Easily Disposable Cat Litter

By Darren Davis

For those of us who are both cat lovers and Mother Earth lovers, the idea of easily disposable cat litter is very appealing; as long as easily disposable means that it won't end up in a landfill! Luckily, there are some excellent kitty litters out there that can be flushed or even composted because they are completely biodegradable - talk about easily disposable cat litter!

It's estimated that over 2 million tons of non-biodegradable clay litter ends up in landfills every year! Biodegradable litter is great in many ways - it's made without chemicals and is fragrance free, so it is not harmful to your cat(s) and because it's made from a renewable resource, it's great for the environment. Clay litter is not made from renewable resource, but comes from mined clay.

Many cat owners like the biodegradable litters because once the cat poop has been scooped out and flushed the litter itself can be composted (not for your vegetable garden, though). Many of these litters are clumping for scooping ease and some can be flushed. If you won't be flushing them, or composting them, because they are biodegradable, you can still dispose of them in the back forty and they will simply become part of the soil.

Cat lovers seem to like the following brands of easily disposal cat litter: Swheat Scoop - A scoopable litter made from naturally processed wheat. It can be licked or digested without serious problems, and it's easy on paws. It is safe for septic systems, so it can be flushed. It is compostable. Feline Pine - All natural, made from (you guessed it) pine shavings that have been compressed into little pellets. It is clumping for easy scooping, compostable and flushable. CareFresh - this isn't really cat litter, it's animal bedding (small pets), but it's made from reclaimed wood pulp waste and contains no chemicals, etc. Very soft and good for when kitty has delicate toes after declawing. It's also good for pets with allergies.

All of the above are easily disposal cat litters that are healthy for your kitty and good for the environment as well. If you want to make sure that your cat is getting the healthiest litter for her and that you are getting easily disposable cat litter for your own convenience, you may want to give some of these a try.
