Most people do not really know what kitty litter is. All we know is that our feline pets are attracted to the scent and they use it to urinate and defecate. We, as owners, try to find a scented kitty litter. We usually result in scented kitty litter through experience. If you are stuck and do not know what to buy for your cat keep in mind that if you are buying for a kitten then you should not buy any kitty litter that clumps. Since your feline is so small, if you decide on buying a kitty litter that clumps you kitten may eat the clumps that it forms. If you are buying kitty litter for an older cat then clumping kitty litter is ideal and is much easier for the owner to scoop out.
