What’s Really in Your Litter Bag—and Why It Matters
You toss a bag of litter into your cart like it’s no big deal. It’s cat litter. Simple, right?
Wrong.
Most people don’t give a second thought to what’s in their litter until something goes wrong—like a mysterious smell that won’t go away, clouds of dust every time your cat digs, or little granules stuck in places you didn’t know existed.
Sound familiar?
The truth is, what’s in that bag of litter matters more than you think. It touches your cat’s paws. It lingers in your home’s air. It winds up in your trash—or maybe even your plumbing. And if you’re not paying attention, you might be using something that’s not just ineffective, but harmful to your pet and the environment.
So let’s dig deep (pun intended) into what should and shouldn’t be in that bag, plus the surprising extras—like treats and flea hacks—that complete a cleaner, smarter cat care routine.
Fresh Cat Litter: More Than Just a Pretty Scent
Let’s start with the basics. What does fresh cat litter really mean?
If you think it means “smells like lavender and chemicals,” we need to talk.
Many litters labeled “fresh” rely on synthetic fragrances. Strong ones. They don’t actually clean or neutralize anything—they just overpower it with perfume. And here’s the catch: your cat hates it. Their noses are way more sensitive than yours. So while you’re trying to make the room smell better, your cat is plotting their next protest… usually outside the box.
