Is it necessary to use cat litter companion? The following is a detailed analysis of the necessity of using cat litter companion

 

1、 The role of cat litter companion

Cat litter companion is a deodorizing bead mixed in cat litter, mainly used to solve odor problems by absorbing and decomposing odors and volatile fragrances. It can enhance the odor absorption function of cat litter, improve the clumping effect of cat litter, and thus improve the odor problem of cats after excretion to a certain extent.

2、 Analysis of the necessity of using cat litter companions

Cat litter deodorizing ability:
If cat litter itself has good deodorizing ability and can effectively mask and absorb the odor of cat excrement, then it may not be necessary to use an additional cat litter companion.
If the deodorizing ability of cat litter is poor or the odor of cat excrement is strong, using a cat litter companion can improve this problem to some extent.
Individual habits of cats:
Different cats have varying levels of acceptance towards litter and litter companions. Some cats may feel uncomfortable with the scent or particles of their litter companion and refuse to use the litter box.
Therefore, before deciding to use a litter companion, it is recommended to observe the cat's reaction to ensure that they can accept it.
Family environment requirements:
For families with high requirements for household odor, using cat litter companions may help maintain a fresh home environment.
However, if the home environment is relatively open and well ventilated, and the odor of cat litter can be promptly emitted, then the necessity of using a cat litter companion is relatively low.

3、 Potential issues with cat litter companions

Easy to take out: Cat litter companions are usually smooth bead shaped, and cats can easily take the litter out of the litter box along with it when stepping on it, increasing the difficulty of cleaning.
Risk of accidental ingestion: Although cat litter companions are generally harmless to cats, there is still a risk of accidental ingestion. Especially for cats with strong curiosity or a tendency to chew on foreign objects, extra attention should be paid.
Acceptance issue: Not all cats can accept the scent and graininess of litter boxes, and some cats may refuse to use litter boxes as a result.

4、 Conclusion

Whether it is necessary to use a cat litter companion depends on the specific situation. If cat litter has good deodorizing ability and cats can accept the scent and graininess of cat litter companions, and the home environment has high requirements for odor, then using cat litter companions may be a good choice. However, if the cat litter itself is sufficient to meet the demand or if the cat has a rejection reaction towards the litter companion, the litter companion can be omitted. Before deciding to use a litter companion, it is recommended to conduct small-scale experiments to observe the cat's reactions and effects.
