Environmentally friendly cat litter?

Since you’re dumping a cat box weekly, filling the box with an environmentally friendly litter is a good idea. However, you might find that your cat is finicky about your choice of litter so prepare to test a few types. One option is recycled newspaper litter that is biodegradable, flushable, and burnable and 99% dust free. Plant based litters are made from corn, husks, cobs, wheat by products, and wheat grass. Pine and cedar sawdust littler is formed into pellets that expand and break down with liquid absorption. Litter should always be disposed of as recommended on the packaging.

Although “green” kitty litters are often flush friendly, it’s not the best thing for our water. Cat feces contains the Toxoplasmosis gondii (TG) parasite, which is dangerous to pregnant women and marine life. A better option when using wheat or corn based litters (such as Swheat Scoop or World’s Best Cat Litter are a few examples) is to place the used litter in your compost pile. Keep in mind that you only want to do this for ornamental plants, not in your vegetable or herb garden.

I’ve heard of this one stuff called Feline Pine.I haven’t tried it yet.I would suggest throwing the litter away,or putting it on a compost pile(not gardens)

I am ashamed to admit that I only recently considered the health effects and environmental impact of our cat litter ( even though I had already suspected that scented litter probably wasn’t good for any of us )… Swheatscoop and The World’s Best Cat Litter are both good choices. We started using World’s Best when our newest kitten decided to “taste” the litter repeatedly. I found it difficult to separate the solid wastes from the pine pellets and the newspaper pellets didn’t combat the amonia odor. I am currently using The Aristocats Scoopable Pine litter ( it was on sale and with 6 cats I always need a price break ) and I like it. The texture is similar to sawdust ( without the dust ) and it controls the odor without perfumes. Scoops easily, too. The cats looked at it strange the first time but approved . When you are ready to clean the pan you can dump the used (but scooped ) litter in the non-garden compost pile.Aristocats does have some kind of “clumping agent” which may be a concern , but the label claims that the product is non-toxic.

paper,cardboard and sometimes plastic is good to use for cat litter.
