Cat litter can be replaced with sand, but sand can only be used temporarily once or twice in emergencies when cat litter is not available. Sand must not be used to replace cat litter for a long time. In daily life, owners should still use cat litter specifically for cats, which not only brings convenience to the owner, but also does not cause harm to the cat.

Hazards of using sand instead of cat litter

1. There are many bacteria and parasites in the sand, and cats can easily become infected during use.

2. Sand does not clump, so it will be difficult to clean when cleaning excrement. If it is not cleaned thoroughly, bacteria will easily breed.

3. Sand has no ability to absorb odors, nor can it cover up the smell of excrement, which will have an impact on the owner’s life. Living in a smelly environment for a long time will also cause cats and owners to Respiratory tract infections.
