Feline Pine Cat Litter

Many cat owners and experts alike have praised the use of Feline Pine Cat Litter. It’s natural, biodegradable and it gives a fresh scent as claimed by many who uses it. Most importantly, feline pine is economical. A big bag of 40 lbs of Feline Pine cat litter cost only about $20.

Feline Pine Cat Litter is made from pine pellets and unlike the clay and crystals cat litter, its’ biodegradable which means that you can flush it down the toilet or recycled as mulch.

I’ve used it for my 6 cats and here is how I feel about it:

Pros

Feline Pine comes in small pellets and it’s therefore dust free. It’s much lighter than the traditional clay type of litter. What I like is that you only need to cover the litter box with a thin layer of the feline pine and so one bag of it can last you a long long time. It is also excellent in terms of odor control, as I could hardly smell the litter box while using feline pine. This is something that I greatly appreciate. Imagine having 6 cats in my house, the stench would be unbearable if the litter could not cover up the smell!

Cons

Unlike the clay type of litter, the hard pellets may make feline pine unattractive to some cats. Their soft paws may hurt while they stand doing their business in the litter box. One major complaint that I have about feline pine cat litter is that when it breaks down into sawdust, it becomes very dusty and tracking can be real bad. Thanks to my 6 cats, my house practically has traces of the feline pine powder all around my house. However, using a mat beside the litter box helps minimize the problem though.

Another concern is the effect of the sawdust from the feline pine on the respiratory system of your cats. Some cats may be sensitive to this and as a result may develop some respiratory problems like sneezing, running nose and in severe cases even asthma has been reported from the use of feline pine litter.

By and large, this was my choice of the best cat litter. It's cheap and effective.
