COCKTAIL FACTOID Purina makes about $10 million per year from selling dog litter. LIKE THIS TIP? Then check out . . .The Cat Toy Tip RATE THIS TIP How useful is this tip?(5 is the highest) 1 2 3 4 5 What sort of legacy is your kitty leaving behind? The Bite It could be stinky, so go for biodegradable alternative cat litters, since conventional clay- and silica-based litters are actually strip-mined (like, from the earth) and sit in landfills forever. The Benefits Fewer strip mines. More than 2 million tons of non-biodegradable kitty litter made from strip-mined clay end up in landfills every year. Biodegradable. You can actually compost the stuff made from wood, newspaper, sawdust and wheat (but save it for your non-edible plants).Unplug your nose. Natural litter masks smell better than conventional varieties, and it's unscented, which many cats prefer. Personally Speaking Froggy started out using regular clay litter at the SPCA. Jen didn't want to shock him, so she weaned him by mixing a little bit of One Earth into the clay over the course of a week. He's never looked back. Wanna Try A sprinkle of baking soda keeps litter fresher, longer. Try with these faves:One Earth Cat Litter - biodegradable, clumping corn-cob granuals absorb 2X more than clay ($10/7 lbs).Yesterday's News - pellet litter made of recycled newspaper. Also available for rabbits and ferrets ($14/13.2 lbs).Swheat Scoop Wheat Litter - 100% compostable and biodegradable, and no, it's not a typo ($10/14 lbs).World's Best Cat Litter - this modestly-named gem is made from super-absorbent whole-kernel (but GMO) corn ($9/7 lbs).Feline Pine - made from unusable sawdust pellets reclaimed from lumberyards ($5/7 lbs). Try a free bag. This tip submitted by Mary Jo Baldridge, Vera Carbo, Cara Cooper, Sue Dolence, Jennifer Lindsey and Kate Moyes. Reviewed by expert panelist Stephanie Shain.
