Plant litter, like corn, pine or wheat, skips clay, and this pick is unscented, with no artificial perfumes in the maker’s words. Cornell’s feline experts say most cats prefer unscented litter.

Stainless steel resists scratching, and the study’s authors note that wear-resistant materials like it stay more hygienic with use. One steel box can outlast a string of plastic ones.
Good to know before you buy
- Steel bowl: Wash bowls daily. If acne persists, see your vet.
- Unscented plant litter: Switch gradually so your cat accepts it. Keep litter dry.
- Stainless steel litter box: Pick plain steel rather than a ‘nonstick coated’ version, and wash it with mild unscented soap.
