Which Type of Cat Litter Is Best for Indoor Cats?
When your cat never sets paw outside, their litter box becomes their entire bathroom — and your indoor air depends on it.

The best cat litter for indoor cats isn’t just about odor control.
It’s about health, cleanliness, and making sure your cat actually uses the box.
We’re breaking it all down for you to make it easy.

Key Takeaways

  • Indoor cats need low-dust, unscented litter for better air and respiratory health

  • Clumping litter makes cleanup easier and reduces lingering smells

  • Litter box placement matters — don’t just shove it anywhere

  • Some ingredients can irritate cats or even cause them to avoid the box

  • Choose fine, soft granules to avoid tracking and keep paws happy

What Is the #1 Recommended Cat Litter for Indoor Use?

Let’s be honest: no litter is perfect.
But the best cat litter for indoor cats has 3 must-haves:
clumping power, low dust, and no added scent.

So, is scented litter bad for cats? Vets consistently recommend unscented clumping litter because cats have extremely sensitive noses. Heavily perfumed litter can actually discourage litter box use. (A light scent is fine, if you really want one, no issues with that)

Clumping is crucial.
It makes scooping easier, seals in odor, and keeps the box fresh longer.

Dust-free is non-negotiable.
Indoor cats are exposed to that dust 24/7 — and so are you.

If you want a litter that meets all three?
Boxiecat Unscented Clumping Clay Litter checks every box.
(And no, we’re not naming competitors. We’re just better.)

Is It Okay to Keep a Litter Box in the Bedroom?

Short answer?
Yes — but only if you maintain it religiously.

In small homes or studios, sometimes the bedroom is the only option.


But be aware:

  • Scooping is a must — every day

  • Odors build fast in closed spaces
    Dust can settle on bedding and surfaces

Tip: Place an air purifier nearby, and use a covered litter box with a carbon filter if your cat tolerates it.

Where Should I Place My Cat’s Litter Box Indoors?

Cats love quiet, private, and low-traffic areas.
And yet, many people stick litter boxes in the laundry room or next to a noisy furnace.
Don’t do that.

Here’s where to put it:

Top 5 Indoor Litter Box Locations:

  1. Bathroom corner with good airflow

  2. Bedroom nook (last resort)

  3. Hallway closet with door propped open

  4. Spare room or office

  5. Under a table or behind a screen for privacy

Don’t place it:

  • Next to food or water bowls

  • In direct sunlight

  • Near loud appliances

  • In sealed cabinets

Here's a bit more about where to put your cat's litter box

What Makes Litter Safe and Healthy for Indoor Cats?

Cats inhale everything near their box — so you want the cleanest, simplest formula possible.

Look for:

  • No added fragrance

  • No silica dust or synthetic deodorizers

  • Natural or high-quality clay materials

  • Tight clumping that locks in ammonia

If your cat is long-haired, go with fine granules that don’t stick to fur.

If they have allergies, go unscented always.

And remember — just because a litter smells like flowers doesn’t mean it’s clean.

Top 5 Features of a Great Indoor Cat Litter

  1. Low dust: Cleaner air for you and your cat

  2. Fragrance-free: No artificial scent bombs

  3. Strong clumping: Easier scooping, less odor

  4. Soft texture: Gentle on paws, less tracking

  5. Non-toxic ingredients: Especially for curious kittens

What Cat Litter Should You Not Use for Indoor Cats?

Avoid these like cat hair in your coffee:

Heavily scented litter
Litter with visible dust clouds
Large-grain or sharp crystal litter
Non-clumping options unless advised by a vet
Litters with color dyes or chemical beads

If your cat sniffs and walks away, the litter is wrong.

Should I Move the Litter Box to Where My Cat Is Peeing?

If your cat has started peeing outside the box — listen to them.
They’re telling you something’s wrong.

Yes, you can try moving the box to their new spot.
It could be more comfortable, quieter, or feel safer.

???? Gradually shift the box back to your desired location once they’re using it again.

And clean the old spot with an enzyme cleaner to eliminate the smell completely.

How Often Should I Change My Indoor Cat’s Litter?

Scoop daily — no excuses
Full change every 7 days
Wash the box every 2–4 weeks with hot water only — no bleach or citrus

Litter Change Schedule by Type

FAQ

What is the healthiest litter for indoor cats?

One that’s unscented, dust-free, and non-toxic.

Always check local regulations and your pipe setup.

Why did my cat suddenly stop using the litter box?

Could be location, litter type, or a medical issue.

Final Tips for Indoor Cat Owners

  • Keep the litter box away from loud or busy areas

  • Clean consistently — cats will find new spots if it’s dirty

  • Choose fine-grain, unscented litter for better air and comfort

  • Use a litter mat to catch granules

  • Keep a small lidded trash bin nearby for daily scooping

My passion for animals drove me to create the company Swellee LTD.

Indeed, I was not satisfied with my cat litter and, unable to buy on the market a product

that brings me complete satisfaction, a cat litter capable of absorbing the odors of my

cat's excrements, I put myself in my head to find the untraceable.

I then spent years on numerous trips looking for a producer capable of producing a cat litter

with an exceptional absorption rate of both urine and odor. This ambition also had to take

into account respect for the environment and local populations.

After extensive researches around the world and numerous tests, I finally found the desired

quality and the factories capable of extracting and working this

precious raw material.

Today, I invite you to travel and enjoy the fruits of these many years

of this quest. You can now take advantage of it for your own

project, your own brand through several types of litter, silica,

or bentonite.

Let's start the adventure!

Silica litter consists of quartz sand mixed with

baking soda.

Silica consists of a combination of silicon and

oxygen. Silica crystals are made up of millions of

micropores that will instantly drain all the moisture

from the surface towards its center and thus have

a large urine retention capacity.

This natural product is made from very pure Silica

gel and water. This mixture is heated at high pressure according to a unique process.

This unique structure gives the Silica from Swellee

an excellent liquid absorption capacities and

allows completely neutralize odors from your cat's

litter box.

Also very economical, a bag of 1.5 kg or 1.8 kg

lasts up to a month!

Bentonite is a clay composed of a porous mineral

(clay of bentonite). It is a laminar clay resulting from

the aging of volcanic ash. On contact with urine,

the litter softens, and small clusters are formed:

the agglomeration.

The strength and speed of the litter agglomeration

depends only on the quality of the raw material

used. Rigorously selected from the plains of Inner

Mongolia,

Bentonite Swellee LTD cat litter, compared to

others Bentonite in the world, with exceptional

absorption power, whether in terms of smell or

terms of liquid

with a very strong agglomeration. Thus, only the

litter clumps are removed, and there is a lot easier

to remove them.

Bentonite Swellee LTD cat litter, therefore, saves a

non-negligible amount of unclean bedding as the

unsoiled pellets remain in the litter box or toilet and

add a small amount of litter little by little to make

the complement.
