Cat litter "Siberian cat"

Hygiene of the litter box is one of the key norms of the correct keeping of mustachioed pussies. Today, manufacturers offer a variety of products in an attempt to entice cat owners with enticing advertisements. However, the choice must be made consciously, taking into account the individual characteristics of the pet.

The Siberian Cat company began its work in 2020. The enterprise is a large production holding in the city of Novosibirsk. It is there that the raw materials for the production of products are made. The company is known as the creator of all kinds of products for pets: food, toys, and trays. A special place in the brand's assortment line is occupied by litters for cats and cats litter.

All types of products are protected by an officially registered trademark... The owners of "Siberian Cat" declare their product as 100% natural and environmentally friendly. At the same time, fillers are offered to consumers in a variety of cost categories: from economy class to premium segment.

The Siberian Cat's product line includes several types of fillers. Let's dwell on the most demanded ones.

The most common among cat owners is the woody composition. This is a granular product made from softwood. The litter is not only suitable for cats, but also for other small pets.

The filler is environmentally friendly. It is completely natural and contains no synthetic additives. There is a slight smell of pine needles.Any granules can be recyclable and quickly decompose in the natural environment.

To date, there are 3 main types of fillers in wood format from the "Siberian cat" company.

• "Forest for kittens". Fraction of granules - up to 6 mm, sold in packs of 3 and 5 liters.

• "Forest for adult cats". The granules are large - from 8 to 10 mm. The product is sold in packages of 3-20 liters.

• "Flora". The average fraction of granules is 6 mm. The product is sold in packs of 5 and 20 liters.

In the production process, the product acquires pronounced antibacterial properties... This makes it possible to use the litter for kittens, cats after childbirth and weakened animals after diseases and operations. In addition, wood filler is considered the most economical, since granules are transformed into bulk sawdust upon contact with moisture.

To maintain the hygiene of the litter box, you just need to remove them and fill up the right amount of new ones. Please note that the manufacturer accepts the possibility of recycling the wood filler into the sewer. However, it is not officially classified as biodegradable. The only drawback of this filler is the need to regularly replace the contents of the cat litter box. This should be done at least once every three days.

The lumpy filler of the Siberian Cat series is made from bentonite. By nature, bentonite clay is a powerful sorbent with a porous structure, due to which the outer shell of the granules quickly absorbs water. Wet fragments of bentonite stick to each other and form one lump, while the unpleasant smell seems to "close" inside. As a result, in one run of the animal, only those granules that have come into contact with the liquid are consumed.

In houses where several cats live, bentonite is sometimes flooded with too much water. In this case, the sorbent will absorb the liquid, then it will begin to swell and turn into a dense suspension. This leads to the appearance of white cat prints on the floor, which are not at all to the liking of the owners of the animal. To prevent this from happening, you need to control the cleanliness of the litter box.

The filler on the basis of bentonite of the "Siberian cat" company is sold in packages of various sizes:

• "Super for kittens" - in packages of 3 liters;

• "Super for adult cats" - in packages of 3-20 kg;

• "Prima" - in packages of 5 liters;

• "Extra" - in packages of 5 liters;

• "Ultra" - in packages of 3, 5, 7 liters, as well as in large packages of 20 kg.

Clay fillers have the property of reliably retaining all unpleasant odors. The water absorption of such a product fully depends on the accuracy of following the instructions for use. Very important, so that the level of the bulk litter in the litter box is at least 5 cm. This is one of the main disadvantages of the product. In addition, it is undesirable to dispose of it through the sewer. In this case, passing through the pipes, the lumps will create a difficult-to-break blockage.

Silica gel is granular silica... The filler is whitish, translucent, produced in fine fractions, the shape can be variable. Granules are formed from spherical particles stuck together. This structure gives the material a special porosity, due to which the dehydrated gel is able to absorb a significant amount of moisture in liquid and vapor form.

Silica gel fillers perfectly absorb liquid, after which they turn into gel balls. The water does not evaporate from them, the gel itself is also non-volatile.This composition is absolutely safe for cats and humans, easy to clean. Another benefit of silicon dioxide - its bactericidal characteristics.

Two types of fillers are offered from this material:

• "Elite" - in packs of 4, 8 liters;

• "Elite for fastidious animals" - in packs of 4, 8 and 16 liters.

