Alright! I'm kicking the Feline Pine to the curb! What next!?

It's curious, I never notice the pine smell for long when I use Nature's Miracle; to me it smells a bit citrusy. And the smell does not last long. But then, I don't have a particularly good sense of smell (must be that little cat who keeps biting my nose)
Others notice that the house never smells of cat, in fact you'd never know I owned one until Gizmo came out to talk to you.

I'll throw in my vote for Worlds Best. It was the litter my babies were using when I got them, and have never switched (3+ years later).
Been using World's Best Cat Litter for the longest time. Love the way it clumps. Have the littler box next to the toilet, so it's gets flushed away as soon as I hear the cats were in the box.
My only complaint about it is the AWFUL dust, so I just tried Papurr. That doesn't nearly clump well enough to scoop it up and flush away. So I hate it !
The World's Best would be best, if they sifted the dust out. I sat one day in my backyard with a strainer and sifted 17 pounds of it and now it works perfect. Plan on writing to World's Best, why can't they do that by machine? The sifted stuff works great, without dusting up the house and having little white cat-feet prints all over the place. It is expensive enough, that you could expect to buy it without all that horrible dust.
So I am still looking too: It has to be clumpable, flushable & dustfree. One of my cats ( the Bam) has feline asthma and I absolutely have to use dustfree, but for my sake it also has to be clumpable & flushable.
Am I asking for too much?

Ive been using Scoop Away for a few days now, and so far no complaints. Its actuaolly more expensive than A&H but I wasnt about to go back to that since they did not have the unscented version at our Walmart.
Scoop Away clumps really well, and even though I got the 'Fresh Scent' variety, it doesnt smell. When you put it in the box it smells sort of like baby powder, but the smell quickly goes away.

i don't know if you have a target store nearby, but target carries the unscented A&H. i've also seen it at petsmart recently (but i know our petsmart hasn't carried it that long).

Well after spending $100 on cat food and litter we ended up with 3 containers of the Tidy Cat Scoopable (blue lid- whatever that means!) and 2 boxes of the Fresh Step.... That was on Friday and I don't have any complaints yet!
I mixed them- probably about 70/30 Tidy Cats/Fresh Step. I did notice the Fresh Step was pretty perfume-y but it didn't bother me, especially when mixed with the Tidy Cat.
I liked the texture of the two litters together- it feels nice to finally be able to scoop poo out of the box and not have to jiggle it all around to get the darn pine pellets off! I love sifting!

I know I've mixed two litters before & found out I really liked them.
If you look at all the Tidy Cats pails, they are different "formulas". I know one is long lasting odor control...I think they are blue, red, & green. Silly me, I bought a red & a green one the other day because I was in a Christmas-y mood!

We used to get red but they only had blue
The same is true for me. The liter was going way fast and the sawdust was getting on my (long hair) cat's fur. I was going to try and switch to another litter, but I decided to try out their litter box and scoop first because I liked the fact that the pellets didn't track and it wasn't overly perfumed (like Fresh Step).
Once, I got the box and scoop...
we use wood stove pellets here, cheaper than feline pine, same thing..40lbs for 4.49 at the fleet farm.
may look into getting some crumble for the kittens though...they may prefer that on their little paws.

Just my 2cents worth - I use Tidy Cat (scoopable) for the newest addition: former feral. Previously I used clay litter, this was a long-haired cat and she tracked "sand" everywhere - but the clay worked fine. Newest addition is a short hair and she has had no problems w/scoopable (except for digging to China and making a mess outside box) but nothing gets stuck between toes, to her butt (which was an issue w/the long-haired)... I've used Fresh Step once (coupon and sale) and did like it, but Tidy Cat USED to have coupons more often.
Does anyone else's cat track the actual pine pellets out of the box?
I have been using FP for about a month and have been happy with the odor control and with one cat we don't go through it all that fast. I have, however, noticed that it is not so easy to scoop after Carl's month of antibiotic. His stool is getting softer from the antibiotics and it is nasty to clean!
But, I find those little pellets all over my apartment! I end up Dust Busting everyday and I feel kind of embarrassed when we have people over and there is litter on the carpet...anyone else have that problem?

yup its cheaper lots cheaper.Originally Posted by canaws
I like cheaper. It works the same as Feline Pine? I'll see if I can find any around here and give them a try.
I know this isn't what you asked, but have you tried giving him some yogurt?Originally Posted by MissintheSouth

I use Fresh step scoopable and wouldn't use anything else. I have 3 cats in a 1 bedroom condo and you can't tell (or smell).
HI,
Been using Worlds Best, expensive, but clumps well and flushes safely. The only MAJOR problem is all the dust. It is disgusting! It is making me cough and I can only imagine what it does to my cats, one of which has feline asthma.
I have stood in my yard and sifted 17 lb bag of the stuff. Cleaned all the dust out of my house and tried again. Wonderfull ! Now if we could only get Worlds Best Cat Litter to bag & sell the stuff without the dust ! I have written to them, but have not gotten any response. I am sure if anybody else uses it, that they have the same problem. If you all wrote to the company, maybe it would help? It truly would be the best, if they sifted the dust out, but I guess dust adds to the weight of the bag, and that means more money for them.
I will not again do this by hand with my household sifter (too much work) and will be looking for a different litter that clumps and is flushable and dust free.
Thanks for listening and please help with emailing them.......Karin

I have been using World's Best for about a year now, and it doesn't seem dusty to me.
