Is paper litter safe for cats? – Paper cat litter is very safe for cats, as it’s made from recycled, natural materials. Paper cat litters typically don’t have any added chemicals or toxins. This type of cat litter is also much safer for the environment than clay litter. Paper pellets are generally soft on your cat’s paws and good for their respiratory health because the pellets don’t emit dust. Multi-purpose: Have pets other than cats, like gerbils or rabbits?

A fragrance is often added to cat litter to help it appeal to humans, not cats. The fragrance, which typically makes litter smell like laundry detergent, is produced via manmade chemicals.

Depending on the type of paper litter you buy, it can also be disposed of in several different ways, including via composting.

Paper cat litter is also said to be great for cats with sensitive skin. Small granule litter could irritate sensitive skin and get matted in your cat’s fur. Paper litter pellets are much easier on your kitty’s precious skin and fur. Can’t I just use shredded paper? Well, technically, yes. But the shredded paper will be thinner than paper pellets, meaning it will become wet when it absorbs moisture which your cat will likely hate. Shredded paper will also be stinkier than pellets, so you’ll have to scoop more often. How often does paper litter need to be changed? Unless you’re using a clumping paper litter, you should be scooping out your box once a day and changing the litter entirely once a week. If you have a clumping version, you can go a little longer without changing it out completely. If your cat is accustomed to a certain type of litter, they may find a new texture or scent off-putting. As you would do with new food, we recommend a gradual transition to your new, eco-friendly litter. For example, start with 2/3 of the familiar cat litter and 1/3 of your new litter. Over time as you scoop and clean out the litter box, continue to add more of the new litter until your cat box has fully transitioned. This recommendation might impact aspects such as clumping, so defer to your new litter for guidance.
