Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling used cat litter, as cat feces may contain Toxoplasma gondii—a parasite that can cause toxoplasmosis. Pregnant or nursing women, as well as children and anyone with a weakened immune system, should avoid handling used cat litter. Always handle litter in a ventilated area to avoid inhalation. Keep contents and packaging out of reach of children and pets. Seek medical help in case of accidental ingestion. Litter Material is flammable.

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.

Amazing Odor Control
Have two cats, over the years have tried many types of clay clumping kitty litter. All clay clumping litter tended to set like cement if not cleaned 1-2 x a day. Began trying all different kinds of litter from litter green, sweet scoop wheat etc. All litter tracks. Okocat clumps well, a little differently from clay clumping litter and does not form bottom layer of cemented litter. I believe Okocat has the best odor control of any litter I have ever tried. My cats have used various size pellets with out issue, I favor the smallest as seems easier for me when cleaning the litter box. Look through pictures provided by Chewy when ordering for pellet size.
Best Okocat litter
I have tried nearly every Okocat type including the regular pellets, less mess, & soft paws, but I have found this one to be the best of the bunch. One of my boys is a bit of a “neat freak” so he believes in burying his excrement quite well, but in his pursuits of litter box cleanliness, he has a tendency to create quite the mess outside of their litter boxes. Out of the three other Okocat varieties I’ve used, I found this one to be the LEAST messiest of them all as there is significantly less litter outside of their boxes. Plus, the texture is still light and seems like it would be gentler under foot (or paw) than the pellets. It clumps well and has a nice naturally fresh wood scent when initially poured. Overall, this is one of the best litters I’ve purchased. I could also see this being a good litter for transitioning a cat from clay to natural wood as it has a more similar or familiar texture to traditional clay clumping varieties.
We Have a Winner
We’ve been using a safflower seed litter box for our cats for many years. It’s very smelly. We decided to get another litter box, but had trouble finding the right litter for our cats. Clay litter got stuck on our cats’ furry paws. It was painful. So I made a spreadsheet of different kinds of litter and their pluses and minuses. So far, Okocat is the winner. The litter eliminates odors better than any other we tried. The light clumps are easy to remove. Tracking is minimal. We also like the cardboard packaging v. plastic pail. So happy we tried Okocat early on!
Great clumping wood litter
I have always had cats but always hated clay litter. It smells and is very dusty. This is a great alternative I have found that still clumps and acts like regular litter. There's a little bit of dust but at least it's not clay dust. It has a nice pine smell when it first comes out of the box. The litter lasts a while too. Like clay litter is does still scatter with a messy cat but is an easy clean up
Proud Cat Momma!!
By far the best litter I have bought for my fur babies. For years I kept switching between brands, stayed away from clay, attempted paper litter, feline pine and other eco friendly litters. The original Oko cat littler a little easier to clean than the other types from Oko cat and best bang for your buck. Minimal tracking
It's a good product
Not being a fan of clay kitty litter, I searched for a good replacement. I soon discovered Okocat, and reading up on it, I liked what I was learning. I started using it over two years ago. Because Okocat is a natural wood product, it has a natural wood fragrance. Better yet, if Kitty covers up his/her waste product, there is little-to-no odor. Occasionally, one of my cats will produce a stink-bomb and then run for the hills without covering. That always gets my attention, and after I scoop up the little bomb, the cat box once again smells nice. Clay litter has no natural odor-control. Instead, it relies on the artificial Glade-type "perfume." To me, that stuff smells worse than the kitty bombs. The other things I love about Okocat is: 1 - it's far lighter than clay; 2 - it's not expensive; 3- it lasts longer than an equal-size container of clay; 3 - I don't need to change litter nearly as often, a chore I truly dislike; 4 - although it's a little dusty, it's not nearly as bad as clay; 5 - if your kitty has sensitive feet, Okocat is easier on them; 6 - If Kitty has super-sensitive feet (which most declawed cats have), Okocat makes a softer litter than the Original one; 7 - Okocat does track a bit, but then, so did the clay litter I used to buy. For a very small price, you can buy mats that catch much of the litter that kitty might track when they leave the catbox. Those mats are very easy to clean. Finally, the clay they use for litter is betonite clay. After a cat uses a clay-filled box, they groom themselves to remove what has stuck to their feet and to remove the dust that landed on their coats. Some say it is safe for cats to ingest it. Some say it isn't safe. I didn't want to continue taking a chance. I found Okocat, and I'm very pleased with it.
No litter is perfect
If odor control is one of your highest priorities, give this a try. Of any litters I've tried, this one wins hands-down for oder control. I have a sensitive nose, so this is important to me. This truly eliminates the urine smell; poo also, when buried. I wish I could say I love everything else about it, but alas, I cannot. Tracking is annoying. I'm finding this litter everywhere my cat goes: couch, bed, chairs; where doesn't she go? And the dust... There is no way this is 99% dust-free. It's closest to that, maybe, when still unused in the carton. But the more it's used & stirred around while cleaning out the litter box, the more it breaks down until you have what looks like a layer of sawdust in the bottom of the litter box, on its sides, & a bit outside the box where litter tracks first. I keep a dry microfiber mop nearby to corral the debris that spreads outside the box. I probably need to be replacing the litter entirely more often, especially when I see more dust accumulation. Because it doesn't smell, it's easy to let it go longer. I have not yet tried the pellet version of litter in this brand, but would like to see if it tracks less, as stated. Photo is to give you an idea how dusty it gets as it breaks down over 2 weeks or so of heavy use, fresh litter added in as clumps are removed. The box states, "Low Airborne Dust" & perhaps that's true. I hope so.
Good, but not perfect
I like this litter a lot and have been using it for my cats for about a year now. There's no such thing as a perfect litter, but for me, the pros outweigh the cons on this one. PROS: The wood smell is refreshing and does a much better job of eliminating odor than any other litter I've tried. I also like that it's eco-friendly. I've found that this litter does not track very much as long as you place a mat in front of the litter box. My cats seem to like this better than the clay litter. It clumps great and is super easy to scoop. CONS: The top handle is flimsy and there is no way to reseal the box after you've opened it. This litter is also very very dusty. I have to dust my place more regularly and have even had to wipe dust off of my cat before. Like some other reviewers, I sometimes mix this with a softer litter because it can be a bit rough on paws since it is made from wood.
No perfumes, no odors
We have been using this litter for a few months now in our 2-cat household. Previously I was using scented clay litters and they would cause allergic reactions so I had to find an alternative. Ökocat is a winner! It is unscented and the nasty ammonia smell we used to get from clay litters is nonexistent.
Never Going back to Clay
Okocat worked better than I ever would have expected. Please try it if you have been using clay litter for all of your cats. This was my first try and while we didn't like the "soft" variety (finer grains) we loved the original version. Started with one box of each. Now, I'm going to make sure I always have this product on hand.
