VanCat W225 Premium Cat Litter (Unscented)

Product Information

We saturated a set amount of cat litter with water, and then drained it through a sieve and re-weighed the water to see how much had been absorbed by the cat litter. Good cat litter helps keep odors at bay, but don’t expect a box of litter to take over your job. We’ve found that the best odor control comes from great clumping and regular cleaning.

This depends on which cat litter you buy, which is usually a choice between clumping or non-clumping cat litter. Clumping cat litter vs non-clumpingClump & Seal Multi-Cat is technically scented, but it's very faint—the Arm & Hammer litter smells mildly like baking soda, with a floral, fresh laundry overtone that's hardly noticeable unless your nose is right on top of it. Still, while it's not noticeably or heavily scented, it is effective at covering up odors, even when we left the box un-scooped for a few days (sorry Wally!).

But if you don’t have time to lay next to your cat all day, there are a few other things you can do to keep him warm. Cats tend to enjoy it outdoors as well since there is more to look at and they have room to stretch out. So lay out your cat’s favorite blanket and let them relax under the trees.

How best to use the product?

Most litter should then just be disposed of in the trash. Some brands, like Garfield Cat Litter, can be flushed directly down the toilet in small amounts since it's biodegradable, but keep in mind that many municipal waste system and septic systems are not suited to handle cat waste. Non-biodegradable litter should never be flushed. Cool your cat, not your van: When you need to run into the store or can’t allow your cat out for whatever reason, then focus on cooling the cat, not the van.

The most head-spinning part of the cat litter marketplace may be the natural and organic department. These products are made from a range of organic and recycled materials including wheat, wood, grass, paper, tofu, and more. While they may be eco-friendlier than many traditional cat litters, they come at a price and might not offer equal performance. Fresh from the resealable bag, PrettyLitter Cat Litter resembles sand on a pristine beach. The lightweight litter is made from absorbent silica gel which works differently than traditional clay-based litter. The crystals absorb liquids and odors, so regular scooping of pee clumps isn't required, but daily stirring is recommended. Once you notice that the litter isn't as efficient with absorbing liquid, it's time to fully change the box (every two to four weeks for most). For poop, the crystals clump around, covering the odor and making it easy to scoop out for disposal in the trash. There’s going to be a lot of new adventures in store for your furry friend and a new event might cause them to wander. If you have a bigger budget consider spray foam or wool insulation for the most effective solution. Our choice for Best Overall is Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal Multi-Cat Litter. The clay cat litter clumps together for scooping, minimizes odors, and has a texture that agrees with most cats. If you prefer a crystal litter that absorbs urine instead of clumping it together, our choice for Best Crystals, PrettyLitter Cat Litter, makes it easy to scoop poop, masks detectable odors, and helps you easily monitor your cat's urinary tract health. What to Look for in Cat Litter Material: Clay, Crystals, and Biodegradable Matter

Non-clumping cat litter is made from silica gel or other materials and remains in its loose state both before and after use. When moisture hits the litter, it is simply absorbed and the smell bound. Non-clumping litter can absorb large amounts of liquid and doesn’t require you to remove clumps every day. No matter whether you choose silica gel, hygienic litter or any other non-clumping variety, here at zooplus you are bound to find a suitable option! Cats come with their own set of challenges that van life dog owners don’t have to worry about. Litter boxes, less public acceptance, and their adventurous spirit just to name a few. You don’t want van life to be your cat’s first trip in the car. Try some smaller vacations like weekend trips and even longer car rides to help them get used to the feeling of a moving vehicle. This will keep the smell down and also make it easier to pour in proper proportions. Food and water bowls For its strong odor control and hard-clumping ability, Ever Clean is an attractive option if you’re willing to spend a little more. Rather than relying on synthetic fragrance, this formula harnesses the superior absorbency of sodium bentonite clay to reduce odor in the litter box. It offers some of the best odor control I’ve experienced in a cat litter product.

It’s important that your cat has a safe space to do their duty. Many cats become territorial creatures over their litter box so you want to find a permanent space where it won’t be moved around. Make the trip a positive thing by giving your cat treats along the way and special walks as you harness train. Leash Training Your Cat For Van Life There’s also the risk of inhaling crystalline silica dust to consider, though the amount of dust produced by a good cat litter generally isn’t significant enough to cause serious health issues. Crystal cat litter is nothing new but PrettyLitter takes it up a notch with the addition of pH-detecting particles. When exposed to urine, these particles change color to indicate the approximate pH of your cat’s urine. Changes in the acidity of your cat’s urine can be an early indicator for a number of health problems including struvite crystals, urinary tract infections, and kidney tubular acidosis. Products like Waggle are designed to send text alerts to your phone when the temperature or humidity gets dangerously hot (or cold).To help you find the purrfect cat litter, we tested 24 litter products from a variety of brands, including clumping clay, absorbent crystals, and biodegradable pellets. Each litter is tested with real cats and kittens, while their human counterparts gathered insights on how the litter performed.
