Most non-clumping cat litters are made from clay or silica (crystal) formulations.
They rely on odor-control systems such as activated carbon, extended‑release deodorizing formulas, and silica crystals that trap or absorb moisture to reduce odors.
Cleanup usually means removing solid waste by scooping. Crystal (silica) litters may suggest stirring crystals daily to distribute absorption, while clay non-clumping products generally require scooping solids and periodic full replacement.
Yes — non-clumping litters are sold in both scented and unscented varieties.
