Hip Cats Go Green - Environmentally Friendly Felines Live Litter-Free
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 23, 2007 -- Each year more then 4 billion pounds of cat litter are sent to landfills in the United States. Most of that litter, over 100,000 truckloads per year, is made from clay that is mined and does not biodegrade once in landfills.
To manufacture clay kitty litter all soil and vegetation is strip mined from the land leaving it virtually useless for future generations. The large carbon footprint of kitty litter is due to manufacturing and transportation during production and by consumers.
The US Environmental Protection Agency recommends that pet waste be flushed down the toilet allowing waste to be properly treated by sewage treatment plants and septic systems. Not properly disposing of pet waste increases public health risks by allowing harmful bacteria to wash into storm drains and eventually into local waterbodies. Bacterial waste and silica dust created by litter boxes can also contribute to health problems for felines and their owners.
So what environmentally friendly option do cat owners have?
"Train your cat to use the toilet," says Rebecca Rescate of CitiKitty, a virtually paperless company that uses wind power in its main facility. Rescate founded CitiKitty after successfully toilet training her 12 year old cat Samantha.
Cat toilet training is a decade?s old concept made simple and easy with the CitiKitty Cat Toilet Training Kit. Healthy cats of any age or breed can learn to use the toilet.
?Typically it takes four to six weeks to toilet train a cat who is at least three months old and currently uses a litter box. Not only does toilet training your cat benefit the environment,? says Rescate, ?but cat owners can also save thousands of dollars normally spent on kitty litter.?
Every CitiKitty toilet training kit comes with the specially designed CitiKitty Training Seat, easy-to-follow instructions and expert tips to help you through the training process.
Environmentally conscious cat owners can now help reduce strip mining, greenhouse gas emissions, and landfill litter just by toilet training their cats. For more information, visit www.citikitty.com
