Cat litter is not so easy to choose. After all, you need to guess which of their variety is right for you (well, your kitten, more precisely). The simplest option would be to simply check with the previous owner what good filler for the cat’s toilet he used and the first time to purchase it himself. And after you figure it out, is it suitable for your kitten or not. Well, in the event that such information was not received from the previous owner, and indeed this previous owner did not exist, then what good filler for the cat’s toilet to choose, we will tell you, or rather, after learning all the pros and cons of various fillers, you you can make a conclusion yourself. All information is given by experienced cat owners. So let's go.
What is good
cat litter? Well ... it can be arboreal. It is the cheapest type of fillers, but it has a fair amount of pluses. It consists of pellets of pressed wood and, of course, is environmentally friendly. After use, you can throw it into the toilet and, in addition, this filler is an indispensable thing when accustoming small kittens to the tray (the fact is that such a toilet is not a victim of eating kittens, in most cases). However, it has some disadvantages. For example, after getting wet, the granules break up into sawdust, which then stick to the paws of a kitten, and this may cause your house to undergo a mud attack. In addition, such a filler must often be changed if you do not want to feel an unpleasant smell in the house.
Another species is lumpy. It consists of concrete clay. Such a filler does not stick to the paws of the animal, and also remarkably retains odor. In addition, it does not have to be replaced completely - just remove the lumps formed by a special spatula, which is sold in any pet store. Such a filler is suitable for adult cats (if there are no more than two of them, because in this case you just will not have time to remove the lumps and add the filler). But it is dangerous for small kittens due to the fact that they simply can dine for them, and this can lead to it sticking to the walls of the stomach. This circumstance cannot be called favorable. Also, the filler can not be thrown into the toilet, in order to avoid unnecessary problems.
Another kind is also presented to your attention - absorbent. It consists of dust-free clay, as well as gas and porous concrete (they can also be obtained during the processing of synthetic sorbents and defective building materials). All cat's "gifts" this filler absorbs into the lower layer, thereby reliably eliminating the smell. In addition, absorption occurs evenly and without lumping. Of the minuses, one can single out their passion for "dusting", as well as a terrible smell with a complete change of filler. Throwing in the toilet is also not recommended.
The gel filler for a cat's toilet is a dried gel that resembles regular sand in composition. It has excellent absorbency. Such a filler instantly removes odor and moisture, and when used does not turn into a viscous mass. Change is extremely rare, and during this procedure you will not have to endure an unpleasant odor. In addition, it does not stick to the legs, and it looks pleasant. There is only one minus - not all cats like such fillers. They are confused by a loud crunch with a rather intimate procedure.
Well, make your choice - what a good cat litter you like. Health to you and your pets!
