Don't flush kitty litter down toilets with cat waste matter

Question: Can you flush kitty litter down the toilet with cat waste matter?

Answer: No! Cat faeces can contain a parasite, toxoplasma gondii, which can harm sea mammals. Flushing cat waste has been linked to the death of sea otters, whales and porpoises in the US and the UK. The parasite can survive sewage treatment and then travel down rivers until it gets to the sea. The only safe way to dispose of it is via land fill or incineration
