Can't afford cat litter. What can I do instead?

1. If there is no cat litter at home, you can temporarily replace it with sand or waste paper. Cat litter is an object used by owners to bury feces and urine for their cats. It has good water absorption, and is usually used together with a cat litter basin (or cat toilet). A proper amount of cat litter is poured into the cat litter basin, and a trained cat will walk into the cat litter basin when it needs to be excreted.

2. The most important progress in cat culture is the use of cat litter. In the early days, cat litter was mainly non-condensable cat litter, which was mainly used to store cat droppings. However, with the continuous progress of cat litter technology, people are not limited to the simple storage, so condensed sand, wood sand, crystal sand, bentonite sand and so on are constantly appearing.

Cat litter can be replaced by ordinary silt. In the eyes of cats, there is no difference between clay and bentonite cat litter. But the function of cat litter is to deodorize, absorb water and agglomerate. Sediment can't agglomerate and deodorize. Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of common cat litter. The shovel officer can refer to it and decide what cat litter is suitable for his cat.

1. Bentonite cat litter

Bentonite cat litter is large and cheap, which is similar to the appearance of sediment. Many cats like the feeling of stepping on bentonite cat litter. Bentonite cat litter has good water absorption, and it can agglomerate after absorbing cat urine, which ordinary silt can't do. However, the bentonite cat litter dust is relatively large, cats will plane the cat litter after excretion, and the bentonite dust will float to the furniture, and cats often have the smell of soil. Long-term use of bentonite cat litter may affect the cat's respiratory tract.

2. Crystal cat litter

Crystal cat litter has good water absorption and deodorization. After cats excrete in crystal cat litter, crystal cat litter will quickly absorb urine, and the smell will be less. However, crystal cat litter does not agglomerate, so the owner needs to clean the cat's stool, which is not as convenient as the agglomerated cat litter. However, some crystal cat litter is not healthy. Some cats are not good for their health if they eat crystal cat litter, and the particles are too big to get stuck in their throats. The shovel officer needs to keep an eye on the cats.

3. Tofu cat litter

Tofu cat litter is soluble in water, which is easy to clean, light in weight, easy to carry and easy to agglomerate. The shovel officer only needs to wait for the cat to excrete, shovel out the clumped cat litter and flush it into the toilet, instead of taking out a bag of cat litter for disposal. Miaoxiang Tofu Cat litter is lighter than bentonite cat litter, and the shovel officer can move upstairs without too much effort. Tofu Cat litter is made of fresh tofu residue. If a cat is playful and eats one or two tofu cat litter by mistake, the shovel officer need not worry too much, but the cat still needs to go to the pet hospital for treatment if it continues to eat too much cat litter, and the shovel officer also needs to educate the cat, because it is a bad habit for the cat to eat cat litter.
