Best Answer

Clean cat litter is generally not toxic. If it were toxic to humans it would almost certainly be to the cat as well. It is, however, laced with odour-eating detergents which won't do you any real favours if ingested. Even if the cat litter has just come out of the bag it's always best to wash your hands after handling it. Cat Faeces, on the other hand, while not technically toxic, can contain bacteria that can have a detrimental effect on health. Avoid handling Faeces with bare hands and wash hands after contact, even when gloves were worn. Contact with the eyes can be especially bad news; it has been known for people to permanently loose the sight in one or both eyes due to infections caused by rubbing the eyes after handling dog & cat faeces. Always wash your hands thoroughly.

Cat eating cat litter Is this harmful?

Cats that eat cat litter is not healthy. it does not make them anything but sick and could kill them. what you need to do is keep him from eating it the best you can. Cat litter has chemicals in it that are toxic to cats. Also the clumping litter can clog the intestines and cause infection or death. Some cats eat cat litter because they are curious or they may have anemia...which could be caused by leukemia, kidney disease, chromic renal failure, or immundodeficency. If your cat is eating cat litter, take him/her to the vet. Change the cat litter to natural stuff, like pine, paper, corn or wheat...easier to pass through the system. Also even if your cat doesnt eat litter, they still get dust on their paws...and when they clean themselves, they get it in their systems. So change anyways
