Pretty Litter Health Monitoring Cat Litter
Pretty Litter is a silica-based, color-changing litter designed to flag urine pH shifts and blood indicators, which makes it a clear best-in-class choice for owners who want continuous passive monitoring. Its subscription model and lightweight silica formula offer predictable recurring costs and low maintenance compared with one-off purchases, and it provides more sensitive, easy-to-read visual cues than clumping health litters like Genius or bulk retail offerings like Fresh Step. Compared with alternatives such as Kit4Cat’s hydrophobic approach or an at-home test kit, Pretty Litter trades deeper diagnostic specificity for constant, low-effort surveillance that helps catch issues earlier at modest ongoing cost.
