In the wild, cats instinctively bury their urine and feces. Cat litter was borne of the same idea - to allow cats to dig and bury their urine and feces in one place, thereby making it easier for people to remove and throw out the waste
What is a dog litter?
A litter is the live birth of multiple offspring at one time in animals from the same mother and usually from one set of parents, particularly from three to eight offspring. The word is most often used for the offspring of mammals, but can be used for any animal that gives birth to multiple young.
Is it safe to sleep in a room with cat litter?
Sleeping in the same room as your cat's litter box isn't automatically dangerous, but it does come with some potential risks. One of the most common concerns is ammonia exposure. Cat urine releases ammonia, and in a poorly ventilated bedroom, this can cause throat irritation, watery eyes, or even headaches over time.
