Product Information

Is paper litter easy to dispose of? You can get rid of paper cat litter a few ways. Since it’s biodegradable, you can just throw it into a compost pile if you have one. Some litters will actually be flushable, but you need to read the bag carefully to make sure before attempting this, as some brands will have pellets too large to flush. You can also just throw it in the garbage. So, perhaps one of the best choices you can make for your cat, the environment, and your lungs is to choose a biodegradable cat litter. Alternative litters are made from a variety of materials alone or in mixtures including paper, corn, walnuts, wheat, wood, pine, and grass.

This depends on which cat litter you buy, which is usually a choice between clumping or non-clumping cat litter.

This recommendation might impact aspects such as clumping, so defer to your new litter for guidance.

My wife puts any remains of trays with wood litter into seperate bags. I take these bags containing wood litter, cat poo & pee and spread them on a pile, under cover, well out of house/cattery reach. After about a month the smell goes & the poo has dried out. I then mix this lots with logs, any other wood & burn it on each of the fires. There is very little smoke smell &, as both fires are enclosed, none in the house. I get my wood from cattery customers who would rather give it to me than put into landfill. I suppose I am therefore carbon neutral. If you are on a home septic system, flushing your cat litter is just adding excess organic solids to your system.
