Most common cat litters do not contain chemicals; the cheapest (and
least effective) is ordinary clay chips; even clumping litter is a
specific kind of clay.  Arm & Hammer is probably clay with Baking Soda.

Of course that doesn't include scented litters; I suspect those types
would cause that kind of problem.

I would suggest sticking with non-scented littersof some kind.  The
organic types are the best for the environment; I believe they are all
"natural" but there is almost certainly a list of ingredients somewhere
on the box or available through e-mailing the company.

Soon after use, Feline Pine smells like somebody peed in a pine forest.

I have been using FP for ten years. It does keep the odor down;
however, the drawbacks are:

1. It tracks everywhere. Lots of dust.
2. Has to be replaced every week.

I'm not real happy with the product, but I guess it could be worse.
Price-wise, it's not really a bargain. The advertising on the bag
says, "Lasts two weeks!" Yeah, right.

I'm allergic to a number of perfumes and I'm using World's Best.
However, even though it lasts longer than most particularly if you
filter the litter and sanitize the box each time, the cost can be
prohibitive. I have started using poultry feed from the feed store
called corn or poultry crumbles. It's about the same texture as WB at
less than a quarter the cost...about $5 for 25 lbs. Of course it
doesn't clump as well but it does clump some and it's still flushable
and dust free. I've been mixing it about half and half with the WB
but the box that I have on the corn crumbles alone is still not
smelling after two weeks. I am a fanatic though about filtering and
sterilizing boxes every day and scooping poop almost immediately.

Hi Mary,

We use Feline Pine, and the cats and I love it!

We change it ever week to week and a half, but we have a 1 to 2 litter
box to cat ratio instead of a 2 to 1.

The only thing I would change is that after it starts to turn to
sawdust, it does track quite a bit. I've put carpets under that I can
shake out.

Otherwise, it really has cut down on smell, I just scoop out the poop
every day. It composts well, which is a plus for us.

HI..i JUST READ YOUR letter and wanted to tell you that I love Feline pine. I have been using it for
about 4 years now. There is no pine smell. It really covers all cat urine and other smells. It last
a long time. I can't really smell anything in my bathroom where I keep the cat litter box. I can't
smell anything. No litter smell at least. There are no other smell that try to mask the feline pine,
it just smell like really nothing! Hope you try it and like it.
