Purina tidy cats lightweight litter has caused serious health issues in cats. They include wheezing, bloody nose, bloody urine and respiratory problems. If you are currently using this product, please keep a close eye on your feline’s health. Please consider avoiding purchasing this product if possible as it is not worth the risk.

This isn’t the first time a Purina product has been reported to adversely affect pets, we posted earlier this year that Beneful is facing a class action lawsuit for the death of 4,000 dogs.

As parents of furchildren, we need to be more aware of the food and products we give our babies and not be blinded by big budget campaigns and advertisements from giant pet brands. They may claim to have our pets’ best interests at heart but that is not always the case.

Every single one of you, please please reblog this to help inform others.

Actually gonna reblog this to my main blog because this should get more exposure

Be careful, pet owners, this is not a hoax. Some of the Amazon reviews are painful and sickening to read, this stuff is so damaging to pets. Don’t buy it, don’t let others buy it.

I literally just bought this at the store today. I will promptly return it.

Fair warning, this product is, in my experience, really, really terrible for people who have asthma or any kind of respiratory problems as well.

from the MSDS (material safety data sheet), purina tidy cats lightweight litter shouldn’t even be around humans for long periods. 

it contains perlite which is an industrial insulator. also silica and bentonite, which if fine enough are respiratory hazards. 

From the MSDS sheet: 

  • Dust may be irritating to skin, eyes and nasal passages. 
  • Maintaining occupation exposures to dust to levels less than the occupational exposure levels are recommended to minimize the potential for silicosis, respiratory tract, eyes and skin irritation. 
  • Health Hazard – Carcinogenicity 
  • Inhalation: Short Term: Dust may irritate the nasal passages. Long Term: Breathing small particles can be hazardous to lungs. This product contains crystalline silica in extremely small amounts. Crystalline silica in high concentrations can cause lung disease.

Even the MSDS sheet says you need to be in a well ventilated area and minimize exposure if using. That alone is a red flag.
