Well, I\u2019d be exaggerating, but you can definitely do it far less if you just take a few easy steps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most cat parents don\u2019t want to think about it, but when your cat is tracking litter around your house, what they\u2019re really tracking around is their waste. That\u2019s right. Tiny bits of urine and feces speckled all over your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not all that fun of a concept to ponder on, but you\u2019ve landed here because that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019re thinking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like I\u2019ve mentioned, you won\u2019t ever get rid of 100% of the tracked litter around your home, but a quality cat litter can help the problem tenfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve gotten so many questions pertaining to the <strong>best cat litter that doesn\u2019t stick to paws<\/strong> that we decided to investigate it. The question comes from all walks of cat-parent life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents (of human babies, not cats) with young children or children with underlying conditions, people with carpet in their home, people whose cats like to \u201cdig to China\u201d in their box, and loads of other cat-owner archetypes all want to know the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What litter sticks to cats\u2019 paws\u2026the least?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After eight hours indulging in another one of our passion projects, we\u2019ve come to the conclusion that <a style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2xpnp8R\"

id=\"tab-con-6\">Why You Should Trust Our Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The magic number eight is the amount of hours Cat Kingpin staff spent researching litter products (not to mention the additional 4 hours it took to write this). There are a variety of ways that we go about researching products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge part of our time is spent on analyzing products\u2019 description as thoroughly as possible. Knowing what\u2019s in a certain item is crucial because companies are able to put things on labels that are somewhat misleading, and sometimes they utilize that ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Checking deeply is the best defense against marketing gurus. Those folks are brilliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s only one of the ways we conduct our analysis. Read on to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-7\">What Features Did We Look For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use critical thinking to decide what is important about the product being recommended.&nbsp; Then, list out 4-8 features that people need to consider prior to purchasing the product being reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Clumping &#8211; <\/strong>Clumping litter is a type of litter that adheres to moisture. Due to certain ingredients it has, the litter adheres to any moisture (i.e. your cat\u2019s waste) and forms an actual clump-like ball. The idea is to contain kitty\u2019s waste within that little clump, helping keep the rest of the litter without moisture safe from contamination.Confession: now, when you\u2019re using the bathroom in a box of sand, so to speak, there will be cross-contamination from the dirty litter to the clean litter no matter how well it clumps. But, it\u2019s a fairly small amount and shouldn\u2019t be looked at as a con for clumping litters.The essential purpose of clumping litter is to keep your litter box cleaner. You can wait a bit longer to empty out and clean the litter box itself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Non-clumping &#8211;<\/strong> It\u2019s what it sounds like. Opposite of its counterpart, clumping litter, this litter doesn\u2019t clump (adhere to moisture). It\u2019s generally preferred for containing odor since it can absorb more moisture.As you can probably guess, the moisture does collect at the bottom of this type of litter a lot more than it does with non-clumping litter. So, you\u2019ll have to clean your box more often.Most of the time, which kind (clumping or non-clumping) of litter you choose is based upon your cat\u2019s preference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What is it made of?<\/strong> &#8211; Cat litter can be made from tons of different things. For example, clay, wood, paper, citrus, grass, corn, and grain are all possible materials that cat litter can be made from.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Price &#8211; <\/strong>Litter has to be changed regularly, which means you\u2019ll be purchasing litter regularly as well. You probably don\u2019t want to be paying massive amounts of money for your litter!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-2\">Who Is This Cat Litter For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This list is for cat owners who want to reduce the amount of litter that their cat tracks around as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes parents of young children, parents of children with asthma or other conditions, people who have elderly or sickly people residing with them, people who have carpet or porous flooring, and literally anyone else having trouble with their cat\u2019s litter getting tracked around the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t for cat owners whose cats kick litter out of the box. Your solution can be found <a style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/catkingpin.com\/best-litter-box-for-cats-that-kick-litter\/\"><strong>here<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually we write content of Best X for Y.&nbsp; Meaning, most articles have a specific audience that would really like to review them.&nbsp; Talk about who the product is for and who may not want the product as well. Make sure to mention who it IS for and who it ISN\u2019T for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-4\">How \u200bWe Choose \u200bOur \u200bProducts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were tuned in earlier in the article, you\u2019ve heard a little bit about how we make decisions on the products that we recommend. You learned that studying what\u2019s put into a product is one of our first go-to\u2019s when researching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we can get to that part though, we have to find the items! That\u2019s done both online and in-store usually, but since it is the age of quarantining, we\u2019re keeping our shopping to online, and we hope you\u2019re doing the same if possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online shopping offers one other huge advantage: tons of reviews! Those are invaluable to us because there\u2019s no better way to find out the dirty details of a product. Often, there are a lot of reviews. We take the time to read each one because, truly, they\u2019re that valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying to understand the most common problems that encourage cat owners to begin the search for trackless litter gave us great insight into anticipating your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this area we add to the credibility of how we choose the products in the review.&nbsp; It\u2019s okay to refer back to what was said earlier in the past. Explain how we looked at multiple websites (name the websites) and places to find the best products.&nbsp; Mention how we also look over as many reviews as we could. Further explain how the CK staff really gets into details with products they review and that we do a thorough analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-12\"><span style=\"background-color: #1e73be;\"> <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Our Top Choice<\/strong><\/span> <\/span> &#8211; Fresh Step Scented Clean Paws Triple Action Clumping Litter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07B42B3RN\/ref=as_li_ss_il?coliid=IUDS32J2NY24Q&amp;colid=1ILKZOVIEFAM3&amp;psc=0&amp;ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it_im&amp;linkCode=li3&amp;tag=catkingpin-20&amp;linkId=825558d47cc2a0f62cea4ce2b3a705d0&amp;language=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B07B42B3RN&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=catkingpin-20&amp;language=en_US\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u200b+<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u200bPros<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Designed for low tracking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inhibits bacteria<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reward program<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mostly dust-free<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u200b-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u200bCons<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Costlier than others<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cements if left long<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unique fragrance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2xpnp8R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fresh Step Scented Clean Paws Triple Action<\/a><\/strong> Clumping Litter is our top choice because it\u2019s specifically designed to reduce litter tracking out of the litter box.

