Cats are masters of hiding illness or pain. \u00a0Typically, the only indication a cat owner may have regarding the\u00a0little tiger’s issue is when they become reclusive or start acting strangely. \u00a0Even then it can take pet parents a little while to pick up on subtle behavior changes in\u00a0pets that are notorious for their tendencies to be aloof at times. \u00a0That\u2019s exactly what the good people of Pretty Litter had in mind when they developed their product.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Checking<\/a>Pretty Litter<\/span><\/a> is a brand of litter that changes color to alert pet owners \u00a0in respect to health problems with their kitties. \u00a0The product is dust-free, scoopable, and eco-friendly. \u00a0On top of that, it is manufactured to react when abnormalities are detected, such as high acidity or alkalinity which could indicate inflammation and bladder issues common in older cats. \u00a0Detecting a host of other abnormalities as well also means getting Kitty to the vet before any issues get worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though people with younger cats probably wouldn\u2019t have to worry too much about keeping track of their jungles king\u2019s health, those with older cats (eight and up) might want to consider using something that would alert them to potential problems, especially if the kitty has a history of health concerns or might be developing diabetes, as can be common in large cats (12 pounds and up) as they age.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Checking<\/a>The price isn\u2019t too drastic a difference either. \u00a0Though it only comes in three-pound bags the company claims three pounds is all you need for a month supply, versus the 20 pounds usually used. \u00a0If those numbers are correct then it still averages to a $20 monthly cost of kitty litter.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have an older cat that is in the danger zone for developing health issues, Pretty Litter might be the early warning system you may want to consider putting in place.<\/span><\/p>\n
