The Ultimate Guide to Cat Litter
For cats that use litter inside, there are a few things that are important to keep in mind.
Cats are fussy when it comes to where they poop. It can’t be too close to where they eat, drink or sleep, and against a wall or in a corner makes them feel safer. They can do their business, whilst keeping a watch on one side, without worrying about someone creeping up on them from behind.
It’s really important to keep the litter tray clean and remove poop as soon as it’s deposited. Not only do cats like to keep themselves clean, but they can also carry a parasite called toxoplasmosis which is transferred through their poop, so it’s important to get rid of it as soon as possible. Humans can catch Toxoplasmosis. It’s especially harmful to pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems, and can cause fevers, headaches and muscle aches. Always wash your hands after clearing out the litter tray and if possible use gloves.
Don’t put cat litter down the toilet as it is likely to clump and clog your pipes and cause havoc with the septic tank. Always dispose of used litter in a rubbish bag and put it in the outside bin straight away.
From clumping to crystals, there are many varieties of cat litter to keep your kitty happy. One thing to look for is odour control. Bicarbonate of soda is great at doing this so look for a litter that has this or another form of odour control included in it. Our fearless leader Jazz recommends the Trouble and Trix Lightweight Litter. The odour neutralising power was beyond anything she would have expected, and convinced her anti cat litter fiancee that life would not be full of the smells of cat poop!
