Plant-based cat litter is increasingly popular among cat owners looking for lightweight and low-dust alternatives to traditional clay litter.
However, a common complaint is that pellets or granules gradually break down into powder after repeated use.
A recent cat-owner discussion raised this exact problem, describing natural litter that disintegrated over time or became soft after absorbing a large amount of liquid.
This is only an individual consumer report, but it highlights an important product-development issue for manufacturers and private-label brands: dry dust and wet breakdown are not the same problem.
