Overview
Kaytee's Critter Litter is a granule-form bentonite litter sold in an 8 lb bag, aimed at ferrets, rabbits and other small caged pets rather than house cats. Bentonite clay is the same base material used in many clumping cat litters, so it firms into clumps when it meets moisture, which makes potty-trained spot cleaning simple.
At under $16, it's an easy low-cost pick for small-pet owners, and the unscented formula avoids adding fragrance that can bother animals with sensitive noses. With over 13,000 ratings, it has a long track record among small-animal owners even though it shows up in cat litter listings.

Performance notes
The granule form and bentonite material are built to clump tightly once wet, which supports potty training by letting owners remove soiled clumps rather than emptying the whole tray. It's unscented, so odor control depends on regular spot cleaning rather than added fragrance.
What buyers say
With more than 13,000 ratings and a 4.4-star average, small-pet owners generally report consistent clumping and good value at this price point.
No. The product is marketed for pet ferrets, rabbits and other small animals, and its listed target species is ferret. Cat owners looking for a litter designed around cat behavior should consider a product built specifically for cats.
Does it clump?
Yes, it uses bentonite clay in granule form, which is the same material family used in many clumping litters, so it firms into clumps that can be scooped out during potty training.
Is it scented?
No, this is an unscented formula, which is a plus for small pets that are sensitive to added fragrance.
