Environmental Kitty Litter Considerations

The Environmental Working Group has created a blog page that considers the environmental impact of different methods of cat-poop disposal. The 'comments' section is packed with great questions and thoughts, too. Although I you may not come away with an ideal solution after reading the site, you will have much to think about. And you will be pleased to see how many people really want to find answers. It is an illustration of how complex it can be to come up with solutions that lower our impact on the environment without eliminating any of the comforts of 21st century life that we have all gotten used to.

Not having a cat companion, I never would have guessed that disposing of kitty poop was such a complicated issue. I learned a lot about the pitfalls of various products from the EWG blog post, and will be recommending it to friends with felines.

Useful information, since we have two cats. Litter made from corn is available at many grocery stores and pet stores. I've used it. I like the clumping letter best...but will make the switch...baby steps.
