the "claw" experience - Attapulgite clay imitates outdoor setting preferred by cats
​
Some say, that kitty litter is probably the best invention in human history and civilization. And clay kitty litter is the original and arguably still the best - tried and tested kitty litter available. Attapulgite clay is 100% natural and has been used since 1964, when Edward Lowe invested the modern "cat sand".
​
The story is as follows: One day his neighbor Kay Draper asked him to replace the ashes she used in the cat box as her cat dragged footprints in the house and she needed a cleaner replacement. Edward advised her to use Fuller soil (that is Attapulgite clay), and the cat owners found that Attapulgite clay can not only absorb the ammonia odour but also does not stain the cat’s claws. At this time, the modern day kitty litter was invented!
Although cats have been domesticated by humans for thousands of years, it is only more recently last century that humans brought cats into indoor life.
Cats originated in the desert, so they instinctually prefer litters with a similar texture to sand.
Attapulgite clay cat litter is made from dried Attapulgite clay that easily absorbs urine.
Its granulated texture allows cats to bury their business.
