Flamingo Bentonite Clumping Cat Litter with Zeolite, Lemongrass Scent - 12kg

The Flamingo Bentonite Clumping Cat Litter with Zeolite, Lemongrass Scent is a 12 kg bag of fine clumping bentonite litter with zeolite mixed through it and a lemongrass fragrance instead of the usual floral or powder scents.

Key Features

• Zeolite blended into the clay, a porous volcanic mineral that traps ammonia rather than perfuming over it
• Sodium bentonite base that binds urine into a firm lump, so waste lifts out whole
• Lemongrass fragrance, sharper and less sweet than a baby powder litter
• Fine grains, and rated by Flamingo as high odour absorption, high absorption, economical in use and low dust
• Flamingo states it is also suitable for kittens
• Made by Flamingo Pet Products, a Belgian pet supplier based in Olen with more than 45 years in the trade

Getting The Best From It

• Most cats prefer a bed of litter around 5 cm deep. Too shallow and they will not dig; too deep and it tips out of the tray
• Scoop the clumps out daily and top up what you remove. Clumping litter works best when you take the waste out rather than change the whole tray
• Top up what you scoop rather than emptying the whole tray weekly
• Change litter gradually. Mix the new one in with the old over a week or so, because cats can refuse a tray that suddenly feels or smells different
• Never flush it. Bentonite swells and blocks drains
• Pour it in slowly from close to the tray to keep the dust down

Good To Know

• Scented litter is chosen for the person, not the cat. Some cats will not use a heavily perfumed tray at all, so if yours starts going elsewhere, try the unscented version before anything else
• Lemongrass is a citrus-adjacent scent, and cats are generally less tolerant of citrus notes than people are. Of the scented options in this range, this is the one most likely to be rejected
• Essential oils can be a problem for cats in concentrated form. A fragranced litter is not concentrated oil, but if your cat is asthmatic the unscented activated carbon bag is the safer pick
• Fine clay tracks on paws. A mat at the tray catches most of it
• Cat faeces can carry toxoplasma. Anyone pregnant or immunocompromised should leave the tray to someone else, or wear gloves and wash their hands afterwards
