Natural Cat Litter Head To Head With Tidy Litter
Let’s take a look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of natural cat litters and Tidy Litter.
Beginning with Tidy Litter:
- It’s convenient and easy to purchase
- It’s quite heavy to carry, which means you’ve to be careful you don’t hurt your back
- It’s not a green, planet-friendly product, and it’s not biodegradable either
- It can expand to 15 times its original size, making it’s harder to dispose of
- Over the course of time, it piles up into billions of pounds of non-degradable waste
- It will track throughout your home, especially as it’s not silica dust-free
- There is nothing in this product to control the urine odors
- It does not have a soft texture, so it will be harder on your cat’s feet
- It’s not very well suited to multiple cat households
- It contains toxic ingredients, so you have to be make sure that your cat (or any other pet) doesn’t consume it
- It doesn’t last very long, so you will need to make frequent visits to the stores to buy more

- They consequently don’t accumulate into billions of pounds of non-degradable waste, choking the landfill sites
- They are silica dust-free and no or low tracking as well
- They have great urine control properties
- They have a soft texture, making them easy on your cat’s or kitten’s feet
- They work really well for multiple cat households
- They are non-toxic, even if ingested
- They will last longer, necessitating fewer trips to the stores
