What NOT to use to replace cat litter

Due to financial issues, many tutors resort to cheaper and easily accessible materials, but this is not always right for your cat.

Some materials can pose a risk to the health of your feline, so check out what they are below:

• newspaper fodder

The use of newspaper is not indicated for the pet because the newspaper ink in contact for a long time in the urine can be toxic for the cat. The paper ink comes off due to the acidity of the urine and with that it can end up sticking to the pet's fur or paw and he can consequently ingest it when licking himself.

• construction sand

Construction sand can be contaminated with the urine of other animals and even contain fungi, so it is not suitable for use in your pet's toilet. Sand can bring allergic problems to your cat and also cause hair loss and skin dermatitis.

• Sawdust

The material is prone to having fungi and bacteria and depending on the material it can bring respiratory problems for your cat.

Ingredients

• Shredded old newspapers, papers or magazines;
• Detergent;
• Water;
• Method of preparation;
• Cut all the papers that will be used with the help of scissors, there is no need to use very small pieces.

In a container, place all the shredded papers and add hot water to cover the papers and a little more. Paper tends to absorb water, so leave a level above water in the container, then add 2 tablespoons of dish soap.

Wait to cool down and after that remove the paper from the water and press well to remove the excess. Yeah, when it's almost dry, crumble with your hands and that's it!

Finally, the detergent will help dissolve the paper ink along with water and thus will not be aggressive for the pet.
