What does öko mean?
It's german for "eco" or ecological, meaning green or organic. ökocat litter is made from 100% reclaimed wood. It really is nature's gift to you and your cats. Go green, go öko!
How is ökocat different?
ökocat is made of reclaimed wood; it’s lighter and more absorbent than traditional litters and it’s easy on the planet. What’s not to love?
Why is our litter made from wood?
Our cat litter is made from reclaimed wood which is naturally lightweight, naturally absorbent, naturally odor-controlling, biodegradable and sustainable. Over the years, cat litter has been made from ashes, sand, newspaper and even food-grade materials. None of these materials have the range of features that natural wood offers.
What types of wood are used in our natural cat litter?
ökocat litter is a blend of spruce, fir and pine. Our fiber suppliers comply with policies of the Forest Stewardship Council, Sustainable Forestry Imitative or the Forestry Preservation and Forestry Promotion Act.
How does our natural cat litter absorb so well?
Tree fiber has a natural capillary system within it that absorbs moisture and holds it within the fiber wall, thanks to Mother Nature. Our unique processing methods build on that natural ability.
Why is absorption so important in our natural cat litter?
Wood cat litter is naturally super absorbent and fast absorption in natural litter ensures your cat isn't standing in urine while relieving himself. It also helps to pull the urine down into the bottom of the tray. Rather than pool at the top. High absorption rates ensure that minimal litter is being wetted, so you use less, and scoop less so you save money. It also makes the cat box easier to clean and less frequently is needed due to the limited moisture and doesn't allow the litter to cake to the bottom. And absorption rates help with odor control by quickly absorbing the mess and encapsulating and trapping the odor inside. Ta da!
How does it fight odors?
The natural capillary structure of wood helps protect trees in their natural environment. That same structure works to repress odors in our cat litters. Because of wood’s incredible natural absorbency, urine doesn’t collect at the bottom of the litter tray, creating all kinds of unpleasant odors and unhygienic conditions.
Are there harmful chemicals used in the processing of your cat litter?
No. Any of the additives in our products are those typically found in the production of common household products such as tissue paper and/or products for human consumption.
How much lighter is natural wood litter than clay?
ökocat weighs 50% to 60% less than clay litters. For example, you would only have to carry 7 pounds of ökocat for the equivalent of 20 pounds of clay.
What makes the clumping litters clump?
We add a proprietary recipe of ingredients derived from natural materials that are listed by the FDA as GRAS (generally accepted as safe) human-grade ingredients. We achieve superior performance through the unique selection and application of these ingredients.
Why is clumping important for cat litter?
Clumping cat litters immediately react with moisture. Cat urine is encapsulated and begins to harden on contact, trapping the liquid and the odor within. The urine does not soak to the bottom of the box and sit there stinking up the room and attaching to the bottom of the box. The clump is easily removed, you waste less litter, don't have to scrape the bottom of the box and your cat stays clean and dry. The clumping litter also attaches to the moisture in feces. Though it does not clump as solid as a urine clump, it is still incredibly beneficial.
Why doesn't everyone use CLUMPING litters then?
Some people don’t know the benefits. Some prefer non-clumping litters because they use automatic litter boxes, or the type that have screens or use rakes to clean the box and some are concerned about the ingredients used to clump. The clumping ingredients used in ours are those typically found in in the production of common household products such as tissue paper.What scoop is best to use with the larger pellet litters?There are several scoops with large slots specially designed for use with pellets available at retail. We are hoping to have our own specially designed okocat scoop available soon!
Does ökocat litter works in litter robot or other clumping litter machines?
We recommend either the Wood Clumping which is a cracked pellet or the super soft wood clumping litter which is grounded into fine granules much like clay litter. Both should work in your litter machine. If you would like an example of the actual size of the litters there are high quality pictures of granule size on the individual product pages.
What are the issues with cat litters made from wheat, corn, grains, tea or other food types?
Because these products are made from food product, they will degrade and rot like food. Unlike wood products, and the odor is noticeable as they degrade. Ugh! They can also vary in price due to cost trends of the commodities they are made from.What are the benefits of our paper cat litter?Our paper litter is 70% lighter than clay, but just as absorbent, making it a great choice for someone who doesn't wish to haul or store a heavy bag of litter. It is also an excellent choice for homes with cats, adults or children that are either respiratory sensitive, allergic or asthmatic. It is also highly recommended by veterinarians for post-surgery use due to its clean nature.Where does the paper come from in ökocat Dust Free litter?Paper is produced by pressing together moist fibers, typically cellulose pulp derived from trees. Rather than using recycled newspaper that contains inks and dyes like some other paper litters, our paper is produced from natural wood fibers in our own processing facilities specifically designed to make paper cat litter. These wood fibers are washed and screened via a proprietary process. This process melds the fibers together to produce a finished pellet that is then dried and screened to very specific specifications and packed on dedicated packaging lines.
Why is the Dust Free litter made from paper?
Paper comes from trees, trees come from nature; it’s a sustainable resource with many benefits. As well, our paper litter offers several benefits to both cats and consumers that stand apart from other litters. Our clean, ink and dye free paper litter is the lightest litter option, it has natural absorbency and is 99.9% dust free.
Why is there dust in the “Dust Free” cat litter?
Unlike, many natural cat litters, we screen our wood litter to remove 99.9% of all dust prior to putting it into a package. A small amount of dust may remain on the surface of each pellet. Some movement takes place during shipping, handling in warehouses and on store shelves, which we do not have control over.
Can I compost used natural cat litter?
The kitty litter itself is completely biodegradable. However, we do not recommend putting used litter feces clumps in your compost bin. If you choose to compost, do not use in vegetable gardens, or be sure to let it set for six months so as to follow the USDA protocol in order to make the compost safe for use in vegetable gardens.
Can you or can't you flush the natural cat litter?
Yes, our natural wood kitty litters are flushable and have been certified by SGS in accordance with ANSI standards (ASME A112.19.6. (JRS)) However, local limitations should be considered and flushing is not recommended if on a septic system. As well, the state of California has a referendum against flushing cat litter for protection of the sea lion population, since cat feces can harm sea lions.
Why is there a PROP 65 Warning on the packaging of your cat litters?
We realize the requirement posed (only) by the state of California sounds scary. It needn’t be. The warning pertains to “wood dust.” Along with beach sand, wood dust was added to a list of more than 900 substances ruled harmful when overexposure occurs in the workplace, or even by a consumer. According to the law, all wood- and silica-based cat litters should state the Prop 65 warning to be compliant, though many do not.There are several innocuous substances on the California list that with typical use, do not risk human or pet health (e.g. traditional clay cat litters are also required to carry the warning for silica or “sand,”). However, it’s our responsibility to label our products as required by law. Being a small company and to keep retail costs down, we chose to print only one packaging version, rather than incurring the cost of a “California only “ version.
Are any animals used in the testing of your products?
We do not use animals in the testing of any of our products. All our products do go through rigorous quality assurance procedures and third party laboratory testing and adhere to established safety guidelines mandated by regulatory and animal welfare agencies. Our products are made from substances that have a long history of safety for both the humans and animals, and are found in everyday products from both the food and cosmetics industries.
Is your product still safe for birds?
The best bird bedding is actually our ökocat Dust Free cat litter.
Where are your products made?
Currently, our two clumping products are currently made in Germany and have been sold there as Europe's number one natural litter for more than 15 years under the name of CAT’S BEST. We plan to make them in the USA in the near future. Our paper and non-clumping pine products are manufactured in Jesup, GA and Ferndale, WA.

