I knew you could buy them as wood stove fuel pretty cheap in some areas, but had no idea they sold it for horses. Have a couple feed stores not too far away from me.
The sawdust pellet litter is the only kind I use with my cats, too. Tried several different kinds (god bless a cat who isn't picky) but ultimately found that this one handled urine odor best and didn't have all that clumping junk in it. Also, I feel better about it when my dog somehow manages to sneak a snack.
It does smell like pine because that's exactly what it is, but I wouldn't classify it as pinesol. I don't walk into a room with a litter box and smell it.
It smells like pine when you first pour it in the box...but that is it.
It did take awhile got my cat to get used to the new litter...but he eventually did.
I think I'd like to try a pine litter again from what everyone's saying. I wish I could remember what brand I bought before though. I kept it for a couple of days but the whole room just reeked of it. And not pine like a Christmas tree either, but like a pine cleaner.
My cats & I LOVE the pine litter, too! It took awhile to switch them over to it, but eventually they preferred it to the clay stuff. I changed over one box at a time (4 litterboxes) and let about a month go by before converting the next box to pine...so overall, it took about 4 months, but it was well worth the wait! Urine smell is a thing of the past, and I feel great about the fact that my babies don't have to breathe in any chemicals when they do their business !
cool i will see if I can find equine pine. yes the only thing about feline pine is the cost, but i can make a large bag go 3 or 4 weeks, so not too bad.
thanks for the tip.
I've never seen world's best litter that i can recall. what's it like?
it does track a bit of sawdust i spose, but we have a mat around the pan and it holds on to almost all of it, i just sweep up the rest.
and no, it smells a bit of pine when you first fill the pan, but you won't smell it hardly at all thereafter.
another idea to get your cat used to it is mix half n half of the new stuff and the old stuff, gradually replacing the old til its all new. my cats are very agreeable to changes for the most part and i had no troubles.

As for using world's best litter, my baby doesn't track a mess either, I have a special rug that I place so that when he's finished, he can walk out and I clean both litter boxes once in the morning and once when coming back from work.
I don't find our home smells of feline but that may be since I also wash him down with a warm washcloth like a human baby in the morning after breakfast and he loves it too.
OK, I tried the Feline Pine. My cats took to it immediately. I liked the (lack of) smell. I liked the fact it's so much lighter than clay litter. But because it's so light, somebody who's used to being able to step on the side of the box on the way out flipped the litterbox. Twice. Litter everywhere. Back to Arm & Hammer I guess unless there's some other setup I could use.

Thanks..that gave me me a morning chuckle
Until I read your post I was thinking of trying it but my one cat is a good part Maine Coon & big, she does the same thing and would flip the box too
Unless I put a heavy rock in there...lol
Kate, this won't help you if the litterbox is in tight quarters but I put it up against the wall and put a small steamer trunk that has heavy stuff is it along the other side, up tight enough to wedge it in a little bit. Hopefully they'll accept this. They're really pretty flexible about changes so I think they will.
I use equine pine. Same stuff but half the price.
I love the fact that there is very little mess.
Equine pine? I looked it up. It's a stall bedding, right? So this works well and it's not super pricey?
I've been thinkng about trying the corn litter.
