When deciding on a litter for your new Persian cat or kittens first check with the breeder and find out the one he or she is used to. Then you may change it by following just a few simple steps. You can do so by using two boxes side-by-side and letting your cat choose. Or with some you can simply change with no interruption at all. Also placement of the box should be carefully considered. Sometimes if you have a large home you might want to have two or even three. Also sometimes when changing location this must be done slowly. Moving the box a few feet at a time until you new choice of locations is reached. All that said let’s investigate types of litter.

Scoopable clumping litters, this type is usually a clay based. It comes in scented  and non-scented formulas. Really the cat cares not if it is or isn’t, the scent is for you. If you scoop regularly you will have no problems with odor. Clay litters are very affordable and, in many brands. Personally I like the fresh step with older eliminating carbon.

Crystal litters. These  are composed of silica and sand, they are low dust. The urine  is absorbed and you stir it in.  The feces is dehydrated, making it easy to remove with a scoop. This type  works well in small places as well as multiple cat households. I personally choose the Precious Cat Respiratory Relief.. It is biodegradable, hypo allergenic, low  tracking, non-toxic and what
more could you ask from a litter.

Corn litters. this litter is 100% natural made from whole kernel corn. It is the one litter which is flushable. It is a clumping litter. It advertises  odor control,  is Pet people and planet safe. Is a great choice for those who like natural products. In this type I like the world’s best brand.
Paper litters. made from 100% recycled paper. This is fragrance free very absorbent. It also is very low tracking and virtually dust free.

Wheat litters low just low tracking clay and chemical free claims to have clumping and easy scooping. Non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

Pine litters this is very similar to the wheat and corn litters. Once again they are environmentally friendly and dust free.

Plastic pellets these are virtually dust free and the urine passes through to an odor controlling pad beneath or is washed away. No dust or mess from these systems. Some use pads beneath some hook to your plumbing.  I think it is great for those with one or two Cats total.

Toilet training. This uses no litter at all, it is a system which trains your cat to use a standard toilet. They claim three easy steps and your cat will be toilet trained. I have not tried this for myself but I am willing. (Although I would not use this until my cat was full grown., because of the obvious danger of the kitten falling in a toilet filled with water.)

This sums up my look at the different types of litter available. I think the choice is up to you. You must decide which elements are right for you. Natural environmentally friendly or economical there are plenty of choices for you to make.
