[ Background Art ]
In recent years, pet feeding has become popular and gradually trend in the global scope, wherein pet cats are warm and smooth in character, lovely in appearance, convenient to feed, free from taking outdoor play every day, increasingly popular, and become human feeding pets next to dogs. With the popularization of pet cat feeding, how to scientifically and healthily treat the excrement becomes a troublesome problem. Cat litter is generally defined as a material used to treat pet cat litter that has a good absorbency and is generally used with a litter box in which a suitable amount of litter is poured and upon which a trained cat will run when it is desired to discharge. Since the advent of cat litter, it has become increasingly convenient to solve the problem of pet cat excretion indoors from the initial simulation of sandy soil to the convenient collection of fecal non-coagulated cat litter to the now coagulated cat litter, such as crystal cat litter, bentonite cat litter, bean curd cat litter, and the like. The global pet product value estimated from global market insight 2019 would reach 2690 million dollars in 2019, and the cat litter (clay and biologicals) market value would be about 39 million dollars, estimated to reach 54 million dollars sales by 2025, accounting for 50% of the major market share in north america. The global cat litter market total reaches 323 billions in 2019, which is expected to increase to 415 billions in 2026, with a annual compound growth rate of 3.6%. Since 2013, the sales volume of cat litter in China increases rapidly, the annual growth rate increases to 23.3 ten thousand tons in 2017, and reaches 17.46%; the popularity of cat litter in the Chinese market is rapidly increasing, and the market sales of cat litter in China is expected to reach 89.2 ten thousand tons in 2024 years. It follows that cat litter is in great demand in the global market and rises year by year.
However, at present, various cat litters in the cat litter market are good and bad, and the feeding owner mainly pays attention to the problems of water absorption, caking property, deodorization, bacteriostasis and the like when selecting cat litters. In recent years, cat litter commonly found in the market mainly has strong water absorbability and caking property, but weak deodorizing property and antibacterial property. The thiol volatile substances contained in the cat feces are inhaled by human body more, so that negative emotion can be generated and the body health is hurt. Meanwhile, the storage time of the cat litter in the cat litter box is at least about two weeks, and harmful bacteria are easy to breed due to the long storage time, so that the health of the cat and the host is affected. Therefore, the cat litter has strong water absorption and caking property, and meanwhile, the deodorizing and antibacterial performances of the cat litter are improved, so that a more comfortable and healthy environment is created for pet cats and raising owners.
Patent document CN114391478a discloses a preparation method of degradable antibacterial deodorizing cat litter, which comprises the steps of mixing and crushing plant fibers, bean curd residue powder, corn starch and puffed corn powder, and adding adhesive, preservative and antibacterial deodorizing powder (silver titanium powder) into the mixture to prepare cat litter so as to realize deodorizing and antibacterial properties, wherein the deodorizing property can reach more than 90%, and the antibacterial property can reach 99.999%. However, the silver-titanium powder has high cost, industrial production is difficult to realize, and the odor substances used by the invention are formaldehyde, trimethylamine, methyl mercaptan, ammonia gas and hydrogen sulfide, which are typical odor substances in the environment and are not direct odor substances in cat feces; patent document CN112841050a discloses a pure natural environment-friendly bean curd cat litter with antibacterial and deodorizing functions, wherein the deodorizing agent is one or a combination of more of tea polyphenol, houttuynia cordata extract and garlic powder, the bamboo fiber is a main base material, and the bamboo fiber also contains flavone extract as a bacteriostatic agent, so that the sterilizing rate of the bamboo fiber on salmonella, escherichia coli, mould fungi and other fungi is 97% -98%, although the prepared cat litter product has a certain faint scent, and the added tea polyphenol and other substances have a certain deodorizing property, the invention has no specific numerical description on the deodorizing property research of the cat litter, and the added bamboo powder, tea polyphenol, houttuynia cordata and other extracts have high cost and are difficult to realize industrial production.
In summary, although some patent researches for improving the antibacterial and deodorizing properties of the cat litter exist at present, the deodorizing properties of the cat litter in the patent are not specific and direct, and the deodorizing properties of the cat litter on the odor substances existing in the cat feces are not purposefully studied, so that the deodorizing properties of the cat litter are intuitively reflected. In addition, the storage time of the cat litter in the cat litter box is at least about two weeks, and the cat litter is required to have strong deodorization and bacteriostasis due to the longer storage time. However, the deodorizing property of the cat litter of the plant fiber type at present is mostly only dependent on the structure of the plant fiber and the peculiar fragrance thereof, and the deodorizing capability is limited. And the improvement of the antibacterial property of the cat litter mainly depends on the addition of the antibacterial agent, and the research and development of the improvement of the antibacterial property of the cat litter are limited by the safety and the higher price of the cat litter.
In view of the foregoing, there is a strong need for a litter that has a strong deodorizing effect on the malodorous substances that are characteristic of cat feces, a strong bacteriostatic effect on the presence of a large number of pathogenic bacteria in cat feces, and a composition that does not affect the health and safety of pet cats and their owners.
