This is kitty litter made from recycled newspapers. I bought this and put it in the box for kitty. He doesn't seem impressed. I have another box, with his 'old' litter in it, still out just in case he refuses to use it.
Anyone else use this? |

I used to use the Australian version of this and my girls were quite happy with it (it is what they were raised on). But not being a fan of regular litter dishes I changed to a groovy Japanese litter pan that has a double layer... base draw is a 1/2 inch "sheet" of mulched wood (looks like a recycled cardboard a bit) and then the top tray is filled with pellets made from a type of pine tree - really stops the odor!
Base tray just needs chaning twice a week (only once if you have one cat) and the top pellets every 2 weeks (monthly if single kitty). |

| We use this particular kind of litter in the animal hospital for cats with wounds so that they don't get clay stuck to the area. |

When we adopted a rabbit for my classroom, this is what the people at the shelter told me to use for its litter pan. Yeah, the rabbit was litter box trained just like a cat! This type of cat litter is supposed to be better for the animal's lungs (no "dust") and for their digestive system if they eat it. That's what they told me anyway. I found it to be on the expensive side but I bought it anyway, hoping it was better for the environment as well as for the animal.
Just a note: At the end of the school year the rabbit was "adopted" by a rabbit-loving family (they begged me for her!) that gives her free-roam in a bedroom of her own. Who knows--the little bunny's so spoiled now that she probably has indoor plumbing and a little rabbit toilet of her own!  |

| Surely flushing cat mess isn't very eco-friendly? Given all the energy in processing and chemicals which are used in water treatment? |

Oh, no! I never flushed any kitty litter/rabbit litter down the toilet. When I used the "Yesterday's News" I was only thinking about using something that was recycled, but in the end I guess any waste material/product (recycled or not) wreaks havoc on the environment . . . 
BTW--I was only kidding about the private indoor plumbing and toilet for the rabbit. I just meant that she's VERY spoiled now with having her own room and all. |
