Stop Buying Cat Litter! This $5 Homemade Recipe Lasts a Month and Smells Better

🐾 Want a longer, healthier life for your cat — and to support the channel while you're at it? My complete owner's manual is here: https://stevecooperpets.com/ Your cat isn't peeing beside the box to spite you. She's telling you the litter is wrong, and the perfume on the bag may be the reason. Here's how to make cheap, unscented homemade cat litter for a few dollars, and how to read what your cat has been telling you from her litter box all along. Steve Cooper isn't a vet, but he's lived with cats his whole life and fostered more than he can count. In this video he shows you step by step how to make DIY newspaper cat litter from plain newsprint, unscented dish soap and baking soda. He also covers an even cheaper option most cat owners walk right past: kiln-dried pine stall pellets from the feed store. You'll hear the honest limits of both, and why cedar and essential oils shouldn't go anywhere near your cat. You'll learn why scented litter can drive a cat away from the box, and how to read the "box vote": perching on the rim, scratching the floor, shaking her paws. You'll see how to switch litter without stress, and the free odor fix that works better than any spray: scooping every day, the right box size, and one box per cat plus one. We also cover why you shouldn't flush cat litter (Toxoplasma and California's sea otters), and the one litter box sign that means a trip to the vet tonight, not tomorrow.
