Change Your Cat’s Litter
For today’s Works For Me Wednesday I wanted to share something that is perfect for the tree huggers who are also cat owners. Like me.
Pet Ecology Perfect Litter is an eco-friendly cat litter actually works. It is biodegradable, 98% natural, reduces ordors, and has a special color change ingredient that changes colors when your cat has an UTI. We have 6 indoor cats. 6 cats people! You thought I was joking when I said a houseful of cats, but I wasn’t. So we use a lot of litter. We used to buy the cheap stuff because, well look how many we’re dealing with. But the cheap stuff never masked the smells and always made me feel guilty with how much nasty litter was being tossed out.
According to the Bureau of Waste Management, and other reliable sources, billions of pounds of spent cat litter is dumped into U.S. landfills every year – more than the amount of disposable diapers. Moreover, clay-based products swell to 15 times their original size via water absorption, thereby exacerbating landfill capacities and resources even further. Simply put, the clay-based cat litter products that dominate the market are heavy, bulky, smelly when soiled (despite product claims to the contrary), non-biodegradable, and hazardous to the environment.
That’s gross, right? Really, really gross. And it’s not just the dirty cat litter hurting the environment. The clay used in most cat litters is obtained through strip mining. Thousands of acres of land are destroyed permanently just to get to the clay underneath. That makes me want to cry.
If you’re intersted in changing your cat litter you can get a 2 week free trial of Perfect Litter. Free trails are good, very good. OK, so I’m just a sucker for free. You only have to pay shipping and handling, which is $3.95. It’s worth it to try Pet Ecology Perfect Litter for yourself.

I don’t have indoor cats, so I guess I just never paid attention. I had no idea it was so bad. I’m passing this post along to all my cat-owner friends. Thanks for stopping by my site!
Sarah is Ok’s last blog post..Remember, Fish Need Even Temps
I didn’t know it was so bad either. I always though the clay used was left over pieces or something. And I never realized what it did in the landfills. I’m glad to be passing on the info to other people who didn’t know.
Wow, I didn’t know it was so bad. I only have 2 cats and gaw. They are making me crazy. I’ll have to check out that new litter
Thanks for the heads up! 
Please note on the site that your Credit Card will be billed 39.95 every two months for future supplies that they will send you. While I want to try this product I will look for it at my Vets office or the store. Thank you for the info as I have been looking for a kinder to the earth litter.
