Best cat litter for indoor cats in the UK for hygienic toilet time

Thanks to the active ingredients in this cat litter, which prevent the growth of bacteria, this Catsan Hygiene Cat Litter is a great option for keeping the litter tray as fresh as possible for your feline friend.

As well as being good at keeping odour to a minimum, it is designed to absorb liquids rapidly too. It also has very low dust when poured out of the bag so it won't make a mess every time you change their litter.

A handful of customers have reported issues with this litter tracking so you may find yourself having to do more regular cleanups around your house to tidy up the bits that get stuck on your kitty's paws. As this is a big bag, you'll also want to make sure you've got plenty of room to store it. However overall, Catsan is a popular choice with many owners using this cat litter for years, with many reviews raving about the absorbency, durability and ease of cleaning.

The Pettex Premium Cat Litter is a clumping cat litter that helps damp patches in your cat's litter to form together so they can be removed and dispensed with ease for easy cleanup.

It has a natural mineral formulation as this litter is produced from a natural source of bentonite clay, which allows stronger clumps to form. Not only that, but it has a dust-free formulation, so you don't have to worry about it going everywhere when changing it.

Some customer reviews on Pets at Home mention this litter to be quite large and heavy so it had issues with clumps forming straight away. That being said, other customers had no issues with clumps forming and found that it reduces odours and leaves no dust behind all for a great price.

Looking for a more planet-conscious option to line your kitty's litter tray? The Bio-Catolet Light and Hygienic Cat Litter is made using recycled paper and can be composted (although, it's not recommended for putting in with your vegetable waste).

It's extremely absorbent as it can absorb around 250 per cent of its own weight so it reliably masks odours left behind by your feline friend. It's dust-free too so it shouldn't make too much of a mess during clean-ups.

While the vast majority of customers felt like it did a good job at odour absorption, the odd reviewer felt it fell a bit short when it came to masking the odours once out of the litter tray but as long as you're taking the soiled litter straight outside to the bin or compost when it's changed, this shouldn't be a major issue. Overall, the Bio-Catolet Light and Hygienic Cat Litter is rated highly for being an eco-friendly option that offers low mess and high absorbency.

The Aloe Vera formula of the Sanicat Classic Cat Litter promises long-lasting freshness in your cat's litter tray for up to seven days so if you're after a low-maintenance litter, this is definitely one to consider.

It features oxygen odour control technology to neutralise and break down unpleasant odours so not only does this litter offer less waste, it's hygienic too. Like many of the options on this list, it has low dust emission so it's ideal if you're allergic or sensitive to dust.

With a four-litre capacity, this bag of litter is smaller than others included on this list which is mentioned as a negative throughout the customer reviews. Reviews also mention how nice the litter smells and how good it is at absorbing odours.

With over 16,500 reviews, the Lifelong Bentonite Premium Cat Litter is a popular choice with cat owners on Amazon.

It has a lush but light baby powder scent that's not too powerful that it's overwhelming but strong enough to cover up any odours. It also has high clumping ability and will not stick to your cat's paws so you can keep all messes inside their litter tray.

Customers have found this litter to be a bit dusty so you may find a light layer form whenever you change the litter. This shouldn't be a big problem though, you just may have to do more of a cleanup after every litter change. Reviewers had plenty of good things to say about this litter including how nice it smelt, how well it absorbs the moisture of urine and faeces and its strong clumping ability.

As any cat owner knows, our feline friends like to feel fresh, so they'll love that this litter has antibacterial properties to make doing their business as clean as possible, and it makes it a more pleasant experience for you to pick up, too.

Customers felt this litter could form clumps better and it was quite dusty despite being advertised as a low-dust formula. However, for the price, many thought it was a good quality litter and found it to be super absorbent.

Last but by no means least on our list of the UK's best cat litter for indoor cats is this Nature's Calling Walnut Shell Fine Granule Clumping Cat Litter.

Made from the reclaimed lining of walnut shells, it's completely natural and biodegradable, but best of all it's flushable so clean up is simple as you can dispose of it in your toilet.

It does track a lot according to customer reviews so you may find your kitty brings litter from their tray around the house as it gets stuck to their paws. However, the fact that it forms clumps effectively, is easy to clean up and masks smells too makes the tracking worth it.

Because Tippaws Long-Lasting Clumping Litter is made from plant fibres, it generates minimal dust, making it a good option for indoor cats. Plus, the wood and corn granules are very easy to handle. It forms solid clumps, so hardy any urine escapes into the tray (this is the usual culprit of odour). Also, the litter has an antibacterial formulation to keep the litter hygienic.

Customers praise this litter for being very absorbant, low in dust and easy to clean. It's long-lasting, and reviews say it's better than the leading cat litter brands. Because it is a natural litter, you should expect some tracking.
