![Dr. Elsey's Kitten Attract Clumping Clay Cat Litter, 20-lb bag]()
Overall summary: Most cats know how to find and use their litter without help, but a little extra coaxing never hurt anyone. This litter has a gentle herbal scent cats love. It’s also low dust, and doesn’t track too much, though no litter is 100 percent tracking-free. Clumping litters can be bad for cats if ingested, so keep an eye on just how your cat is interacting with their box. You want them to discourage from sleeping in or playing in their litter as they are more likely to get it stuck to their fur and then ingest it during grooming.
What we like: As far as clumping clay litters go, this one is pretty top-notch and it comes at a great price. It’s also soft on paws and can make all the difference if your kitten seems weary of using their new litter box.
What we don’t like: This litter, like all of Dr. Elsey’s clumping litters, can be hard to clean when your cat’s pee comes into contact with the side of the box. Honestly, scraping clumps off the side or bottom of a litter box full of Dr. Elsey’s can sometimes feel like you are trying to remove rubberized concrete.
Who it’s best for: Ideal for new kitten parents battling litter box misses, or anyone trying to gently coax a stubborn kitten into proper habits. If your tiny fluff ball prefers pressing paws into soft terrain (rather than sandy grit), this is a solid match — just pair it with patience and a steady scooping schedule.
