The easiest solution is to add baking soda—which is non-toxic and safe for cats—or a litter box deodorizer. Absorbency: Paper cat litter is going to be more absorbent than standard clay litter. Typically paper litter is about 3X more absorbent than traditional litters. Clumping: Clumping paper litters are rare, so you’ll have a harder time finding one, but it will make scooping easier.
