Yikes! It's frustrating that World's Best Cat Litter doesn't clearly state the impact of flushing their litter on their website.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I believe that flushed cat litter puts microbial parasites into the sewage system that can harm coastal wildlife.
And flushing human waste doesn't? That seems odd. Flushing clay-based litter is understandably a bad thing, but WBCL is just processed corn. So one would be flushing corn scraps and animal waste products. Kinda like every movie theater in the US, only for a different animal.

People!
My people!
How I've missed you all. Sane people. Good people. Fuzzy people.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Sane people. Good people. Fuzzy people.
You have been away a long time.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Shir! Hi! We missed you too.

And flushing human waste doesn't?
It's specifically the toxoplamosis microbe. It's contagious in cat poo during a certain stage of its lifecycle as a parasite in the cat. As the cat is the optimal host for this parasite, it may not complete the cycle in other species such as homo sapiens. They certainly don't get all het up about pregnant women who already have a diaper-wearing kid cleaning up the dirty ones, but whooo boy do people hear about giving up their cats (or at least not cleaning the litter boxes).
