- Buckerfield's makes a 'flushable cat litter' which is paper based, instead
- of chalk/clay. I think Buckerfield's is a pretty big, feed/animal stuff
- company, so you if you can't find it at a local pet store or supermarket,
- just go to one of the wholesale feed places (that sell oyster shell and
- buckwheat for chickens, hay and stuff) and they could probably get it.
