Quickly Let You Know What Is The Best Cat Litter to Use?

Knowing how to use cat litter to go to the toilet is one of the cats’ natures that love to be clean. Cats love to be clean among pets. However, if you want to keep the good nature of your cat, choosing the right cat litter is very important! So what kind of cat litter is good and how to choose? Next, let’s analyze it.

Standard 1: pH value

Nowadays, a wide variety of cat litter appears on the market. In addition to the most classic bentonite kitty litter, there is also various new kitty litter such as tofu kitty litter, pine wood kitty litter, and crystal kitty litter.

The pH value is the best detection method. Generally speaking, pH 8-10 is a reasonable range. If the pH is above 10, the cat litter dust may burn the esophagus or respiratory tract of people and cats. We can test by buying test strips. If it is really inconvenient, we can rub the dust in the palm of the hand and let it stand for 10 minutes before flushing. At this time, if there is a burning sensation in the hand, it means that this cat litter is not good.

Standard 2: Water content

Cat litter is generally low in water content, and cat litter with high water content is easy to cause dust. The problem is that although normal manufacturers will dry the cat litter before leaving the factory, this is the most costly step in the production of cat litter. In order to reduce costs, many unscrupulous manufacturers will use sunlight to dry. The result of this is of course very bad, the cat litter will become sticky and easy to stick to the soles of the feet. Cat litter with too high water content will pulverize after a long time. It will easily disintegrate into powder when touched by hand.

Standard 3: Adsorption capacity

The adsorption function of cat litter is the key to deodorization, which is much more useful than the deodorants and various spices added later. However, the adsorption capacity is related to the ammonia content in the kitty litter, and it is difficult for ordinary households to test it without professional tools. The best way is to take a small cup of kitty litter, put it in a refrigerator with food, and take it out after a day of refrigeration. If the kitty litter has the smell of being absorbed into the food, it proves that the adsorption capacity of this kitty litter is normal. Has a good deodorizing function.

Standard 4: Fragrance

Now the main cat litter is a fragrance. The source of these fragrances is nothing more than natural plant flavor and artificial essence. However, too strong a scent can paralyze a cat’s nose. Making them less sensitive to smell, and people generally go for the natural scent. How can you tell the source of the scent? The simple difference between buying a bit of kitty litter and leaving it behind for a while is that the chemical flavors will last longer than the botanical flavors. The benefits of natural fragrances are not only harmless to cats. But they also mask the smell of cat poop, which is also a good option.

Finally, let’s take a look at the most commonly used bentonite, tofu and pine wood kitty litter.

Bentonite cat litter

It should be the most used kitty litter, cheap, strong coagulation, but easy to stick to the bottom. The particle size of the litter is in line with the natural habits of cats. It is loved by them, but a poor shoveling technique can raise a lot of dust. Choose to buy a well-known kitty litter of big brands. This litter has improved many disadvantages of bentonite kitty litter. As for dust, bentonite kitty litter is 99.6% free of dust, and it can lock odor and urine, effectively inhibit odor diffusion, and effectively eliminate odor. In addition, after several particle screening, the diameter of each bentonite kitty litter meets the standard, effectively reducing the amount of removal.

Tofu cat litter

It has strong water absorption, a fast condensation rate, not easy to stick to the bottom, less dust. Cleaning is not easy to break. But also can be directly flushed into the toilet, very environmental protection. Pleasant bean curd smell, the disadvantage is that the price is more expensive than bentonite sand. There are also some cats that do not like tofu kitty litter, according to the cat’s preferences to choose.

Pine cat litter

It is expensive, adsorption capacity and condensation capacity is poor, is not an agglomerated type of cat litter. If the production technology is not enough, some will have the taste of sawdust. Use with a double litter pan, preferably with a pet urinal or newspaper on the bottom. Remove the feces and remove the sawdust on the bottom.
