In fact, cat litter can cause allergies not only to your cat but also to you. In this chapter, we will introduce the main causes!

▸Cause 1: Cat litter dust

Mineral cat litter, especially bentonite, tends to produce a lot of dust.
Inhaling this dust can cause allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose and coughing.

Allergic symptoms caused by dust can be expected to be alleviated by choosing low-dust cat litter such as silica gel or paper-based litter.

▸Cause 2: Ingredients in cat litter

Some cat litters contain fragrances and chemicals.
These substances can cause allergic reactions and stress.

Allergic symptoms caused by fragrances and chemicals can be expected to be eliminated by choosing cat litter made from natural materials such as soybean pulp and wood.

Depending on the type and ingredients of cat litter, it may have a negative effect on the kidneys. In this chapter, we will introduce the main causes!

▸Cause 1: Dust

Mineral cat litter such as bentonite generates dust that cats inhale, putting a strain on their respiratory system. Cats with kidney disease have weakened immune systems, so the inflammation of the respiratory system caused by the dust can have a negative effect on their kidneys.

▸Cause 2: Silica gel cat litter

It is highly absorbent, and if a cat accidentally eats it, it will absorb water and expand in the body, which can cause intestinal blockage and kidney strain.

▸Cause 3: Fragrances and chemicals

Since the kidneys are responsible for excreting waste products from the body, the burden of processing these chemicals can place on the kidneys, which can lead to a decline in kidney function.

▸Cause 4: Cat litter ingestion

Kittens and playful cats can accidentally ingest cat litter, which can cause intestinal blockages and kidney problems depending on the type of litter.

These factors may raise concerns about adverse effects on the kidneys.
Keep an eye on your cat's health, and if you notice any changes in its condition, cat litter may be the cause. In such cases, consult with a veterinarian and pay attention to cat litter in your cat's daily life, and try to choose cat litter that is less stressful for your cat!
