Catsan Natural Clumping Cat Litter 20 Litre Bag, 100 Percent biodegradable, extra absorbent

Product Information

A standard box of 50 x40 cm should be fine for most adult cats then (unless they’re a Coon or another big cat) and a smaller box of 40 x 30 cm should be suitable for a kitten. Here we take a look at the pros and cons of both types of litter, and why it’s important to get it ‘right’. Non-clumping litters From your cat’s perspective, going outside gives them more freedom to choose their elimination areas. It’s not unusual for kittens to eat their litter – and, for that matter, pretty much anything they can find!

Your cat’s litter tray should be about one and a half times the length of the cat from its nose to the base of its tail. This means they have enough space to move around, dig and cover. Cats don’t like sharing their litter tray with other cats, which is why you should have at least one litter tray per furry friend and ideally one spare one as well. Litter tray behaviour is a good indicator of your cat’s health. If your cat goes in, digs, eliminates and then covers urine and faeces, it’s a sign they’re in good health.

Morbi vel vehicula nibh, vitae ornare erat.You probably know that there are two main types of cat litter: clumping and non-clumping. But you might not know which is best. The truth is there isn’t a simple answer to that, and it’s about finding what’s better for you and your cat. (Mainly them, if we’re honest. We all know we’re owned by our cats and not the other way round!) It’s important to choose a litter that’s safe for your kitten as, just like human babies, kittens tend to explore the world with their mouths. This means a non-clumping, natural litter that is less likely to be inhaled or ingested. We recommend you avoid clumping litters for your kitten as it’s more likely to clump in their tummies if they do eat it. This really comes down to what you – and perhaps more importantly your cat – prefers. The only exception to this is if you have a kitten, in which case we’d always recommend non-clumping litter. This is because kittens sometimes eat their litter (and anything else they can sink their inquisitive little teeth into!) and clumping litter could clump in their stomach. The other thing which will put a cat off its litter box is if it’s a bit whiffy – cats are very clean.

Most kittens will instinctively use a litter tray from a young age, particularly if they’ve seen their mum do it. (There are lots of really important reasons why kittens shouldn’t be taken from their mothers too early, and you can add this relatively minor one to that list.) Do bear in mind that cats tend to get set in their ways so, if you’re trying a new litter, you have to mix it in gradually with their old one to give them a chance to get used to it. The golden rule to choosing cat litter Empty the litter tray and then give it a thorough wash using a mild, non-scented detergent. Avoid using any products that contain ammonia, bleach or any type of caustic ingredient.There are several different litter tray issues that could trigger an allergic reaction, from litter dust, to scent, to the plastic the tray itself is made from. The other things to bear in mind about non-clumping litters is they are less heavy to carry when you’re out shopping and some cats prefer their texture. They’re also the best litter for kittens under 12 months of age because they’re less likely to cause trouble if eaten and kittens, being curious little creatures, have a tendency to eat everything in sight! Clumping litters There are a number of reasons why your feline friend might not use their litter tray. It could be an issue with the litter tray itself. Maybe it’s too small, difficult to access or in a location that’s too busy or too close to your cat’s food? Or maybe something scared your cat while they were trying to use the litter tray? This could anything from the washing machine hitting its spin cycle to someone playing an instrument in the same room. The good news is, because Catsan™ litters are high-performing and long-lasting, there’s less to dispose of over time. If you are going for a clumping litter, try Catsan™ Ultra Plus Litter or Catsan™ Natural clumping litter. Why it’s important to get it right

Catsan Natural Biodegradable Clumping Cat Litter 20 Litre

If none of these things are the problem, you need to think about what might have affected your cat’s behaviour. Has there been a house move, a new pet or a new family member? Unneutered male cats might be marking their territory and non-spray marking can also lead to elimination outside of the litter box. Cats are very clean so if they’re weeing or pooing outside their litter tray, it could well be because their litter tray isn’t clean enough for them. Once you know it meets your cat’s exacting standards, think about other things that might be putting your cat off. Is the litter tray positioned somewhere too busy? Is it too small for your cat to turn around in and dig? Have you recently changed your cat litter? We’ve spent four decades perfecting our ‘recipes’ and are proud of the high-quality, natural ingredients we use. These vary across the range. Catsan™ Hygiene litter, for example, is made with lime and white quartz, and Catsan™ Natural litter is made with a by-product of wheat milling that would otherwise go to waste. Automatic cat toilets can save owners hassle and time by doing the daily cleaning so you only have to empty the storage compartment about once a week (depending on capacity). As most automatic cat toilets have a hood, this, in addition to the self-cleaning cycle, can result in less dust and odours. Some cats actively dislike the noises they make though. With clumping litters the clue is in the name! They form a solid clump around urine or faeces so that you can just remove that without having to empty the entire litter tray (make sure you top up with extra litter to make up for what you’ve removed). This means you can do a thorough clean of the litter tray less often, although it’s important to remember that cats are fastidious about cleanliness and have a highly-developed sense of smell. This means you need to keep their litter tray in tip-top shape.

Kittens should not be separated from their mothers until they are at least eight weeks old, and preferably 10 -12 weeks old.

Assuming you’ve got an adult cat, the biggest difference between clumping and non-clumping litter is the cleaning routine. Non-clumping litters, such as Catsan™ Hygiene litter, absorb a large volume of liquid. This means, as long as you remove faeces daily, the litter tray will stay fresh for approximately a week. Once a week, you’ll need to empty the litter tray completely and fill it with new litter. Cats are very clean animals with a highly developed sense of smell so it’s important to keep things just so. Scooping the litter box at least once a day and then giving it a thorough clean and fresh litter once a week is a good guideline, but there are lots of factors to take into account. You’ll have a different cleaning routine if you use clumping or non-clumping litter, for example, and you’ll obviously need to do more litter tray changes if you have more than one cat. You might also want to change the litter more often depending on where it is in your home, particularly if it’s in your kitchen (although do bear in mind that cats have a very strong sense of smell so they’ll want a nice fresh litter tray even if it’s placed somewhere where whiffs don’t bother you as much). It is true that a kitten’s metabolism is different to an adult cat’s (just like a human baby is very different to a human adult). However, if your kitten starts peeing a lot more than normal or having lots of accidents, it might be that they have a urinary tract problem or some other medical issue. If you’re at all concerned, talk to your vet.CATSAN™ NATURAL Clumping litter has a natural cereal-like scent, comfortable granulation for sensitive paws, and is completely biodegradable. And most important of all, its performance and odour-control are as good as that of mineral clumping litters. How it works