Doesn't dry properly, clogs litter tray, tracks everywhere
By Ally on Jan 26, 2021
I wanted this litter to work so bad as I hate using the very un eco friendly clay litter, however it was useless. Instead of drying out and clumping, it turned into a sludge of sort when in contact with urine. Maybe if you were already using a conventional clumping litter this wouldn't be too bad, but if you use a tray litter box that already separates urine from BMs, don't bother trying this litter. Also tracks EVERYWHERE even with a mat to try and prevent it from getting all over my apartment.

My favorite litter
By Mardee on Jan 9, 2021
This is my favorite litter I have used that my cats will use. Clumps pretty well, my favorite part is that it doesn't have a strong smell of its own (just smells like wood) and definitely helps control odor. Previously used pretty litter and you could always smell the pee and stuff, but I don't smell anything with this litter unless I'm cleaning out the box. Lasts me a long time too and I have three cats so I like that I don't have to buy it all the time. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it does stick to the cats paws a bit and get stuck to the floor and things sometimes when they walk around after.

Best litter I've ever used
By Daph on Dec 30, 2020
I've been scooping litter in a multiple cat household my whole life. I'm currently on my 4th generation of cats, and this is, hands down, the best litter I've ever used. For awhile I was a fan of a wheat-based litter and then I discovered a tea leaves based litter (I guess I'm not supposed to mention competitor names), which was awesome but crumbled too much, but this is the first litter I've ever used that I never have to replace. In other words, I never have to dump the whole batch, clean the box, and start fresh. As long as I scoop liberally, rather than sifting it down to just the waste itself, the box stays really clean. Also, the boxes don't smell (at least with pee - if there's poop I've been scooping litter in a multiple cat household my whole life.

