes with large pieces, you’ll likely end up having some difficulty the first couple of times you scoop out the litter box. The biggest help will be getting a different scooper with larger holes. Other than that, you should first collect any feces in the box while letting any still fresh pellets go through or roll off of the scooper. Then dig around the bottom of the box to find any pellets that have collected urine. Finally, add new pellets if needed. An added bonus is that Naturally Fresh is manufactured in a 100% solar-powered plant. Because walnut litters are not as common as clay-based litters, you may not find them in all stores.
