Product Information
Full details
Fresh News Cat Litter is an ideal choice for cat owners seeking an eco-friendly and high-performance solution, particularly those with sensitive respiratory systems or cats prone to allergies. It leverages the natural absorbency of recycled paper to provide three times the absorption of traditional clay litters while maintaining a 99% dust-free environment. While it offers excellent odor control through embedded baking soda, it is important to note that the pellet texture may feel different to cats accustomed to fine, clumping sand, necessitating a gradual transition process.

FAQs
Is Fresh News Cat Litter flushable?
While it is made of biodegradable paper, it is generally recommended to dispose of it in the trash or composted according to local regulations rather than flushing it, as large amounts of litter can clog plumbing.
Does this litter form hard clumps?
No, this is a non-clumping formula. The pellets are designed to absorb moisture and expand, which you can then scoop out along with solid waste.
Is it safe for kittens?
Yes, because it is 100% non-allergenic and dust-free, it is a safe option for kittens, though you should monitor them to ensure they do not attempt to eat the pellets.
How do I know when to change the litter completely?
You will know it is time when the pellets appear fully saturated, discolored, or when you notice that the odor control is no longer effective despite daily scooping.
Can I use this with a sifting litter box?
Yes, it works well with most standard sifting pans, provided the sifter holes are large enough to allow the pellets to pass through, though it is most effective in standard deep-sided pans.
Troubleshooting
Cat refuses to use the new litter
The transition was likely too fast. Revert to a mixture of the old litter and slowly introduce the paper pellets over a longer period.
Litter appears to be scattering
Ensure the litter box has high enough walls or use a litter mat outside the entrance to catch any pellets that fall off the cat's paws.
Odor is lingering
Ensure you are scooping solid waste daily and replace the entire contents of the tray more frequently if you have multiple cats.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Environmentally friendly recycled paper base
- Highly absorbent material lasts longer
- Hypoallergenic and non-allergenic properties
- Built-in baking soda for effective odor control
Cons
- Pellet texture requires adjustment period for some cats

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best transition, introduce the litter slowly by mixing it with your cat's existing brand over a period of 7 to 10 days. Start with a ratio of 25% Fresh News and 75% old litter, gradually increasing the portion of Fresh News until your cat is fully adjusted. This litter is compatible with most standard litter pans, including sifting and non-sifting designs. To care for the litter, store the bag in a cool, dry place to prevent premature moisture absorption. Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling the litter box to maintain proper hygiene.
