Types of fillers
- Clumping bentonite (Catsan, Ever Clean, Pi-Pi-Bent) is the most popular. Upon contact with liquid, it forms dense lumps that are easily scooped out with a scoop. Changes every 2-4 weeks.
- Silica gel (Cat Step Crystal, N1 Crystals) - absorbs moisture and odor in the crystals. The “dryest” filler, changes every 3-4 weeks. More expensive, but more economical per month.
- Wood pellets (N1 Wood, Cat Step Wood) - natural sawdust pressed into granules. Eco-friendly, biodegradable. After soaking, they turn into sawdust and are easily flushed down the toilet.
- Mineral / Zeolite - absorbent granules, do not clump. For one cat it is enough for 2-3 weeks.
- Corn (Sanicat Corn, Cat Step Corn) - clumping, biodegradable, dust-free.
- Paper / Pulp - for kittens, after operations (sterilization, castration) - soft and do not stick to wounds.
How to choose a filler
- Budget - wood is the cheapest, silica gel is more expensive, but more economical in the long run
- Allergies of the owner - choose silica gel or corn (minimum dust)
- Kitten - papery or small clumping (not harmful if eaten)
- Many cats - premium clumping or silica gel (holds odor better)
- Closed tray - clumping or silica gel
- Open tray with high side - wood or clumping
How much filler is needed
Layer 5-7 cm from the bottom of the tray. Clumping: 5-7 kg is enough for 1 cat for 3-4 weeks. Silica gel: 3.8 liter pack - for a month. Wood pellets are the most consumable, 5 kg for 2 weeks for one cat.
