Feline Pine Original Non-Clumping Wood Cat Litter

So I have 2 cats, Jack and Ornery. Ornery is far pickier than Jack, so this litter worked to a point. Before using, the main problem I had was how often my cats pee makes clay clumping litter miserable to clean up, smells AWFUL, and the bottom of the box is disgusting. This pine litter has mostly fixed my problems Pros: - Absorbent without sticking to the box. - Better environmental option. - Less stink!!! (Big plus). - No clumping. - Not dusty, except when opening the bag. - Litterbox is cleaner. Cons: - Needs to be changed more often. - Ornery doesn't like the texture, but I do 2 parts pellets to 1 part crystals and she's happier. - It's hard to scoop just the waste out, maybe So I have 2 cats, Jack and Ornery.

I have four cats ages 9 to 2. We initially switched to this when the 2 year olds were kittens. We used clumping litter and the vet said that is bad for kittens. Feline Pine is the best! Clumping litter has a smell that is sickening especially when you mix it with cat waste. Feline Pine has a pine smell and then no smell even after they use the litter box. As is true with all litter boxes, you need to clean regularly but honestly, if I forget for a couple days, nasty smells aren’t reminding me to clean the litter box! Just one complaint....40 lb. bags are a little hard to carry. Could we go back to the 20 lb. bags?

I’d only ever used clump sand litter. It was gross and a chore no one ever wanted to do. It was heavy and tracked through the whole house and it was just gross. My kid showed me info on pine litter and gave it a shot. It smells so good in the house. Smells like pine in the room with the car boxes and nothing much through the rest of the house! I use the “self-sifting” cat box method and it’s pretty easy to get used to. Next best part is it doesn’t track through the entire house. I don’t have litter on my bed from it sticking to their paws and noses (I have a weird cat lol). It’s easier to breathe when I clean the boxes and the stuff that gets thrown away doesn’t weight 10,000lbs! I’ll never go I’d only ever used clump sand litter.

I'm not sure what people are smelling with this litter in the unfavorable reviews. I wanted a cat litter that was non-clumping, a little lighter-weight and that could keep the odor under control for a week. This litter checked all my boxes. It is NOT light weight if you get a 40 pound bag but it is much lighter when carrying it BACK out of the house to the trash can. You only use about 1-2" of litter in the box because the capsules break open as the cats use it which increases the volume and when it's time to change it, it flows right out of the box with a little bump on the bottom of the box as you are dumping it into the trash bag.

I love this litter and feel like stockpiling in case it is discontinued some day. I'll never use clay litter as long as this on the market. … more

We love feline pine pellets! When we first adopted our cat we got regular clay litter, but it was wildly messy and tracked all over the house. We tried at least 6 different litters (inclusion various clay litters, walnut litter, and paper litter) before sticking with feline pine pellets. I love the smell! Super fresh and foresty. My partner isn’t wild about the smell but agrees that it’s better than some of the other options we tried. When pellets occasionally make their way out of the box, they’re easy to pick up. We scoop poop daily and change the litter about every 10 days for our one cat. It’s so easy to tell if she has pooped and monitor her health because the poop is easy to find and see We love feline pine pellets!

This works better at eliminating cat smells than anything I've found. I don't like clay litter - it's stinky and bad for the environment. So I've been trying to find an alternative. I've used soy, corn cob, walnut, a couple others I can't think of. This is the one. This works great at eliminating odors. it's biodegradable and, If you don't mind having a huge bag of it, you can get the same stuff at a feed and seed for about 5 bucks for a 50 pound bag - only it is marketed for horse stalls. I live in a small space and you don't know I have a cat even if I'm late getting to the litter box.

I chose this first because I wanted to pick a more environmentally friendly option for my cat litter. It seems like it will decompose better than normal litter. I found more benefits after I got it as well. The pine scent is nice and subtle as well. I found that the smell is less horrendous than other litters that mask the smell with perfumes. I also am finding that the litter that does leave the box doesn't go as far as with a normal litter. This makes me very happy as I no longer am in a constant battle against the powdery mess that comes from normal litter. You do not have the clumping ability when the litter comes into contact with pee, but I have not found that to be an issue.

A final note - make sure you transition your cats to this new litter like they say on the bag. I made sure to keep a few turds as well to make sure they knew that even though it smells and feels different, it's still where they need to go. … more

I changed to Feline Pine when Simply Pine, which was fantastic, became unavailable. Although never as good as Simply Pine, this used to be a decent litter that was absorbent without dust or tracking of dust. My recent purchase has turned to sawdust in only four days, smells and cat tracks sawdust on its paws all over the bathroom and rest of the house. I don’t know what the company did to ruin it but it is terrible.

my cat got crystals and I was told that can be exacerbated by clumping litter but I already knew that clay litter smelled (I have a studio apt so it matters) and that shredded pine tracks everywhere. This was a surprise. It is pellets and he wasn't sure about it for several hours. Once wet it disintegrates (good way to tell he's still peeing). The rare occasion I smell his feces I scoop that out and after a week still not ammonia smell and because the majority of it stays as pellets, it doesn't track very badly.

Our one cat household has been using "Feline Fresh", a different pine pellet litter, but it's often out of stock locally. We tried to switch to Feline Pine, but it didn't work for us... It had almost a processed/treated wood smell. The pellets were also several different colors, which I thought was really odd. The humans in the house couldn't deal with the scent. The cat isn't picky at all though, and was fine using it. We ended up returning this product.
