Cat Litter
Cat litters are made from a large variety of things. It needs to be absorbent of water, and
ideally should also adsorb odours. Most
of the things we sell in bags are sold by weight, but with cat litters this is
inconsistent, with the more dense litters like the clay based Fussy Cat stating
the amount in the bag in Kilograms, but the low density paper based Breeders
Choice makers preferring to tell us their volume in Litres.
In the end, you will need to try out the litter and see if
it suits your cat.
 Fussy Cat used to be called Attapulgite. It is clay based and is fire proof and
resistant to a number of chemicals so it can be used for things like adsorbing
fat under a barbeque, or soaking up oil spills in a service station as well as
in a cat litter tray. Technically it is
a crystalloid hydrous magnesium-aluminium silicate mineral.
 Katz Korner is a wood based litter made by Laucke Mills in
the Barossa Valley of South Australia.
The litter we sell the most of is Max’s. This is made by Coprice from Rice hulls. It is approved by the RSPCA.
Breeders Choice is made from recycled news paper and is in
the form of paper pellets. It is also a
popular litter, and is used by the vet next door to our shop for her clinic
Cats.
Disposing of Cat Litter
The most common way of disposing of used Cat litter is to
put it on the garden. Some plants are
damaged by the high nutrient content of the used litter, but we have used it
for years on our Roses with good results.
