CHEWY - Key Persons

For the best cat litter look no further than Chewy. Whether you have a cat, or just seen one on TV, you might not be aware of what cat litter actually is. You might be surprised to learn that there are different types of cat litter. There's clumping cat litter, clay cat litter, unscented cat litter and biodegradable cat litter. The best cat litter for your cuddly kitty depends upon your expectations. Clay cat litter is the oldest type of commercial cat litter, and still widely sold. Clay is a popular cat litter substance because of its ability to absorb liquid. It's also great for controlling odor, because it separates urine. Unfortunately, once clay cat litter becomes soiled, it can no longer absorb liquid which can lead to an odor problem. For this reason, it's important to change cat litter at least once a week. Clumping cat litter, is clay cat litter that contains bentonite which allows the litter to clump when wet. This makes disposing of soiled litter easy, and prevents you from having to refill the entire litter box each time the litter becomes wet. This makes clumping cat litter more cost efficient as well. Silica cat litter is crystallized cat litters formed from silica gel. The gel is absorbent, and provides odor control, which makes it the best cat litter for controlling odor-especially if you are away from home and won't be available to make frequent changes. Biodegradable cat litter is a safe option, and it's environmentally friendly. Biodegradable cat litters can be made from recycled paper products or plant-derived materials like pine, wheat, corn, beet pup and soybeans. Chewy carries a variety of cat litter types from all the top-rated cat litter brands. Keep your home, and your litter, smelling fresh with cat litter from Chewy. And check out our amazing selection of cat food and other top cat supplies like cat trees & towers or a cat house, as well as cat toys.

Does your kitty need a comfortable cat window perch where they can recline and enjoy their catnaps? While cat trees & condos are great for giving cats fun places to play hang out, sometimes cats enjoy having their own private perch with a view. A cat window perch can give your lovable feline the perfect spot to catch up on their sleep or a safe place to survey their domain and the great outdoors. When it comes to finding the right cat perch for your favorite kitty, there are a variety of designs to choose from depending on your cat's needs. If you have an indoor cat that could do with a little more mental stimulation, then a cat window perch is a great idea. Chewy offers plenty of cat window perches that attach to the window or on the window sill, so that they stay securely in place. Or try the Oster Sunny Seat Window Mounted Cat Bed for a cot-style perch. If you have an active cat that needs a little more playtime, you can get a cat window perch that doubles as a scratcher, like the K&H Pet Products EZ Mount Window Scratcher Kitty Sill Cradle. For kitties whose favorite spots tend to be more secluded and hidden, Chewy offers enclosed cat perches and window cat houses. The K&H Pet Products EZ Mount Window Penthouse Window Cat House will give your cat a sense of security while they enjoy watching the wildlife outside. Cat parents that have more than one cat can even get a two-level cat window perch so that both cats can enjoy a window view. For the cat that likes to be closer to the ground, Chewy also offers stand-alone cat perch options like the Frisco 20-Inch Cat Tree. These cat perches double as scratching posts that are sure to keep every cat happy and entertained.
