Litter and food are the two things a cat owner buys again and again, so it pays to compare them properly. The goal is a product your cat accepts and that is easy for you to manage.
Cats can be fussy. Changing litter or food suddenly may be refused, so switch gradually and watch how your cat reacts.
Choosing litter
Litter comes down to a few trade-offs.
- Clumping or non-clumping
- Lightweight or standard weight — lightweight is easier to carry, standard is often cheaper per kilogram
- Scented or unscented — many cats prefer unscented
- Multi-cat formulas, if you have more than one cat
Wet food and treats
Variety packs are a low-risk way to find out which textures your cat likes before buying a large quantity of one flavour. Treats should stay a small part of the diet.
