Feline Pine Cat Litter

Rufus has tried multiple cat litters as part of our mission to find the very best litter. Fortunately, Rufus has been a very good guinea pig and doesn't mind all the changes with his litter box (I've heard stories about cats revolting against owners when any change was made to their litter boxes.)

Feline Pine was the very first brand we used. The ASPCA sent us home with a bag of this when we first adopted Rufus. I love that it's all natural. This means we could just flush or throw it in the trash and not worry about hurting the environment. The smell of the litter was natural and inoffensive.

BUT... this litter was not easy to clean up. Feline Pine is composed of pellets that turn into sawdust when wet. The poo was easy to get rid of but the piddle was not. We had to dump out the whole tub of litter every week or so because the smells would get too unpleasant. This can be wasteful if there are still pellets.

They have special litter boxes suited for this type of litter but we weren't ready to commit to the first litter we tried.

Feline Pine's odor control could have been better. Also, Rufus would track yellow dusty paw prints around the box. This was the most off-putting side effect for me since dust = 'soiled' pellets.
