The choice of the most suitable filler depends on many factors: cost, quality, ease of disposal, on the amount of your time, age, gender (after cats, a stronger and more persistent smell remains) and pet's needs, as well as diet (for example, if a cat loves fish, then choose a filler with maximum odor absorption). Accordingly, idealizing a particular species is difficult; it is best to entrust the choice to your pussy!
