What is cat litter?

Cat litter is an object used by owners to bury feces and urine in their cats. It has good water absorption and is usually used together with a litter box (also known as a cat toilet). An appropriate amount of litter is poured into the litter box, and trained cats will enter the litter box to discharge it when needed.

The most important advancement in cat culture is the use of cat litter. In the early days, cat litter was mainly made of non setting litter, mainly for storing cat litter. But with the continuous advancement of cat litter technology, people are not limited to simple storage, so there are constantly new types of solidified sand, wood sand, crystal sand, bentonite sand, and so on.

Generally, cat litter is made by beating pulp into small particles to simulate sand and provide water absorption. There are also particles that use physical desiccants such as silicone. Usually, chemical products such as deodorants/preservatives are added to cat litter. When it comes into contact with water, it will solidify into blocks. Although it is easy to clean, it is recommended to use a specialized spatula. Most litter cats will get on their feet and carry them to other places after stepping on them, so please pay attention to cleaning them regularly.
