Crystal cat litter is also called silica gel cat litter. It is a new type of cat litter. Compared with traditional cat litter, crystal cat litter is loved by many poop scavengers in terms of efficacy and appearance. However, many poop scavengers are... After using crystal cat litter, I feel that crystal cat litter is very wasteful to use, which results in "cheap to buy but expensive to use".
In fact, the ingredients of crystal cat litter and desiccant are the same, which is the common silica gel desiccant on the market, so crystal cat litter has very good water absorption. Because it has the same ingredients as the desiccant, crystal cat litter also has the characteristics of the desiccant: strong adsorption capacity and good deodorization. It can absorb the odor in cat urine and feces, prevent the odor from dispersing, and keep the air in the room fresh.
Crystal cat litter has very little dust, unlike traditional cat litter which has a lot of dust, so you don’t have to worry about the cat litter having an adverse effect on the cat’s respiratory tract. Because crystal cat litter does not clump, it will change color only when it encounters liquid. Cat's poop needs to be cleaned up in time. Don't leave the cat's poop alone just because crystal cat litter has strong odor absorption ability. Usually after 80% of the cat litter in the cat litter box changes color, you should consider replacing the cat litter.

Usually a 3.6L bag of crystal cat litter is enough for one cat to use for a month. So for two cats, it’s about 15 days, and for three cats, it’s about 10 days. After absorbing the saturated cat litter, shovel it out of the cat litter box in time.
One thing that scavengers need to pay attention to is that because the ingredients of non clumping crystal cat litter are the same as those of desiccant, the cat litter box must be placed in a dry and ventilated place, otherwise the crystal cat litter will also absorb moisture in the air. This greatly shortens the use time of cat litter. So don’t complain that crystal cat litter is wasted. If you use the right method, you can find that you can save half of it.
