Cat litter is now being used by many more people than just pet parents because of the moisture-absorbing qualities of this product. Here at Lithia Subaru of Oregon City, we believe cat litter should be one of the most important items included in any winter weather survival kit all drivers should carry when snow and ice are possible.
In the U.S. and especially Oregon, snow levels can be high during winter months and leave many drivers stranded on roadways and driveways because of a lack of traction. The use of salt may melt ice and snow but can also cause damage to the underside and exterior of vehicles because of the corrosive nature of this commonly-used product.
A different option is to use kitty litter to absorb moisture from the snow and ice around a vehicle and allow traction to be gained to get moving around Oregon City once more. Members of our staff are always ready to offer advice on creating a winter driving emergency kit when you stop by our showroom.
