There are a multitude of kitty litters to choose from, but many contain toxic chemicals and respiratory irritants, as well as cause harm to the environment. Fortunately, there are some great, natural, healthy options, listed here courtesy of www.onlynaturalpet.com:
CORN-BASED LITTERS (such as World’s Best):
Safe, Flushable and All-Natural
• Made of whole-kernel corn, a renewable, biodegradable and all natural material.
• Corn is edible so it will not cause harm if ingested by your pet.
• It is safe for kittens, infection-prone cats, and cats recovering from surgery.
• The flushable formulas are septic tank and plumbing friendly.
• 99% dust free so it won’t cause the respiratory problems for cats and owners often associated with clay and silica litters.
• Better for the environment than clay because it is grown as a renewable crop, not extracted from quarries that permanently scar the earth.
Controls Odor Naturally
• Micro-porous structure quickly absorbs ammonia and urine odor without perfumes or chemicals.
• Clumps well and is “scoopable” almost immediately after your cat leaves the box.
• Moisture quickly combines with natural starches in the corn to solidify and neutralize odor.
Great for Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes
• Will not stick to the bottom of the box or gunk up mechanical litter box cleaners.
Helps Prevent or Remedies Litter Aversion Syndrome
• Studies have shown that World’s Best Cat Litter’s soft “dig”-able consistency and odor-trapping qualities improve litter box aversion in a majority of cases.
