Kittyfriend cat litter
Kittyfriend is a straightforward, everyday cat litter brand, and the range we carry covers the three main types most owners choose between: clumping clay litter, classic non-clumping litter, and wood pellet litter, plus an antibacterial option for households wanting extra hygiene reassurance. None of the three is objectively the right choice — it comes down to your cat's own preference and how you like to clean the tray.
The three main types, and the difference between them
Kittyfriend Clumping Cat Litter forms solid clumps around wet waste, which makes spot-cleaning a tray straightforward without needing to change the whole thing each time. Kittyfriend Classic Cat Litter is a traditional non-clumping clay litter, which tends to be cheaper but usually needs fuller changes more often rather than daily spot-cleaning.
Kittyfriend's wood pellet litter is a different material entirely — compressed wood rather than clay — and tends to control odour well while being lighter to carry and, for many owners, easier to dispose of. Which type suits you often comes down to your cat's own preference as much as anything else, since some cats are particular about texture underfoot.
Switching litter without a fuss
Cats can be surprisingly particular about litter texture, so if you're switching from a different brand or type, mix the new litter in gradually with the old rather than swapping the tray over all at once. A cat who suddenly dislikes their tray may simply be reacting to the change rather than anything wrong with the new litter.
Whichever type you choose, scooping solid waste daily and keeping the tray itself clean matters more to most cats than the specific brand of litter underneath it.
How much litter, and how often to change it
A layer around 5 to 7cm deep is typical for most trays, deep enough for a cat to dig and cover comfortably without being wasteful. Scoop solid waste out daily regardless of which Kittyfriend type you use, and follow the guidance on the specific product for how often to do a full change.
A tray that smells strongly between changes, or one your cat is avoiding, is usually a sign it needs cleaning more often rather than a reason to switch brands outright — try adjusting your routine before assuming the litter itself is the problem.

Common questions
- Which Kittyfriend litter is best for odour control?
- The wood pellet option is generally considered strong on odour control among the range, though clumping litter also helps by letting you remove wet waste promptly rather than leaving it to sit. Regular scooping matters as much as the litter type itself.
- Is Kittyfriend litter safe for kittens?
- Most clay and wood-based litters are fine for kittens once they're using a tray independently, but very young kittens are sometimes started on a simpler, non-clumping litter to reduce the small risk of ingesting clumping litter while they're still learning. Ask your vet if you're unsure what's appropriate for a very young kitten.
- Why has my cat stopped using the litter tray after I changed the litter?
- Cats can be sensitive to a sudden change in litter texture or scent, and this is a common reason a previously reliable cat starts avoiding the tray. Try mixing the new litter with the old gradually, and speak to your vet if the problem doesn't resolve, since litter tray avoidance can occasionally signal a health issue too.
