Tidy Litter vs. Natural Cat Litter

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

Starting with Tidy Litter:

It’s convenient and easy to purchase
It’s quite heavy to carry, so you must be careful you don’t injure 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 dispose of
Over time, it accumulates into billions of pounds of non-degradable waste
It will track all over your home, especially as it isn’t silica dust-free
There is nothing in this product to control the urine odors
It does not have a soft texture, which means it will be harder on your cat’s feet
It’s not very well suited to multiple cat households
It contains poisonous ingredients, so you have to be make sure that your cat (or any other pet) doesn’t consume it
It doesn’t last very long, so you will need to top up supplies frequently

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

They’re convenient and easy to buy
They don’t weigh very much, which places less stress and strain on your back when carrying it
They’re both green and biodegradable
They don’t enlarge to up to 15 times their original size, making disposal easier
They consequently don’t pile up into billions of pounds of non-degradable waste, clogging up landfill sites
They are silica dust-free and no or low tracking as well
They have brilliant 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, meaning you don’t need to buy cat litter as often

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

Here are the innovative green cat litters to look out for:

Overall, these are marvelous alternative safe organic cat litters that work well for cats of all ages and sizes, making cat behavior training less of a challenge. These cat litters are very planet-friendly and non-toxic. You’ve heard the horror stories of cats ingesting toxic chemicals in their cat litter and getting ill or even dying from that stuff. Now, you have some wonderful choices that are great for the environment and won’t make your cats ill.

Please give these cat litters a try because the traditional clay litters cannot be reabsorbed into the ground and just pile up 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. It is time for natural 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 eco-friendly cat litter.
