Post neutered cat & litter box
Hello all,
I'm bringing home my kittie today that's just been neutered. What's the best litter for the litter box while he's recuperating? He's not supposed to use the standard litter. Any suggestions? Scott |

Scott I'm not sure, except "Yesterday's News" - or any other paper-based litter, maybe. Or even just rip up packing/newsprint type paper &/or newspaper (except I'd wonder about the ink of the latter). If you have a shredder, the contents of its basket might work. I wasn't advised to use anything other than regular litter when my male cat was neutered. He licked at the incision site now & again for a few days (not right after using the litter box, that I noticed), but other than that, it didn't seem to bother him in the least - IOW, there didn't seem to really be a recuperation period, AFAHWC.

Your vet should have offered a suggestion as to what to use if "standard litter" isn't appropriate. Call your vet and ask for their recommendation. Bill |

I also didn't have any "recuperation" requirements. Wendell hid under the
dresser for a while, but then he was his normal self and didn't really seem bothered by the incision. Carli "That's not a bee. That's a bear in a bee costume." |
