Is Your Cat Litter Letting You Down?

Choosing the right cat litter isn’t just about price or convenience — it’s about the health of your cat and the harmony of your home.

If you’ve been noticing a few “stinky” situations lately — such as your home smelling like a poop-scented flower shop or you feel the need to wear sandals inside — your litter may in fact be the culprit.

Luckily we know a thing or two about cat litter, which is why we’ve come up with five red flags that it may be time to make a switch.

5 SIGNS YOUR CAT LITTER ISN’T CUTTING IT

1. A “Looming” Odor

If you walk through your front door and can immediately tell where the litter box is located, your litter isn’t doing its job. No one should be greeted with the waft of smelly cat business upon walking in their door.

A high-quality litter should neutralize ammonia on contact, rather than just masking it with heavy artificial perfumes that can irritate a cat’s sensitive nose and make your home smell like a mixture of poop and petunias.

2. Excessive Dust Clouds

Do you hold your breath when you pour new litter or scoop the box? Dust isn’t just a cleaning nuisance; it’s a respiratory hazard for both you and your cat.

If your current litter leaves a layer of white or grey film on nearby furniture, it’s a major red flag for air quality and it’s time consider a low dust litter alternative.

3. YOUR HOME FEELS LIKE THE BEACH

If you find litter granules in your bed, on your kitchen counters, or halfway across the house, your litter’s texture is failing.

Litter that sticks to paws easily (tracking) usually means the granules are too light or poorly shaped. You want a litter that stays in the box — like a low-tracking cat litter.

4. Lingering Dampness – AKA Poor Clumping

When you scoop, do the clumps fall apart? Or worse, do you find a “muddy” layer at the bottom of the box? Effective clumping should happen quickly and stay firm.

Poor clumping leads to bacteria buildup and forced full-box clean outs much more often than necessary.

5. Your Cat is “Protesting”

Cats are clean creatures. If your cat has started digging excessively, meowing near the box, or — worst of all —going outside the box, they are sending you a message.

Often, the texture is too sharp on their paws, or the chemical scent is overwhelming. Behavioral changes are the ultimate red flag.
