Did you know that every year in the United States, over two million tons of clay are strip-mined just to make cat litter?
Did you know that every year in the United States, over two million tons of clay are strip-mined just to make cat litter? Strip mining carves up the earth and destroys natural habitats for birds, insects, and other animals. Besides being among the least Earth-friendly litters you can buy, clay cat litter also has more potential to physically harm both you and your cat. It's notoriously dusty—dustier than any other litter on the market. And that dust isn't just a nuisance. Breathing crystalline silica dust could cause serious respiratory problems.
Don't get me wrong. Clay litter works really, really well. It has a long-standing reputation for quality and probably won't make your cat sick. We've relied on clay litter for years and recommend it as the most reliable type of litter you can use.
But when sustainability comes into question, plant-based cat litter wins out. Plant-based alternative cat litters are an earth-friendly choice and a few are just as effective as clay litter.
Corn litter is one of the most effective, popular, and affordable types of plant-based cat litter you can buy. In our latest article, we talk about the qualities of a great corn litter and review our top 5 recommendations. Our list includes crowd favorites and lesser-known gems from across the price spectrum.
Corn cat litter is a popular natural cat litter that's biodegradable, made from plants, and is less dusty than clay cat litter. It's one of the most popular plant-based litters based on its excellent clumping ability and odor control.
Let's learn more about corn-based cat litter before we dive into our list of the five most highly-rated corn cat litters on the market...Read More.
