cat owners say contain humming in the house a lot easier than a dog. Cat, at least, no need to walk several times a day. Instead, you put in the appropriate box nook, pour sand into it, and impromptu "cat litter" will be ready. However, Western, and now the Russian manufacturers produce a variety of cat litter to absorb moisture well and do not spread odors.

 
lady named Kay Dreper - a resident of the village Kassopolis that in Michigan, has always had a handy supply of sand for her cat. But in the winter of 1948, during a severe frost, the unexpected happened - the sand is cold, and the woman went for help from their neighbors by the name of Lowe, unsuccessful entrepreneurs who have established production in the village of dried clay and tried unsuccessfully to sell their goods to nearby poultry farms under the guise of " best litter for nests. " Sly neighbors gave her neighbor a bag of clay pellets, assuring her that it was "best cat litter", though they never had their clay in such capacity. To the surprise of the hostess, dry clay granules completely fascinated by the cat. Merchants have found their luck there, where no chayali find it.

 
The main disadvantage of bentonite sorbent is directly derived from its main advantages.

To tray was always "pleasant" for the animal, it must be cleaned several times a day, which may not be very convenient for the owner. In addition, bentonite fillers are quite expensive. This is due to the fact that suitable for industrial development of deposits of bentonite rocks occur very rarely, and the production of lumps of sorbent rather difficult.

 
, however, and attapulgites and sepiolite are most commonly used fillers in imports, the price that high. However, these materials are not only among those that can be used for the production of fillers. For example, a very popular Russian fillers "Barsik effect" using natural sorbent, similar to the blue clay, and fillers in the local "Red Cat" is used zeolite.

 
silica fillers, according to many owners of cats that are most effective. But so far there is little demand in Russia. Sales of these fillers are rare, have an unusual appearance and expensive. Additionally, sales at pet stores can not always oyasnit buyer that the silica gel sorbent is very economical and therefore very inexpensive to use.

 
Organic fillers are mostly made of cellulose. The raw material for the production of these sorbents can be sawdust, chips, nut shells, corn cobs, or even waste paper industry. Cellulosic fillers have no very high absorbency posobnostyu, especially if you compare them with the best views of the mineral sorbent. But they are incomparably cheaper than mineral fillers, and hence more accessible affluent Russians. Such well-known Russian brand of cat lovers fillers like "Barsik-natural" or "Gamma.Natural" are made on the basis of cellulose. Cellulose fillers are absolutely harmless to animals and, by definition, contain no mineral dust. In addition, these sorbents - the only form filler that after using mono safely disposed of down the drain. However, zealous Russians noted that "processed" organic sorbent cat turns into an excellent fertilizer. That's the environment!

 
But in the West fillers have long turned into an everyday kind of pet, which heard the merits of each is more or less literate cat owner. Moreover, it even made special trays designed for use factory-made fillers. Recently, some American company has launched an automatic cat tray. The unit looks like a desktop copier, "charged" bentonite sorbent. After each "visit" the cat tray removes lumps in their own collection to fill up the hopper portion of the pellets, and even puts a fresh Sorento neat furrows. Operated by the tray itself, an electronic circuit. The stock of the sorbent is attached. According to the manufacturer, the device is "compatible" with all the cats. In Russia, this miracle of technology has not yet seen. But progress has not stopped, and, apparently, the emergence of "avtolotka" in Russian pet - a matter of time.