It\u2019s not quite as low dust as it claims to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-13\">Other Choice: SmartCat All Natural Clumping Litter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SmartCat-Natural-Clumping-Litter-20-Pound\/dp\/B00P0H6836\/ref=as_li_ss_il?crid=1582L1BO25P74&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=smart+cat+all+natural+clumping+litter&amp;qid=1586642869&amp;s=pet-supplies&amp;sprefix=smart+cat+all+,pets,206&amp;sr=1-4&amp;linkCode=li3&amp;tag=catkingpin-20&amp;linkId=e08028cf183e90570c8c3d0345b34190&amp;language=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B00P0H6836&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=catkingpin-20&amp;language=en_US\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u200b+<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u200bPros<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>All natural<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Light<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100% grass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u200b-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u200bCons<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Quality inconsistencies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attracts critters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cats may find it tasty!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely a favorite of customers, <strong><a style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2XureUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SmartCat All Natural Clumping Litter<\/a><\/strong> is made completely of grass, which means it\u2019s all natural. Grass is not heavy, so this litter is super light!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers found differences in quality of the litter depending on where they bought it, so keep that in mind. Since it\u2019s grass, it does have the potential to attract critters more than others might! Keep it in a secure spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-11\">Care and Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to litter and litter boxes, regular maintenance is vital for cleanliness and good health for both you and your cat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, it\u2019s customary to scoop cat waste out of your litter box at least once per day and completely empty and clean your litter box once per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each litter may have different recommendations or requirements, so be sure to follow those! And, if you know that you\u2019re one of those people who need to clean your litter box more often than usual for whatever reason, keep on doing so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No litter will function the way you want it to if it\u2019s too saturated and too filthy. Plus, your cat deserves a nice, clean box to use the bathroom in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-8\">\u200bAnswers to Common Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Should I get clumping or non-clumping litter?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That depends on you. Most people make their choice on this matter based on their cat\u2019s preferences. They will definitely let you know if they have a problem with the litter you\u2019re using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are significant pros and cons to both types of litter, and without looking deeply into each, you may have trouble making the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is conflicting information as to which type of litter is best to reduce litter tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does it matter what the litter is made of?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Only if it does to you! Some cat owners are particular about using litter with synthesized chemicals in it and opt for a more naturally made litter. Others have or their family has allergies or sensitivities to certain things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why doesn\u2019t everyone use crystals or pellets if they\u2019re so good at keeping off of cat paws?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the same reason everyone doesn\u2019t drive a Volvo just because it\u2019s supposedly the safest car on the road. One size doesn\u2019t fit all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find the same to be true for even the most <em>loved, adored, and coveted<\/em> products. For every 99 people who would give their last dollar for an item, one person would rather go without than use that item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the beauty of having so many options today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What else can I do to help reduce litter tracking?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t gotten yourself a mat to put outside of your cat\u2019s litter box, that would definitely be the best next step to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throw a towel down there for now until your mat gets here, but don\u2019t forget to wash it before you use it for anything else!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also try putting your cat\u2019s litter box in an area where they have to cross the longest amount of distance to get anywhere within the house. It won\u2019t reduce the tracking overall, but it will reduce the tracking on the things you want to avoid having litter on the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why does it matter whether a litter is low-dust or dust-free?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For tracking, generally, the smaller the particle, the easier it is to get stuck within the hair and crevices of your cat\u2019s paws. Dust is a super small particle, so having a lot of it pretty much ensures minute amounts of tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be unrealistic though: all litter will contain some dust. The amount varies drastically, but I don\u2019t want anyone expecting the \u2018perfect litter\u2019 and being disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all other purposes, dust isn\u2019t generally a thing you want a lot of in your home! Even if you don\u2019t have asthma, allergies, or another medical condition you\u2019re living with, constantly breathing in dust particles isn\u2019t ideal for your or <strong>your cat\u2019s<\/strong> health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tab-con-9\">\u200bFinal Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re at your wits end with finding litter e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e, don\u2019t feel alone in your struggle.
