I bought a bag of Yesterday News cat litter (http://www.yesterdaysnews.com/) for our cat.

Yesterday News is similar to Feline Pine in that it's a pellet but instead of compressed pine it's compressed recycled newpaper made into pellets. I got tired of all the dust from clay litter products but the nice thing about clay is that it's "clumpable" and easy to clean out everyday -- whereas Yesterday News and Feline Pine are not.

My question is, how do you clean out the litter box to get a cat's urine waste? The poop is easy to get out but the urine is hard to find other than the pellets start to dissolve over a few days but that means I can't get the pee out of the box everyday like I can with clumpable clay.

What are your thoughts, please?

I use yesterdays news with all of the kittens that come through here!I like the fact I just put a thin layer and empty and clean it as I go.I am afraid of the clumping litter with the lil ones.I think it is a great litter,but more time consuming than clay litter (but the price makes it worth it).

Jake wasn't crazy for it...He kept stepping in poop because it doesn't make it fully dry in a timely fashion so he had dirty paws all the time...Its' very healthy though.

When I was using feline pine (stopped, as Lucky hated it and started peeing on the rug), I bought this litter pan, and it worked great. It has a grid and a second pan in the bottom. You shake the pan, and the dissolved pellets fall through the grid, making it super easy to clean. Since it has a second tray, you immediately move the top tray (grid) to the unused tray, and are free to clean the dirty one and replace it in the bottom. I know Feline Pine has a similar tray also, but it's more expensive, and hard to find.

Thank you everyone for the good information. I appreciate it. Our cat doesn't seem to mind the pellets so we'll see how it goes.
