Kitter Wood Pellet Cat Litter 15kg: Natural, Absorbent and Biodegradable Pine Pellet Litter

Kitter Wood Pellet Litter: A Natural, Non-Clumping Cat Litter

Kitter Wood Pellet Cat Litter is a natural, non-clumping alternative to clay and crystal cat litter, made from compressed plantation timber with no additives of any kind. The pellets absorb urine fast, with one kilogram soaking up over 3 litres of odour-causing liquid, and the wood's natural oils help control the ammonia smell in the litter tray. It's 100% biodegradable and great for composting. This 15kg bag suits single and multi-cat households.

How Wood Pellet Cat Litter Works

When a cat urinates, the firm wood pellets absorb the liquid and break down into soft sawdust. In a sieve tray, that sawdust falls through to the bottom section while the clean pellets stay on top. Instead of scooping wet clumps, you shake the tray, empty the sawdust and top up with a few fresh pellets. The naturally occurring anti-bacterial oils in the wood act on odour quickly, slowing the growth of the bacteria that cause the ammonia smell, and leave a light pine scent.

Do Wood Pellets Work for Cat Litter?

Yes. Wood pellets are one of the most absorbent natural cat litters, and many owners find they control odour better than clay. They work best when you:

• Use a two-piece sieve tray, so only wet litter is removed.
• Scoop solid waste every day.
• Shake or sift the tray regularly to separate used sawdust from clean pellets.
• Give your cat a little time to get used to the new texture.

Because the pellets are larger and heavier than clay granules, they're less likely to stick to paws and get tracked through the house.

Which Type of Cat Litter Is Best?

• Clay clumping litter: easy to scoop, but heavy and often dusty, and it isn't biodegradable.
• Silica crystal litter: light and absorbent, but not compostable, and some cats dislike the texture.
• Paper litter: soft and biodegradable, but usually less effective on odour.
• Wood pellet litter: natural, highly absorbent, low dust and biodegradable, but non-clumping and best used with a sieve tray.

For a natural cat litter that controls odour and can be composted, wood pellets are a practical choice.

How to Use Kitter

In a standard litter tray:

• Fill a clean tray with about 3cm of Kitter pellets.
• Scoop out solid waste daily.
• Remove wet, broken-down litter regularly and top up with fresh pellets.
• Clean the whole tray and replace the litter as needed.

In a two-piece sieve tray:

• Place two to three handfuls of pellets in the bottom tray.
• Add about 2cm of pellets on top of the sieve.
• Shake the tray so wet sawdust falls into the base.
• Scoop out solid waste daily and empty the base as needed.
• Replace all the litter and clean the tray every two to three weeks, or sooner if needed.

Switching Your Cat to Wood Pellets

Cats can be cautious about a new litter texture or smell. Sprinkle some of your cat's old litter over the top of the Kitter pellets for a short time, then gradually reduce it as your cat starts using the new litter confidently. Keep the tray in its usual spot and keep it clean during the change.

Use Pet Litter, Not Heating Pellets

Some wood pellets sold for heaters and stoves are similar in look, but they aren't made for pets and may contain hardwood blends, binders or additives. Kitter is made from 100% natural plantation timber with nothing added, so it's made for the litter tray.

Composting Used Litter

Used Kitter is biodegradable and can be composted, spread on lawns or mixed into ornamental garden beds. Wear gloves when handling soiled litter and wash your hands afterwards. Don't use soiled cat litter on vegetable gardens or near edible plants, and don't flush cat litter or cat waste down the toilet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Kitter Wood Pellet Cat Litter made from?

It's made from 100% natural wood sourced from renewable plantation timber, with no additives or chemicals of any kind.

How long does a 15kg bag of Kitter cat litter last?

It depends on how many cats you have and the tray you use. With a two-piece sieve tray, only the wet litter is removed, so each kilogram lasts much longer than in a standard tray.

Do wood pellets work for cat litter?

Yes. Wood pellets absorb urine quickly, control odour with natural wood oils and break down into sawdust that sifts away from clean pellets. They work best with a sieve tray.

Which type of cat litter is best?

It depends on your cat and your priorities. Clay clumps easily, silica is light, and paper is soft, while wood pellet litter is natural, highly absorbent, low dust and biodegradable. For a natural, compostable option with good odour control, wood pellets are a strong choice.

What is the best natural litter for cats?

Natural litters include wood, paper, corn and wheat. Wood pellet litter is one of the most absorbent and odour-controlling natural options, and it's biodegradable and compostable.

Does Kitter clump?

No. It's a non-clumping litter. Wet pellets break down into sawdust, which you sift into the base of a sieve tray or scoop out of a standard tray.

How do I switch my cat to wood pellet litter?

Sprinkle some of your cat's old litter over the Kitter for a short period, then reduce it gradually as your cat gets used to the new litter.
