I believe that many cat owners have been troubled by the problem of choosing cat litter. After all, there are too many types of cat litter on the market, making it difficult to choose. Here, let the cat litter manufacturers explain to you what is a good cat litter.

There are hundreds of types of cat litter on the market. Not only do the ingredients used in their production affect how they are used, but the price difference is also related to the quality. I believe these issues must often bother cat owners! However, DOUKE CAT LITTER, a Chinese environmentally friendly cat litter manufacturer and exporter, has a method for distinguishing the quality of cat litter, which is based on pH, water content, adsorption capacity and fragrance.

1. pH

The pH value can be used to determine whether other harmful substances have been added to the cat litter. Taking mineral litter as an example, when inferior manufacturers use low-grade bentonite to make cat litter, they will add other substances to enhance the odor-absorbing ability of the cat litter, and these harmful substances will affect the pH value of the cat litter.

Generally speaking, pH 8-10 is a reasonable range. If the pH reaches above 10, cat litter dust may burn the esophagus or respiratory tract of humans and cats. Cat litter manufacturers have professional instruments for measurement, so how do cat owners judge at home? Cat owners can rub the dust in the palm of their hands, let it sit for 10 minutes and then rinse with water. At this time, if there is a burning sensation in the hands, it means that this cat litter is out of the market!

2. Water content

Moisture content is also a factor that affects the quality of cat litter. Cat litter with too high moisture content will produce more dust, while cat litter with low moisture content will produce less dust. Li Feng pointed out that normal manufacturers will dry the cat litter to remove excess moisture, which is the most expensive part of the cat litter production process. Therefore, some businesses use sun drying to reduce costs, but the effect is certainly not as good as drying.

The moisture content of cat litter should be below 8%. Cat litter with a moisture content of more than 10% will become powdered after being stored for a long time, and will easily disintegrate into powder when touched by hand. Cat owners can judge from these two situations.

3. Adsorption capacity

The adsorption capacity is an indicator of the deodorizing function of cat litter. The adsorption capacity of cat litter is related to the ammonia content. Manufacturers have professional instruments for measurement, but the simple adsorption capacity measurement method is also very convenient for cat owners. Apart from cat excrement, the "most smelly" place in the house is the refrigerator. Just put a small cup of cat litter in the refrigerator for one day, take it out and smell it the next day. If there is a smell, it means that the cat litter has played its adsorption function.

4. Scent

You can tell the scent of cat litter by just smelling it. Cats rely on their sense of smell to live, and cat litter with too strong a scent can cause olfactory paralysis in cats. There are two sources of cat litter fragrance: chemical processing and natural plants. Chemical fragrances have a long-lasting smell, while plant fragrances cannot last for a long time, but they are harmless to cats. Therefore, if you want to buy scented cat litter, it is recommended to buy one made with plant fragrances. However, the best is of course unscented cat litter.
