Catekò is produced solely by processing clean, recycled scrap paper generated by the manufacturing of various paper products. “Clean” means that it doesn't contain lead or other harmful chemicals usually associated with printing. The clean recycled paper is washed and dried before adding natural and biological ingredients. Finally, it is transformed into a granular texture that is soft and pleasan
t to the touch. This unique texture represents the single most relevant factor that greatly differentiates Catekò litter from every other paper-made litter on the market, especially paper pellets. Because of the carefully developed shape and size of its flakes,Catekò litter is designed to be soft to the touch and will not get stuck in your cat’s paws. Paper pellets are much harsher and often cause discomfort to finicky cats. Catekò is 100% biodegradable and can be flushed down the toilet, thus eliminating the need to sift and dispose of traditional cat litter in the trash, which ends up in landfills. Catekò features an extremely low dust level that allows you and your cat to breathe easier in a healthier home environment. Unlike many other litters, it does not contain harmful silica particles, chemicals, or flowery fragrances. Catekò contains a patented natural additive that eliminates odors and is safe for your cat and the environment. Catekò is three times more absorbent than clay litter and is extremely light. Catekò reduces digging noise, can be compressed to save space, is easier to lift and carry, is optimal for people living in apartments who cannot let their cat outside, and for the elderly, who have difficulty in lifting heavy clay cat litters. Catekò is ideal for old or injured cats for which digging is difficult and painful. Also, because of its softness, it will not scratch your floors, especially expensive wood floors, and is easy to vacuum.
