	THE LITTER BOX
		Cats, because of their extremely keen sense of smell, are often put off by scented litters and perfumed environments.
		People who discard their litter on a regular basis tend to not keep the litter deep enough and then the box is a mess to clean because litter is gummed up on the bottom.
		Litter mats are often used outside of the opening of a hooded box to decrease tracking of the litter.

	How cat litter is made - Background, Raw materials, The manufacturing process of cat litter, Quality control
		With conventional litter, the contents of the cat box must be discarded every time the box is cleaned in order to ensure that the cat has a thoroughly fresh supply of litter.
		The smaller granule litter sticks together when it comes in contact with liquid, hence the term "clumping." When clumping litter is used, the cat owner can remove the clumps, then add more litter to the box, eliminating the need to refill it with every cleaning.
		The major drawback of clumping litter appears to be its tendency to "track," that is for the finer granules to stick to the cat's paws when it leaves the box.

	Cat litter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cat litter is one of any of a number of materials used in litter boxes to absorb moisture from cat feces and urine, which reduces foul odors such as ammonia and renders them more tolerable within human dwellings.
		Conventional clay litter is indistinguishable from clay-based oil absorbent (used to clean oil spills); as the latter is far cheaper, it is often used as a substitute.
		Clumping litters were first developed in the UK in the 1950s by the Fuller's Earth Union, later to become a part of Laporte Industries Ltd. The type of clumping litter developed by the FEU was calcium bentonite, a less swelling and less sticky type than American bentonite.

	cat litter and cat boxes
		Cat companions generally choose a cat box and litter according to their own criteria: a box that minimizes odors, is easy to change or scoop, limits tracking, and looks nice as part of the home décor.
		But cats want a box that is the right size for them to move around in and litter that doesn’t smell and feels good against their soft paws.
		While allowing you cat to use the great outdoors for a kitty box is fine out in the country and in some suburban areas, use your own good judgement as to whether it is appropriate for your cat in the area in which you live.

	Cat Litter and Litter Boxes
		If you have more than one cat sharing the litter box, you may be required to clean it more frequently as this will reduce the odors and the bacteria in the box.

		Cat urine is very strong and the odor will permeate the bottom of the box or will eat away at the bottom of the litter box eventually.

	The scoop on newfangled cat litter. - By Kelly Alexander - Slate Magazine
		Non-clumping cat litter has been around since about 1950; as the oldest type of commercial cat litter, it's also known as "traditional," and it works best if you're willing to scoop out the deposits every day and then refill the entire box in a month's time.
		Two newer types of litter exist in addition to the standbys on the market: crystals, which are made of silica granules instead of clay, and organic cat litter, which can be made of corn or of various finely shaved woods such as cedar.
		If cat litter were compared to toilet tissue, I'd liken the clumping kind to Charmin, the non-clumping kind to one-ply sheets, the crystals to a plush towel, and the organic to recycled toilet paper.

	CatStuff: Why has my cat stopped using the litter box???
		There is no one-size-fits-all solution: a cat may be avoiding the litterbox due to a medical ailment, a sanitation problem, wrong litter or litter box, inappropriate location of the litter box, or emotional stress.
		Be aware when adding a new cat to your household that he may have learned to use a particular kind of litter: some cats may have learned to like the "gravel" feel of clay litter, others may have learned to use the "sand" type clumpable; while still others may have used shredded newspapers.
		Too, a cat needs to know that he can "escape" - if the litter box is in a location where he can't see other family members approaching (particularly if those members are likely to swat him as he is in or leaving the litter box), he will probably avoid it.