The surface of this type of granules seems dry, so the fluffy pet is not afraid to step even on a wet ball. However, the owners of the animal need to be prepared for the fact that the cat will take time to get used to such a filler. Some pets start using it only from the second and even from the third attempt. Important: with frequent use of silica gel, the skin on the delicate paws of the animal may dry out. To prevent this from happening from time to time you need to inspect the paw pads of the cat and, if necessary, lubricate with a greasy emollient cream.

The assortment line of "Siberian cat" includes several other types of filler.

It is a sibit based filler. This stone is a mixture of lime, river sand, as well as cement and water. Additionally, anhydrides are introduced into the composition. The result is granules with a highly porous structure, due to which they absorb liquid just like wood. The stones breathe and prevent the appearance of mold and other pathogenic microflora.

The filler of the "Budget" line is made from this stone. The main advantage of the product is its affordable cost. Disadvantages include the need for frequent cleaning of the animal's tray and insufficient odor blocking. The product is sold in packages of various sizes: 3, 5, 7, 10 and 20 liters.

A separate group is made up of absorbent compounds... They are made of opoka clay or diatomite. Granules have a specific structure that allows them to absorb water in large volumes. The contents of the tray are resistant to high temperatures and acids. On contact with acidic media, it inhibits both unpleasant odor and moisture itself.

Diatomite is a siliceous rock, more than 50% composed of fragments of diatom shells. May have a loose, cemented or earthy texture. The color of the material is pale gray, yellowish or white. The origin of diatoms can be marine, a little less often - lacustrine. They contain from 75 to 98% silica.

Several fillers of the "Siberian Cat" are produced from this raw material in Novosibirsk.

• "For kittens". Small fraction - 1-2 mm, sold in packages of 3 and 5 liters.

• "Extra". Suitable for long-haired pets. Fraction - 4-6 mm, sold in packages of 3, 5, 7, 20 liters.

• "Universal"... Suitable for all types of cats. Fraction - 2-4 mm, implementation is carried out in packages of 3, 5, 20 liters.

Absorbent granules based on flask are no less widespread. They are composed of clay, sand, silicon, as well as glauconite and other minerals. Raw materials can be very different: from pale gray to almost black. The structure is fine-grained, due to which the absorption characteristics are kept at the highest level.

Opoka is a finely porous rock based on amorphous silica with an insignificant admixture of clay components, mineral spar and quartz grains, as well as skeletonized fragments of diatoms, radiolarians, or siliceous sponges. The material is often called siliceous clay; fillers of two types are made from it.

• "Comfort"... Average fraction - 3-6 mm, packages for 3-20 liters.

• "The effect". Coarse fraction - 6-10 mm, bags for 3, 5 liters.

"Effect" is very popular among owners of long-haired animals.Coarse granules practically do not stick to wool. Consequently, cats do not carry litter particles throughout the living space.

Fillers for trays of the "Siberian cat" firm have an affordable price. Therefore, each pet owner can try several varieties and determine which product will be most convenient to use.

However, according to users, the merits of the brand are not at all limited to a wide range of products and affordable prices. An important advantage for cat owners is the naturalness of the raw materials, the absence of aromatic and other synthetic additives.

Some types of fillers can be disposed of in the sewage system. This applies to woody compounds. All products of "Siberian Cat" are presented in granules with high porosity. The assortment line includes fractions of different sizes, so everyone can choose the filler in such a way that the cat does not spread it on the fur and paws.

However, users also highlight some disadvantages.

• So, fillers on a mineral and clay basis, as well as silica gel products Do not flush down the drain. In addition, they require periodic stirring during use.
• Wood fillers are free from these disadvantages. However, when they crumble into shavings, they often end up outside the cat litter. If you do not mix them from time to time, the result can be very disastrous.
• Not all cats and cats like large granules... For some, they become a toy. In addition, certain difficulties are presented by accustoming animals to silica gel, which hiss when used.
• Sibitovye fillers poorly masking odors.

In general, "Siberian Cat" is a well-known brand, the products of which are available for free sale in the widest range. Therefore, users will not have any problem purchasing such a filler.

In response to objections, the manufacturer claims that any dissatisfaction is related to the incorrect use of the product. It is important to regularly update the contents of the litter box and monitor the level of litter in the toilet. When using the product, you should be guided by the manufacturer's instructions, which is contained on each pack of "Siberian Cat".

In addition, people who are not satisfied with the quality of one type of filler can always try another. By trial and error, cat owners can always find the best option for their pet.
