Litter and lung tumors in cats

Our question this week was:

To your knowledge, can cat litter cause lung tumors in cats? I just lost a 10-year-old male Persian who was my soul mate, and it was because of an inoperable lung tumor that I had to have him euthanized.

Answer

Hi – thanks for your email. To my knowledge, there is no evidence that cat litter can cause lung tumors. The only thing I've heard of the cat litter dust exacerbating lung problems in cats with existing asthma.


Best of luck!
