Choosing a Cat Litter For Your Aging Cat

DETROIT LAKES, MN (January,May 2004) – As cats grow older, a host of feline health concerns can arise – including diabetes. Diabetic cats tend to urinate more often, and generate more urine than normal. The odor of their urine is also stronger than usual.

“Diabetes is a common problem in older cats,” says Dr. Kenton Beard, a licensed veterinarian. “They produce a larger volume of urine and it does tend to have a stronger smell. That’s due to the fact that cats, compared to humans, can’t regulate their glucose levels as well.”

Therefore, senior cats with diabetes need to have their litter box cleaned more frequently. For this reason, some owners of older cats are realizing they need a more effective litter – one that stops the strongest odors, handles a high volume of urine, and can be easily scooped and cleaned. That’s why more and more of them are turning to Swheat ScoopÆ Natural Wheat Litter.

Swheat Scoop is a unique clumping litter that’s made from naturally processed wheat. Through a patented process, its natural enzymes work to eliminate rather than mask litter box odors – even the extra- offensive odors associated with diabetic cats. Plus, Swheat Scoop’s natural wheat starches form firm clumps to make cleanups easy. And since each granule absorbs liquid like a sponge, the litter stays drier longer.

Because Swheat Scoop is clay free, the clumps can be easily flushed down the toilet without harming sewer or septic systems, eliminating the unpleasant task of disposing litter waste in the trash daily. And for older cats who may have more sensitive respiratory systems, it’s also 100 percent fragrance free and chemical free. All of these features make Swheat Scoop the best litter for owners with health concerns about their aging cats.

Swheat Scoop Natural Wheat Litter is available at Acme, Bel Air, BI-LO, Bozzuto’s, Demoulas/Market Basket, Dillons, Fry’s, Giant Eagle, Giant, Harris Teeter, Ingles, King Soopers, Kroger, Marsh, Meijer, Pathmark, Petco, PETsMART, Pet Supplies “Plus”, PET VALU, Price Chopper, Raley’s, Save Mart, Scolari’s, Shaw’s, ShopRite, Smith’s, Target, Tops, Whole Foods, and Wild Oats, as well as neighborhood pet stores.
