Taking care of your cat’s litter box doesn’t have to be such a chore. I wanted to try PrettyLitter because my traditional litter is heavy, difficult to clean, and introduces so much dust into the home. It’s a roll of the dice whether the clay litter brand I chose actually helps with odor, and no matter how much I love my cat, I don’t want the smell of their litter box wafting through the air.
After seeing an ad I tried PrettyLitter, which helps cat parents keep tabs on their pet’s health in addition to being an effective cat litter. When cats use PrettyLitter, the silica gel reacts to their urine and shows changes in acidity, alkalinity, and the presence of blood so pet parents can get their cat to the vet before urinary medical issues progress. And yes, there are plenty of videos online of the color change. (opens in a new window)
The Pros
- The crystal litter dehydrates my cat’s waste so moisture is absorbed and you only scoop the (very dehydrated) poop. All it needs is a stir daily so the crystals can aerate.
- The litter gets changed monthly and doesn’t need any top-offs. Each bag of litter lasts one cat one month and then all gets discarded and replaced. No chiseling out clumps! The whole bin pours easily out of the litter box so cleaning is quick and painless.
- It helps you keep tabs on my cat’s health! This is by far the coolest feature of this product. Every time my little bundle of fluff urinates I’m able to learn more about their internal health. Knowing more about your cat’s health brings more peace of mind than anticipated and feels like a proactive step in their care.
The Cons
- It is more expensive than the cheap litters. However, other litters don’t last as long and need fairly consistent top-offs so it could be a moneysaver or break-even in the future. It’s also delivered free, which does save gas money, time, and the pain of lifting heavy bags.
Crystal Litter??
So you might be wondering, what is silica gel cat litter? Well, here is the science, Silica gel is a super absorbent and inert form of silicon dioxide, a material found abundantly in nature. The type of silica gel that makes up PrettyLitter, amorphous silica gel, has been widely used for decades in industries including food and pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and household supplies.
Even though the granules look solid, silica gel cat litter is actually filled with a network of small hollow channels that immediately absorb moisture as they come in contact with liquid. The liquid or moisture is trapped inside, thus leaving the outer layer dry to the touch.
Once absorbed, the moisture will begin to evaporate, leaving the odor-causing molecules trapped within the inner channels. The absorbency capability of the beads is continuous, so PrettyLitter can work for up to a month for one cat.
Final Thoughts👏
I tried it and I love it. I couldn’t smell the litter box at all, it was delivered to my doorstep, and it was super easy to clean! I’m never going back to my dusty, old litter.
