Crystal Cat Litter

If you have a cat your know that providing a clean litter box environment is extremely important for your beloved pet. Cats are very sensitive to hygiene and especially where they go to the bathroom. If you've been using traditional clay kitty litter and your are tired of both the smell and the fact that it just breaks into bits when you try to remove it you might want to consider crystal kitty litter.

Crystal cat litter is made of silica gel and has many advantages over clay litter with the biggest one being that it's highly absorbant, has little to know smell detectable to humans and clumps easily. This makes it very easy to throw in the rubbish and makes the whole process of cleaning your cat's litter box much easier. However, it is more expensive than traditional cat litter so you'll have to take the increased cost into consideration.

When you buy your new cat litter for the first time it's very expensive that you ease your cat into it and not dump the whole bag into the box at once. Something you can do is just add a few scoops to your cats old litter and mix it together. Then, as time goes by continue phasing in the new litter. That way your cat will get used to it gradually and won't be turned off. Indeed, crystal litter can be sharper on your cat's paws and you wouldn't want to hurt or shock kitty!

Given that a ten-pound bag of kitty litter lasts roughly three to five weeks this should be the time period you allow for the transition stage. Just remember that while your new crystal cat litter is much more absorbant and easier to deal with than the old litter you still need to do a good job cleaning your cat's litter box. Otherwise he or she will go to the bathroom on the floor or in your bed or closet and you'll have a stinky mess to clean up.

We hope this information about buying an automatic cat litter box has helped and look forward to seeing you again soon!
