I treat my two black cats like tiny, fur-covered princes (they are my sons; I am, apparently, their full-time butler), so preventative health care is nonnegotiable. My goal is to ensure their immortality—or at least a very long, very healthy life. When a friend and fellow cat parent raved about Prettylitter, I was immediately intrigued by the brand’s innovative technology. The white, crystal-style cat litter is virtually mess-free, odor-resistant, and flushable, but what really sold me is its color-changing, health-monitoring technology.

This veterinarian-approved litter shifts color when it comes into contact with urine, helping flag potential concerns such as urinary tract infections (UTIs) and even kidney issues. The formula reacts to changes in urine pH and other markers, producing visible color variations or highlighting the presence of blood.
