Use a clumping, unscented litter for easy cleanup. Avoid heavily scented litters, which can irritate their sensitive skin.
Here’s a summary of the best types of litter for Sphynx cats:
| Litter Type | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Clumping Clay Litter | Easy to scoop, highly absorbent, and controls odors well. Recommended brands include Dr. Elsey’s Precious Cat Ultra. |
| Silica Gel Crystal Litter | Excellent odor control and low dust. Absorbs moisture without clumping. Ideal for Sphynx cats sensitive to dust. Brands to consider: Fresh Step Crystals. |
| Unscented Litter | Reduces the risk of skin irritation and respiratory issues, as Sphynx cats have sensitive skin. Choose unscented versions to avoid potential allergies. |
| Non-Clumping Litter (for Kittens) | Safe for young Sphynx kittens, reducing the risk of ingestion. A good temporary option during initial litter training stages. Consider Yesterday’s News or other pellet-based non-clumping litters. |
| Low Dust Litter | Helps reduce respiratory irritation, as some Sphynx cats can be sensitive to dust. Look for “low dust” labels on clumping or crystal litters. |
| Natural Litters (Pine, Corn, or Wheat) | Eco-friendly and biodegradable options. Suitable for Sphynx cats with sensitive skin. Brands include World’s Best Cat Litter (corn-based) and Feline Pine. |
