MUSCATINE, Iowa
, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A surprising new study reveals that 54% of cat
owners are concerned about their cat's litter box habits , with men being more concerned than women.

Commissioned by World's Best Cat Litter®, the study delves into specifics regarding cat health and wellbeing, with nearly 1 in 4 cat owners reporting that their cat has experienced a urinary tract issue and nearly 60% saying they find it hard to determine the root cause of their cat's litter box issues .

HEALTH CHECK-INTM BOOSTERSTM LITTER ADDITIVE
With the survey data indicating that modern cat owners are strapped for time, resources and energy, World's Best Cat Litter® is proud to launch Health Check-InTM BoostersTM litter additive. This first veterinary approved formula can be sprinkled on any cat litter and provides an instant indication of a cat's urinary health by utilizing color changing technology that monitors for blood in your cat's urine.

With 70% of cat owners checking the litter box every day, Health Check-InTM BoostersTM litter additive gives diligent pet parents peace of mind when it comes to monitoring litter box-related cat health.

PEACE OF MIND
"Blood is a more reliable indicator of urinary health issues than pH, which can be influenced by diet, hydration or stress – leading to misleading results," said Dr. Elizabeth Flickinger, senior manager of insights and innovation at World's Best Cat Litter®. " 84% of cat owners use eating habits as an indicator of overall health , but it's important that pet parents don't stop there. Utilizing products like Health Check-InTM BoostersTM litter additive can give a better picture of your cat's overall health, offering important peace of mind for cat owners."
