Product Testimonial - Feline Pine Cat Litter
I never through I'd love a cat litter, but this stuff is freakin' magic in a bag.Feline Pine Cat Litter is the dream litter I've been waiting 20+ years for. I've always adored cats, and my folks have generally had at least one cat at any time. As a sort of nature-freak, I've never been squeamish around animal scat, but I hated cleaning my cats' litter... because I HATE CLAY LITTER!! The silica dust makes me sneeze like hell, and I can't imagine it's all that healthy to be breathing. The weird, and totally ineffective, "odor neutralizers" that manufacturers add to the litter also smells worse than the cat poop it tries to mask up. It smells like embalming fluid, and probably isn't all too healthy, either. But, for a long time, that was the only alternative. The crystal litters started becoming popular, but even that stuff isn't all that great for similar reasons. Fast-forward to 2006, I finally get a kitty of my own... A great breed of cat that I paid a lot of money for. I'll be damned if my cat and I have to deal with lousy cat litter, so when I saw Feline Pine at Target (on sale, too) I figured I'd give it a shot.
This stuff KICKS ASS. Feline Pine cat litter is extruded pine pellets with a loose natural binding. So damn simple, but really effective. There is no dust at all when I pour it into the litter box, or when the kitty scratches at it. There's no smell of death from it. It just smells like pine, which my inner-lumberjack enjoys. The pine absorbs kitty-pee on contact, and neutralizes the smell. I can't smell any cat urine, even after 2 weeks. Cleaning up feces is simple. Very little litter is lost when scooping, and it breaks down quickly so it flushes easily.I'm sure it seems kinda lame that I'm so stoked about cat litter, but considering I've been scooping cat litter several times a day for a good portion of my life, I can't help it. And, it's better for my cat, that crappy old-school litter. I'll take a bullet for my kitty, so at the very least I oughtta be pleased with this stuff. Feline Pine gets my highest (if a little crazy) praise.
Fun Trivia - This stuff makes a good good mulch for gardens, and can be used as an alternative fuel in a pellet stove, in a pinch.
