Cat litter types: There are two kinds of cat litter: caked and non-caked. Dough has strong water absorption and will wrap water; Non-caking and weak water absorption, suitable for double-layer cat litter basin, liquid will penetrate into the second layer. Bentonite, bean curd sand and corn sand are caked; There are non-caking crystal sand, pine sand, paper sand, large and small jade balls and zeolite sand. In terms of price, the unit price of agglomerated sand is much cheaper than that of non-agglomerated sand. Tofu, corn, pine paper sand, which are plants, can be directly flushed into the toilet, and others can only go downstairs to take out the garbage.
Cat's situation: cats like to scrape round sand with small particles and no special smell. The essence of cat litter is very heavy, and the taste of excrement can be imagined, so no matter how big the taste of cat litter is, I will buy the original flavor without essence. Some greedy kittens will eat cat litter, and vegetable, tofu and corn litter merchants will say that they can eat it.
1. Single-layer cat litter basin+bentonite
Bentonite is alkaline, suitable for beginners and outdoor. Spherical, average water absorption, good agglomeration.
The advantage of bentonite is its beautiful price. As long as it is cleaned in time, the cat's toilet can be well wrapped.
Disadvantages are that the dough is too big, not durable, often cleaned, stuck to the bottom and edge of the basin, cat's feet are easy to stick, the smell is too strong, easy to take out, peas roll all over the floor, and the garbage is heavy.
I have used large particles and small particles of bentonite, and large particles are more difficult to carry out than small particles. It is recommended not to buy small particles.
2. Single-layer cat litter basin+tofu, corn litter
Corn paste and bean curd paste are also caked and long, cleaner, vegetal and healthier than bentonite, and can also be used to flush toilets. Also suitable for novices.
The advantage of tofu corn grits is that they are clean, healthy and environmentally friendly. They can be used to flush toilets and are not easy to take out.
Generally, it absorbs water, smells slightly lighter and is slightly more expensive than soil. Suitable for indoor use. It will stick after absorbing water, and it will also stick to the bottom and edge of the basin.
Similarly, large particles are not easy to carry out than small particles.
3. Single-layer cat litter basin+crystal sand
Crystal sand is non-caking, with large particles and irregular shape. Good crystal sand is silica gel, which has no color and turns yellow after absorbing water.
The advantages are durability, cleanness, non-adhesion to the bottom and edge of the basin, non-adhesion to the soles of cats' feet, water absorption, and packaging of poop.
The disadvantage is that it can't absorb water quickly and needs to throw garbage. Slightly expensive, suitable for indoor use.
4. Single-layer cat litter basin+bentonite+tofu paste
They are all made of dough, and the effect is average, which slightly covers up the shortcomings of soil. It is cheaper than using tofu alone and is suitable for indoor use.
5. Single-layer cat litter basin+bentonite+crystal sand
What a waste. Crystal sand does not agglomerate, and it was wrapped in soil before it was sucked up. It is also not suitable for tofu and corn paste.
After introducing the single floor, let's talk about why I want to change the double floor bathroom.
My cat has an amazing amount of urine, but it is healthy and strong. I didn't check him. Just drink water. Single-story toilets always store urine, and crystals are fine. The rest should be shoveled in one day, otherwise it will be finished the next day. Dealing with cat shit must have been experienced by all of you shovelers. All tears. If only I could separate the urine from the sand, so the idle fish bought the second-hand Alice 530. The double-deck toilet grille must be strong and the plastic quality must be good in order to be antibacterial and easy to clean. Alice 530 is worth having.
6. Double-decker cat toilet+pine cat litter+urine pad
This is standard. After washing with loose sand, the water will break into small slag and fall to the second floor, and the urine pad will absorb urine. Seeing this effect, I will cry with joy!
Pine sand is so big that many cats, especially kittens, can't pick it up. Coupled with this smell (merchants will tell you that it is pine), cats may not be able to accept it and it is difficult to change sand. But the effect is very good, it doesn't come out, and it has no taste. Change diapers every two days and add some pine. I used Alice's dog pad.
Let's talk about pine cat litter. Dr. Zhao Meng assessed that all pine litter formaldehyde exceeded the standard. I use Alice green tea pine sand (bought for the toilet), which really smells of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a kind of adhesive, so it is not impossible to make cat litter. I only use it when the weather is fine. Moreover, cats didn't accept this smell at first, and now they are not used to it. Personally, it is not recommended.
7. Double cat toilet+crystal sand+urine pad
Because the double-layer cat toilet is easy to use, the crystalline sand is not caked and the particles are large, so it can be used together. But the crystal sand I bought is a little broken, it will get stuck in the cracks and then it will be scrapped.
8. Double-decker cat toilet+paper sand+urine pad
After a long time, I chose paper sand. The paper sand is a little bigger than the gap, even if it doesn't fall off, there is no strange smell. Paper sand has deodorizing ingredients. Although paper sand is expensive, it is super durable! You can use it for half a month at a time! This is my last game.
Paper sand is mostly longer and thinner than pine, but some cats don't like to pick it. This needs attention. Jialezi's paper sand is round, but it is too expensive, and the effect should be excellent.
9. Double-decker cat toilet+zeolite sand+urine pad
Zeolite sand is super expensive, extremely expensive. It is a legendary time to buy sand that can be used for a lifetime. Because the pores are porous, the water permeability is excellent, and it can be used after drying, and it also smells. When they smell, they will be washed and dried for new use. Cats can really persist for a long time without defecation.
