It is much more awesome than any of the other litters that we've tried. Has anyone else tried it? How do you like it? It seems like it gets rid of the doody smells a LOT faster, too.

I used a bag once just to try it several years back. It was nice but found it to pricy to use on a regular basis.
I think it's the same thing but up here it's called Feline Fresh and it comes in regular or clumping. I've completely switched to the clumping and I won't use anything else right now. The price is OK for me because I only have one kitty so I don't go through very much. It does track more than clay litters but I can deal with that. I love the fact that I can scoop and flush. It's awesome. :)
Yeah, it is a bit pricy (especially for our budget) but it works out well for us. :DQuote:

I use it on my rabbit cage on the tray under the wire. it really does get rid of the rabbit urine smell.
I have been using Feline Pine for over 5 years now and love it. It doesn't have silica dust the way clumping litters do and doesn't hurt your cat's lungs. It's anywhere from $8.99 to $13.99 for a big bag of Feline Pine.
Isis took to the FP right away but Soni did not so we are still using a bit of clay litter on top, as well. I hear you about the absorption and minimal smell! :D Before I had cats, I never knew something so rotten and stinky could come out of something so sweet, cute, and cuddly. :DQuote:

We get the little bags (about four dollars and thirty seven cents including tax) and hubby insists on using the whole bag but we haven't been using it long enough to see if that's really necessary... (considering we still have to put a bit of clay on top because the boy cat is not as apt to use it, yet)Quote:

Glacier,
I've used wood stove pellets before and they work, but don't last as long as Feline Pine when it comes to the odor. The stove pellets are super cheap so even if you just dump the box once it's dirty, you're still saving money.
Wenisrubber,
You only need one inch of litter. When I clean the litterboxes, I use my finger as a guide to how much to put in the box. If the thickness of the litter in the box is equal to the first digit of my finger, then that's about an inch.
I havenever seen that in Canada.
I will have to see if I can find this at Petcetera.
Oh wow, do those work just as well? If they are pine pellets that break down into sawdust, then yep! Pretty much the same! :DQuote:
