If you've noticed that your kitten is behaving differently or that there's a bad smell in their litter box even when it's clean, it's time to check their litter.
Cats are very clean and demanding with their environment, so if something isn't working well with their litter, they will let you know.
In this #PetTuesday, we tell you the 5 most common signs that your kitten needs new litter and how to choose the best option.
- Persistent bad odor even after cleaning: some litters don't control odors well and are not absorbent.
- Doesn't use the litter box as usual: this is one of the clearest signs. If your cat relieves itself less than before or outside the box, it could be that the litter has a strong smell, the texture bothers them, or the litter box isn't being cleaned well enough.
- Non-absorbent litter: if the litter quickly becomes damp or sticky, it's a sign that the litter's absorption isn't good.
- Scratches the litter too much: if your kitten doesn't find the "perfect" spot in its litter box when doing its business, causing it to scratch the litter a lot, it's a clear sign that it doesn't like the texture or there's too much moisture, which will make it uncomfortable.
- Changing the litter frequently: if it gets dirty too quickly and doesn't clump, it's also a clear sign that the litter you're using isn't the most suitable.
What signs show which litter is the best?
- Litter that facilitates daily cleaning or keeps the area hygienic
- Neutralizes bad odors, leaving a cleaner environment
- Absorbent litter that keeps the litter box dry for longer
- Clumping litter that facilitates cleaning and makes your kitten feel comfortable
- Longer-lasting litter that allows you to save and maintain hygiene for longer

Tips: Remember that the litter box also needs to be cleaned constantly. You can wash it with warm water and neutral soap once a week, helping to prevent bad odors and bacteria.
