Kitty Litter

[Bonkers]

  I recently came across a new cat litter that is eco friendly. It is called FreshAire and is carried exclusively by PetSmart. It is made up from a combination of pine, Montmorillonite clay and Bentonite clay. Although I still plan on using the Dr Elsley's in one litter box, I plan on using this one in the other.

  From reading the FAQ's page on their website, I was suprised to learn that there are practically no regulations in place regarding proper labeling of ingredients that may be contained in cat litters. Which means that various substances, such as synthetic fragrances, PTFE-style dust suppressants or synthesized anti-microbial agents, might not be listed on the package.

I recently started using a new litter for my cats, and for the ferrets. It's called Feline Fresh, made by Planetwise Products. My main concern was the possibility of oils and resins. Emailed the company, got a response within two days. It's kiln dried to destroy the oils and resins in it. Here's a clip from their site:

Feline Fresh™ is made from pine, non-toxic and completely safe for all pets and people, even if ingested. The clumps are biodegradable and flushable, even for septic tanks. When you change the litter box completely you can dispose of the used litter (solid waste removed) into your compost pile or used as mulch in the garden. PlanetWise Products utilizes 100% pine that is a natural by-product of the lumber industry.
