Rockwall Veterinarian says no more picking up the litter and carrying it down to the nearest disposal unit! No more putting up with that very peculiar odor all day long! Just get yourself some flushable litter for your cat!

Flushable litter is easy to use because all you do is gather it up from the cat box and flush it straight away. No more carrying it down to waste receptacles.

This type of litter is finer than the conventional clumping variety. It is costlier too, if you consider it pound for pound. But you really don’t have to use as much of it as the ordinary variety, and so the usage cost is pretty reasonable. Even if it is not locally available, you can always have it delivered to your doorstep, thanks to Internet shopping!

Environmentally speaking, the new product is as good or bad as the ordinary litter. One goes to a landfill; the other uses water and generates more sewage. If you are really interested in protecting the environment then you should choose the variety that can be composted once the dried stool is removed.

But before dumping the clumping clay, you ought to make sure that your cat likes the flushable litter. Most cats find it strange, and don’t use the litter box with flushable litter. So keep watching your pet and the litter box to find out what your pet thinks of the new litter.

It will be best if you introduce your cat to the flushable litter gradually. Just mix a little of the new kind to the cat box, and increase the amount day by day, till finally the whole box is filled with the flushable variety. Don’t try to flush the mixture of the clay litter and the flushable litter! Wait till the cat is using 100% flushable, before actually flushing the stuff away.

If your cat does not like using the flushable litter, you will have to go on as usual. If Tabby accepts it, then you can say goodbye to that horrible stench, and the walks to the waste receptacle.

Whichever way, the environment is going to get impacted by the cat’s litter. The convenience of the flushable litter makes it very attractive to the keeper. All said and done, your cat’s preference will decide the question: “To Flush Or Not To Flush!
