The water behaves a bit like mercury used to when we were allowed to play with it at school. Many years ago now. The sand always repels water so it cannot be covered over!</p> <img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/aggbug?PostID=76766&AppID=5&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://www.vetsurgeon.org/b/veterinary-news/posts/76766Fri, 09 Nov 2012 04:43:56 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:d3b3cbc3-60ea-46af-b969-6bbc7994cd87Tim Cheyne0<p>Pipetting urine from the surface of hydrophobic sand sounds a good idea in theory but &nbsp;will it work in practice? &nbsp;Most cats turn around immediately and attempt to cover the soiled litter. Does this mean the the urine will still pass &nbsp;through the litter unsullied and can be decanted from a corner of the litter tray?; similar to the &#39;glass bead&#39; method mentioned a few weeks ago, on this site I think.</p> <p>Tim.</p> <img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/aggbug?PostID=76766&AppID=5&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
