For eight years, cats have been exposed to hundreds of cases of urination, bladder inflammation and urination。
To say the truth, many people are afraid to tell: the vast majority of cats have urinary problems, a habit of pissing out bad, not a physical problem at all, and are forced out by the dirty cat casserole。
And even more so:
You think you're lazy, you don't know how to raise a cat, but the whole cat and sand business is deliberately misleading ordinary people。
I'll teach you how to change sand once in a few days. But no one told you: why do cats still hold their urine, their stress, their illness? Why do merchants always advocate a bag of sand for half a month
Today, i combine the data of veterinary journals, the principles of animal behaviour, with my years of actual experience of pedaling, saving, comparing dozens of cat sands, not talking about the holocaust, but about the bottom truth that ordinary people don't understand and businesses don't want to talk about。
I. My personal position: push, hold, hold
It's the most lethal cat in the wrong zone。
I used to think so:
As long as i wipe the shit out every morning and every night, and the cat's sand looks clean and clean, and the house doesn't taste, it's fine。
I didn't completely reverse my old perception until i was exposed to the case and saw the pet behavior study:
The cleanness of our humans and the cleanness that cats need is not a standard at all。
Cats are desert-evolving species, with extremely high urine concentrations and very high levels of salt, urine and metabolites。
What we can remove is the apparent urine of the block。
But each time a cat pees, a fraction of the micro-ure is seep into the bottom of the sand, and the naked eye can't see it, it can't close it, it can't smell it。
These remnants are the source of evil。
They accumulate less on the ground floor and form an invisible urea base and a saline shell。
At constant temperatures, bacteria begin to decompose residual urine in two hours, releasing ammonia on a continuous basis。
You think cats are clean and dry。
In the cat's nose, the toilet has been slowly fermenting, stinging and stimulating the urinal tract。
Authoritative research is not empty words, as the journal of cat medicine and surgery clearly states:
Long-term low-intensity ammonia odour exposure increases cat cortisol and induces pressure bladderitis, i. E. Fic specific bladderitis repeated by most cats。
The clinical records of aafp's american society of catal veterinary also confirm that:
Cats are very vexed, and once they pee in a sandbasket with an irritating taste, they always remember this discomfort。
What's going on back there
Quick-in-the-basket pissing, reluctance to bury shit, foot walking, frequent use of the toilet, holding the piss and pissing around..
It's not a rebellion at all, it's the one who can't get down, suffer and be afraid。
Ii. Inside the industry: why do merchants tell you that “cats can be used for a long time”
I'm telling the truth about the industry
All cat sands that advocate “super-long antibacterium, non-replacement for one month and persistent non-savoury” are essentially using poor information to mask product deficiencies。
The cat and sand industry is now extremely incisive, and the cost of raw materials, freight, advertising and advertising is extremely high。
Small factories and low-end goods have no profit margin to make good-quality raw materials and can only harvest freshmen by two means:
1. "smelling the stink" with perfume and odor
A lot of cheap cat sands, just bagged of fragrance and deodorant cows。
In fact, it's industrial fragrances, odours, fermentation。
You smell nice and clean
In fact, the grasshoppers, the urine salt, the fungus have been growing wildly。
Businesses make you feel "durable" by nature, so you don't smell dirty, not dirty。
2. Reducing costs by filling waste at the expense of bottom cleanness degrees
Low-cost sands are commonly mixed with large amounts of stone powder, starch residues and industrial waste。
The surface grouping appears to be fine, with a week or so of direct failure, retide and water seepage。
Businesses are afraid to tell you the real change cycle
Once the truth is that “seven days must be changed”, you find that the materials are too expensive and the products are not working well。
So, it's one thing to say: long-lasting, lazy evangelical, half a month without changing sand。
My personal summary of industry discipline:
The more you preach "super-long stand-by" cats, the more you make them sick。
It's really good sand, it's the smell of material, not the smell of perfume。
Three or three dominant cats, the real life i measured
I don't copy the internet template, it's the true cycle of my years of cross-matching, changing sands, observing cat status。
1. Extractive earth sands (me personally most recommended but shortboarded)
It's solid, it's real, it doesn't depend on perfume。
But the biggest problem is that the dusty, tiny residues are at the bottom and very easily form bacterial beds。
- single cat: 2-3 weeks must be replaced
- double cat: 7-10 days
- cats: 5-7 days
A lot of people don't change their land for a month or two
Cats look all right, but long-term mild stress and chronic urinary tract irritation。
2. Tofu sand (the newbie's favorite and the easiest to step on the pit's “the fake clean king”)
I'm just saying that tofu is a natural structural flaw。
The plant is pore wide, looks dry and pees directly through the bottom。
The surface is always clean and beautiful and the bottom is always wet and fermented。
And that's why a lot of poking officials wonder:
"i shovel shit every day, and i look clean. How come cats piss all of a sudden?"
