It’s quite difficult for a new pet owner to decide which one is right for their pet. If you’re in this boat, try not to worry too much. Finding the right cat litter is often a matter of trial and error. That said, there is a lot of good information online. I encourage you to read a few reviews and give some different products a go. It won’t be too long before you find one that works for both you and your cat.

Now, one of the most famous brands you’ll come across is World’s Best Cat Litter. It’s available at Amazon and makes several claims. If you believe the hype, this stuff is odorless, clumps quick and easy to scoop. It’s also long lasting and good for the environment. In this article, I’ll shed some light on these claims. In order to keep this review simple, I’ve broken up the following text into two different sections – Pros and Cons.

The Benefits Of World’s Best Cat Litter

Overall, I think this is a great product. It’s made of corn and is very easy on the environment. This, naturally, means that it’s also good for your pet and the air in your home. Typical clay based cat litters generally can’t make these claims. When a cat finishes with their business, they’ll often kick their legs. Clay based litters often create mini dust storms. Some of these particles end up in the air – for your whole family to breath. For more information, read this article about how to choose the best dust free cat litter.

I also like this litter because the chunks are nice and big. It works very well with a self scooping or automatic cat litter box. I have the Littermaid self cleaning box, and World’s Best works wonderfully with it.

The Downfalls Of World’s Best Cat Litter

This litter isn’t quite perfect though. It claims to be odor free but I don’t really buy this. Some users, including myself, often smell wifts of vinegar coming from the cats living quarters. Keep in mind that every cat is different though. This could be something related to diet and not the litter at all.

Another buzz word around the cat industry these days is “track free”. This essentially means that a litter won’t easily find it’s way out of the litter box and on to your nice hardwood floor. The World’s Best litter tends to stick to my cat’s feet. I’ve found little kernels of corn 3 or 4 rooms away from the litter box! This is simply due to the fact that the corn doesn’t clump as well as clay litters.

In Conclusion…

This is a great litter for most. As I mentioned off the top, it may not be for everyone. If your cat doesn’t track a lot of litter out of his box and his urine isn’t particularly stinky, give this a go. You won’t regret it!

Anyone who owns a cat knows that the little guys do their absolute best to keep themselves and their environment clean at all times.  As cat owners, we can help out our pets by getting them a dust free cat litter.  There are a few reasons for this.  Cats tend to kick up quite a storm after finishing their business.  If the kitty litter you use is a dusty one, chances are you’ll be breathing all sorts of allergens whenever you’re around the litter box.  This, alone, is a good enough reason to switch kitty litters.  Open any health magazine these days and you’ll see at least a couple articles about the importance of indoor air quality.  Your cat will also appreciate a dust free clumping cat litter.  Low quality litters tend to stick to your cat’s feet, annoying him or her to no end!

Now, with so many different kitty litters available, it’s tough to know which one right for your pet.

One of the best dust free cat litter products on the market is the Swheat Scoop Natural Wheat Litter.  This stuff, as you’d expect, is actually made from wheat!  It’s completely biodegradable and can even be flushed down the toilet.  This isn’t the case with a typical clay based litter.  This product is also completely dust free so your home will benefit here as well.

Another product you may want to consider is Dr. Elsey’s Precious Cat Ultra litter.  This clumping cat litter is of the clay variety.  Because of this, it can’t be flushed down the toilet.  Some folks don’t mind throwing out their litter with the trash though.  This is, after all, what cat owners had to do for years before the whole “green” movement started.  I like the Dr. Elsey’s litter because the little chunks of litter aren’t that little at all.  Because of this, the litter clumps very well and also ensures that the bottom of your cat’s box remains dry.  Like the Swheat product discussed above, this litter is unscented and dust free.

Arm And Hammer also makes a dust free clumping cat litter.  This product is, as one would expect, made out of baking soda.  Baking soda is known for it’s odor killing properties and this is great for a cat litter.  This product is scented and some people don’t like that.  I’ve used this litter before and never really been bothered by the smell though.  I guess some folks have more sensitive noses than others.  Because this cat litter is made of baking soda, flushing it down the toilet isn’t recommended.

The best dust free cat litter really is dependent on what you’re looking for.  Read a few reviews, check out a few websites and try some products.  It won’t be long before you find something that works for you and your cat.
