If you’re fed up of picking up the cat’s litter and marching down the hall to the waste disposal then help is at hand! If the odor is making you sick, then help is at hand! Flushable cat litter provides the answer to these problems.
Flushable litter is easy to use because all you do is gather it up from the cat box and flush it straight away. No more carrying it down to waste receptacles.
This kind of litter is finer than clumping clay. It is also about 3 times costlier than the ordinary clumping clay. On the positive side, you don’t have to use as much flushing litter as the ordinary variety. If it is not available in the local area, there are plenty of suppliers on the Internet who will take your order and deliver it to your very own doorstep,
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.
If your cat doesn’t accept the flushable litter, it is worth a try to get your cat used to the new variety in a gradual way. Mix a fistful of flushable litter with the clumping clay. See whether Tabby accepts it. If so, go on increasing the quantity day by day, till one day it is 100% of the flushable variety. Don’t flush the mixture down the toilet! When it is 100% of the flushable kind, then and only then can you flush it.
Your cat may just not accept the flushable litter. Then you have no option but to continue as you are. However, if your cat gets used to the flushable litter, then you can expect an odorless and convenient experience.
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!
