Breeder Celect Recycled Paper Cat Litter, 30L (Pack of 1)

Product Information

I don’t know for sure about the eco-friendliness of the wood-based versus clay ones (does anyone else?) but I suspect (read: hope) that the former is a waste byproduct of the wood industry. It is also less likely to cause clumping issues for the cats. We’ve also tried recycled paper-based litters – they worked alright, just left the room smelling of damp paper – and if poo-free, could be composted like the wood ones.

Pellet size: It’s not often that a paper cat litter will work in a mechanical litter box because the pellets are too large. However, there are a few paper choices that have thinner, shorter pellets. Original Natural Wood Clumping Cat Litter controls odor, clumps together for scooping, and has a crumbly texture that appeals to most cats. This plant-based cat litter is biodegradable and made from sustainably sourced wood fiber giving it a faint woodsy scent reminiscent of being outside in nature.If you are on a home septic system, flushing your cat litter is just adding excess organic solids to your system. That forces it to work harder to process your waste. That can upset the balance in your system and result in an increased need for service. Instead, find out if your local compost facility can accept cat litter, or if you want to compost at home, set up a dedicated kitty compost pile. Clay cat litter - different clay types, usually bentonites (which are highly absorbent), which are dug out of the ground, compressed and dehydrated into granules. How often do I need to change paper cat litter? – Paper cat litter should be scooped at least once a day and changed completely about once a week. Paper litter needs to be changed more frequently than traditional litters, unless it is a clumping formula. If you’re using clumping paper litter, you can change it once every two weeks or so. All the selections on our list produce little to no dust. Traditional cat litter produces a cloud of dust when pouring which can aggravate respiratory issues and allergies.

When scooping, the clumps stay firmly together for disposal in the trash where the litter will eventually begin to disintegrate. The particles of this litter are bigger than traditional sand-like cat litter, so you may find that the pieces don’t fall through the slots of your scoop as easily. If your cat is accustomed to a certain type of litter, they may find a new texture or scent off-putting. As you would do with new food, we recommend a gradual transition to your new, eco-friendly litter. For example, start with 2/3 of the familiar cat litter and 1/3 of your new litter. Over time as you scoop and clean out the litter box, continue to add more of the new litter until your cat box has fully transitioned. This recommendation might impact aspects such as clumping, so defer to your new litter for guidance.Environmentally friendly: If you’re concerned about the environment, this is definitely the litter for you. Paper litter is usually made from recycled materials. It is also biodegradable, so it breaks down and won’t contribute to landfill waste.
