Bentonite cat litter is made of natural bentonite, montmorillonite, zeolite and other natural minerals by crushing, screening, molding (or directly granular) and drying. Bentonite, the core raw material, is a natural clay mineral with strong adsorption, abundant reserves and convenient materials. Without adding too much chemical adhesive, agglomeration can be realized by virtue of the viscosity of the mineral itself, and it is not easy for cats to cause irritation when eating a small amount by mistake, which is suitable for the physiological habits of most cats.
The core physical characteristics of Cat Global bentonite cat litter
Bentonite cat litter has become a classic cat litter, which is one of the most widely used cat litter types on the market at present, because it conforms to the physical performance of cats’ nature and accurately matches the basic needs of different pet raising scenes. 1. Super adsorption and rapid agglomeration.
1. Super adsorption and rapid agglomeration.
This is the core advantage of love sand bentonite cat litter. Natural bentonite itself has strong hydrophilicity and adsorption, which can quickly absorb water within 1-2 seconds after encountering urine, and quickly condense into compact and hard-to-disperse lumps, which can effectively lock urine and odor, prevent urine from infiltrating into the bottom of the cat litter box, and reduce bacterial growth and odor diffusion. When cleaning, it is only necessary to pick up the lumps, and the operation is convenient.
2. It fits the cat’s nature and is highly accepted.
The particles of bentonite cat litter are delicate and soft to the touch, close to the sandy soil texture that cats come into contact with when they live in the wild, which conforms to the cat’s natural habit of scraping sand and burying feces. Almost all cats can adapt quickly without going through the adaptation period, especially suitable for young cats who have just arrived home or cats who are sensitive to the texture of cat litter.
3. Strong odor adsorption, long-lasting and fresh.
Bentonite mineral itself has a porous structure, which can not only absorb the moisture in urine and feces, but also firmly lock the odor molecules, rather than simply covering the odor. With the light earthy smell of natural minerals, it can effectively reduce the indoor odor and keep the pet environment fresh, which is suitable for pet owners who are sensitive to odor.
4. Outstanding cost performance, suitable for high frequency use.
Bentonite is rich in raw material reserves and low in production cost. Compared with bean curd cat litter and crystal cat litter, it has more advantages in price, less consumption and compact agglomeration. It is suitable for multi-cat families or high-frequency use scenes, and has higher cost performance after long-term use. It is the basic choice for most pet owners.
PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES
Relying on 25 years’ experience in cat litter production and export, I will answer five hot issues of bentonite cat litter for you.
Q1: Can bentonite cat litter really not be flushed into the toilet?
A: Bentonite cat litter is definitely not recommended to flush into the toilet. Its main component is natural minerals. Although it will absorb water and agglomerate when it meets water, it is not easy to dissolve. On the contrary, it will become larger due to water expansion, which will easily block toilet pipes (especially old pipes). It is recommended to collect all of them and put them into trash cans for garbage sorting.
Q2: Is it dangerous for cats to eat bentonite cat litter by mistake?
A: eco bentonite cat litter is mainly composed of natural bentonite and montmorillonite, and it is an inert mineral without chemical stimulation. It is usually not dangerous for healthy cats to eat a small amount by mistake, and it will be naturally excreted with feces. However, if cats eat food frequently, it may be pica or lack of trace elements, so it is recommended to consult a pet doctor.
Q3: Will the dust of bentonite cat litter hurt cats?
A: The high-quality eco bentonite cat litter will be treated by dust removal, and the amount of dust will be greatly reduced, which will have little impact on cats under normal use. However, if the cat itself has respiratory diseases, or long-term use of products with high dust may irritate the respiratory tract, it is recommended to choose low dust models, and regularly clean the cat litter box to keep the environment ventilated.
Q4: Which is better, fine particle or coarse particle bentonite cat litter?
A: Fine particles (1-2mm) have a more delicate touch, which is in line with the cat’s sand-scraping nature, and are more compact and difficult to disperse, but the dust is relatively high; Coarse-grained (3-4mm) dust is less, so it is not easy for cats to take it out of the litter box, and cleaning is more worry-free. It is suitable for cats with many cats or those who like to shave sand, and can be selected according to their habits.
Q5: How to reduce the dust and odor of bentonite cat litter?
A: to reduce dust, you can choose a low-dust model, and operate gently when pouring cat litter to avoid dumping vigorously; To reduce the odor, we can clean up the lumps regularly and replenish new sand. At the same time, we can lay a thin layer of activated carbon pad at the bottom of the cat litter box to absorb excess odor and keep the cat litter box ventilated and dry.
