Verdict

I found Petkit Mixed 5 in 1 cat litter offered great dust and odor control.

The texture is a bit softer than other tofu cat litter options on the market, and priced better.

The main issue is it can stick to the tray a bit (if not keeping up with cleaning. Does contain a little bentonite clay which may be harmful if eaten.

Overall, it’s a good litter for anyone living in small apartments or with lots of cats to serve.

Cat Preference

I tested Petkit 5 in 1 Mixed Cat Litter compared to a control cat litter (clay).

Here’s how often the litter trays were used (litter spot rotated on the second day). Our kittens had no issues using Petkit, opting to use either litter.

Whilst scooping out the litter and noted any smells. I didn’t notice any foul odor after removing feces waste, and only picked up the milky smell, which I found easy on the nose.
