Cats are one of the most popular pets. But it's one thing when you have your own house, and it's another when you live in an apartment. And here comes the need to purchase a cat litter and filler for it.
There are several types of fillers with different raw materials. Wood - consists of sawdust pressed into granules. They perfectly absorb odors and moisture, rarely cause allergic reactions. Bentonite clay fillers, zeolitic or mineral, clump well. Silica gel - made of synthetic materials with high absorbency. Well, the last type is corn, made from the processing of corn cobs.

- The filler is easily removed as solid waste and does not need to be completely changed every day. A full replacement can be carried out once a week - this is quite enough
- The smell appears inversely proportional to the amount of litter in the litter box - the more you pour, the longer you don't change
