In the last issue, we mentioned that tofu cat litter has been greatly promoted in China since 2018, and is sought after by the younger generation of cat owners. However,
The invention of cat litter was really an accident. Before the invention of cat litter, American urban families kept cats. Cats usually used wastepaper, sand, wood chips and other materials to go to the toilet, as well as ash and cinders. They all had a common problem. It just couldn’t cover up the smell. In addition, the cat woke up and entered the room, leaving dirty footprints on the floor. It was very troublesome for housewives to clean, and they were all distressed.
In the winter of 1947, a businessman named Edward, his neighbor raised several Cat, it snows in winter, and the sand is frozen by the thick snow and cannot be pulled, so she turns to Edward for help. Edward is a businessman, and there happens to be a product called fuller’s soil particles. The main components of fuller’s soil are kaolin, montmorillonite, composed of sepiolite and palygorskite, it was mainly used to treat oil stains in wool at that time. Edward used Fuller’s clay to his neighbors. Unexpectedly, the neighbors responded that it was OK. Unexpectedly, the neighbors reported that the deodorizing effect of Fuller’s soil is very good, and the cat’s paws are no longer dirty, and the floor of the house is clean. Edward was deeply inspired and began to pack Fuller’s soil particles into small bags, named Cat Litter, sold successfully in the market, this is the first generation of cat litter products.
