Clumping cat litter
The theory holds that, when the cat inhales the clay dust or ingests the litter through grooming (or, in the case of curious kittens, eats it outright), the clay clumps together and swells in the body, just like it does in the litter box. This could cause potentially fatal lung problems and intestinal blockage. Unfortunately, no one's ever studied whether this actually happens, and if so, how common it is. Manufacturers point out that there are no documented cases of any cat dying or getting sick from clumping litter. And despite the controversy, clumping litter has a soft, sandy feel that's attractive to cats. Owners appreciate fewer litter changes and less odor. Some owners who like clumping litter choose to use something else during their cat's kitten phase, then make the switch. If you do choose clumping litter, remove clumps daily or whenever you notice them. You should change the litter entirely every two weeks to control bacteria. Rating: 3 paws
