Organic soil for cats' litter boxes

[ChristineL]

Hi @Dr. Christina @Dr. Jean Hofve and @Dr. Jeff,

What a great and interesting idea I learned during webinar by Julie Anne Lee today ~ organic soil for my cat's litterbox! Would you think this one is decent to use? What should we lookout for in the ingredients? Thank you!

 

[Dr. Jeff]

It looks good to me as long as there aren't other things added other than what they list.

You may have to try different soils with different consistencies to find one that Pipi likes.

 

[Dr. Jean Hofve]

Just to be super-safe, call the maker and ask them exactly what is in the "plant food?" claimed on the label. Presumably it's just the things listed (limestone [calcim carbonate], mycorrhizae, yucca), which would be fine, but make sure there's no added nitrogen, phosphorus, or other minerals.

 

[ChristineL]

Thank you, both! I will call the company pronto! We're excited to give this soil litter a try!

Hi, could you let us know how the soil worked out? @ChristineL

 

[Dr. Jeff]

Yes!

Hi MeowMeow,

The company never responded to my call/email, so I didn't feel comfortable using the soil.

I am currently using organic wheat pellets by Blue Mountain Hay.

Thank you! I imagine soil doesn’t clump well. I think wheat isn’t gluten free but I may just be being picky.

That looks great! There's also an organic version! I had issues with tracking by non-pellet litters and based on the reviews, that may be an issue with this brand. Do you have that problem?

I just saw this on Amazon...what do you think? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C5X7JSZP/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A24U7JS4CGHWDN&th=1

 

[Dr. Jeff]

Both options look great to me!

Please let us know Christine if you try the Kinoki wood litter.

MM, does the CatSpot coconut litter truly seem to be as absorbent as they claim?
