City cats with green living owners will love this natural wheat-based cat litter. It looks like conventional litter and clumps in a similar way, but is totally flushable and biodegradable. Natural wheat enzymes work to control odors and it is designed for homes with multiple cats, so can cope with heavy use.

As wheat is a renewable resource, and this is made from non-food grade wheat without any added chemicals, this is a great green choice for cat owners. It also tracks far less dust than conventional clay litters. The only downside mentioned by one review was that bugs were attracted to the litter but this can be avoided by storing the unused litter in sealed containers, as you would any other wheat product.

Right now its snowing and freezing rain here in Boston and I have to go down to shovel and de-ice our walk. My neighbor uses SafePaw and highly recommends it, sadly, I have to go across the street to see if I can borrow some – as I was thinking maybe we could squeek by this winter with no snow. Here is the scoop on SafePaw…

From SafePaw’s fact sheet “Children, pets, surfaces and the environment can be adversely affected by the use of rock salt and salt-based ice melter products used by households in the winter. A recent national survey shows that 60 percent of American households use these products in the winter. And, an alarming 62 percent are unaware of the health dangers associated with the use of these products. Safe Paw is the only 100 percent salt-free ice melter on the market and is 100 percent safe for children, pets, surfaces and the environment. It is the smart and safe product to use with winter, and Safe Paw’s pellets are green to make it easy for consumers to know the difference.”
