Why are there small bugs in my cat's new organic litter box?

Question

I found some bugs in my cat’s litter. The we’re pretty small, but bigger then fleas. I couldn’t tell what they were, but they looked like some type of mite. I checked Billy for fleas, and his coat is clean and his feces looked normal. But I recently have changed his litter from regular to an organic compostable mix.

Mites cannot be seen with the naked eye so it's not mites, it could be bugs that got attracted by the stools and urine, they are not likely bugs that remain on your cat. just clean the litter box a little more often, this should solve the problem.
