Can we talk for a moment, about cat litter? Yes, this is not a topic that comes up in everyday conversation but for cat lovers, it is a part of sharing a home with a feline or two. As the old saying goes, if the cat isn’t happy, nobody’s happy, and this has never been more true than in the case of a cat who has suddenly decided to avoid the litter box because it is unhappy with its cat litter brand. This is the last thing any cat owner wants as the smell is obviously awful and extremely difficult to get out if it has the opportunity to settle in.

Felines are fussy by nature; this is one of their most endearing qualities, the ability to express approval or disapproval with the flick of a tail. While cat fans are accustomed to catering to their furry friends’ every whim and desire, the fact is that using cat litter boxes is a non-negotiable item for even the most accommodating cat owner. Finding the right brand of cat litter works out for both parties because the cat will use the cat litter box and the owner gets to keep their home smelling fresh and clean.

The most important feature in cat litter from the human side is finding one that has strong odor control. One good choice is the Fresh Step cat litter. Fresh Step has actually patented their odor control technology, which is based on the use of carbon.

Fresh Step offers a variety of cat pleasing cat litter formulas. Most indoor cats seem to prefer litters that are clay based and have clumping or scoopability features. This style of litter looks like sand and once in use, the litter serves as magnet to create a clump that is easily removed from the box with a scoop.

The scientists and chemists behind the Fresh Step brand strive to provide cat owners with a wide variety of litters to meet both cat and owners’ needs. The introduction of mineral based crystal cat litter, in combination with scoopable litter, is an offering that is unique to this brand. The crystals absorb moisture until it evaporates and this has resulted in odor control that has been documented as being five times more effective than clay litter alone.

For those who desire not only odor control but aromatherapy, Fresh Step also has this area covered. This brand features a unique foot activated freshening each and every time the cat steps into the cat litter box. While the freshener may not exactly have the scent that is hanging from the mirror in the car, it sure beats the alternative.
