Feline Pine Platinum Non-Clumping Cat Litter, Feline Pine Cat Litter 18lb

I ordered the Feline Arm and Hammer pine pellets to be used with a sifting litter box set. Conceptually seemed easy enough but there was a learning curve for both myself and Echo Gabriel - my cat.Instructions on how to transition from straight clump litter to the pellets are easy to follow. But things went downhill from there.First my kitten was taking the pellets out and swatting them all around the house and sometimes would even be chewing on the pellets. That worried me because I was concerned about him developing an obstruction in his stomach or intestines.Second trying to sift the pellets was not easy at least for me. It made lots of dust, pellets would get stuck in the openings and inevitably litter would spill onto the floor. I was not a happy camper. However I was determined to make this work because the pellets did the one thing I wanted the most and that was eliminate odors. And when I say eliminate odors I mean zero stench as in zip, zilch, nada, nothing.So I decided I needed to figure out a way to use the pine pellets so that I could do the sifting with minimal dust and not have to stop every nano second to clear out the large pellets that were getting stuck and hindering the sifting process.Second I needed to find a way to discourage Echo from playing his game of swatting pellets all over the house, and then chewing them up.My solution was to use an old fashioned blender. I take no more than a cup at a time of the whole pellets and alternate between grinding and grating . This allows me to control the consistency of what was now becoming a sort of pine litter/sawdust.At first I only made enough to fill a 2 gallon container with this sawdust. I wanted to see if it would work and if Echo would accept the texture of this new litter.To use I fill the litter box with a layer of approximately 3 inches of sawdust and then add about a cup and a half of Fresh step clumping litter.Doing that significantly helps minimize dusting. But what I like the best is that it creates very loose pine sawdust clumps that I can quickly scoop out throughout the day as needed without having to do the sifting every single time.So basically I manage the litter box throughout the day by just scooping and replenishing litter as needed. The litter box stays clean, and there is absolutely no oder because of how the pine sawdust absorbs and effectively neutralizes any odor.For sanitary reasons I sift the litter and wash all basins out weekly. Then I just recycle back in the box the sifted litter replenishing as needed to ensure enough is in the box.I dump the entire mixture at every 4 weeks, sanitize the bins again and replace with a completely new batch of my pine sawdust mixtureFollowing this method has been been very effective in neutralizing any and all odors. Love the outcome!

If you are sick of cat litter, it's because you haven't tried this. I flush the poop, stir the pellets and change once a week. The pellets turn to sawdust and it doesn't stick to his furry feet the way clay does, so no tracking. No smell, and when it's time to empty the box, it slides right out and never sticks. I'm ordering it online because local stores are always sold out.

I've tried so many types of litter over the years, and this one is hands down my favorite. Feline Pine Platinum is a total game-changer. First off, it doesn't track—which means no more stepping on litter pieces outside the box. The pellets are large enough that they stay put and don’t get stuck to my cat’s paws. Second, the smell is amazing. The natural pine scent is fresh but not overpowering, and it really does a great job at neutralizing odors. I never get that “litter box smell” anymore. Third, cleanup is a breeze. The pellets break down into sawdust when wet, and I just scoop out the used parts. No clumps, no mess, no stress. If you're looking for a clean, natural, and low-maintenance litter, this is the one. I’m sticking with it for good.

Feline Pine Non-Clumping Cat Litter does an amazing job with controlling odors — my litter box always smells fresh, even with multiple cats. I love that it’s natural and there’s no overwhelming artificial scent.That being said, I’m not the biggest fan of how the urine turns the pellets into sawdust. It makes it harder to scoop and can get a little messy. It’s more of a personal preference, though, because overall, it’s still a good litter that works really well for odor control. Plus, it is a good price for what you get compared to other cat litters which can get expensive; especially with multiple cats.If odor control is your main concern and you don’t mind the sawdust texture, this is definitely worth trying!
