Crystal cat litter, also known as silica gel litter, is a type of cat litter composed of small, translucent granules made from silica dioxide. These granules are highly absorbent, capable of trapping moisture and odors effectively. Unlike traditional clay litters, crystal litter does not clump but instead absorbs urine and dehydrates solid waste, reducing odor and making cleanup easier. Its non-clumping nature means it requires less frequent replacement than clay litter, and its light weight makes it convenient to handle. Crystal cat litter is often favored for its superior odor control and longevity compared to other types of litter.
