All About Soy Fillers

Finding cat litter is not easy. You should focus not only on the price and quality, but also on the preferences of the cat itself. Soy filler has become increasingly popular in recent years. Let's figure out how it attracts the owners of the tailed beasts.

Soy clump filler is a pellet made of biodegradable soy fiber. When moisture gets in, the granules are combined into one lump, which is easily pry off with a scoop and thrown into the toilet. The advantages of this product include the following factors:

• high hygroscopicity: a minimum number of pellets is required to absorb a large amount of moisture;
• blocks the smell of cat urine, "locking" it inside the lump;
• it is a biodegradable material, so you can safely throw it into the sewer and not be afraid of blockages;
• the granules are large and heavy, therefore they do not stick to the cat's paws and do not spread throughout the apartment;
• well accepted by cats, suitable for the first litter box, that is, for training kittens to the litter box.

There are few disadvantages of such a filler. For example, some manufacturers make soy products that are not very effective at blocking odors. Also, some fillers can become dusty.

Take a look at the following brands of soy fillers.

• Hakase Arekkusu. The Chinese brand offers products with green tea, coffee or peach aromas, as well as no aromatics. Available in packs of 6 and 10 liters. Absorbs odor well, quickly rolls into a lump.

• "Siberian cat Tofu". Russian analogue of the previous version. Offered in the same flavored versions. According to buyers, it almost does not produce dust, and the granules themselves are quite weighty in comparison, for example, with stone filler, so the cat cannot scatter it all over the toilet.

• Cat Step Tofu Original. Sold in containers of 6 and 12 liters. Judging by the reviews, it is slightly dusty. It is noted that when liquid enters, an uneven and non-circular lump is formed, which is more convenient to remove with a scoop with large holes so that all large pellets remain in the tray.

• Lucky Cat Tofu. It does not get dusty, easily flushed down the toilet, does not stick to the paws, however, it does not always restrain the smell of urine, therefore it is required to lay it in a thick layer (6-7 cm), respectively, the consumption increases.

• "Territory of the cat". May be offered in a 20 kg bag. Ingredients —100% dried tofu. It retains moisture well, quickly dissolves in water, therefore it is quickly washed off. Has green granules. Receives high consumer reviews.

When buying cat litter, follow these guidelines.

• If your cat has an allergy, then opt for a non-flavored soy filler. However, in most cases, even soybean flavored granules are of natural origin and safe for allergic animals.
• When choosing a filler with a scent, pay attention to a product with a lavender scent. It is unobtrusive and felt only when wet, but it masks the smell very well.
• If a kitten has settled in the house, then also give preference to soy options: they will not harm the baby, even if he starts eating pellets.
