Now You Can Flush (Your Cat’s Mess!)

Marketers are addressing the problem that you face as a cat lover. The odor that emanates from your cat’s litter just lingers and lingers, and then you are left with the job of having to pick up the litter from the box and dispose of it. However a newer product on the market, flushable cat litter, helps to rid you of both these issues.

Flushable cat litter is laid in the litter box like ordinary litter. Whenever the cat uses the litter box, you can gather up the flushable litter and flush it down the hatch!

This type of litter is finer than the conventional clumping variety. It is costlier too, if you consider it pound for pound. But you really don’t have to use as much of it as the ordinary variety, and so the usage cost is pretty reasonable. Even if it is not locally available, you can always have it delivered to your doorstep, thanks to Internet shopping!

On the question of environment-friendliness, both are detrimental to the environment. One is disposed of in a landfill; the other makes sewage and wastes water.

But before dumping the clumping clay, you ought to make sure that your cat likes the flushable litter. Most cats find it strange, and don’t use the litter box with flushable litter. So keep watching your pet and the litter box to find out what your pet thinks of the new litter.

It will be best if you introduce your cat to the flushable litter gradually. Just mix a little of the new kind to the cat box, and increase the amount day by day, till finally the whole box is filled with the flushable variety. Don’t try to flush the mixture of the clay litter and the flushable litter! Wait till the cat is using 100% flushable, before actually flushing the stuff away.

If your cat does not like using the flushable litter, you will have to go on as usual. If Tabby accepts it, then you can say goodbye to that horrible stench, and the walks to the waste receptacle.

The damage to the environment is similar whether you use the clumping clay or the flushable litter. You will definitely prefer the flushable litter to the ordinary variety. But you will have to go by what your pet says in this matter!

Another great solution, but also a more costly one, is to invest in an automatic cat litter box. Go to www.CatLitterBoxesPlus.com to read about all your cat litter choices. You’ll discover why clumping cat litter remains the most widespread choice on the market today.
