Is scented cat litter safe for my allergic cat with skin issues?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 7 years and 8 months old

I had great advice from your side for my allergic cat,who now has skin problems that might be from his litter,(he doesn't have flees or other problems,only allergy),but the litter I used is now not available,it's produced specially for one place that now don't have it,i've red for Tigerino nuggies litter that is most similar to mine,I use only small granulated pure clay,but the new one is only with aroma,is it safe to use aromatic litter for sensitive cat,or any advice for safe litter,thank you

I would not use a litter that has an aroma on a cat who is sensitive. I am not sure if you are able to purchase this certain litter system but if you are able to the Breeze litter system is great. It has pellets, not litter and when they pee it goes to a pad underneath. https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/homepage.html/ref=nav_youraccount_ya I use this for my cat and there is no dust, no smell and no tracking. Thank you for using PetCoach.
