Cat litter in shower

Author: Tbustos2 (NC)

Long story short we had two litter boxes in a spare bathroom. One in the shower and the other by the cabinet. During a change over for litter the one in the shower got dropped and needless to say that was a lot of litter down the drain. Mind blank on the expansion of litter once we got it all cleaned up ( I know I know I’m feeling pretty stupid). So know I have a shower drain of cement. I’ve tried the baking soda and vinegar and it’s a no go. I don’t want to mess up and block the little bit of drainage that it has left. So any ideas before I find a plumber would be great. Thanks for any help In advance.

Author: bruceb3 (MI) Cat litter is clay. Baking soda and vinegar do absolutely nothing to clay. You will have to mechanically remove it with a screwdriver or snake and then flush well with water.
