Notice to users of "flushable" litter...

[moosmom]

I've been told that because cat poo can contain the toxoplasmosis bacteria, it is NOT safe to flush ANY cat poos down the toilet, as it will find it's way into our waters (i.e., sewers, waste treatment plants, etc.) I saw it on tv yesterday when they were comparing different litters. The veterinarian they were interviewing urged people when scooping their litterboxes, to put it into a bag and into the garbage.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Ah Donna that is an interesting fact, i have flushable litter, but have never put it down there, and felt bad putting it in bags and then in the garbage, i would put some in the garden, but i have such a small garden, it would not work, tried that for a while as felt bad about putting it in the rubbish bags,however will continue to do so.

Since we are speaking about litters, six months ago i had to change from recycled paper pellets as they just stopping stocking it , i was mad, but changed to clumping litter which is very like sand, and the kitties love it, and so do i so much more economical etc, yesterday we could not find it on the supermarket shelves, grrr... i was mad again, but now discovered they have improved it, in nice paper bags,instead of these annoying boxes we had and now scented with lavendar, bit more expensive, but bigger bags, so probably not much in it, now i wonder who decided that cats like the smell of lavendar, know that i do, but cats do they?anyhow they are using it faithfully, my good girls lol.

Yeah - what are they going to do about that? Come to think about it, I've read that some forms of hepatitis can be passed through urine.

Now, none of us can use the toilet
