Loving it...eco cat litter



I have always been sceptical about cat litter that isn't fine and clumping.  Choosing a cat litter is highly stressful for me because I want it to work.  I want it to turn all the water into nice tidy balls and to dehydrate the kitty poo.  Needless to say, I have always ran past the woodbased eco-friendly cat litters.

I was finally talked into trying Cat's Best Oko Plus litter, and it is AWESOME!!!

Here is the description from Zooplus.co.uk:

Cat's Best Öko Plus is up to 3 times more efficient than conventional clumping cat litter because the natural plant fibre capillary system is very effective in retaining fluids. Cat's Best Öko Plus can be used more sparingly and is therefore more economical than many other types of cat litter.



Cleaning and refilling the litter box is reduced to a minimum because Cat's Best Öko Plus stays in the litter box longer- thanks to its ability to trap odours and remain fresh-smelling.
  • Traps odours extremely well
    Has a pleasant, natural smell – no artificial additives
  • Can be composted and is 100% biodegradable:
    Cat's Best Öko Plus is currently the only cat litter that can be composted and is biodegradable. Therefore you can empty the litter box right onto the compost or into the garden waste bin. (Please check with your local refuse company). The soiled clumps, which should be removed daily, can be flushed down the toilet.
  • 100% pure plant fibres:
    Cat's Best Öko Plus is a woodbased cat litter, made from the finest plant fibres from untreated native fir and pine timber. This timber is readily available and the felling of such trees helps to promote healthy, natural forests.
  • Up to 3 times more efficient than conventional clumping litter
  • Up to 700% moisture absorption compared to original volume
  • Easier to transport
  • Can be flushed down the toilet:
    Cat’s Best Öko Plus is made from natural plant fibres, which dissolve in water, just as toilet paper does. It will not cause pipe blockages or impact negatively on sewage treatment. Please flush using plenty of water.
  • Gentle on your cat’s paws

After reading through some of the 106 reviews, I decided to get the trial size.  I love it.  It turns all the pee into little balls and the poo stays dry and odour free.  They say you can put it down the toilet, but I never believe that claim because I am from a home with a septic tank and so it was drilled into my head to NEVER put anything but toilet paper down the drain.

Now just in case you are American and want to get a hold of some flushable cat litter, World's Best Cat Litter can be bought at PetCo. It uses kernel corn to soak up the waste which is water soluble allowing the clumps to be flushed away. I have heard that this litter is really good, but I have never tried it.
