What exactly does clumping litter do?
Clumping litter is cat litter that when liquid is added clumps together to form larger balls. This clumping absorbs more liquid and also traps the odour meaning that the litter tray will stay fresher for longer.
Cat eating cat litter Is this harmful?
Yes, it can be harmful for a cat to eat cat litter, especially if it is a clumping clay litter. Ingesting cat litter can cause intestinal blockages or other digestive issues. It is important to monitor your cat and consult a vet if you suspect they have eaten cat litter.

What is the best type of ferret litter tray?
Standard cat litter trays are ideal. More important is the type of litter you use - it must be the non-clumping type, as clumping litter can collect about the ferret's anus (due to them being much lower to the ground than a cat) and in extreme cases cause fatal intestinal blockage.
Recipe for natural cat litter?
Cedar chips (mulched) is good and leaves a nice scent. Sand mixed with Baking Soda is also good. Costco carries a good cheap clumping brand (nothing in it to harm your cat) and it absorbs odor. If you like you can also mix Baking Soda in with the cheaper brands of clumping kitty litter. The clumping kitty litter is the best because you can scoop out their poop without wasting too much litter.
How much litter is there everyday?
This would depend on whether the litter in question is clumping or classic, and whether the cat is indoor only or indoor / outdoor. It also depends on where you are and what the local litter prices are. A 15-pound (7 kg) bin of clumping litter will last a single indoor cat about 4 - 5 weeks. If you can find non-clumping litter, and if you clean it, and turn it over completely every day (so as to break up the wet spots and slow the bacterial action), 7kg should last a single indoor cat about 6 to 8 weeks. An outdoor cat will urinate outdoors by preference, to mark his territory. 7kg of litter may last an outdoor cat as long as 4 to 6 months, but it still must be cleaned daily, and turned over completely, in case he chooses to urinate indoors.
Is kitty litter toxic to dogs?
Cat litter is generally not considered to be toxic, in that there are generally no chemicals in cat litter that have an identified toxicologic agent that causes a defined set of physiologic problems. However, dogs should not eat cat litter, particularly clumping cat litter, because the litter can cause gastrointestinal obstruction and general gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea, etc).
How many cats are in a litter when they are born?
The average size of a litter for cats is around 4 to 6 kittens, but it can vary from 1 to 9 kittens. The number of kittens in a litter depends on factors such as the breed of the cat and the age of the cat.
Do domesticated cats use litter boxes?
Yes, they do. If they do not, there is likely a different reason. Make sure that the cat knows where the litter box is. Make sure to scoop it daily, and completely change out the litter at least once a week (for clay litters; 2 weeks for clumping litters). If that doesn't work, try spraying the feline product "Feliway" where the cat urinates/uses outside the litter, as this may be stress related. Also have the cat fixed, in case it is territorial.
What is the level of glucose in a cat?
this is to be determined by your vet, if your cat is diabetic, the vet will know by the cat's water intake, or if the cat is sliding its back legs or clumping of kitty litter between its paws.
