All about the fillers "Kotyara"

For cat owners, the choice and purchase of litter at least once became a problem and a headache. A lot of people still don't know which products are best for them. You need to understand that the filler should be convenient for the owner himself. The comfort of the cat and its characteristics must also be taken into account. One of the companies involved in the production of fillers is Kotyara. The manufacturer offers several types of products from different materials that will suit almost all pets. And all at a budget price. Read all about the fillers of this company below.

The "Kotyara" filler is made from a mixture of bentonite clays (Azerbaijani and Kurgan). Due to the content of certain minerals in these clays, the filler becomes clumpy. Simply put, the higher the content of certain minerals in the clay, the more it clumps.

The specially selected size of granules, according to the manufacturer, does not hurt pets' paws, and the filler practically does not stick to the paws and fur. Sizes of granules are from 0.63 mm to 2.5 mm.

On average, one package can absorb 2 liters of liquid. The packaging is enough for a month of use for a regular cat (weighing 3.3 kg). However, the manufacturer claims that one pack is designed for 3 weeks of use. The reason for this is simple - the manufacturer considers the average cat weight to be 4.7 kg.

Product price - from 180 to 200 rubles.

At the moment, several types of fillers are produced.

• Classical. This clumping litter for cats is completely natural and ecological. Each package absorbs up to 10 liters, the weight of the package is 4.2 kg.

• With activated carbon. Has the same composition as the classic one. The only difference is the additional component - coal. Charcoal increases the absorbency of cat litter and also absorbs odors well. You can even see charcoal in the filler - it is presented in it in the form of black pieces of various shapes. To a greater extent fights against unpleasant odor than the classic filler.

• Clumping. This filler also has clay as its main component. The main feature is that the liquid is absorbed almost immediately and a lump forms. Sold in a package of 5 kg.

• Silica gel. The base is silicon, which after processing turns into silica gel. It has a characteristic white color with various colored blotches. Has an increased level of liquid absorption and odor absorption. Requires a complete replacement a couple of times a month. Sold in 3 and 5 liters.

• Woody. It is made from fresh coniferous sawdust. Fights bacteria, has a characteristic spruce smell. It requires replacement quite often - up to 4 times a month.

• Silica Gel Extra. Also made from silicon. Has a characteristic appearance - white matte balls with a diameter of 5-8 mm. The balls are durable. Absorbs odors and liquids well. Complete replacement of the contents of the tray is required 2 times a month.

Buyers note that the filler crumbles very well (meaning classic and with coal). This helps in cases where the cat loves to dig and scatters the contents of the litter box heavily. Positive feedback was also received for such a characteristic as the speed of clumping - a lump is formed almost immediately after the ingress of liquid. Fresh lumps are plastic-like, but they will not crumble. The longer the lumps stand, the more they harden.

The opacity of the product is also noted. If it is moved outside the tray, it is easy to see and remove. The advantage is a low level of dustiness - during digging, dust practically does not rise. In general, even after being used by a cat for 24 hours, the contents of the litter box do not become a source of unpleasant odors.
