A careful introduction gives you time to see whether the new material suits your cat before you replace the familiar litter completely.<\/p><h2>Change one thing at a time<\/h2><p>Keep the usual box and its location while introducing a different litter. Buying a new box, moving it and changing the litter at the same time makes it harder to identify what your cat dislikes. Choose a calm period when you can watch the box routine.<\/p><p>If you have just brought a cat home, ask which litter it has been using. Start with that familiar option while it settles in, then consider a change later.<\/p><h2>Different materials? Offer a separate box<\/h2><p>When moving between tofu pellets, bentonite granules and silica gel crystals, a practical approach is to keep the familiar litter available and offer the new material in a second box. Place it in a quiet, accessible spot away from food and water. Let your cat explore without putting it into the box or holding it there.<\/p><p>Separate boxes also let you follow each product\u2019s care instructions. Clumping tofu and bentonite need urine clumps removed; non-clumping silica gel needs a different routine. Mixing them makes it harder to judge absorption and remove used litter correctly.<\/p><h2>A gradual change within the same litter type<\/h2><p>If the two litters have similar materials and care instructions, and the packaging allows it, you can introduce a small amount of the new litter into fresh familiar litter. Increase the new proportion gradually only while your cat continues to use the box comfortably. Keep cleaning as usual.<\/p><p>There is no deadline your cat has to meet. If it hesitates or avoids the mixture, return to the last accepted arrangement or offer separate boxes. Do not remove the familiar option just to make the cat use the new one.<\/p><h2>What this means for KittyClean<\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/speli.ee\/lv\/product\/kittyclean-tofu-cat-litter-natural\/\">KittyClean Tofu Natural<\/a> is a plant-based clumping option. The tofu range also includes <a href=\"https:\/\/speli.ee\/lv\/product\/kittyclean-tofu-cat-litter-with-green-tea-extract\/\">green tea extract<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/speli.ee\/lv\/product\/kittyclean-tofu-cat-litter-with-activated-carbon\/\">activated carbon<\/a> variants. Even within one range, watch your cat\u2019s response to the new variant.<\/p><p>If your cat is accustomed to fine clay granules, <a href=\"https:\/\/speli.ee\/lv\/product\/kitty-clean-compact-plus-bentonite-clumping-cat-litter-5l\/\">KittyClean Compact Plus bentonite<\/a> offers a different texture from tofu pellets. <a href=\"https:\/\/speli.ee\/lv\/product\/kitty-clean-silica-gel-cat-litter-6l\/\">KittyClean silica gel<\/a> changes both the texture and the cleaning routine. For these material changes, start with separate boxes.<\/p><h2>Watch use, not just curiosity<\/h2><p>Sniffing or stepping into the new box is a useful first step, but regular use of the litter box is the real test. Notice which box your cat uses and whether it digs, goes to the bathroom and leaves normally. Keep the familiar litter until the new option is being used reliably. In a household with several cats, check each cat\u2019s preferences.<\/p><p>If your cat starts going to the bathroom outside the box, do not punish it or assume the litter is the only cause. Restore the familiar setup and seek veterinary advice about a sudden or repeated change in bathroom habits.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/speli.ee\/lv\/which-cat-litter-should-you-choose-tofu-bentonite-or-silica-gel\/\">Compare KittyClean litter materials \u2192<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/speli.ee\/lv\/how-to-use-cat-litter-and-when-to-replace-it\/\">Read the litter care and replacement guide \u2192<\/a><\/p><p><small>Product information: KittyClean.
