Wood ash for cat litter?

Yep, I remember when I referred to IBK Fergus as a boy, several people
in this group took me to task! -Rhonda

Wow, at least TWENTY ONE? That is wonderful! You are taking great cat of

My mother often gets muddled up about whether Snoopy and Baggy are boys or
girls, when I pointed it out to her once she said "I don't think about sex
with animals", when I said I'm very glad to hear it she realised what she
had just said. ;o)

Isn't wood ash + liquid either highly acid or highly alkaline? As
in
lye.

Jo

Dunno. that's why I'm asking.

Yes, its highly alkaline.

KFC is using the woodash because its most likely the only other place
which
has some seblence to cat litter (ie, diggable). However, woodash is
highly
alkaline in the presence of moisture. Poor KFC would have this stuff on
his
paws, would be ingesting it when he cleans his paws, and would also
most
likely be inhaling it whilst he digs in it (not to mention it being
tracked
through the house). With a pH of 12, this stuff will actually dissolve
flesh (over time), and is very bad for one's skin.

Woodash is a really *bad* idea for cat litter.


Phew. Recovering from the blast. I was only asking. Kitty is a
girlcat,
and she has two litterboxes without having to use woodash. Since she
used
it, I just wondered is all. Blimey., calm down please. You make it
sound
like there is no other place for my poor cat to use except woodash and
this
isn't so. She is at least 21 yo and sometimes she forgets where her
proper
boxes are.

Sorry if "blast" was the the way it read, it wasn't written with that
intention.

Also sorry to refer to KFC as a boycat when she's a girlcat.


It's ok, I am a bit over-sensitive at the moment. Just bear with me and
excuse any irritable responses for now.
Sorry, Yowie. I'm not quite my normal self right now.
I *did* want to know if woodash was dangerous for Kitty Farmcat to use as
litter, so thanks.

I am happy to buy litter for her, I don't begrudge her anything she needs,
but if she likes to use wood ash, and I have a regular supply of it, why
not
use it? What do you all think?

When in doubt, Read The %**#$% MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET (RTFMSDS)

Thank you for this useful link which I hadn't realised existed. I must ask
you again when I need advice ;-)

Ha - that sounds like something *I* might say. I'm forever putting my
foot in my mouth by saying something that has another, far more
embarrassing meaning, and not realizing it until it's too late.

I can't take too much credit for it. She is a real toughie. Owned, then
feral for years, I started to feed her in the garden in 1995. She made her
living mousing around my chicken huts, unable to come in as I had whippets
at the time. She was sensible enough to know that she would be an ex-cat if
she had tried.
After all the whippets had gone to the RB, she waited two months and then
presented herself on the doorstep, saying "I understand you have a
vacancy.."
Well, what could I do?
When she needed emergency TED treatment around 3 years ago, they
conservatively guessed her age at 18.
She is certainly very old, very, very old. However she is young enough to
tell you that she isn't. No-one would dare to disagree.
Besides, she has her wink-wink, Licky, that keeps her up and interested ;-)
