There are many types of cat litter on the market, and the following three are the most common:

1. Crystal cat litter: The main component is silica, which gradually turns yellow after absorbing urine. Although it has good absorption, it cannot clump and has a strong odor;

2. Tofu cat litter: mainly made from tofu residue, it can be directly flushed into the toilet during cleaning, and it clumps quickly and has good absorption;

3. Pine cat litter: The main ingredient is pine wood, and the particles will turn into powder when exposed to water, so they will not stick to the cat's hair and will consume less.

 

In addition, there are also expanded clay cat litter, paper cat litter, etc. Expanded clay cat litter is the cheapest type, and its main component is bentonite, similar to sand, so it clumps quickly and has good water absorption, but the disadvantage is that there is a lot of dust.

Paper cat litter, on the other hand, is the most environmentally friendly type, made from recycled paper that can be recycled and not easily taken out of the pot. It has less dust, but its clumping is poor, making it easy to produce odors, and most of the prices are relatively high.
