Lightweight Cat Litter
Lifting a container of regular cat litter can replace arm day at the gym. Litter is notoriously heavy and can be cumbersome to get home from the store. If this sounds familiar, consider choosing lightweight cat litter for the solution. For many pet parents, lightweight options are the best cat litter for their needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Lightweight cat litter is typically made from clay, just like traditional litter. The primary difference is that lightweight litter blends clay with less dense substances like perlite. The resulting combination can be up to 50% lighter than traditional clay litter.
Not only is light cat litter easier to lift and distribute to a litter box, but it makes cat cleaning and waste disposal much less daunting. When you change out your entire litter supply periodically, the bag of dirty litter will be lighter.
-
While lightweight litter is very convenient in many ways, it may also track more. The lower weight makes it easier for the litter to stick to your cat’s little paws. Thankfully, with the right cat litter box supplies—like cat litter box mats—you can solve this problem and prevent the mess from spreading.
-
There are dust-free cat litter options that are also lightweight. Dust-free or low dust litter is often produced using materials other than clay, including plant materials. Some crystal litters are also dust-free. Clay litter that is low dust often has a tighter clump that stops dust from leaving the litter box.
-
Yes, you can find a lightweight litter that clumps when your cat goes to the bathroom. Clumping makes it easier to scoop a dirty litter box and may also reduce dust. Clumping litter can often lock in odor to keep your litter from stinking up the room—even without using a scented clay or crystal.
-
Light litter should still be scooped daily. You can get rid of big clumps and feces with a regular scooper and pet waste bags. Every several weeks you will want to dump all of the litter out and refresh it with brand new litter and a new liner. If you have multiple cats using the same litter box, you may need to change your lightweight litter more often than that.
Pet parents don’t have to do too much in terms of cat grooming and bathing. Most cats will bathe themselves and clean up any litter or urine from themselves. Some cats, including senior pets, may need help. In addition to considering professional grooming for your cat, keeping a super tidy litter box helps them stay clean at all times.

I have been using Tidy Cats Lightweight litter for my now 14 yr old cat, for a couple of years. For the last couple of months the litter seems to stick to her feet, legs and tail so consequently appears all over the house. I have been using the 24/7 variety. Would another variety of their lightweight litter be less prone to this problem?
Adopted 3mo kitten use to paper pellet litter. Always uses litter box. I'm trying to find non dusty, I live in single wide trailer, clumping and unscented. What do you suggest I try?
Hi, I find myself having to vaccum the entire appartment twice a day because of my cat's litter spreading everywhere as soon as she does her business and exits the litter box. This is too much maintinance especially when I only have one cat. I have a litter matt and a big closed litter box to minimise spread of litter but still this happens everyday. As a result, would you be able to recommend the best no-tracking/low-tracking litter for my cat?
I had great advice from your side for my allergic cat,who now has skin problems that might be from his litter,(he doesn't have flees or other problems,only allergy),but the litter I used is now not available,it's produced specially for one place that now don't have it,i've red for Tigerino nuggies litter that is most similar to mine,I use only small granulated pure clay,but the new one is only with aroma,is it safe to use aromatic litter for sensitive cat,or any advice for safe litter,thank you
I have 2 older kitties. One is 18, has had 2 strokes over the summer and he is blind. He has issues with his balance now and with getting in and out of the litter box, therefore when he gets in the litter box he tends to pee right there, then immediately turns around and gets his paws in it and it clumps in his paws. I constantly scoop after both cats because of this, but it is an issue for him when no one is here to clean it off right away, and it hardens in his paws, what pellet can we use?
What are good brands or types of litter that I can use? I use arm and hammer slide and my cat loves it, but it was gone the last time so i got another brand and my cat scoots her but butt. I need a brand that is an alternative for times when my primary type of litter isn't in store.
