Did you bring a kitten to your house for the first time, or has a seasoned cat lived there for a long time? Then, one way or another, the question arises of where and how to pet their needs. If the animal walks on the street, there will be no problem with the toilet. But many other things may arise: fleas, injuries, and so on. Therefore, many owners choose the purely home content of their cats. But then it is necessary to somehow solve a delicate issue in compliance with hygiene.
What is there in the tray?
Remember those times when there was no talk of any cat litter. The pet’s latrine was organized like this: they took a small plastic basin or similar container, covered it with sand from the street or pieces of newsprint. The animal, of course, fulfilled its needs there, for lack of choice. But the owner of the process of cleaning such an impromptu toilet did not give pleasure.
The cat spread on its paws traces of urine and wet sand throughout the house, which only complicated the cleaning process. Again the smell. The apartment, where the cat was not allowed to go outside, greeted the guests with not too pleasant "aromas", from which one could immediately understand that a representative of the cat family lives in the house.
Types of Cat Fillers
Today, manufacturers offer a wide range of cat litter fillers made from various materials. All of them vary in price and in properties.
There are wood, they are the most inexpensive. Such a filler consists of granules based on sawdust. In the process of getting wet, it breaks up and, like sand, can be carried by a cat throughout the house, which is undesirable.
Another type of filler is clumping. They are made from varieties of clay of volcanic origin. They are very convenient to use, since they clump together from moisture into lumps that are easy to remove. In this regard, the consumption of this species is very economical.
Silica gel fillers. They are even more economical, and also perfectly absorb odors, eliminating your apartment from them, but they are also the most expensive.
Katsan - Premium Filler
Now let's talk about a specific tool. Katsan is the cat litter that everyone has heard of. On the Russian market of pet products, he has a solid long history.
Phrase: "Katsan" locks the smell "- has long been a common practice.
On sale you can find two varieties of "Katsana":
A special line for kittens is also available.
Absorbing Katsan
Manufacturer Mars Incorporated has developed unique granules based on exclusively natural components. The company has registered their formula under the name Extra Mineral Protection. The composition of these granules includes special chalk, quartz sand and mineral additives.
The composition that this Katsan filler has is balanced in such a way that the growth of bacteria stops, which contributes to the absence of odor.
Its absorbent properties are such that three times more moisture is retained compared to low-cost counterparts. Using Katsan, you can be sure that your pet, even if he likes to try everything in a row, will not recover. It does not contain asbestos or synthetic bleaches.
Lumping Katsan
This species has the trade name "Catsan Ultra-Filler Clumping". In its manufacture, bentonite is used. This natural mineral is compressed into small granules that instantly stick together when wet.
Consumption is very economical if you use this Katsan. The toilet filler forms lumps that you need to immediately remove and add a fresh portion to the tray.
"Children's" option
Manufacturers believe that little kittens need a special filler, "Katsan." The line for kittens is available in small packaging - 2.5 liters. The manufacturer himself applied even stricter safety and quality standards to this product.
There were times when small kittens began to eat Katsan, in various forums excited owners of animals repeatedly described such cases. Veterinarians believe that this behavior is caused by a lack of calcium and other minerals in the growing body, and recommend in such cases to balance the nutrition of the pet. That is why it is so important that the kitten filler is safe.
Trained to the tray
It’s easy to train a pet to go to the tray. The main thing is to do everything right. Cats like their toilet in a secluded place, away from the eyes. Most often, their tray is placed in a dark corner of the corridor or in the bathroom, if space permits. And it is right. Animals do not like to be disturbed during such a delicate process.
If a mustachioed baby has just appeared in your house, put it in the toilet after every sleep and feeding. If the kitten squeaks, is anxious and starts sniffing the floor, then it is also time to demonstrate to him where to relate its needs. If you do this methodically, the animal will learn in a few days where exactly he should do his business.
Why choose Katsan
What is consumer psychology? If he likes the product, he will not think about changing the brand, because it is known that "the best is the enemy of the good." Why change what suits you for something unknown and untested? Novelty may fail and not live up to expectations.
By this principle, many people buy things for themselves and their pets. On various forums you can find posts where owners have been using Katsan for seven or more years, as long as the cat lives in their house. The filler is completely satisfied with their hygienic properties, and the animal walks willingly into it. Then why experiment?
Customer Reviews for Katsana
About the filler "Katsan" reviews are written by many. Sometimes heated debate erupts. Examples are given when this filler did not remove odor or cause allergies. But the arguments of such debaters look unconvincing.
An allergy may well be caused by exposure to food components or the use of chemicals when mopping, which the owner may not even be aware of. The Katsana manufacturer assures us that it did everything for the safe use of its products, and there is no reason not to trust this respectable company, and the natural composition says the same.
As for the smell, the situation is also ambiguous. The concepts of the necessary frequency of the replacement filler and hygiene criteria are different for everyone. It is hard to believe that as soon as the “little lump” appeared in the owner’s house and the “Katsan” filler was purchased for him, the buyer began to choke on the smell of cat urine. It can be assumed that the point here is more in subjective assessment.
The bulk of the buyers responded enthusiastically about this product. They write that the smell keeps wonderful, and the house is not "pulled apart", and the pet clearly likes the Katsan filler. Some complain about the price, but immediately add that it is worth the money.
Buyers of these products are divided in their preferences. Some people like absorbent filler, others are satisfied only with crumpled ones. It is mainly preferred by people who are often away for a long time at home.
If a person is forced to regularly go on business trips for a couple of days, the lodging Katsan will very much help out, and the apartment will not turn into one big cat toilet. Some people use it during long absences from home. There are those who mix Katsan with other brands of fillers to improve absorption.
Price for Katsan
Compared with domestic pet products of this type, this brand is considered quite expensive. If you buy a cat filler "Katsan", the price will be two to three times more expensive than affordable domestic. The exchange rate fluctuations of the ruble also affect the price, because this product is produced abroad. But we can say that for those who choose the Katsan filler, the price is of secondary importance. There will always be people who primarily prefer reliability, safety and quality.
