Natural cat litter made from plants

By the Toodle team · Updated · Prices checked daily

Natural cat litters are made from plants instead of clay: walnut shells, corn, wheat, pine, grass seed, tofu or recycled paper. Each one behaves a little differently, so the material is listed for every litter.

Switching litters? Mix the new one into the old over a week or so, so your cat gets used to it.

Types of natural cat litter

Corn, wheat, walnut-shell, grass-seed and tofu litters usually clump, so you scoop them like clay. Pine and wood pellets usually don't clump: they absorb liquid and break down into sawdust, and you sift or change them. Recycled paper litter is soft and low-dust, but doesn't clump.

Natural litter vs. clay litter

Clay litter is mined and heavy. Plant-based litters are usually lighter to carry and made from renewable or by-product materials. Some can be composted or flushed in small amounts; follow each maker's guidance, and check your local rules first.

How to switch your cat to a new litter

Cats can be picky about litter. Mix a little of the new litter into the old one and increase it gradually over about a week. Keep the box in the same place, and if your cat avoids it, go back a step.

Questions

What's the difference between natural and clay litter?
Clay litters are mined. Natural litters are made from plant materials like corn, wheat, walnut shells, pine, grass seed, tofu or paper. Many are lighter to carry, and some can be composted; check each maker's guidance.
Do natural litters clump?
Many do. Corn, wheat, walnut, grass seed and tofu litters usually clump; pine pellets and paper usually don't. Each product page says which.
How do I switch my cat to a new litter?
Mix a little of the new litter into the old one and increase it over about a week.
