Feline Pine is an amazing brand of cat litter, and I recommend it for cat owners everywhere. Since I made the switch about a year ago, I know I will never go back to my old brand of clay cat litter. When I first made the switch to Feline Pine I had my doubts. If you are having doubts about switching to Feline Pine cat litter, then I urge you to read about my success with this environmentally friendly Nature’s Earth product.

First, let us discuss why you should make the switch to Feline Pine. This Nature’s Earth product is 100% organic. Furthermore, it is both 100% recycled and 100% recyclable. Feline Pine is made up of biodegradable pine sawdust. Used litter can be flushed safely in small amounts down the toilet. You can even put the used pellets in your garden, if you so choose, and eliminate your mulching costs.

Unlike clay cat litters, Feline Pine contains no silica dust. When the dust from clay cat litters is stirred up into the air, the silica particles enter the lungs of those nearby. This silica dust has been connected with causing a host of lung problems. Lung cancer and bronchitis are just two of the dangerous diseases that silica particles could possibly cause. Why take that risk with your health? Feline Pine is so much healthier for you, your family, and your cats.

I was initially worried that my two cats would refuse to use the new litter. After all, Feline Pine consists of pine pellets that don’t offer the smooth texture of clay cat litters that are out on the market. I was concerned that my cats’ paws would get hurt from the hardness of the pine pellets. Since then, I have learned that cats’ paws are tougher than what I give them credit for and that I, like many other cat owners, sometimes ‘baby’ my cats a wee bit too much.

Aww...sorry to hear your kitten didn't like the pine pellets. Guess it's just like toilet paper--we all have our preferences. :) As for the comparison between pine pellets and Pine-Sol, there's no link. Pine-Sol is a mixture of chemicals with a pine scent added in; no relation to actual pine.

When I had my kitten neutered the vet said he needed to have pellet litter or newspaper in his litter box. I bought the pine pellets because of the clean up factor, it smells good and it seemed better for everyone involved. Elliot (the kitten) HATED it. He went so far as to balance himself on the edges of the litter pan to use his box, without covering. I always heard Pine was bad for cats, so not to use Pine-Sol and things like that, is there validity to those statements? Anyway, the pine didn't work for my little boy, but it was worth a try.
