Cat Litter : What is it?
| Cat litter is a material that absorbs moisture from cat urine and feces. It is placed in cat litter boxes to reduce foul odor and make it more tolerable in homes. It contains different components formulated to address various factors such as odor, absorbency, environmental impact, texture, cost, and safety. |
