For the past few months Cody and I have been testing a number of different brands of cat litter on our continuing quest to see which litter is the best for OUR needs.
As we test different brands of cat litter, we are sharing our thoughts with you. It is important to know that when we share our thoughts it is based on OUR experience. YOUR experience with a cat litter might be totally different than ours. Cats are unique, in our opinion, there is not one litter that is "one size type fits all!" As a result, we have been sharing facts about each litter and are aware that our readers are capable of making their own decisions when deciding what litter is best for their cat(s).
Cody and I make it a point to ONLY feature products that we either WOULD use, or that we feel would be beneficial and of interest to our readers. Compensation for a post does NOT influence our opinions.

ökocat Natural Cat Litter by Healthy Pet
ökocat is a natural choice for cat lovers who seek the best in a high
performance, eco-friendly litter for their furry family members.
From Healthy Pet:Not all cat litters are created equal. When Healthy Pet
set out to
understand what makes the best cat litter, their studies revealed that it’s
all in the material.
Healthy Pet discovered that litter made from natural fibers offer the best of both performance and
eco-friendly properties. Cellulose fibers from wood and paper are naturally
absorbent (up to 500% its weight in liquid), while wood also offers added
antibacterial properties to aid in superior 7-day odor control. These
materials also create little to no dust, making an ideal option for
households with allergies or respiratory issues. Naturally lightweight,
wood and paper litter is convenient to carry and pour.
Cellulose fibers make up ökocat’s line of natural cat litters, further enhanced with unique
performance innovations.

ökocat Natural Wood Clumping Litter
 |
| Natural Wood Clumping Litter |
This
best-in-class, fast and firm clumping litter in soft, ground pellets delivers
high performance, 7-day odor control, and unsurpassed absorption, able to hold
500% its weight in liquid. Made from natural wood material, this litter offers
the added benefits of inhibiting the growth of bacteria and convenient,
flushable disposal. Natural Wood Clump Litter is available in 3 sizes: S (7.5
lb, $8.99), M (12 lb, SRP $13.99) and L (18 lb, SRP $19.99).
The Natural Wood Clumping Litter is the litter that Cody and I tested. We would like to be completely candid and tell you that when we tested this litter, we had mixed it with another brand, therefore, our experience with this litter is possibly NOT an accurate assessment. We received one box of litter to test, I always mix new litter with old, (which is ALWAYS recommended) before I switch completely over to a new litter. Since I only had one box, I was not able to test this litter completely independent of any other litter mixed with it.
PROS:
Yes the pellets delivered "high performance in 7 day odor control"
It DID absorb extremely well.
It is completely dust-free.
No paw prints were left on the furniture
CONS:
When scooping, the pellets felt heavy and stuck to the litter scooper.
It was difficult to get the litter off of the scooper.
It was difficult to get the litter off of the scooper.
The litter left a trail on Cody's litter mat, and since the pellets are larger, they were far more noticeable than normal tracked litter
