Is this litter flushable?

I would never consider flushing any cat litter. The box does not say it is.

Don't ever flush ANY litter, regardless of what a box says. It swells, hardens and clumps in water. Ask any reliable plumber who has dealt with clogged and overflowing toilets. Bacteria and parasites, not filtered by system, get into water supply--not good for us or marine animals.

I just went onto 'worlds best' website and they say that all of their corn-based clumping litters are flushable- both sewer and septic safe. NSF tested (whatever that means).

I never flush the used litter. I just bag it up and toss it. I honestly can't answer your question. Perhaps call the manufacturer and inquire about it with them.

I don't recommend doing so. There is a rack that combs through the litter that is meant for moving the cat poop but not necessarily a clump of litter.

I don't have an official answer from the company but flushing a couple down with the waste should be fine. I would avoid dumping the entire box down the toilet. However the couple that get stuck should flush just fine according to reviews I read on a pet store web site. I avoid it all together because and just bag it we are on a new septic system and I have a picky husband:)

No, not at all. You'll need to use a clumping litter. However, buyer beware - be sure to read carefully all the reviews, because you'll find that this isn't necessarily built well, and you'll need to claim on the warranty.

I haven't. If it is any help, I use a litter box lined with a garbage bag, and then filled with the litter. I guess it is because my cat urinates so much at a time, but it soaks all the way through the fairly thick litter, and while clumped together, the clumps stick to the plastic at the bottom of the litter box.

This product does not indicate that it is flushable. My own opinion on this...... I wouldn't flush any of this type of item down plumbing because I read that these (along with diapers and tampons) are causing major blockages in city sewer systems. Even if they say that they break down, they can't be manufactured to break apart efficiently while still staying together to perform its function -- which is to keep the person and the caregiver (if needed) clean and separate from the substance they are wiping off.

I think it'd be okay to flush a few pellets (for example, sweeping stray ones off the floor) but I wouldn't dispose of large amounts in the toilet. I just dump the entire contents of the litter box every other day (no scooping-- just throw everything away). Refilling the box with a thin layer of these pellets every other day is comparable in price to carving out pee blocks from clumping cat litter, or sifting poops from the crystals, and it's much easier.

Yes. After each use by your cat it scoops the litter and washes the reusable litter. You hook the Genie up to your water line and run a hose to your drain so it actually flushes the sanitized waste. Once every couple of months you use a maintenance cartridge to clean the units inside and prevent lime buildup. I love the Genie. I have three cats and have used it for three months with no problems at all. I just add a few new pellets every week, and change the cartridge about every month.

Hi -- I don;t know why they removed that notice from the bag but every plumber I have asked tells me to never flush litter down the pipes -- we have septic & it may be safe for the septic but the litter gets clogged up in the household pipes & creates trouble before it gets out TO the septic tank/sewer line. Maybe people told the WBCL that they had had trouble even tho the litter bag said it was safe to flush so they decided to not use that anymore?

Yes! And this litter box is great. I use it for my ratties and it saves so much mess! :)

Yes. It states on the side it is both septic and sewage safe.I have a septic tank and have been flushing this litter for about 2 years and haven't had a problem.

I can't say for sure, but my understanding us that you should never flush cat poop down a toilet due to the toxoplasma. I would think all cat litter is not okay on septic systems, but you can double check with the company to be sure.

Yes the poop is left until you scoop. However the smell remains for only about 10 minutes; with my cats it is only a few minutes but they eat a very healthy grain free diet. Honestly the smell of having litter (even unscented) is worse to me than a few minutes of poo smell. I have 1 box for 2 cats and I'd never go back to litter. I am actually going to buy a second one because I just took in a foster cat so she has a regular litter box and I have to say the only thing I smell in my house is her unscented litter.

The product is reclaimed wood pulp and I compost discarded litter, so yes, it's biodegradable. I don't know about flushing it. You don't want to have plumbing issues! The company phone number for questions is 360-734-7415, or go to carefresh.com.

Yes. Its very cushiony and holds the litter scatter pretty well. Remember the cats actually touch it for about one second before or after they do their business ;)
