    I know that there is a bias because the video comes from tuft+paw and they sell a tofu litter but I appreciated that this was pretty fair. It didn't feel like the watcher was being heavily pushed to tofu, or even the brands own litter. Definitely a good vid for new cat parents, even experienced ones for looking for new litter types

      This comment made our day! We're obviously bias to tofu as that's the route we went, but the reality is that there are some other options out there that cat parents could consider and we wanted to share :)

      Depends what your main priorities are! Odor, clumping, cost, tracking, dust, etc. In general though, we prefer a pellet tofu litter, like Really Great Cat Litter :)

      Just came from Walmart with their 40 varieties of litter and only one single type litter box that was an over complicated self cleaning deal for 140 bucks...
      Looks like my stray will continue to use his litter wok 😂
      Been using pine bedding as I have dogs and use it outside. Works okay but tracks terrible.

      If you want the best for your cats health and the environment, soy, wood, or corn is the go to. I personally HATE the pellets (I find I waste a ton of the litter when cleaning poops) so corn is the top for me!

      I like the wood pellet litter. Very economical: i buy 40 pound bag for less than $7.00 at Tractor Supply. I also bought a sifting litterbox from Amazon: Arm abd Hammer Sifting Litterbox. Came with two litter boxes and a sifter that nested inside litterboxes.
      It only takes a couple minutes to sift pellets. Pellets are converted to sawdust when cat urinates on them. Sifting seperates sawdust easily for disposal.

      Allergies in cats are low, estimated at 1-10%. If you are concerned your kitty might have an allergy we always suggest consulting your vet prior!

    How about grass, walnut, bamboo, or hemp litters? :) My husband and I are thinking of adopting a cat and I started researching litter a few days ago. :) I totally fell down the rabbit hole lol. I know I don't want to use clay litter, and I'm leaning away from using either corn or wheat litter, since I know that grain can be a problem for cats. I know it's litter, not food, but since there's plenty of other natural options out there, I figure corn and wheat-based litters will be easy to avoid while still leaving me with plenty of good, natural litter choices. :) Our dogs don't eat anything with corn or wheat, so I'm also trying to keep them away from corn or wheat-based cat litters. :)

      Go for wooden pellets, easy to clean, very absorbent, least tracking, flushable if cleaned regularly, keep cleaning the dust as suggested in the video, any dust (bio/non bio) can cause respiratory issues
      Also Separate the litter from box and wash/de-infect the same

    • @tuftandpaw
      @tuftandpaw  9 місяців тому

      You'll want to look for something that's dust-free. Pellets, like tofu or paper, might also be a good idea because they're a bit larger and less likely to mess with the incision area.

    I personally don't use any of these :D I use Cat's Best Original litter, which is wood based clumping cat litter. It dusts a little and tracks a little, but a mat is enough to keep the tracking minimal. It has a woody scent to it, mut it keeps smells away and has a texture me and my cats like. I tried clay litter once and would personally never use it again :D
    But yeah. The litter I use is also eco friendly! Not an ad, but a recommendation for those who are looking for affordable cat litter. I buy it for 36€ for 40litres, so it's very good for my budget too ^^

    It seems to me from this video that pine pellets are the best if your cat will use them - none of the drawbacks listed are about the performance of the litter, just about the cat not tolerating it.

      Our pellets are made primarily from soybean fiber. These pellets are also lighter and softer in comparison to traditional pellets, making it easier on your kitty’s toebeans. 🐾

      Clay litter is horrible for the environment and can also be the same for cats. It has been a widely known fact for some time now. But sure, go into denial just so you can pick the cheapest, worst thing for your cats. I bet you're also the type of person who uses plastic bowls for your pets just because they are cheap. 🤦‍♀️
