Best for their health and cleanest for your house
I tried out a small bag of Feline Pine from a local pet store but will be ordering this large bag in the future. This is all natural and virtually no dust, unlike clay litter that I used to use for my kittens. With the clumping clay litter, the gray dust would be everywhere and the kittens would ingest it too while grooming. Clay also tracked everywhere. Pine pellets turn to sawdust when wet with pee, which you can sift out, leaving all clean pellets behind. As long as you sift the sawdust everyday or so then there will be no dust flying around. Minimal tracking with maybe a couple of clean pellets they might kick out. Odor control is excellent with light pine wood scent, no smell of pee, only poop when freshly produced which isn’t so bad (unlike some combinations of poop plus fragrant chemicals used in other litters).
My kittens at first wouldn’t touch this litter because it is in pellets, but it took less than a week to fully transition. I mixed a little bit of their old clay litter for a couple of days, which does make more of a mess during the transition period only. But it is 100% worth it for their healthy and for a cleaner house.
Pine litter is the best
I've used clay, the breeze system and pine pellets, and I'm back to this. I think it's the best if you do it right. The pellets become dust with moisture and you scoop it opposite to how you'd scoop clay - sift the dust into the trash and throw the solid pellets back in the box. If you do that regularly and get as much of the dust out as possible you don't get any urine odor. It doesn't do much about poop smell but does any litter really? Just remove it when it's there. Need a large scoop, and a stainless steel box helps - not porous like plastic. The litter itself smells faintly like wood shavings/hamster bedding. You will probably go through it faster than clay litter and the scooping takes longer... but no sticky clumps, WAY less tracking, dry and clean, no dust in your face, the scoop doesn't really get dirty... all worth it to me. This brand is good because the bag is all pellets, I've had others where some of it is already dust which is a waste.
Great stuff
Great stuff. More than double the price of what I had been buying. But the place I was getting my similar stuff from is no longer there and what they carry is a Very poor quality product. So Chey is my back up, but as I mentioned it is more than double the price. But I have been mixing it half & half with the poor quality litter pellets and it helps fill in the dent in my budget.
THIS is THE one !
We have used Feline Pine for right at 20 years now - and we absolutely LOVE it! When we continued to have issues being able to purchase it locally (we are in a large town / city) we started searching for a way to get it shipped directly to us - and we found CHEWY. We had a great thing going! Then Covid and Lockdown…
I never had to worry.
FELINE PINE.
I don’t understand the comments on poop smells. We have had up to 9 cats in this small house without any concerns or issues of odors.
Many times people are shocked to find out we have more than 3 cats!
Most of the crew hide from outsiders, so they are never seen in one group.
We are Feline Pine loyal for life, and
Will stay with CHEWY as they have saved me a great deal of $ and stress!
The make my pet care so simple!

Great litter
This litter is awesome. Takes the smell away. Easy to clean the box. Do not have to empty box as much as you do with regular litter or that Pretty Litter. You just scoop the poop. Where they pee turn into a saw dust. So you still have wood Pellets and some dust. We empty when almost all the Pellets have turned to dust.
Cleaner and fresher than silica litter
My cat used to track her silica litter throughout the house, but not this! Gamechanger. Plus it blocks smell better for me.
I've seen people say that they struggled to transition from silica to pine - I had good success with transitioning slowly by layering some pine underneath their old litter and increasing the proportion each week.
Far From World's Best for Our Household
My goal was less liter mess throughout the house on the paws of 3 cats but this is as bad or worse than regular sand liter. It was everywhere! I used it once and that was enough. Gave the rest to my Husband to use for an oil spot on the pavement, to help absorb it. Not sure if that worked or not. Would never buy this again.
BUY THIS!!
This litter is the absolute BEST!! My 2 cats had no problem whatsoever going from that dusty litter to this. I hated scooping everyday, hated the smell, but this stuff makes your house smell like cedar. I honestly don't even scoop anymore, once the pellets get broken up, just simply throw away and add new. I wash my litter box once a month, but really I could go 2 months. I don't normally write reviews, but for what this does and the price vs everywhere else, it's totally worth it.
No dust, no tracking
I've tried Clay, crystal, and corn husk and they all either had major dust or tracked everywhere. This litter doesn't track and any little pieces that I dropped are easy to vacuum up. I like that it's non clumping and the urine just creates a dust. Makes cleaning easy as you just mix it up and it's good to go! Only thing that was rough was the kind of scooper I have won't separate the poop from the pellets. so I ended up scooping and wasting a lot of pieces. we are going to get a scooper more like the one in the photo and see how that works. Odor control wasn't good so you really do want to change it out immediately to avoid a smelly home. I'm going to try the one with Arm N Hammer to see if that helps.

Gimmick Gone Wrong
Sorry, this is a gimmick gone wrong. Pellets get soiled and disintegrate, leaving a strange smell. Scooping solid waste requires removing most of the pellets in the same scoop. If you could make these smaller, this might work--but it's a no go for me.
Sorry...
