Clay litter still accounts for more than five billion pounds of mined clay annually. Because it’s not biodegradable, it clogs up landfills, a situation that causes much environmental concern. In contrast, natural litters are biodegradable and compostable. Products like the ökocat™ wood and paper litters are also lightweight and user-friendly and their usage can significantly reduce a cat’s carbon paw print over her lifetime.
Natural litters are virtually dust-free and don’t contain any chemical odor-masking agents and fragrances that are often found in clay products and believed to trigger or irritate asthma and other respiratory issues in both cats and humans. And, from a feline standpoint, because cats have such a keen sense of smell, some are “‘turned off” by scented litters, and this could lead to litter box avoidance issues.
While there is a strong movement to ban declawing cats, there are still cats around that have been declawed. Often they have trouble scratching in harder types of litter and adapt better to natural, soft formulas. As the janitor of your cat’s litter box, hygiene and odor control are key concerns. Natural wood and paper materials are very absorbent and rely on natural plant fibers to trap odors so they can’t escape and evade the home.
