Flushing cat litter down the toilet might seem convenient, but it can harm the environment and plumbing.
Bagging the Litter
Use biodegradable bags to collect used cat litter. Ensure it's sealed tightly before disposal.
Some natural litters can be composted. However, ensure it's used for non-edible plants due to potential pathogens.
Regularly clean the litter box with soap and water. This reduces odors and keeps your cat happy.
Avoiding Harmful Chemicals
Choose cat litters without harmful chemicals. Natural options are better for the environment and your pet
Used litter can act as a deterrent for pests in gardens. However, ensure it's free from feces.
Clumping litters make it easier to remove waste, reducing the amount of litter that needs disposal.
