Purina Tidy Cats Tidy Care Alert Health Monitoring Litter with Silica Crystals – 8 lb. Bag

First, you’ll need to establish what color is “normal” for your unique cat. This will be your baseline for all future color comparisons. ESTABLISHING YOUR BASELINE: 1. Start with a clean box. Fill with 2 to 3 inches of Alert. 2. Within 2 hours of use, compare litter crystals to color guide. 3. Keep observing the color, since it can vary naturally throughout the day, particularly 1 to 2 hours after eating. After 5 days, determine the most common color within the normal range. This is your baseline. NOTE: If the color remains outside of the normal range, call your veterinarian. READING YOUR RESULTS: Once you’ve established a baseline color for your cat, monitor the litter box daily. If you see a color that is consistently outside the normal range—and it persists for more than two days—it’s time to call your veterinarian to discuss next steps. CONTINUING USE: 1. Scoop solids daily to ensure optimal absorbency. (No urine clumps means easy maintenance!) 2. Stir frequently, adding Alert as needed to maintain 2- to 3-inch depth. 3. After 20 to 30 days (for one cat), dispose of used litter, wash box using mild detergent, dry, and refill with 2 to 3 inches of Alert litter. NOTE: Cleaning box with bleach or adding baking soda deodorizer can alter color results.
