FAQs
Is this litter suitable for kittens?
Yes, it is suitable for kittens. However, kittens may sometimes ingest litter, so monitor their behavior. Its non-clumping nature is generally safe if small amounts are ingested.
How often should I completely change the litter?
For optimal hygiene and odor control, a complete litter change is recommended every 2-4 weeks, depending on the number of cats using the box and their usage habits.
What makes this litter antibacterial?
The litter contains specific antibacterial ingredients within its special blue granules that actively inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, contributing to a more hygienic environment.
Can I flush this litter?
No, it is not recommended to flush this cat litter, as non-clumping litters can still cause plumbing issues. Dispose of waste responsibly according to local regulations.
Does this litter help with tracking?
While designed with quality sepiolite, some litter tracking is common with most cat litters. Placing a litter mat outside the box can help reduce tracking.
What is sepiolite?
Sepiolite is a natural clay mineral known for its high absorbency and excellent odor-trapping properties, making it a popular base for quality cat litters.
Troubleshooting
Litter box odor is still present.
Ensure you are scooping waste daily and stirring the litter. Check if the litter depth is sufficient (5-7 cm). Consider a more frequent full litter change if heavily soiled.
Cat is avoiding the litter box.
Ensure the litter box is clean, the location is quiet and accessible, and that the cat is not put off by any cleaning product residue. Some cats may need time to adjust to a new litter type.
Litter seems to be getting wet and staying wet.
This non-clumping litter absorbs liquid. Ensure you are removing any heavily soiled portions during daily scooping. A full change may be needed sooner than usual if saturation occurs.
Dust is noticeable during pouring or scooping.
While designed to minimize dust, some dust can be expected with any granular litter. Pour slowly and avoid vigorous stirring directly after pouring to minimize airborne dust. Ensure good ventilation in the room.

Care:
