The world’s first cat litter was born

Before cat litter, cats could only use dirt, sand, ashes, and even cinders to solve their poop problems. It wasn’t until the winter of 1947 that things took a turn for the better. Edward’s neighbor wanted to change the sand for the cat at home, but found that the sand was covered with thick snow. He could only ask the neighbor for help. Edward took the opportunity to recommend the factory’s new product— – Fuller’s clay, this clay can not only absorb the smell, but also will not make the cat’s paws dirty. Edward, who smelled the business opportunity, named this clay “cat litter”, and the world’s first cat litter was born.
