Can cat litter be changed to a different brand?

Cat litter can be changed to a different brand, and there is no additional unnecessary process involved in the switch. However, not all brands of cat litter will be liked by cats. Before changing the brand, you can first choose the cat litter that your cat likes the most, and then select the brand that suits your cat based on the type of cat litter. Instead of buying randomly, choose the brand that suits your cat's preferences.

The most common types of cat litter on the market include bentonite cat litter,豆腐猫砂,wood cat litter, and crystal cat litter.

Bentonite cat litter is the most commonly used and cheapest cat litter. It has excellent water absorption but only average odor masking ability. Because of its light texture and small particles, it is easily tracked out of the litter box by a cat's toes and even eaten while licking its fur. When using bentonite cat litter, be sure to clean the litter box every day and replace all the litter at least once every week.

Tofu cat litter is the second most popular type of cat litter, slightly more expensive than bentonite cat litter but still economical. Because tofu cat litter dissolves in water, it can be directly flushed into the toilet, making it more convenient.

Wood cat litter is made of compressed wood and has a certain ability to mask odors. However, its water absorption is poor, it cannot be flushed into the toilet, and it is more expensive than the previous two types, so fewer people use it, and its cost-performance is not high.

Crystal cat litter is a type of silica cat litter with excellent water absorption. However, because urine is directly absorbed by crystal cat litter, it is difficult to clean. After a few days of use, the white crystal cat litter turns yellow, and a peculiar smell may occur.

Each type of cat litter has its pros and cons. You can choose to mix different types of cat litter when selecting. The most common mixed cat litter is bentonite cat litter mixed with tofu cat litter.
