Cat litter is an absorbent material used to bury cat excrement, usually used in conjunction with a litter box. Based on physical properties, it can be divided into clumping and non-clumping types; based on raw materials, it can be divided into organic cat litter (wood chips, paper scraps, etc.) and inorganic cat litter (bentonite, zeolite, etc.). Some products add antibacterial agents and deodorizers to improve performance. Common types include bentonite cat litter (highly absorbent), tofu cat litter (good absorbency and soluble), crystal cat litter (highly absorbent, requires a double-layer litter box, and its color changes indicate replacement frequency), and pine cat litter (environmentally friendly and low-dust, but susceptible to moisture). When using cat litter, it's important to clean up any loose particles and dust. Silica gel cat litter is recommended to be used with a special scoop. Wood chip litter can be flushed down the toilet, but frequency should be controlled and moisture prevention is crucial.
China's annual bentonite cat litter production exceeds 2 million tons. Ningcheng County in Inner Mongolia is a major global production base, with its production lines operating fully automatically and without human intervention. Products include lightweight cat litter and water-soluble cat litter, exported to over 130 countries and regions.