It's the bottom mold, the fungus。
- no more than 14 days for a single cat
- the cat family has to change in seven days
Crystal sand
Crystal sands have no problems with urine deposition, but there are fatal blind areas: local saturation and you can't see it。
Some particles are filled with urine long ago, while the others are normal and the naked eye cannot be identified。
No days, sticky, darker, whole unlighted, all change immediately。
Iv. No days to die. My best set of cat behaviors
I believe more in cat body feedback than in calendars, which is the way animal behavior is judged most poorly。
Any one of them, whether it took you 3 or 10 days to change, wash the pot
One, go to the bathroom, go in for a few seconds
It's not that it's efficient, it's the pot. It doesn't want to stay for another second。
Two, crazy pelvis, no sand, no shit
Typical aversion signal: it's not safe or clean at the bottom。
Three, a lot of peeing. Points
The rate of long-term mild irritation has shown signs of urine frequency。
Many people think it's a matter of water and cat food
It's simple: the toilet is dirty and cats can't piss fast。
V. Correcting the rinsing zone for everyone
There are many courses on the internet that teach you to change sands by using 84, disinfectant, deodorant。
And i say responsibly with years of practical experience: it's the dumbest and the worst operation for cats。
Cats are dozens of times more sensitive to their smell。
84. Sterilizing fluids, aromatic residues, are highly irritating gases for cats。
The aafp clinical data support this:
A large number of cats peed, not because of the dirty sand basin, but because of the smell of disinfectant water。
My personal standard process (stability, zero stress):
Cleaning up old sands, rinsing hot water, rinsing, drying up, drying up, making new sands
The most advanced strain of cat maintenance: dry, not disinfectant water。
By the way, cat sand thickness:
Five to eight centimeters is gold。
It's too thin, it's too thin, it's too thin, it's too thin, it's so damp, it's full of details。
Vi. Special circumstances: change everything if you have to
In combination with the veterinary literature and personal assistance experience, these types of situations must be replaced immediately:
- cats soft, diarrhoeay
- it's moist, it's stale, it's boring
- cats are inflamming with bladderitis, urine blood, urinal tracts
- spam in the casserole
The ncbi data is very real:
Cats have diseases of the urinary system, taking only medications and not changing the sand basin environment, with a relapse rate of nearly 70 per cent。
The medicine cures the disease, the change of the sand breaks the roots. Many people only do half。
Vii. My final deep summary
I've had cats all these years, and the biggest lesson is:
Cats are never the most expensive。
It is a lack of understanding of bottom logic, misleading by industry rhetoric, saving small amounts of money, and ultimately spending a great deal of money to cure the disease。
The merchants told you to be durable, save and change less so that you feel the value of the product is higher。
But i won't tell you: it's at the expense of cat urinary health and mental state。
Ordinary people only read "clean eyes"。
Senior pets look at “micro residues, bacterial environment, cat behavioral emotions”。
Cats don't talk, they don't yell at you, they don't complain about you。
It can only hold its urine in silence, its stress, its disease in silence and its final excretion。
So-called scientific cat
To be clear, it's harder to understand it than a cat, and more true than a businessman。
Talk about your real experience:
Have you ever been so confused
Every day you work hard to shovel shit, and all of a sudden the cat pees, pees, doesn't like shit
The comment section tells me that i'm free to analyze the root causes of your problems
