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.

Yes it's soft....
By Mahina on Jan 13, 2021
smells good, isn't dusty at all, is compostable and is NOT environmentally destructive like clay litters. BIG pluses. The only thing I didn't care for was it's a little wonky to scoop as the fibers, well, they don't separate as granules do. But, that's not a deal breaker. Cats seem to prefer their old litters (nature's miracle, corn based and another brand, which is walnut-shell based)...or at least they are using those boxes more than the one with the okocat alone (even though they are side by side). Since we have very large boxes and the entire container of okocat didn't come close to filling it, I put the walnut-based litter in the back half of the box...eventually mixing the two brands smells good, isn't dusty at all, is compostable and is NOT environmentally destructive like clay litters.

Certainly is just a "what we're used to" thing on the part of the cats and definitely worth a try for all the reasons I noted in the opening of this review! I think I'll continue to combine the litters. … more

works well (better than I expected!)
By Kate on Jan 16, 2021
I have a feral cat who was previously in my backyard but who has gradually morphed into a house cat. My biggest concern was whether he could learn to use a litter box, since that concept is new to him. I thought this litter might be more acceptable to him than my usual clay litter. I also bought a package of Dr Elsey's Ultra Litter Attractant and sprinkled that in and a new BIG litter box. This litter is soft and smells like wood chips. I find it quite pleasant, though not sure what the cats think. Despite the box saying "unscented" it actually has a pretty strong but natural scent of wood chips and looks a lot like sawdust.

One of my other cats took to it right away but it is clear that my formerly-feral guy is using it too. There was one initial mishap where he pee'd right next to the box, but I washed that down well and since then he has been using the box. I'm not sure if he uses any of the other boxes (three in total) but so long as this satisfies him I am happy! As others have said, the litter is quite light and airy so tracking is more of an issue, though not terrible. (Thank-you, cordless vac!) I was concerned it might not clump well, but it clumps OK. Maybe not quite as tightly as my clay litter but still no problem with scooping. I doubt it clumps tightly enough for mechanical boxes like litter robots, but it's fine for somewhat gentle manual scooping. Of course I can also give credit to the litter attractant (which looks like a bag of herbs) and the big new box. … more

This stuff's great!
By Nashota on Dec 31, 2020
I love this litter. I live in a small apartment and the only place to put the litter box (for 2 cats) is right next to my toilet in the bathroom. Since the litter is flushable, I just scoop it right into my toilet and flush it down. I am on our city water system so I'm not sure if this would work with a septic tank. My girls are non-stop litter box users so this is very important to me. Another plus is that their pee doesn't smell like ammonia. The only negative is that when they jump out of their box, some of the litter goes with them, but I've found the same problem with most litter products so it is not a big deal. I just keep a hand-vac handy so it doesn't have a chance to dig deep into I love this litter.

A winner so far
By Cat252 on Jan 11, 2021
I mixed this 50-50 with old clumping litter with the old litter on top. The two cats who were testing this for likeability also had an equally clean box of just the old kitty litter. Within 24 hrs they had used both equally. It clumps up nicely despite being mixed with a dissimilar litter. Yay. I am hoping i will find it less irritating under foot and less damaging to hardwood floors. Since its more expensive than our old litter, we will have to see how it works long term. So far we like it. Clumps nice. Pleasant scent.

Great alternative to the original formula for cats who need a soft sandy feel
By Daph on Dec 30, 2020
This is a great product. I love Okocat and am so grateful that my previous brand experienced a supply disruption a couple of years back so that I was able to discover this litter. Like the original formulation, this one clumps very well, doesn't smell, and is super lightweight. Unfortunately, it's even dustier than the original (which is very dusty itself), but one of my cats really prefers the sandy feel under his feet, so I keep a couple of boxes of this in the house as an alternative to the original formula. I think having choices also helps to avoid litter box problems, so three of this and four of the original seems to be a good solution for us. And I just wear a mask when I scoop.

Too Dusty... just not for us
By CatMom on Jan 9, 2021
I bought this litter thinking it would be a great alternative to my paper clumping litter. The cats liked it enough that they use this more than the other type of litter but then every time I add new litter to the box and whenever I remove their poop, the wood dust gets all over the area. The area where I have the litter box is covered in dust, like I have been sanding wood down. It's good since it's clumping and it covers the odor well but I'm worried about the inhalation of the wood dust over time.

love oko, but...
By kittymom on Jan 5, 2021
I love this litter. I scoop it into paper bags, it doesn't soak through and I feel better that I'm not adding clay and plastic bags to the environment. I was disappointed with this last order of it, the 2 big boxes I received wasn't the super soft like the box says. It is the chunkier stuff that comes in the "original" box. My cats aren't crazy about it. They have no choice until the next order.

ecological, can be flashed
By betslitter on Jan 9, 2021
I love that this litter doesn't leave smell at all. It actually smells like a pine tree. I can flash it in a toilet. I am not harming nature or sewer system. Only what I've heard from my friends, who recommended it, check with your cats. Since little things are very picky, some of them reject it... unfortunately. Our whole family of cats and us are really loves this product!

Inconvenient
By Melee on Jan 9, 2021
Just like the other conventional litter clay, this product makes cleaning very inconvenient. It sticks prominently like a mud. I may have used a different box for this one, but it is still not a good choice. It is a good thing to try because now I know, but yesterday whilst I was cleaning the litter box, I keep telling myself how much I regret purchasing it.

Great natural litter
By Chris on Nov 30, 2020
We’ve tried 4-5 natural litters and all of the other brands were very disappointing. Oxocat is the BEST one we’ve found and I highly recommend trying it. With the other brands that we tried, our house constantly smelled bad and the boxes would stink even with regular cleaning. The other brands were dusty, they didn’t clump & one brand even got moldy. We’ve been using the Oxocat super soft for 1-2 months and I’m impressed! I don’t know what some of the other reviewers are complaining about. I have not noticed dust from this litter and there isn’t a dust cloud when you pour it. Our house doesn’t smell bad anymore, since we started using Oxocat.
