Tidy Litter vs. Natural Cat Litter

Let’s have a look at some of the pros and cons of natural cat litters and Tidy Litter.

Starting with Tidy Litter:

• It’s convenient and easy to purchase
• It’s quite heavy to carry, which means you’ve to be careful you don’t hurt your back
• It’s not a planet-friendly, green product, nor is it biodegradable
• It can expand 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 all over your house, especially as it isn’t silica dust-free
• There is nothing in this product to control the urine odors
• Its texture isn’t particularly soft, which means it will be harder on your cat’s feet
• It’s only really suited to single cat households
• It contains poisonous ingredients, so you must be make sure that your cat (or any other pet) doesn’t consume it
• It is not very long-lasting, so you will need to make frequent visits to the stores to buy more

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

• They’re convenient and easy to purchase
• They tend to be quite lightweight, which places much less stress and strain on your back when carrying it
• They’re both green and biodegradable
• They don’t expand to up to 15 times their original size, which means it’s much easier to dispose of it
• They therefore don’t accumulate into billions of pounds of non-degradable waste, clogging up landfill sites
• They are low or no tracking, and they’re silica dust-free
• They have super urine control properties
• They have a soft texture, making them easy on your cat’s or kitten’s feet
• They work really well for multiple cat households
• They are not poisonous, even if ingested
• They will last longer, necessitating fewer trips to the stores

We recently looked at several brands of natural cat litter. It is really terrific that there are so many choices available now. Until now, we were only able to buy clay-based cat litter from the grocery stores. Today there are a few brands of green cat litter that are completely biodegradable. That means eco-friendly – just what we like.

Now, you have some terrific choices that are great for the environment and won’t make your cats sick.

Please try out these new cat litters because the traditional clay-based litters cannot be reabsorbed into the ground and just accumulate into billions and billions of pounds of waste. Strictly speaking, clay-based litters never biodegrade because they cannot be absorbed or broken down by the organic environment. Now is the time for planet-friendly cat litters. 100,000 truck loads of cat litter gets dumped in our land fills, do your part to stop this, go green and use only planet-friendly cat litter.
