Alternative Cat Litter and Litter Boxes

Environmentally Unfriendly Kitty Litter

Cat owners everywhere…LISTEN UP! You may not know this, or it may simply be something you overlooked, but……Some kitty litters can be down right horrible for the environment. It is estimated that around 1/3 to 1/2 of the worlds population have cats as pets. Think about how many little kitties are running around out there, and think also about how much kitty litter is tossed in the garbage every day! Dumped in landfills, cat litter takes up quite a bit of space! Aside from filling landfills, the traditional clay varieties of cat litter come from clay that is obtained through strip mining. Strip mining employs the use of giant machines which rip apart giant areas of the planet…leaving unsightly and unrepairable gouges in the earth. There are alternatives to using conventional cat litters.

Alternative Cat Litters

Alternative kitty litters are usually made from plant matter and could be any one of, or a combination of wheat, alfalfa, corn cob, peanut hulls, recycled newspaper, or a number of other organic materials.

• Natures Logic Cat Litter – Nature’s Logic™ Cat Litter is made from 100% all natural Ponderosa Pine. It does not contain silica particles found in typical clay litters. It is virtually dust free and is safe for cats, kittens, and other small mammals.
• Swheat Scoop Cat Litter – If you think a scoopable litter has to be loaded with clay and chemicals to clump and control odor, you’re in for a surprise! Swheat Scoop® litter is made from naturally processed wheat, which means it’s clay free, chemical free, fragrance free and biodegradable. Mouse around here a while, and we think you’ll agree — this litter is naturally better.
• Worlds Best Cat Litter – Our scientists made a major discovery: the highly absorbent proteins and fibers found naturally in corn actually bind cat urine and odor molecules in the litter. So, we developed a patented process that turns corn into a natural litter.
