Many types of cat litter are on the market. Most litters are disposable; some are even flushable. Clawed cats are not likely to care what type you use. Declawed cats, on the other hand, are often challenged with litter box issues.
Non clumping clay litters
Granulated pieces of clay litter are about the size of small-grain rice. 100% clay litters are natural, very inexpensive and available in every grocery store, pet stores, and online catalogs. They have been on the market since 1945. Clay litters are not biodegradable or flushable. The clay …
