January Switch: Trying Paper Cat Litter

January is a great time for fresh starts.  How about making a positive change for your feline friend and the environment by switching to paper cat litter? It might sound different, but it comes with a whole host of benefits. Let's have a look.

Why Choose Paper Litter?

Firstly, paper litter is often made from recycled paper. This means we're giving waste a new lease of life, which is a big win for our planet.

• Eco-friendly: Made from sustainable or recycled sources.
• Biodegradable: It breaks down more readily than some other types of litter.
• Dust-free or low dust: Better for your cat's respiratory health and your home environment.

Making the Transition Smoothly

Secondly, switching to a new type of litter needs a little patience to keep your cat happy.

• Gradual introduction: Mix a small amount of the paper litter with your cat's current litter.
• Increase the ratio: Slowly increase the amount of paper litter over a week or two.
• Multiple litter trays: If you have more than one cat, provide extra litter trays during the transition.

Most cats adapt well to paper litter, especially when introduced gradually.

Benefits for You and the Planet

Lastly, making this simple switch can have some lovely knock-on effects.

• Reduced landfill waste: Biodegradable litter means less ending up in landfill sites.
• Potentially lighter: Some paper litters are lighter to carry and pour.
• Good odour control: Many paper litters are surprisingly effective at absorbing smells.

Choosing paper litter is a small change that can make a positive difference. It's a kinder option for the environment and can be a healthy choice for your beloved cat too. Why not give it a try this January?
