My cat Barnes has a kidney condition typical of adult male cats and his kidneys are gradually becoming less efficient than when he was a slip of a lad. I have to watch his diet and hydration carefully, and monitor his overall health in case he gets a blockage, which becomes an immediate emergency if that happens. The problem is that cats tend to just go off and hide in your laundry or under the porch when they get sick and don't tell us that something is wrong.
That's why I took notice when I saw this new "smart" kitty litter called ScoopLite that changes color based on the acidity/alkalinity of a cat's urine. Not only that, but it keeps the pee smell down, clumps, and is biodegradable. This new product is offered by Pet Ecology Brands, Inc., out of Texas, which "has been developing and manufacturing unique and patented products for pets that are environmentally and technologically advanced, earth-friendly and safe." Sounds good to me.
A built in early warning health system - now that's what I call a smart cat product! I think I'm going to order it and see how it works. I'll let you know.
