Pet Gold Crystals Premium Cat Litter

Pros
  • Only needs to be changed once a month
  • Extremely absorbent
Cons
  • Can be hard on cats' feet
  • Will stop soaking up urine when it reaches its absorbency limit

Pet Gold Crystals Premium Cat Litter (like other crystal cat litters) isn't included in many comparative reviews, since owners and experts lean toward biodegradeable or clay cat litters. However, this brand does receive positive mentions from owners at one major online retail site, Petco.com.

As a rule, cat experts aren't fond of crystal-based cat litters, which absorb moisture and neutralize odors but can scratch a cat's sensitive paws. The big advantage of crystal litters like Pet Gold Crystals Premium Cat Litter is that they only have to be changed about once a month; unfortunately, once the litter's absorbency level has been reached, liquid urine will pool in the litter box. Most reviewers and pet owners say you (and your cat) will be better off with either a standard clumping clay cat litter like Tidy Cats Scoop (*est. $12 for a 27-pound container) or an organic litter like Feline Pine (*est. $12 for a 20-pound bag).

With the caveat that Petco is a huge retailer of pet products, the chart here comparing the pluses and minuses of various types of cat litter (clay clumping, clay non-clumping, crystal and biodegradable) is very useful. The chart is accompanied by Petco's recommendations, which include Ever Clean (clumping), Pet Gold (non-clumping and crystal) and Yesterday's News (biodegradable).
