Question for Feline Pine users

Hi...reading the bag it says that it should last two weeks. I have 2 cats they will only use one litter box. The others stand around abandoned. My feline pine turns into sawdust in about 3 days. Is that normal?
I do love the stuff, no dust, no smell and the cats like it. What more can one ask for in a litter *

Yes, that is normal. You change it when it is almost nothing but sawdust. In your case that would probably mean once per week because 2 cats are sharing it. -kd

Yeah i change mine once a week, bc with 2 cats using it, it turns into sawdust way b4 2 wks

my persnickety cats dont like the sawdust....i have to remove it as soon as it forms....do your cats mind it?

I dump it when the urine smell gets noticable. About 10 days or so for my two cats.

Feline Pine makes a litterbox that would make that job easier. This is the link to it http://www.felinepinelitterbox.com/ . I use it and it works pretty good. However, Liberty doesn't mind the sawdust. I use it because Liberty likes there to be a lot of Feline Pine in the box when I change it . -kd

that was a great link....

I've heard wood stove pellets are the same thing and you can get a huge bag for much cheaper than the commercial brand. I haven't tried it but thought I'd throw that out there if anyone was interested .

I've also heard n+1 litterboxes is always good. So 2-3 might be better for your situation.

I've been meaning to get their scooper. I always wind up picking up pellets along with the solids.

I tried this stuff out with my guys; the one didn't mind it too much. But my other guy. He wouldn't have anything to do with it. Even started to use my couch as his peeing ground. I am now going to try that Swheat Scoop, that way I can scoop it out and flush it right away. I like the idea of getting rid of the cat smell.

I have two cats that use feline pine, they both adjusted fine to it, and don't seem to mind the sawdust. I like it because it does a good job controlling the kitty pee smell and I can flush it, plus it doesn't track as badly as the scoopable litter, in my experience. The only pitfall I see is that they don't seem to cover their poop very well which means less odor control on that front ... I don't know if it's just harder to do because of the pellet size and shape (they do make a lot of noise throwing litter around when they're in there which leads me to believe they don't mind digging in it ... also when I change the litter or add fresh pellets, they jump in immediately and start playing like a kid in a sandbox) I am looking forward to trying the egg crumbles chicken feed though ... sounds like a lot of people have had success with this and its cheap!

I use chicken feed & love it. No smell, hard clumping & no dust & is natural. (cheap too) My cats love it as well.

do you think the puppy could use it...Skittles I am thinking of trying the corn feed because I change her box every other day because I feel it is dirty. SO this would be cheaper. I tried flushable litter and it caused my toilet to act up

chicken feed is the way to go! We all love it!!!! It works the best and you can't beat the price. If you are asking if chicken feed would work for dogs, I'm sure it would, just don't let them eat it or thier tummys might act up.

lol it really is great stuff. We paid 10.99 for a 50 lb bag & there is no smell whatsoever since we scoop constantly. highly recommend this.

Does it clump?

It clumps better than the scoopable litter i've tried, & I've tried many.

I think I might go get it at the hay store. Been wanting too but was so undecided.

It is flushable? I wasn't sure if it was. Is it safe for young kittens when they are learning to use it? I hate scoopable for them, and don't really like the regular litter at all, I have 4 cats and at times litters of kittens too, so I have to change the box too often. What I have deciding since I stopped using scoopable is a childs little beach shovel works good for scooping the shavings litter or the regular stuff, since it dosn't fall through the holes you can clean the pee out, I still use the scooper for poo's.

OPPS... I was talking about this shavings litter stuff, it wasn't even feline pine, it wasn't pellets. I didn't know that some thing else was being talked about too, but now i'm interested in the chicken feed.
