Clay cat litter is not biodegradable, and does not break down naturally over time. When it’s sent to a landfill, it can remain there indefinitely, contributing to waste accumulation. Price and availability are also important factors to consider when choosing the best bentonite cat litter. Ease of cleaning: Because clumping cat litter forms solid clumps when wet, it is generally considered easier to clean and maintain than non-clumping clay litter.
However, I have personally found it discouraging cats from pooping in a neighbor’s lawn when used without dilution.There seem to be endless amounts of clay cat litter types to choose from. Use this list of components to narrow down your options. The organic litter was not equipped to stabilize the nitrate salts and dried them to the point of ignition. Well, this was in 2014 and on Valentine’s Day, no less. Thankfully, there were no fatalities and the radiation released was not strong enough to cause environmental concern. WIPP, in spite of performing flawlessly for 15 years, was shut down after the incident and last I heard, it was supposed to reopen this year (2016). If you’re a cat owner, you’re probably familiar with clumping cat litter, especially the type made from bentonite. Bentonite is a natural material that’s been used for years in various applications, and it’s a popular choice for cat litter due to its clumping properties.
When disposing of clay cat litter, it should never be flushed down the toilet. This can cause clogs and damage plumbing systems. It may be pertinent to note in this context that clinical evidence of (suspected) bentonite toxicosis in a cat is published for the first time in the public domain by Marina as well. I think you are scaremongering unnecessarily as many millions of cats do live with clay cat litter every day of their lives and come to no harm, like mine. If bentonite clay is as dangerous as you and others seem to think, I do not believe that my cats would be as alert, fit, healthy and happy as they are. I would attach a photo if I could.
Key Facts
Wood litter, made from sawdust or wood shavings, is another biodegradable, eco-friendly alternative. Concerns that bentonite clays will “set-up” in a cat’s stomach are un-founded [sic]. Over half of the litters sold today include bentonite clay and have proven safe for cats since their introduction over fifteen years ago. In fact, the convenience of clumping clays have [sic] contributed greatly to the growth of cats as pets. In Dr. Elsey’s 25 plus years as a feline only veterinarian, he has never had a case where clumping litters have caused a problem with a cat. If they were unhappy with the scent, they would have pooped elsewhere. There was a lot of open space where the trenches used to be.
