How to Make The Best Homemade Kitty Litter

Looking for an alternate to store bought kitty litter.

Things You'll Need

• newspaper
• baking soda

Instructions

1. Shred a whole bunch of newspaper into thin strips

2. Soak the newspaper in warm water mixed with a few squirts of gentle, biodegradable dish soap. You wont be able to get the newspaper completely clean but it will take alot of the ink out.

3. Drain the water (an old colander works wonders) and repeat the soaking process minus the soap.

4. Sprinkle baking soda liberally on the wet paper. Knead it in to the mixture (you might want to wear gloves to avoid getting ink on your hands).

5. Squeeze the remaining moisture out until it's as dry as you can get it.

6. Crumble over a screen and leave to dry (it takes a few days).

7. Once it's dry, I put about an inch and a half to two inches of the paper crumbles in the litter box, scoop solids daily and change it once a week.

Tips & Warnings

• You may want to wear gloves when working with the newspaper to avoid getting ink on them
