Are Natural Cat Litters Better Than Tidy Litter

Posted February 2nd, 2009 by admin

Let’s take a look at a few of the advantages and disadvantages of Tidy Litter and natural cat litters.

Starting with Tidy Litter:

• It’s convenient and easy to purchase
• It’s quite heavy to carry, so you’ve to be careful you don’t injure your back
• It’s not a green, planet-friendly product, nor is it biodegradable
• It can enlarge to 15 times its original size, meaning it’s harder to get rid of
• Over time, it piles up into billions of pounds of non-degradable waste
• It will track throughout your house, especially as it’s not silica dust-free
• There is nothing in this product to control the urine odors
• Its texture isn’t particularly soft, so it will be harder on your cat’s feet
• It’s only really suited to single cat households
• It contains poisonous ingredients, so you have to be careful that your cat (or any other pet) doesn’t consume it
• It is not very long-lasting, so you will need to top up supplies frequently

On the other hand, natural cat litters are much different:

• They’re convenient and easy to purchase
• They tend to be quite lightweight, which places much less stress on your back when you have to carry it
• They’re green, and also biodegradable
• They don’t expand to up to 15 times their original size, which means it’s much easier to dispose of it
• They consequently don’t accumulate into billions of pounds of non-degradable waste, choking the landfill sites
• They are silica dust-free and no or low tracking as well
• They have super urine control properties
• They have a soft texture, which makes them easy on your cat’s or kitten’s feet
• They work really well for multiple cat households
• They are not poisonous, even if consumed
• They will last longer, meaning you don’t need to buy cat litter as often
