A little trivia about kitty litter:
 |
| 18-year old Bogart |
In 1954 Edward Lowe from Cassopolis, Michigan, started
selling his Kitty Litter clay pellets invention to grocery stores around the
country. It was an instant success. Until then cats were doing their business
in smelly sand boxes.
Lowe tried to sell
his clay pellets to chicken farmers who used hay to line the chicken cages but
he failed because clay pellets were much more expensive than hay.
One day his neighbor
ran out of sand for her outdoor cat sand box and asked for some sand. Ed gave
her a bag of his clay pellets instead.
His product, kitty
litter, became an over 100 million dollar company and cats were invited in and
became the number one indoor pet, outpacing dogs.
Thanks to Lowe's invention, I can keep my beloved pet, Bogart, indoors.
