Americans love cats. In fact, these regal creatures have invaded millions of homes across the country and currently number about 60 million. You've probably heard that people don't choose cats - it's the other way around and with that in mind, we should be honored. It's just that with that honor and that unique companionship also come certain responsibilities -- like cleaning the nasty bits, for example.
The solution? Flushable cat litter - a newer, friendlier alternative to the older, messier litter boxes.
How they work
Forget what you saw in that Ben Stiller-Robert de Niro movie. Cats may be trained to use toilets designed for humans, but very few have gotten around to perfect that flushing mechanism. Besides, training is a two-way process and not all cat owners can train their kitties to do as they wish. Automatic flushable cat litters may hold the answer, without driving a wedge between your cat and yourself.
Automatic flushable cat litters are self-cleaning litter boxes that keep the cat box clean through the use of a raking system that gets rid of the solid waste by pushing it into a waste receptacle. A cat owner can then remove this plastic part and dispose of the waste easily. Some models even have an exit ramp that cleans the cat's paws to prevent them from leaving track marks.
For the well-cared for cat, there's LitterFree (TM). Dubbed as the 'ultimate' cat litter box, LitterFree is a new design from Pet Food Express and takes cat litter boxes to a whole new level. The product is connected to the water and drainage system and cleans automatically using water to wash the wastes and flush them down the pipes.
It also features a blower that dries the granules to prepare them for the next use. When the manufacturers labeled it 'flushable', they meant it. So if you want an innovative, worry-free cat litter box and are willing to spend more, this is for you.
Instead of ordinary litter granules, those that are used in flushable cat litters are dust-free and washable. The problem of unpleasant odor is also corrected by the flushable cat litter's automatic system of treating the granules with a cleaning solution that both disinfects and deodorizes, ensuring that your kitty's little toilet is kept clean and fresh.
No simple task
Flushable cat litters are the result of years of design, engineering and testing, as evidenced by the company that produces LitterFree
