questions..thinking of changing my cats litter product

[carole]

Thanks all, i will indeed let you know the results, going to buy some soon and do the gradual thing, which i kinda thought would be the best way to go, but good to get the expert opinion here.

Where do you get the woodstove pellets?

Thanks,

Where does one purchase wood stove pellets? I'm intrigued by something that's less expensive than Feline Pine but works similarly.

Ok, pardon my ignorance but I have a question: what do you do about pee in the litter? I've only ever used clumping litter and, obviously, scooping poop would be fairly easy but what about the pee when using Feline Pine or the pellet stuff?

Well just an update, i have been using the recycled paper pellets for some time now with success,the kitties did not seem to take much time to change over and are using it no problem, I don't find the odour control any better than the other product i was using and it is slightly less economical, as when you do take the pee out, you have to take quite a lot of it out to get rid of it, the dusty stuff was better in that aspect as it kinda stayed in one spot, however i am going to stick with this product as the dust is minimal a must for me and my kitties.

The other downside for me is i can only buy it at one supermarket in at the mall, so it means a special trip every so often there, however i quite often go for a shop and have decided to stock up in advance instead, it costs me 9.95 a 15 litre bag or 4.99 for a 6 litre bag, sometimes they don't have the big bags so i have to spend a little more buying smaller ones, i do get fustrated that my own supermarket does not stock it, maybe i will ask if they will consider it.

Dear ones, can you please advise me? I was at Petsmart last night, looking at the types of cat litter they sell. We are currently using good old clay, not the clumping type. Petsmart has an information card by the "alternative" litters suggesting that all of them - recycled paper, pine, wheat and silica - provide better odor control and need changing less often than regular clay. Does anyone out there use "crystals" litter? And if you do - how do you like it? I was thinking of switching to either Feline Pine or Yesterday's NEws.

My kitties adapt to new litters instantly. Usually, I buy feline pine scoopable, but when we can't get to the pet store, I buy Max Cat scoopabe. They don't seem bothered by the rotating of cat litters.
