Another reason for doing so is that cat faeces are relatively high

in
protein (obligate carnivores often have relatively inefficient guts)

so
might attract interest from scavengers such as rats. It's a shame,
though, as one could do with the extra nitrogent for the sawdust :-(


It would be much healthier to just to water a little of the cheapest
lawn fertiliser, or to put some Garotta into the compost heap if you
have sawdust in it.
