Japanese Cat Litter Fillers

In Japan, sustainability is taken very seriously. Japanese cat litter is considered one such product. It is safe and easy to dispose of, which is important for many cat lovers.

When choosing litter for the tray, it is worth considering the fact that the animal may not agree to go there. And it's not about finickyness, but about the composition of the product. There are times when he does not fit a four-legged pet: seals go to the toilet where they are comfortable. Ask the breeder or former owner what kind of filler he used.

A curious animal will want to taste the ingredients, especially those that emit a smell, so when buying, you need to pay attention to this too. It is common for cats to dig in the litter box, during which dust rises and settles on the floor surface.

An important factor is the price of the filler. You will have to change the tray often, and if there is more than one fluffy at home, then the use of raw materials increases several times. The frequency of replacement depends on the composition and principle of moisture absorption. Therefore, when choosing, pay attention to these points. The advantages of Japanese fillers are as follows.

• The composition contains herbal ingredients. Due to this, the filler is 100% harmless.
• The shape of the granules resembles a pyramid, which allows you not to get enough sleep during cleaning due to clumping.
• Possibility of disposal in the toilet due to the natural composition.
• It perfectly absorbs moisture, retains odor, and has an antibacterial effect.
• Low consumption: 7 liters is enough for 2 months, taking into account that one cat is kept at home.

For pets with allergic reactions and various skin diseases, Japanese fillers are the best choice. This product is good for trays if you have a kitten at home. Owners of a large family of baleen should also pay attention to the Japanese series.

The compressed wood chips, together with the granulated shavings, are popular with animal lovers. Such a filler is made from coniferous trees. Large granules are used for adult animals, and small ones for kittens. This product is relatively inexpensive, for which many people fell in love. The smell of pine needles perfectly interrupts cat odors. You can buy it at any pet store.

Wood filler has one very significant drawback: the granules quickly take the form of sand. When your pet leaves the litter box, it carries litter particles around the house on its paws. Paper filler is cheaper than wood filler. However, it is not very absorbent and does not handle specific odors very well.

Corn base copes well with liquid secretions, eliminates unpleasant odors and boasts an excellent service life. But due to their lightness, the granules stick to the paws and are carried around the house. Fillers with mineral and clay composition are considered the most common and in demand. They are flawless in absorbing moisture.

Swelling from the liquid, the granules turn into lumps, due to which the product is called "clumping". But such a filler eliminates odors badly and it causes unpleasant sensations. In addition, footprints may remain on the floor after using the toilet.

There is a filler, which is small pebbles that change color when moisture gets on them. It is made from volcanic zeolite. It is excellent at absorbing moisture and eliminating odor. You can also purchase Japanese silica gel fillings. Many believe that this variety is one of the highest quality varieties. The granules have a high degree of moisture absorption. The consumption is small. Special additives help to better absorb odors.

The disadvantages are attributed to an unpleasant sound when the pet is in the tray, and the ability to absorb moisture from the air if stored improperly. Be careful that the animal does not swallow the pellets. Otherwise, it will receive a chemical burn of the mucous membrane.

Among the various options, choosing a natural filler is not difficult. Try not to change the composition, representatives of the feline family do not like this.
