Why it matters
SmartCat is made from 100% grass seed grown in the USA, so it's biodegradable and renewable. It's unscented and controls odor without harsh chemicals or artificial scents, and SmartCat says it's 99% dust-free.
Its soft, sand-like texture suits kittens and cats that are particular about their paws, and clumps don't stick to the pan.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Picky cats
- Kittens
- Self-cleaning boxes that take clumping litter
Look elsewhere if
- Crystal-tray boxes
- Owners who need the hardest clumps
- Very high-output cats (can soften)
Pros and cons
Pros
- Soft texture
- Unscented
- Biodegradable
Cons
- Lighter clumps
- Can track
- Premium price
Limitations to weigh
- In a self-cleaning box, use it only where the box's maker accepts clumping litter; most globe and open-top boxes do, crystal-tray boxes don't.
- Switch litters gradually by mixing in the new one over about a week; abrupt changes can put cats off the box.
- Store sealed and dry.
