Having brought home a kitten, the question of the toilet immediately arises. For all cats living in apartments, this is a tray. But the tray needs filler. And here the question arises about choosing a filler.

The choice of fillers is so huge that it is difficult to navigate. There are also expensive clumping, simple mineral and cheap fillers made from pressed sawdust. Which one to choose is up to the animal owner. But all fillers are expected to absorb moisture well, completely absorb odor and, most importantly, to please the animal.

Expensive cat litter is not affordable for everyone. Clumping, expensive products are not always liked by animals, and are sometimes even dangerous for them. In veterinary medicine, there are many cases where small kittens ate a little of this filler, which led to serious complications and diseases of the digestive system.

Inexpensive and convenient way to fill cat litter


Mineral fillers are cheap, but do not cope with odor. Which makes them less in demand.Compacted sawdust litter does an excellent job of eliminating odor and moisture, but cats can easily spill it out of the litter box when raking it. In addition, sawdust sticks to the paws, and this spreads throughout the apartment.

We offer a solution to this issue, which will allow you to significantly save on fillers, completely isolates the smell, and the tray can be changed no more than once a week. All you have to do is remove the solid fragments every day and that’s it!

Let's take pressed sawdust, which copes so well with odor and moisture, and pour it into the bottom of the tray. You need very little sawdust, since when absorbed they will increase significantly in size.



We will place a grate with mineral filler on top. It passes moisture through itself, and the sawdust absorbs it and neutralizes it. In addition, all cats like the mineral filling; it does not spread on its paws throughout the apartment, does not stick to the animal’s fur and, apparently, is very pleasant to rake.

The proposed method will save a lot of money. Housewives will not be horrified by the torn up contents of the cat litter, and guests will never smell an unpleasant odor.



So, if your cat just can’t get used to the toilet, she may simply not like its contents.

    It’s very true about the lattice and pressed sawdust!
    Made a "sandwich":
    1) upper large grid for separating “large fragments”
    2) middle grid to retain “untouched” moisture, i.e. non-collapsed filler (2 pieces).
    3) bottom tray.
    Further, the “cleaning algorithm” is clear.
    I’ll also note that I’ve been using wood litter for rabbits for many years, Hurray! - it’s much cheaper in our area.

    Interesting advice. I was just about to replace the filler, because... the one we use does not absorb odor. We need to try to combine the two.

    Yes, they will stir this sandwich right after the first trip to the potty. Those who don't have a cat can get some advice
