World's Best Cat Litter Original Series
World's Best Cat Litter Original Series is a market-leading corn-based, plant-derived product known for exceptional odor control and flushability, making it attractive for shoppers prioritizing plant-based composition and ease of disposal. Because its signature formulas are clumping, it diverges from strict non-clumping searches—yet it remains financially competitive for customers who value reduced litter usage through scoopable clumps and strong long-term odor performance.

ökocat Natural Wood Cat Litter
ökocat uses reclaimed wood fibers to deliver a low-dust, highly absorbent option that appeals to owners looking for a more natural texture and strong moisture handling for flushable non-clumping use cases. Compared with grain-based products, it tends to excel on dust and tracking reduction and can be cost-competitive over time because of its high absorbency, though pricing varies versus bulk wheat or corn litters.

Yesterday's News Original Unscented Non-Clumping Paper Cat Litter
Yesterday's News Original Unscented is a paper-based non-clumping litter prized for high absorbency and a soft texture, making it well-suited to multi-cat homes with kittens or cats with medical sensitivities; relative to clay and pellets it generates minimal dust and is very lightweight, though it typically requires more frequent full replacement than longer-lasting pellet litters. Its recycled-fiber makeup can translate to cost savings on cleanup and lower tracking-related waste compared with some perfumed or heavy mineral competitors.

Review Summary
"Buyers consistently praise Yesterday's News Original for being very low-dust, safe for kittens and post-op cats, and gentle on paws, but many long-term users find its odor control and absorption inadequate for heavy multi-cat households. It’s favored for specific needs rather than as an all-purpose multi-cat solution."
