If you walk into any pet shop, there must be mixed cat litter on the shelves. In this kind of products, the most common formula is that tofu cat litter and bentonite cat litter are mixed according to the ratio of 7:3.<\/p>\n

This “7:3 golden ratio” has almost become the default formula in the industry. But are you curious: Why this ratio? What is so special about it? Today we will make this secret clear from a scientific point of view.<\/p>\n

What is mixed cat litter?<\/h2>\n

Mixing cat litter simply means mixing two or more kinds of cat litter in a certain proportion, so that they can learn from each other.<\/p>\n

At present, the most mainstream mixing scheme on the market is tofu cat litter+bentonite cat litter. Tofu cat litter has the advantages of environmental protection, biodegradability and less dust, but it is not strong enough to agglomerate; On the contrary, bentonite cat litter is hard and absorbent, but the dust is relatively large and cannot be flushed.<\/p>\n

The purpose of mixing the two is one-complementary advantages.<\/p>\n

Why is it 7:3 instead of 5:5?<\/h2>\n

Many shovel officers may think: since each has its own advantages, why not meet each other half? The answer given by the study is: 7:3 is the best ratio after testing.<\/p>\n

When the mixing ratio of tofu cat litter and bentonite cat litter reaches 7:3, it has good performance in water absorption, agglomeration, dust rate and deodorization.<\/p>\n

The logic behind this ratio is this:<\/p>\n

Tofu cat litter accounts for 70%-ensuring environmental protection and low dust.<\/h3>\n

Tofu cat litter<\/a> is made of soybean fiber, starch and plant adhesive, which is naturally degradable.<\/p>\n

Its water absorption ranks high among all cat litter categories, and its dust rate is relatively low. The proportion of 70% can ensure that the “main tone” of the whole pot of cat litter is environmentally friendly and safe.<\/p>\n

Bentonite cat litter accounts for 30%-responsible for agglomeration and deodorization.<\/h3>\n

The core advantage of bentonite cat litter<\/a> lies in its fast agglomeration when it meets water, and it is very compact. Although the proportion of 30% is not high, bentonite particles are enough to be dispersed in the gaps of tofu cat litter. When the cat urinates, bentonite swells and clumps quickly when it meets water, which also “brings” the tofu cat litter together to form a solid lump.<\/p>\n

\"Tofu<\/p>\n

Simply put, tofu sand is responsible for quantity and bentonite is responsible for quality.<\/p>\n

What’s the actual performance of mixed cat litter?<\/h2>\n

From the actual experience of consumers, the performance of 7:3 mixed cat litter is relatively balanced in the following aspects:<\/p>\n

Fast and firm agglomeration:<\/strong> bentonite’s agglomeration ability makes up for the short board of tofu cat litter that is easy to agglomerate and disperse, and it is not easy to disperse when shoveling excrement.<\/p>\n

The dust is lower than that of pure bentonite:<\/strong> the tofu cat litter itself has less dust, which dilutes the proportion of bentonite after mixing, and the overall dust level is more friendly.<\/p>\n

Odor control is good:<\/strong> Tofu cat litter itself has certain deodorization ability, and with the adsorption of bentonite, the combination effect of the two is ideal.<\/p>\n

Cat’s Feet Adaptability:<\/strong> Tofu sand particles are coarse and bentonite particles are fine. After mixing, the hardness is moderate, which is acceptable to most cats.<\/p>\n

Of course, mixed cat litter is not perfect. Because it still contains bentonite, it is not completely biodegradable, and it is not recommended to flush into the toilet.<\/p>\n

We believe in transparent manufacturing. Because our 7:3 blend features high-purity mineral bentonite for rock-hard clumping, it cannot be flushed down the toilet<\/b>.

Summary<\/h2>\n

The golden ratio of 7:3 does not appear out of thin air, it is a scientific ratio based on material characteristics and actual tests. Tofu cat litter provides the foundation of environmental protection and low dust, while bentonite cat litter contributes to the hard strength of agglomeration and water absorption. The combination of the two makes the shovel officer find a good balance between “easy to use” and “safety”.<\/p>\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n

Q1: Can mixed cat litter be flushed down the toilet?<\/h3><\/summary>
A1: Not recommended. The mixed cat litter contains bentonite, which will not dissolve in water, and flushing it into the toilet may lead to pipeline blockage.<\/div><\/div><\/section>

Q2: Is a 7: 3 ratio the standard for all mixed cat litter?<\/h3><\/summary>
A2: 7:3 is the most common and mature ratio at present, but different brands may have fine-tuning, such as 6:4 or 8:2. The specific effect can be seen in the actual test data of the product.<\/div><\/div><\/section>

Q3: What is the replacement frequency of mixed cat litter?<\/h3><\/summary>
A3: According to consumer feedback, the 7:3 mixed cat litter can be used for about 15 to 20 days in a single cat family, but it depends on the cat's urine output and daily cleaning.<\/div><\/div><\/section>

Q4: Tofu cat litter mixed with bentonite cat litter, will cats not like it?<\/h3><\/summary>
A4: Most cats have a high acceptance of this combination. The foot feeling after mixing is between coarse sand and fine sand, which is gentler than pure bentonite and has more digging feeling than pure tofu sand.<\/div><\/div><\/section>

Q5: Is mixed cat litter more expensive than pure cat litter?<\/h3><\/summary>
A5: Usually more expensive than pure bentonite, but cheaper than high-end pure tofu sand. The cost performance is in the upper-middle level, which is suitable for families who want to balance performance and budget.<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n
