We're a team of passionate cat lovers dedicated to helping Australian pet owners make informed decisions about cat litter.
Cat-Litter.au was born in 2024 from a simple frustration: finding reliable, Australian-focused information about cat litter was nearly impossible. As cat owners ourselves, we spent countless hours researching litter box solutions, reading conflicting reviews, and testing product after product in our own homes. We knew there had to be a better way.
What started as a personal quest to find the perfect litter for our own finicky felines quickly evolved into something bigger. We realised that thousands of Australian cat owners faced the same challenges—navigating between clumping and non-clumping formulas, understanding the difference between bentonite clay and silica gel crystals, or figuring out whether tofu-based litters actually worked as advertised.
Our team brings together expertise in pet care, veterinary science, and environmental sustainability. We've personally tested over fifty different cat litter products in Australian conditions, from the humid summers of Queensland to the dry heat of South Australia. We understand that what works in American homes doesn't always translate to Australian households, which is why every product we feature is evaluated specifically for our climate, our cats, and our lifestyles.
What drives us every day to help Australian cat owners
We test products ourselves and provide unbiased information. We'll tell you the drawbacks of a product just as readily as we'll highlight its strengths. Your trust matters more than any affiliate commission.
We understand the unique needs of Australian cat owners—from our specific climate conditions to the products available in our local market. Every recommendation is tailored for Aussie households.
We're committed to highlighting eco-friendly options wherever possible. From biodegradable litters to sustainable packaging, we believe caring for our cats shouldn't harm the environment.
At the heart of everything we do is a genuine love for cats. We prioritise products that are safe, comfortable, and contribute to the health and happiness of your feline companions.

Our testing process is thorough and practical. When we evaluate a cat litter, we don't just read the label—we use it in real homes with real cats. Each product goes through a minimum two-week testing period where we assess clumping ability, odour control, dust levels, and tracking. We note how our cats respond to the texture and scent, because ultimately, if your cat won't use it, it doesn't matter how good the product claims to be.
We also consider factors specific to Australian life: how the litter performs in high humidity, whether it's readily available from local retailers or requires expensive shipping, and how the price compares to similar products in our market. We believe in transparency, which is why we clearly disclose our affiliate relationships and never let them influence our honest assessments.
When you read an article on Cat-Litter.au, you can trust that it's been researched thoroughly and written with your best interests in mind. We don't publish thin content or rehash manufacturer marketing claims. Every guide, comparison, and recommendation comes from genuine expertise and hands-on experience.
We're constantly updating our content as new products hit the Australian market and as we gather more long-term data on the products we've already tested. Cat care is an evolving field, and we're committed to keeping our information current and relevant. If you ever have questions or want to share your own experiences, we'd love to hear from you—after all, our community of cat lovers is what makes this work worthwhile.
