When a kitten appears in the house, one of the primary tasks of the new owner is to train the pet in the toilet. Of great importance here is which filler the owner chooses.
Previously, a torn newspaper and sand were used for a cat's toilet. Today, the filler market is huge. Manufacturers offer a variety of types: from wood to silica gel cat litter with various flavors. Fillers make life easier for cat owners. They absorb odor, are easy to use, help to quickly accustom the purr to the tray.
It is important to understand that the kitten may not like the kitten, and then he will manage his business wherever he wants, just not into him.
What to look for
Choosing a cat litter is a crucial step. Filling in a cat tray should suit both the owner and the animal in its qualities. A good filler should be crumbly, not stick to the paws of the animal and not dust. Also of great importance is its absorbency and ability to absorb odor.
Types of filler
When choosing a filler, you need to consider what its principle of action is. There are two types: lumpy and absorbent. The first type of filler forms lumps, which are very convenient to clean with a regular scoop. But such a filling cannot be flushed into the toilet.
Absorbent filler absorbs and retains moisture, but does not change the structure. The disadvantage is that after use it is necessary to change the entire tray.
The materials from which fillers are made are also of no small importance. Today, cat fills made of wood, cellulose, clay, grain and corn, as well as silica gel fillers, are on the market. All of them have a number of advantages and disadvantages. For example, clay fillers dust and crumble into a dense mass, which is difficult to remove from the tray, and wood pellets scatter and spread from the toilet on the legs of an animal throughout the apartment.
