The origin and selection of cat litter
Before the appearance of cat litter, cats could only use soil, sand, ashes, and even cinder to solve the poop problem. In the winter of 1948, Ms. Kai Zhubo, an American cat lover, encountered a troublesome sand in the yard, which was frozen, and the cat had no material to cover up the excrement. Kai decided to ask for help like her neighbor Ed Roy, who opened a specialized factory for sand and wood chips, so Kai wanted to find Roy directly to seek help. After Ed Roy found out, he recommended a natural clay, Fuller soil, to Kai. After Kai took this clay home and used, the effect was unexpectedly good! The clay not only absorbs cat urine well, but also reduces part of the odor. After taking the Fuller soil home to use it, not long after, Kai came to Roy to buy this soil and recommended the Fuller soil to her friends who raised cats. Because of its excellent results, this land is well-known in the local area, and more and more people come to Roy to buy Fuller land. So Ed put this clay in a paper bag and sold it to a pet store. The brand was called KITTY LITTER, which has since begun the history of commercial cat litter and has been warmly welcomed by cat slaves.
The first cat litter was invented by accident, but it opened a door, and the improvement and upgrading of cat litter immediately opened. Under the pursuit of high-quality cat litter by shovelers, a large number of cat litters such as bentonite cat litter, tofu cat litter, pine cat litter, and plant cat litter were born. Yihe plant cat litter was born in this context, and it has received more and more attention because of its excellent performance. Although "Fuller earth cat litter" can absorb water, it often sinks to the bottom. Frequently changing the basin into the basin has caused a lot of inconvenience to the shoveling owner.
In early 1980, biologist and senior cat slave William Mallow invented a kind of soil cat litter that would condense, namely bentonite cat litter. Bentonite cat litter can quickly gather after absorbing water. Each time you clean it, you only need to shovel out the cluster, which is deeply loved by the majority of cat slaves. Types of cat litter
Cat litter has developed to the present day. Such as: bentonite cat litter, zeolite cat litter, crystal cat litter, paper cat litter, wooden cat litter, diatomaceous earth cat litter, clay cat litter, tofu cat litter, mineral sand, etc.
The selection of cat litter is also a meticulous job in choosing cat litter. There are many types of cat litter on the market, and it is dazzling, so how to choose has become a problem. In my opinion, the first thing to do is to consider the cat's litter is to consider the cat's willingness. If the funding is sufficient, you can choose several different types of cat litter for the cat to try in turn, see which one it likes and then make sure it is determined.
If you choose cat litter according to your function, I think you should choose cat litter from the following aspects:
1. Strongly united. The clumping nature of cat litter means that cat litter can quickly wrap the cat's poop when it is excreted, which is also convenient for cat owners to clean it.
2. Large particles. Large-grained cat litter will not cause dust, protecting the cat's breathing, so when choosing, cat owners can first consider whether the cat litter particles are large.
3. Easy to clean. After using cat litter, it will be very convenient to take care of cat litter that can flush the toilet directly.
4. Strong deodorization ability. Absorb the cat's excrement, urine or feces, and reduce the smell and keep the indoor air fresh.
