If you think the litter smells bad, your cat can smell it from the next room. If you use a high-quality litter, there is no need to add a protective cover, deodorizing powders, or perfumes. These solutions are more likely to bother your cat than solve the odor problem. Unpleasant odors come from ammonia, which forms when cat urine comes into contact with oxygen. The best solution is to choose a litter that blocks and neutralizes ammonia formation […] - [How to choose the best litter](https://intersand.com/us/comment-choisir-la-meilleure-litiere/): 5 characteristics of good litter Exceptional odor control Cats have a particularly well-developed sense of smell, far superior to that of humans.

Dites-vous que si vous trouvez que la litière sent mauvais, votre chat, lui, la sent depuis la pièce avoisinante. Si vous utilisez une litière haut de gamme, vous n’avez aucunement besoin d’ajouter de couvercle protecteur, de poudres désodorisantes ou de parfums. Ces solutions risquent plus de déranger votre chat que de régler le problème d’odeur. Les odeurs désagréables proviennent de l’ammoniac qui se forme lorsque l’urine du chat entre en contact avec l’oxygène. L’idéal est de […] - [What to do when a cat doesn’t use the litter box?](https://intersand.com/us/what-to-do-when-a-cat-doesnt-use-the-litter-box/): Why is my cat peeing outside its litter?

Les problèmes d’élimination inacceptable chez les chats sont malheureusement l’une des principales causes d’abandon. Or, si on se penche sur la cause initiale de ce comportement, on se rend compte qu’il est très souvent possible de la résoudre; surtout si on se pose les bonnes questions rapidement. Le terme élimination inacceptable fait référence au dépôt de fèces ou d’urine sur des surfaces horizontales ou verticales dans des endroits considérés comme inacceptables par le parent du chat (tapis, vêtements, chaussures ou autres). Il y a plusieurs facteurs qui peuvent expliquer des problèmes d’élimination inacceptable, […] - [Choosing and maintaining a litter box](https://intersand.com/us/choosing-and-maintaining-a-litter-box/): Choose a large litter box Among the wide range of litter boxes available in pet stores, choose one that is spacious enough for your cat to feel comfortable when using it. It should be large enough for your cat to turn around, scratch the litter, and crouch down easily without being hindered by the sides of the box. The ideal dimensions vary depending on the size of your cat. If you have a purebred cat, such as a Savannah, Bengal, or Maine Coon, your litter boxes should be much larger than those designed for medium-sized domestic cats, for which the […] - [Choosing and maintaining a litter box](https://intersand.com/en/choisir-et-entretenir-un-bac-a-litiere/): Choose a large litter box Among the wide range of litter boxes available in pet stores, choose one that is spacious enough for your cat to feel comfortable when using it.

Il doit pouvoir se tourner, gratter le substrat et s’accroupir aisément sans être gêné par les parois du bac. Les dimensions idéales varient en fonction de la taille de votre félin.

Cats often struggle to adapt to a move, sometimes have difficulty accepting a new partner in their guardian’s life, and they all have their little habits—like meowing in the kitchen at 5:10 p.m. because they know mealtime is near. At first, the lockdown already had consequences on the well-being of some cats, as it happened overnight, abruptly changing their routine. For other cats, lockdown increased their daily enrichment. Indeed, with their guardian staying home, they were more available to play […] - [How to prepare your cat for post-lockdown and your absence](https://intersand.com/us/how-to-prepare-your-cat-for-post-lockdown-and-your-absence/): Changes in routine: a source of stress for cats All cat guardians know that cats are highly sensitive to routine.

Les chats ont souvent du mal à s’adapter à un déménagement, ils rencontrent parfois des difficultés à accepter le nouveau compagnon de vie de leur adoptant et ils ont tous leurs petites habitudes, comme de venir miauler dans la cuisine à 17 h 10, car ils savent que l’heure du repas approche. En premier lieu, le confinement avait déjà entraîné des conséquences sur le bien-être de certains chats, car c’est arrivé du jour au lendemain, […] ## Pages - [Patents](https://intersand.com/us/patents/): Patents Our premium litters are based on several patented and patent-pending technologies.
