Cat litter?
Hi, we’ve only used one thing of litter on the cat so far cuz she hasn’t been inside too long..
Just about out, and I just got some more tonight. Same brand, but this one is for multiple cat or w/e cuz we’ve got 4 little ones in there, too.
Do i need to mix the 2 first or something..
Or I know that i need to do something so that the change isn’t too strong or w/e.

I can recommend a clumpable non-scented litter. Cats have stronger noses than we do and the scented may smell good to you but the scent is obnoxiously strong to cats.
Clumpable litter clumps up where their urine or feces lie, so you are scooping out the dirty litter leaving the "clean" litter behind.
I have tried the crystals, but the crystals don’t seem to last as long as clumpable litter. After about a week of using it, it seems to loose its absorption and the urine collects at the bottom smelling like ammonia.
I use Dr. Elsey’s unscented litter that can only be found at Petsmart. If I can’t make it to Petsmart, I use Everclean Unscented.
I recommend mixing your existing litter with the new litter so the kitties can get used to it.
Good luck!
Don’t worry I change my cats litter alot and she is fine with it. If you think she will have a problem then by mixing them it shouldn’t be a problem, and it sounds like a good idea, but for me I would change. I don’t know your cat though, so it is all your call. =))
It will be fine to mix it.
If the cat it not used to the litter you could have a problem until kitty adjusts. If I understand you you have 4 inside. I would probably put out a small litter pan and mix just for the new kitty gradually adjusting it until it matches everyone elses.
That is if kitty doesn’t just use the litter. That should be the first try.
try mixing it.but alot of cats dont really care when you change it.
The cats might be okay with a sudden switch, but it might be good to keep the old litter in one box and put the new litter in a second litter box to make sure they like it. Also, read my article about fighting cat odors in your house.
