U.S.-based veterinarians, what is your opinion on grass seed litter for cats? How can cats (and pet parents) benefit from using grass seed litter? Are there any cons to grass seed litter? When it comes to cleaning grass seed litter, how often should the litter box be cleaned/scooped? What’s the best way to dispose of it? Can it be flushed?

I've seen a lot of different cat litters come and go, and grass seed litter is one that's been catching on lately. It's pretty good for folks looking for a natural option. It's biodegradable and typically lighter than clay litters, making it easier to handle, plus the smell isn't as harsh. Cats usually take to it well because it’s soft on their paws. But grass seed litter isn't perfect. It might not control odors as long compared to some other types, and it’s not always the best at clumping, which can make cleaning a bit trickier. For scooping, you'd wanna do it at least daily — that keeps things fresh and avoids any nasty buildup. As for disposal, eh, it's biodegradable but chucking it in the toilet isn’t a great idea; it's better to toss it in the trash or compost it if you can. Just a regular check and clean keeps everyone happy and the house smelling pretty decent too!
