The Simple Buying Guide

Cats have simple requirements. Litter that absorbs moisture, allows digging, and doesn't overwhelm their senses. That's it. Everything else is marketing. Learn why simple solutions work best.

• Absorbs moisture quickly
• Allows natural digging behavior
• Unscented or very lightly scented
• Texture similar to sand or soil
• Low dust for respiratory health

Clumping litters form solid masses around moisture, making daily maintenance easier. You scoop the clumps, leave the clean litter. Most cat owners prefer this for convenience.

Non-clumping absorbs moisture throughout and needs complete changing more frequently. Some cats prefer the texture, and it's often recommended post-surgery.

The simple rule: Start with clumping. If your cat avoids it, try non-clumping. See clumping litter options.

More cats means more attention to litter, but the principles stay simple. Purrify Family Packs are designed for multi-cat homes.

• One box per cat, plus one extra
• Scoop at least once daily (twice is better)
• Spread boxes throughout your home
• Use litter with strong natural odor control
• Consider buying in bulk for better value

Cats can be particular. Don't switch all at once. The gradual approach works best. Read our transition FAQs.

• Week 1: Mix 25% new litter with 75% old
• Week 2: Move to 50/50 mix
• Week 3: Increase to 75% new
• Week 4: Complete the switch

If your cat shows avoidance at any stage, slow down. Some cats need longer to adjust. That's normal. Contact us for personalized help.

For step-by-step transition support, compare recommendations from the Cornell Feline Health Center and ASPCA cat care resources.

Keep it simple and consistent. Your cat will thank you. Learn how Purrify makes maintenance easier.
