The choice of cat litter is a big problem! Is there any difference between different types of cat litter
I believe many cat owners have had this kind of dream: It would be great if the cat at home could squat on the toilet and go to the toilet by himself. This not only does not need to shovel the poop, but also saves money on buying cat litter. It is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. It is certainly a good thing for cats to learn to use the toilet at a designated location, but it is aggrieved by the shoveler. Whenever the owner shovels cat litter, he will be fumigated by an indescribable stench that makes him doubt his life! So, if you choose cat litter wrongly, the lives of cats and poop shovelers are not happy.
At present, there are really many types of cat litter on the pet market, some of which are proclaiming to remove odors, some are good at generating clumps, and there are even saying that they have many benefits to the cat's body. This also caused the shovelers to get confused when choosing cat litter for their cats and didn't know which one to choose.
In fact, the types of cat litter are nothing more than a few fixed types, but they are just a little processed on the inherent types. So let’s take a look at what common cat litter types are~
1. Tofu cat litter
The most popular tofu cat litter has frequently appeared on a certain sound platform, and many shovelers highly recommend it. In fact, the main ingredient of tofu cat litter is tofu dregs. Because of its ingredients, the tofu sand has very good clumping properties. It is also healthy and environmentally friendly. Even if the cat accidentally eats it, there is no need to worry about safety issues. It is almost completely dust-free, and the odor-covering effect is very good. You can flush it away directly with the toilet.
But tofu cat litter also has disadvantages: when tofu cat litter is mixed with moisture, it will have a slight bean smell, which is relatively high in price! (Too shovelers must not be greedy for convenience. If you can soluble in water, just pour a plate of cat litter off the toilet, and the toilet will eventually get blocked! The editor’s lesson of blood and tears)
2. Pine Cat Litter
The main ingredients of pine cat litter are pine, hay or corn cobs, etc. Most of the pine cat litter are long and large-grain cat litter, so it is difficult for cats to take out the litter box. Moreover, the dust is very small and has its own pine aroma. The pine cat litter can not only be washed away directly through the toilet, but also used as flower fertilizer, which is relatively environmentally friendly! It does not form agglomeration, and it will disperse after absorbing water to form a powdery shape.
There are many disadvantages of pine cat litter: I believe that many novice cat litter will choose pine cat litter at the beginning. This cat litter is big and it hurts your feet! The pine sand not only does not contain a ball, but will also turn into powder when exposed to water. Therefore, if you want to use pine sand, you must use a double-layer cat litter box! The effect of pine cat litter to modify the odor is not very good, and bacteria are easily grown in wet weather, so friends in rainy cities in the south should be careful when buying!
3. Bentonite Cat Litter
Bentonite Cat Litter is generally smaller in particles, so the cat’s feet will feel good! Bentonite cat litter is divided into long strips and ball stars. Compared with spherical bentonite, the long strips are relatively poor in clumping, but because the long strips of litter are relatively large, it is not easy for cats to take out of the litter box by cats. Because bentonite cat litter is cheap, it is still very popular among the shovelers! Disadvantages of
Bentonite cat litter: Very dust! Small particles are easily taken out of the litter box by cats, and bentonite cat litter cannot be washed away directly through the toilet. Friends in garbage sorting cities must consider carefully before purchasing!
ps: In fact, there is no perfect cat litter in this world. What cat owners can do is choose a cat litter that cats like and are harmless to the cat's body. And when we choose a cat litter, try not to change the type or brand of cat litter at will, because cats will be very sensitive to new things, and frequent replacement will make cats give up using cat litter box!
The process of replacing cat litter should be progressive step by step, so that the cat can adapt to the new cat litter! The most expensive one is not necessarily the best. Only those who are truly suitable for cats are the best ones~
