How old should my kitten be to safely use silica crystal litter?

Question

How old do kittens need to be before they start using silica litter?

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

Young kittens will mouth everything and try out everything to find out whether it is edible. Therefore I would wait until they are about 3 months old before using that kind of litter. You can use shredded paper or plant based litter before that, as this will not be detrimental should it be ingested.
