Re: Article : Clumping Clay Litter : A Deadly Inconvenience
Kalau payah nak guna recycle paper, guna World's Best Cat Litter yang dibuat dari kernal jagung. Clumping dan tak ada campur dengan clay.

Aku ada satu beg produk nih dari cat show ari tu tapi aku stick ngan paper litter buatan sendiri.
Inilah tempat mengering paper litter aku kat atas deck siling rumah. Panas dan sesuai untuk mengering.

Ashley, where do you buy the paper pellets? I use wood pellets and would prefer to get paper pellets as the wood pellets do stick to my cat's paw and he does ingest them when he cleans his paws after using the litter box.

Re: Article : Clumping Clay Litter : A Deadly Inconvenience
HI Blackie
i buy the recycled paper pellet brand from a few pet supplies shops that carry it -however i'm now in touch with the distributor/importer and i hope to be able to get some discount if i buy direct from them as well as buy more. if you're interested please PM me as i'd like this thread to stay focus on providing information/awareness on clumping clay litter and the pros and cons of using other alternatives..
thanks

Re: Article : Clumping Clay Litter : A Deadly Inconvenience
Hi bareen
this is certainly very creative and innotive use of recyling method perhaps you can open another thread under the DIY section - you should you know...it's be another informative thread not to mention 'laris' and "hangat"

Detail on how to produce this can be refer to this link http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=172156
It healthy to human and cats, save cost, flushable (and it clean and scrup stain beneath the waterline in the toilet bowl too )

Kat Kuching ni tak semua petshop jual. Harga sebeg, tak tahu ler sebab tak pakai litter sand commercial. Hari tu pun lupa nak tanya pulak. Tapi dari perbincangan orang sebelah barat sana, memang WBCL ni top tapi tak semua barang perfect. Ada jugak yang tak puas hati. Tu lah aku buat sendiri, kalau orang tak puas hati, aku puas ngan hasil keja aku sendiri .

I'll do that but need to take some pic to go along with the process. Look like I have to process a baldi of soaked shredded paper this weekend.
BTW. Can you comment on nursing queen and clumping litter dust? I have a newborn and I am sure others do to. We start to worry when the kittens start their litterbox training as they enter the litterbox. What about the moment they are born and start sniffing for the mother nipple. Does the dust that stick on the mother fur affect the helpless kitten in any way?

Re: Article : Clumping Clay Litter : A Deadly Inconvenience
Hi Bareen
i'm not an expert on this subject but i would say the same concept applies - if the clumping clay dust is on the queen's fur, when either she grooms herself or her kitten nurses, then both of them would ingest it (not intentionally eat it but still...).
because of this that's why i'm sort of "forcing' felix to use recylced fiber litter for samantha and her kitten , thank goodness felix is also aware of this and is receptive to using the recycled fiber litter. i'm due to visit them this week.
if any of you are intereseted in either getting a trial pack or buying a small bag to try, pls PM me as i want to get in touch with abco asia and get some from them asap. pls mention whether you're buying or want trial pack

Re: Article : Clumping Clay Litter : A Deadly Inconvenience
Yeah, true enough. Sometimes I ponder whether my vet here trying to sell off her products with the only sole attention of selling rather than educating or...the other way round. It's best to educate where we will appreciate them more and personally have good relationship with them.
And my gratitude for Ashley for this article. I've almost let it pass me without realizing that it is one vital matter.

Masa merendam, aku campur sikit clorox untuk minimise pembiakan bakteria, takut aku terlebih masa merendam sampai berhari-hari. Lagi pun air rendaman ini akan diperah dan ditukar air baru masa menghancurnya.
Guna washing machine top loader untuk spin. Kalau guna side loader, bunyi nak runtuh masa dia spin sebab kertas dalam pillow case tu berat kena air. Nak perah, lengguh jari nanti. Tak payah taruh sabun masa spin tapi kalau nak, tak salah untuk mewangikan litter. Boleh gak campur soda bikarbonate sebelum masuk dalam sarung bantal.
Buat dulu, lepas tu pandai-pandailah mem-perfect-kannya dengan pengalaman penggunaan. Yang penting, cara untuk dapat texture yang halus dari kertas recycle tu. Kalau kasar, masih nampak abjad kat litter tu dan kaler dia tidak akan cerah/putih bila kering.

Kalau kucing kita tak ditrain untuk tidak bermain ngan kertas memang tak dapat guna shredded paper. Kuching aku, kalau jumpa kertas mesti dia carik jadi strip dan gongong cam anjing bawa serata rumah buat main. Sedangkan shedded paper yang aku simpan dalam gabbage beg lagi dikoyaknya.
Bagi akulah, World Best Cat Litter adalah jenis clumping yang selamat sebab dia dibuat dari kulit jagung. Selain dari itu, Breeder Select yang dibuat dari kertas tapi tak clumping juga bagus. Litter pine atau yang dibuat dari habuk kayu tapi kena guna dengan litter tray/box yang khusus juga ok digunakan kalau cos tidak jadi masalah.
Tapi terus terang, aku tak guna semua ni, sebab dah ada production sendiri .
