Every cat owner needs to buy kitty litter on a regular basis, but if ordinary kitty litter isn’t working for your cats, you might want to search for alternatives. Besides kitty litter made from recycled newspaper, there’s also another environmentally-friendly alternative kitty litter made from walnut shells.

While being just as absorbent as traditional kitty litter, walnut kitty litter also lacks the dust found in most types of kitty litter. Just keep in mind that because walnuts are nuts, there’s the risk of allergic reactions with both you and your cat, so check out walnut litter before committing to buying a large bag.

Who knew owning a cat could give you so many choices with something as mundane as litter? Because cleaning up after your cat is your cat’s way of letting you know who’s really in charge.
