Marltons Cat Litter

Cat litter was originally a form of sand that allowed cats to dig and bury their leavings in a way that mimicked their natural behaviours outdoors. Cats instinctively excrete in the sand or soil,  Marltons offers a range that is suited for your cat's ablution requirements.

Some cat owners have a preference for the type of litter they would like their cats to use. An important consideration to make when caring for your cat is choosing the type of litter best suited for their needs. The decision has been made a lot easier with a range that caters not only for your cat's needs, but your preferences as well. The final decision is whether your cat will like to use the litter or not.

Supplies you will need when training your cat to use the litter box:

Supplies you will need when training your kitten or cat to develop good bathroom habits include litter boxes, cat litter, treats and toys. Potty training your feline friend requires a whole lot of patience. After every mealtime, you will need to place your cat into the clean litter box to encourage them to do their business in a litter box.

When you notice your cat has done their business, you should reward them with a treat or toy and not scold or punish them for any accidents which may occur.

How often should you change a cat's litter:

A general guideline for replacing clay litter, depending on your circumstances, is to replace it every other day or only once a week. If you clean the litter box daily, you might only need to change clumping litter every two to three weeks. Each time you change the litter, you should disinfect the litter box with a mild solution and water to prevent any bacteria and lingering smells from developing.

Why do cats immediately use a clean litter box:

Cats use urine-scent to denote ownership and territory. When you remove waste from their litter box and stir around and add more of the litter, you are removing any odours from the litter box.
