Keep the litter box clean: The litter can absorb the urine and feces of the cat, keep the litter box clean and sanitary, reduce odor and bacteria breeding, and provide a comfortable living environment for the cat.

Second, deodorization and antibacterial

Deodorizing function: One of the basic functions of cat litter is deodorizing. Cat waste has a heavy odor, and cat litter absorbs moisture from urine, reducing odor and keeping indoor air fresh. At the same time, some cat litter on the market also has antibacterial and deodorizing functions, which can more effectively reduce odor.

Antibacterial action: Cat litter can not only absorb cat urine, but also catch bacteria and parasite eggs in cat feces, thereby reducing the risk of disease infection for family members.

Third, protect furniture and floors

Prevent public excretion: Cat litter can prevent cats from excreting on the ground, avoid urine and feces contamination of furniture and floors, and protect the cleanliness and hygiene of the home environment.

Fourth, satisfy the cat's instinctive needs

Cats have a natural habit of covering their feces, and the litter box provides a suitable place for them to fulfill this need. After excreting in litter, cats cover their feces with litter to reduce odor and mark territory.

Security: The litter box can also give cats a sense of security. When excreting in a litter box, cats can monitor their surroundings or escape immediate danger.

Fifth, easy to clean

Easy to clean up: The use of litter makes it easier to clean up your cat's waste. Cat litter can form clumps quickly, holding urine and feces together for easy cleanup. Although cat litter does not form clumps, its ability to absorb moisture and control taste cannot be ignored.

Sixth, environmental protection and resource conservation

Environmental protection cat litter: With the improvement of environmental awareness, environmental protection cat litter is gradually rising. This cat litter can lock the water in cat urine, forming a gelatinous substance, when the gelatinous substance reaches a certain amount, it can be poured into the toilet and washed away, which not only reduces the cost of cat litter treatment, but also saves water resources for the family. However, it should be noted that excessive cat litter flushed into the toilet may block the drain, so it should be handled in appropriate amounts.
