Cat litter from olive pits The first thing to look for when buying is the product what it really contains: some products mix plant material with bentonite and are still sold as "natural". For a reliable purchase, look for four things: clear ingredient list, both volume and weight information, production site And seller's corporate information. Since it is a heavy and bulky product, online purchasing is practical; Try a single package for your first order, switch to multiple packages after your cat accepts it.

Content: is it really herbal?
The most common situation: Some products mix plant material with bentonite — to enhance clumping. These products may still be marketed as "natural" or "herbal." The problem is not that the product is bad, missing claimThe mixture product is not completely biodegradable and has the weight and dust disadvantages of bentonite. Read the ingredient list.
Practical ways to distinguish:
- Look at the weight. A product that is heavier than expected for the same volume may contain mineral additives.
- Read the ingredient list. Are the terms bentonite, clay or sodium bentonite mentioned?
- Note the phrase "100%". Is it written what it is 100% of?
- Color alone is not an indicator. The dark color comes from activated carbon, it is not proof of purity.
