Has anybody tried the new scoopable Feline Pine yet? I love it, but I'm not sure if they furry ones feel the same. I tried the regular Feline Pine with them before, but they won't do #2 in it. The people at my vet's office said it might hurt their paws when they bear down to go #2. The scoopable stuff is really soft, about the texture of sawdust. If anyone wants to know more about Feline Pine Scoop, ask away. I have 2 boxes for them, so I left one box clay and put pine in the other.
Prego has been using it, but last night he pooped in the clay litter box. I hadn't gotten around to scooping the pine box, and he has a pee clump still in there, so I'm not sure if he used to clay box because it was clean or because he doesn't want to poop in the pine. (Prego doesn't believe in burying, so he'd use a totally clean box before he'd use one he's gone in before that hasn't been scooped.)
Polly has not used the pine even once. She is only 4 months old, so I'm wondering if she doesn't know it's litter? Is that possible? She's only ever had clay litter before, so maybe when she smells the pine she's thinking "huh, this doesn't smell like litter to me?" Last night I cleaned out the clay box and put some pine in it with a thin layer of clay on top. She hopped right in and used it and dug up some of the pine in the process. I scooped the box, and the pine and clay got pretty mixed around. Polly does bury, and her pee clumps are only about the size of a ping-pong ball, so I have to go on a treasure hunt. I'm hoping this mixture will give her the idea that the pine is litter too, and that she ought to try it. If mixing doesn't work, I guess I will have to try something else.
The clay litter dust bothers my allergies, so I hope I can find a litter that Prego, Polly and I can all compromise on (preferably flushable).
