Can you flush cat litter?

The only person likely to advise you to flush mineral cat litter would be your plumber! Jokes apart, you should never flush litter, especially the mineral clumping sort. Even with products claiming to be flushable, we wouldn’t recommend you do this as it uses up too much fresh water and places further strain on waste treatment plants who are already struggling to deal with wastewater.

I’m pregnant, is it safe for me to change cat litter?

Cat faeces can be dangerous for pregnant women so if possible, you should avoid changing cat litter (explaining to your other half you are busy growing a new human!). If you do need to change your feline friend’s litter box yourself, wear a mask and rubber gloves and wash your hands very thoroughly afterwards.
