Now You Can Flush (Your Cat’s Mess!)

by Ned Dagostino

No more picking up the litter and carrying it down to the nearest disposal unit! No more putting up with that very peculiar odor all day long! Just get yourself some flushable litter for your cat!

Flushable cat litter is the height of convenience for all you cat lovers. All you have to do is pick up the litter from the cat’s litter box, take it down to the nearest toilet bowl, and flush it away. Simple!Flushable litter is lighter and finer than the clumping litter that is prevalent nowadays. Costlier too! But the cost is offset quite significantly by your having to use much less of it. Availability may be a problem in your area, but you can always order it over the Internet and have it delivered home.Both types of litter have more or less the same environmental impact. One goes to a landfill; the other goes to make sewage and wastes water. The best choice is to get a litter that can be composted after having the dried stool removed.But what does Macavity have to say about this modernism? Most cats we interviewed had a pretty poor opinion of the new-fangled stuff! You will have to watch your cat’s reaction to the flushable litter for a week or two.If your cat doesn’t accept the flushable litter, it is worth a try to get your cat used to the new variety in a gradual way. Mix a fistful of flushable litter with the clumping clay. See whether Tabby accepts it. If so, go on increasing the quantity day by day, till one day it is 100% of the flushable variety. Don’t flush the mixture down the toilet! When it is 100% of the flushable kind, then and only then can you flush it.If your cat just refuses to use the flushable litter, then you’ll have to continue with the clumping clay and your treks down to the waste receptacle. If your mouser does adjust to the flushable litter then you’re in for an easy time.The damage to the environment is similar whether you use the clumping clay or the flushable litter. You will definitely prefer the flushable litter to the ordinary variety. But you will have to go by what your pet says in this matter!
