What if a cat eats cat litter?

A cat eating litter may be because the litter’s scent is too strong, making the cat mistake it for something edible; it is recommended to switch to unscented bentonite litter. In addition, if the litter box is too close to where the cat eats, the cat may confuse litter with food, so place the litter box away from the food bowl.

Finally, you can collect some of the cat’s feces and urine and put them in the litter box, and do not scoop it too clean each time, so the cat learns that litter is for burying waste. Eating too much litter at once can cause indigestion or intestinal blockage; if the cat vomits frequently or loses appetite after eating litter, take it to a veterinary hospital promptly.
