Best Cat Litters 2026: According to Reviews | Chewy

Best Cat Litter

The right cat litter can make a real difference in smell, cleanup time, and how consistently cats use the litter box. Some litters form tighter clumps that simplify scooping, while others focus on reducing dust and tracking around the house. Texture and scent can also influence litter box preferences, especially in homes with multiple cats or picky cats who dislike sudden changes. Below, you'll find today's best-selling and top-rated cat litters that Chewy pet parents, like you, love. We update this list every week, so you can be sure you're getting the timeliest product recommendations available.

Our Top Picks

How we created this cat litter list

We leveraged input from our veterinarians and artificial intelligence to identify key considerations to help you find the best cat litter.
We scanned thousands of customer reviews and ratings and scored each product based on its performance against each of the key considerations. We then considered how popular a product is with Chewy customers and combined that with its key consideration scores to create the list of the best cat litters.
