A friend of mine, Amanda, is the kind of person who enjoys organic materials, natural products, and more. More than a year ago, she introduced me to World's Best Cat Litter, which was made of corn. Through her, I learned about all the chemicals that so many cat litter brands have. Most of them are not good for cats to inhale.
Shortly after, when I adopted Opi and Puck, I decided to use World's Best Cat Litter. It actually did smell better and I caught a whiff of corn when pouring it into the litter box! After several months of using it, I realized that the only thing that bothered me was that the litter "dust" would get on my cats' paws and it was visible on my clothing (when i picked them up) and especially on the couch where they take naps. The couch had to be vacuumed frequently. This made everybody in my house annoyed.
Then I was determined to find another cat litter that was using natural products. After browsing through Petsmart, I found Swheat Scoop Natural Wheat Litter, made of the obvious - wheat. I have been using it ever since! No dusty litter anywhere. The only thing that I noticed about this particular litter is that when trying to shovel the clumps of urine, it does break easily sometimes. Unfortunately, Swheat Scoop doesn't have clumping kind.
When visiting my sister a month ago, I helped clean her litter box which she used Tidy Cats or Arm & Hammer, and one whiff of it made me go "WHOA!" Smelling all the chemicals and clay was too strong for me!
Give natural litter a try! I promise you'll never go back!

Erica here- I found your blog while watching Delynne's video of her cats eating. Just wanted to say that we use Feline Pine. Katie's had quite some adventures with trying to find good natural cat litter. Meek tried to eat World's Best Cat litter...Swheat scoop was too dusty and had to chisel the used stuff off the side of the litter boxes...Fresh News cat litter: smell of urine-soaked newspaper, need i say more? Anyway...to each their own but glad u use natural cat litter :) Hope all is well with u too!
ReplyDeleteSome cats do like to eat the litter, esp wih the natural ones. Usually the case at first. Even my former dog and ferret use World Best Cat litter.
ReplyDeleteWhen using the litter with my ferret after switching from feline pine, it was hilarious to watch Hoppy diving in and swimming through it. He thinks it is his new sandbox! After doing his business in there, he no longer plays with it!
I am a strong believer in using products that is beneficial to animals and humans. Also, one that do not hurt our earth where animals and humans live on and rely on.
