Cat litter was invented in the 50s. This simple invention has become a means of control over freedom-loving pets and the desire to bind the cat even more to the house.
People who value home comfort and are worried about the cleanliness of the room, but cannot live without pets, prefer to start cats, very clean animals that can use the toilet.
Wonderful fluffy creatures are very scrupulous in matters of personal hygiene. This is manifested from the first days of life. Cats-moms lick their tummies and the area under the tail of their newborn kittens, thus helping to empty the intestines of the babies, eating what the kitten does. When the kids grow up, they crawl away from the litter to make their toilet work. The next step is to imitate mom, the kittens watch her and start going to the toilet where the cat goes.
On the street, cats dig a hole in the sand or soil for toilet work, and then sprinkle it on top. There is a version that this is done in order to hide the smell from enemies - predators and other cats. Cat litter has a similar function, imitating the natural skills of cats. However, there is one small inconvenience, cats in the wild do not use one place for their needs twice, which is projected on the toilet at home. Quite often, pets prefer to use toilet filler once, requiring its immediate replacement with fresh one. Sometimes cats use filler two or three times. If the filler is not replaced, pets can express their protest in the form of leaving "surprises" in other places. You should never use deodorant or other fragrance in places where there is a cat toilet. This can scare your pet for a long time and seriously from the location of the tray with the filler, and even from the items themselves.
What kind of stuff do cats like? The ideal place for toilet work is sand and loosened earth. Therefore, tactile sensations are very important for cats. If the filler feels like a pet, this is ideal for filling the tray.
What kind of stuff do cat owners like? The owners of freedom-loving pets have their own preferences in relation to cat litter fillers. The fact that they most often coincide with the wishes of cats is good. Fillers should very well absorb waste, neutralize odor. It is worth paying attention to the fact that a kitten will get used to what kind of filler, such a filler will most likely have to be bought in the future.
It is very important to choose a comfortable toilet for your pet. The online pet store presents a wide assortment of cat litter , a different form and with various height of sides. Now closed toilets with a filter are also produced, which prevent the spread of unpleasant odors and allow you to keep the room clean, preventing the spreading of filler.
A cat may refuse to use the toilet for several reasons:
- not satisfied with the location of the tray;
- do not like the filler;
- the tray is not well washed;
- the tray is too thoroughly washed, the smell of the cleaner is preserved;
- another cat already used the toilet;
- health problems.
Each pet has its own preferences regarding cat litter. In order to teach a kitten to the toilet, you can install two trays with different fillings, and the kid will choose which one he likes more by touch and smell. If there are two cats in the house, each must have its own personal tray, since these pets do not tolerate public toilets.
The choice of cat litter is a serious and responsible matter. For some owners of these furry pets the main issue is the price, for others - the lack of smell, for the third - hygiene. In any case, the choice remains for the pet.
There are several types of fillers: wood and mineral granulated, absorbing and clumping, and fillers that have recently appeared on the pet market in Ukraine - silica gel. Each filler has its own advantages and disadvantages. The main disadvantage of lumping fillers is that when a cat comes out of the closet, small particles remain on its paws, which the animal licks, which can lead to health problems. To avoid such problems allow silica gel fillers.
Due to their high hygienic characteristics, silica gel cat litter does a good job with a persistent unpleasant odor.