The only drawback is that it's really dusty, and I do worry about that for both cats and me. But the options I've found that aren't dusty have other problems, like a strong chemical smell. One of my cats doesn't like the sharp feel of this litter, so I keep a couple of boxes of the super soft formula for him. That one is also good but even dustier. … more

Easily tracked all over the house
By Cookie3047 on Jan 10, 2021
I've tried the very fine Okocat litter, and that was too fine. She kept tracking it out of the litter box. So I decided I needed something a little more coarse, but this Original is like corn kernels. She tracks it all over and if you step on it barefoot, you'll know it. Other than that, it's absorbant And I do like the smell, but it's harder to scoop because of the 'kernels'. I won't be buying this one again, Next round, I'll try somewhere in the middle.

Love this Litter
By Mercysmom on Jan 9, 2021
I have six cats and they have a lovely Catio where their litter boxes reside. Make that four LARGE boxes that are not covered. In school they all excelled in the class of "flip the litter out of the box" and this litter has not only cut down on the amount I sweep up daily but also actually clumps better. I also like the idea that this litter is biodegradeable as I always was concerned about the amount of litter going into the landfills.

I love it!
By Cooper on Jan 13, 2021
My cat seems to enjoy this litter. I was never a fan of clay litter for the dust and the pain of stepping on it on the floor. This litter is virtually smell-free (other than the light pine smell) and is soft when it inevitably ends up on the floor in my bathroom. I also love that it’s eco friendly and the box is easily recyclable. It clumps extremely well, which I was very pleasantly about!

Not impressed
By Catadvocate on Dec 8, 2020
I'm sorry to say that I'm not impressed with this cat litter. I really wanted to like it for my little girl, who was recently found to be highly allergic to dust and storage mites (I had the vet do a blood serum test for allergies). The wood based litter would not be attractive to the storage mites, which like grain based foods or litters. I already have been steam cleaning and vacuuming more often in an effort to control the dust and storage mites, and was really hoping to add this litter to our protocol. I've been using the Frisco grass seed cat litter (made from white sorghum seed), which has been really good at clumping and low on dust. Unfortunately, this wood based cat litter (I actually I'm sorry to say that I'm not impressed with this cat litter.

I've been using the Frisco grass seed cat litter (made from white sorghum seed), which has been really good at clumping and low on dust. Unfortunately, this wood based cat litter (I actually purchased their Featherweight one at a local pet store), does not hold a clump as well as the grass litter. Don't get me wrong...it does clump fairly well, but it doesn't hold together as well. Bits and pieces tend to break off and I have to sift through the cat litter more to try and get it all. I'm sure I still miss some of the very small pieces that fall through the litter scoop. The smell is okay....what can I say....it smells like wood....like a lumber yard. However, I'm stuck between reducing the mite population and a good clumping cat litter. I think I will stick with the grass cat litter for now and just change it out more often...maybe every 2-3 weeks. The Chewy associate recommended every 3-4 for the grass litters. Hope this helps others out there with a similar dilemma. … more

It's the cat's favorite
By Selena on Dec 14, 2020
My main requirement was to find a litter that my cat would actually use, every time. Once that was met, I had a bunch of secondary criteria I was looking for: 1) Absorbs odors without having to use artificial fragrances to cover them (the standard commercial cat litter smell makes me nauseous). 2) Is environmentally friendly (both to produce and dispose of). 3) Lasts a few weeks before needing to be replaced. This litter does everything I need it to do. First, my cat loves it, the weirdo sometimes just plays in it, even when he doesn't have to go potty. There is no standard "cat litter" smell to this at all, it's totally unscented but the material manages to absorb the odors, no smelly My main requirement was to find a litter that my cat would actually use, every time.

I find I only need to do a full replacement once a month. I'll refill the box as needed throughout the month, but this lasts a long time before it wears out and needs to be dumped. The only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is that my cat manages to track it everywhere. I find these little pellets all over the house and I just keep a broom in the bathroom with the litter box so I can sweep around it whenever I pass by. It's not a huge chore, but I know tracking litter can be annoying so I thought I'd mention it. … more

Great litter
By Ellie on Jan 9, 2021
I’ve tried lots of different litter including tofu, walnut shell, regular clay etc. I think this is my favorite so far. It’s lighter weight, actually has very little or no dust (unlike many that claim this, it actually seems to be true), and controls odor better than any I’ve tried before. Happy I found this!!

Great litter
By Catlady on Jan 24, 2021
Fantastic litter that my cats use daily. They also track it all over the house daily. It gets in their paw pads and ends up everywhere but all litters do so it isn't a shortcoming of oko cat. The cats won't even try to wipe their paws
