*NOT an AD

Lately, pretty litter has been seen everywhere on social – with celebrity endorsements including Martha Stewart. This litter says it monitors your cat’s health – “Pretty Litter’s lightweight litter monitors feline health by changing colors when it detects abnormalities in your cat’s urine.”  A nifty way to check your cat, since they are unable to tell you what is wrong when they have symptoms.   Pretty Litter is a subscription-based product created by Daniel Rotman who “lost a beloved cat that showed no obvious signs of sickness.”

How does it work?

The crystals in Pretty Litter change color based on your cat’s urine – by monitoring the pH level.

If the crystals turn the following, you will know your cat’s health

• Olive green – normal pH urine
• Blue – urinary tract infection (UTI)
• Dark orange – metabolic acidosis and kidney tubular acidosis
• Red – Blood in urine

According to a review by Wired.com – Pretty litter rated it as a 6 out of 10 – stating it “ Potentially monitors a cat’s health and may offer preventative care. Produces less waste.” The con was: “Not all cats like crystal litter. Very dusty. Can be hard to tell what the color designation is for. On the pricier side.”
