Trends and Products: Cat Litter Options

Timothy Hill

Cat litter is a necessity that doesn’t get enough attention. However, it’s constantly changing in an attempt to meet the needs of cat parents, and there’s no shortage of new litters on the market. The cat litter category has evolved to include recycled paper, wood materials, silica gel and such plant-based ingredients as wheat and corn in the search for effective, low tracking materials.

It has an unrivaled cat acceptance. Catalyst Litter is available in three formulas: Healthy Cat, Multi-Cat and Unscented.
