Corn litter for cat litter

If a cat or a cat lives in the apartment, you cannot do without a tray. It is used as a toilet for the animal, where it discharges its natural needs. To quickly train your pet to the litter box, it is recommended to use special litters. They are able to quickly absorb moisture and "lock in" unpleasant odors. Previously, for these purposes, improvised means, such as paper or sand, were used. Today in the store you can find many types of specialized products, for the manufacture of which various raw materials are used. This article will focus on corn fillers.

Corn cobs are used for the production of corn pellets. Their main important property is the ability to absorb large amounts of moisture. In addition, they can block the spread of unpleasant odors, which is very important when keeping cats. Corn litter for cat litter crumples up perfectly, so it practically does not spread by the pet around the apartment.

Corn filler comes in several forms. It can represent:

• pressed fractions;
• large, medium, and fine granules.

Corn granules have an increased porosity, due to which they absorb moisture like a sponge.For example, to absorb two liters of liquid, no more than 1 kilogram of filler is required. The benefits of tray corn pellets are many. Let's consider the most important of them.

1. Ecological cleanliness. The filler is made from natural raw materials. In addition, the production technology excludes the addition of various preservatives, adsorbents, dyes and aromatic substances. Due to its natural composition, the filler will not be able to harm the animal, even if the pet tastes it. Environmental friendliness allows you to use these types of pellets for small kittens.
2. Hypoallergenic... Cats and cats may experience allergic reactions to some fillers - animals begin to sneeze, cough or itch. If corn pellets are used, the pet owner will avoid all of these problems.
3. Light, pleasant and unobtrusive aroma, which will not scare the cat away.
4. Ideal for any breed of cat. Can be used as bedding for rodents.
5. Economical consumption.
6. Easy disposal - "spent" filler is allowed to be flushed down the toilet. At the same time, the risks of clogging of sewer pipes are excluded.

There are not many companies that make corn litters for cats. Let's present a rating of the most popular manufacturers.

The first place is taken by the products of the American brand Naturel. This brand makes clumping tray mixes to keep litter trays clean. For more convenient operation, the manufacturer sifts the corn pellets. Smooth particles are pleasant to the paw pads of the animal. They will not cause discomfort to the pet, even if there are cuts or scratches on the paws. Naturel corn fillers are completely biodegradable.

The second place belongs to a domestic company "The Golden Ear". She produces several varieties of products for the tray of the "Golden Cat" series. They all have an identical composition. The only difference is the look. Such fillers can be:

• crushed particles of medium and large size.

The third place in the ranking belongs to fillers World-s best. This is a novelty in the pet supplies market. These corn fillers are ideal for keeping two or more cats or cats. Made from whole grain corn. Quickly removes ammonia odor, absorbs moisture well.

Fillers made from corn cobs are recommended for trays with a side height of at least 10 cm. The shallower the depth of the container, the more likely the animals are to scatter on the floor. The filler should be covered with a thick layer (at least 5 cm).

If you have previously used a different type of filler (for example, woody, lumpy mineral, silicate), do not immediately switch to a corn mix. The animal should gradually get used to the new mixture. To do this, you must mix the corn filler with the previously used product in a 1: 1 ratio. Over time, the amount of corn granules should be increased, observing the pet's reaction.
