Clumping, durable and inexpensive. This is the best cat litter!
Cats love a clean litter box. And so do their owners. So always choose a high quality cat litter. But which one is best? Do you choose litter made of wood, silica or bentonite? We have the answer for you!
Cats like to be clean. They find it very important that their toilet is clean – that is, the litter box. Do you want your cat to use the litter box properly? Then you need to make sure it is always clean. And that you use good cat litter.
But which cat litter is the best?
Briefly, there are three types of cat litter. You can buy cat litter based on wood, silica and bentonite. Each kind has good properties, but one of them is really the best cat litter. Below is a handy explanation.
What is cat litter made of wood?
Wood-based cat litter is bought in the form of wood chips or wood pellets. Some cats like this kind, but it is not the most durable product. First of all, it does not clump well and you have to change and clean the litter box more often. And for wood, trees have to be cut down, which is obviously not very sustainable.
Disadvantages of wooden cat litter
It does not clump
Not sustainable in use
Bad for the environment
What is silica cat litter?
Silica is an absorbent plastic. The advantage of cat litter made of this material is that it does not dust – cats with sensitive airways tolerate this litter well. And it is reasonably durable in use. But because silica is produced chemically, it is not environmentally friendly. It is also unfortunate that the pellets stick to your cat’s paws – so you often find them around the house.
Disadvantages of silica cat litter
Chemically produced
Not environmentally friendly
Granules stick to cats’ paws
And finally, the best: bentonite cat litter
We want to make all cats around the world happy, and so of course a line of really good cat litter could not be missed. This year was finally here: we have another fantastic product:

What is bentonite cat litter?
We make cat litter from pure magnesium bentonite. This durable clay is naturally extracted, dried and ground into a superfine pellet. Cats love to dig in it and pee is maximally absorbed into a solid lump. It also absorbs odours well – very nice if your cat has done a big errand! Since Dirty Rebels is not chemically treated, it retains its original ‘ground smell’, to which a cat instinctively responds positively
