This KatKor non absorbent cat litter is the leading product for collecting your cats urine & faecal samples that are needed for further analysis when a problem is suspected. This can be key to helping your vet determine quickly and accurately any issues and resolve any problems.
Katkor acts in the same way as normal cat litter, however the urine drains directly to the bottom of the litter tray, making it easy to collect.
Samples of urine can be collected for protein, glucose, acetones, blood and weight analysis. It is also suitable for collecting faecal samples for worm eggs and digestion markers. If a urine sample is required for bacterial analysis, however, an aseptic bladder tap is advised.
Katkor can help to differentiate the various types of crystals. It is also easier to choose the right diet for your cat such as an anti-struvite diet or a diet to treat oxalate or urate urolithiasis. With this your vet can determine more accurately when to change over from a diet that reduces inflammation to a diet that prevents recurrence.
Clean the litter tray thoroughly, rinse with clean, lukewarm water to remove remaining traces of cleaning/bleaching agents, dry the litter tray using kitchen paper or toilet paper.
Sprinkle KatKor onto the middle of the litter tray. Return the tray to its original location.
Faeces should be removed immediately to avoid contamination of urine.
Urine samples should be taken as soon as possible after urination. To do this, squeeze the air valve at the end of the pipette supplied and tilt the litter tray resting it on one corner. Place the pipette in the bottom corner of the tray and then collect the urine by releasing the air valve.
Transfer the urine into the tube provided and deliver it to your vet as soon as possible.
Promptness is important as urine composition and crystal formation may alter as a result of prolonged storage.
