Cats’ ancestors came from the desert. The dry and water-deficient environment made cats’ bodies develop the habit of absorbing water to the extreme before excreting it, so the smell of cat excrement is very strong. In order to avoid natural predators in the wild, cats need to bury their strong-smelling excrement.

This habit has continued to this day. As we have already perceived, the degree of human domestication of cats is very low, and cats still maintain most of their wild habits. The most prominent manifestation here is defecation (but in recent years, we have gradually observed that more and more cats are less likely to bury their feces).

I believe that those who have lived in rural areas must have used briquettes at home. Briquettes have utility value before or after use, and they are also cheap. I remember that in the past, if a child pooped on the floor, the adults would go to the kitchen to get some used cinders to absorb. At that time, cats at home would also use pots of coal cinders as "cat litter."

So I believe that many poop scrapers will have this idea. Can briquettes be used to replace cat litter? After all, briquettes are easy to use and don’t cost money. People’s eyes will be dazzled by the fancy cat litter, and it is still useful. Extremely fast.

Not to mention that it’s hard to find used briquettes now, and even if you find them, don’t use them on cats. Don’t harm cats because of petty gains. Let’s not go back to the lifestyle we had twenty years ago. ah. Below, the editor will analyze why cinders cannot replace cat litter for those who have this idea.

Briquettes are not very common

The usage rate of briquettes is higher in rural areas, but almost extinct in cities. Even when I lived in the countryside a few years ago, it was rare to see people using briquettes. After all, natural gas has become popular and the price is very cheap. Few people use briquettes to live their lives anymore.

In fact, if you really calculate it, the time or transportation cost just to find the cinders after using briquettes must be quite high, so cat litter will be more convenient.

Only cinders have the function of cat litter

Many people will definitely say that the Internet is so developed now that it is still not possible to buy some briquettes. In fact, the editor wants to say that it is possible to buy briquettes online, but are you sure that the briquettes you buy can replace cat litter? After all, only the burned cinders have the deodorizing and water-absorbing function of cat litter!

Used cinders will have adsorption properties. If you bring unused briquettes into your home, it will not only make your home dirty, but it will also be useless. The scavenger must first find a way to convert the briquettes into cinders, and they must also remove them. honeycombThe coal must be burned thoroughly, otherwise the unburned briquettes will produce toxic gases, which will affect the cat's health.

Not good for the cat’s health

Nowadays, most of the cats raised by shit-shoveling officials are pet cats. In terms of physique and other aspects, they are more fragile than our garden cats, just like flowers in a greenhouse.

When the cinders are crushed and used as cat litter, there will be a lot of dust in it. If the cat defecates on it and comes into contact with the cinders, it is likely to infect the urinary system, which will cause harm to the body.

Although pastoral cats raised in the countryside may defecate anywhere, their physiques are stronger, so I hope some cat owners will not take chances and think that their cats will not be so fragile. Really I'm sick and it's too late to regret.

It may not be in line with the master’s wishes

Cats use cat litter to bury their feces and prevent enemies from finding them, so they have the habit of burying it. And just imagine, cinders are so hard, it doesn’t feel good for cats to step on them. After they poop, use their paws to pick up the cinders. The hardness may also make them feel tired, and it will also make them feel tired. Isn’t it convenient that there will be cinders between the fingernails and the scavenger needs to clean them up? After stepping on the cinders, walk around the house again, and the scavenger will go crazy, right?

To sum up, if you have a pet cat at home, don’t use briquettes instead of cat litter, as it can easily lead to big problems! Wouldn’t it be a good idea for all you scavengers to choose cat litter? After all, it is made using scientific methods. Yes, you don’t have to worry about the deodorizing, water absorbing and clumping properties at all!
