As long as there are cat owners and cats, you will find products to help you get rid of that mess we call cat litter! Clay has always been the traditional favorite for the cat box, simply because it is easily available, and more importantly, because Mr. Tibbs loves it! There is just one problem - the odor! If you maintain a litter box for your cat, I don't need to explain how overpowering the odor is. If you're sick and tired of the odor then here's good news - pine cat litter. That's right, the litter is made from natural pine wood, and this masks the odor we all know so well!

The price you pay is in cash. The shelf price is twice that of the usual clumping type. That is enough to put off most cat owners. However, the effective cost of the pine pellet cat litter is hardly more than that of ordinary cat litter! The volume of the pine pellets increases on wetting, so you need only use half the usual quantity of cat litter. So that brings the cost per use of the pine cat litter on par with that of the ordinary cat litter.

Price apart, the market for pine cat litter has not really taken off as the producer expected. Very expectedly, your Tabby put his paw down on the issue. Cats, as you are well aware, are creatures of pretty strong habits, and likes and dislikes. Cats like to have things exactly their way. So, faced with a box full of little pellets, Tabby is expressing his strong disapproval of this modernism! The small pine pellets are very uncomfortable to walk on, so Tabby informs us, holding up a set of chafed paws.

The work-around for this particular problem is to get the cat using the pine pellets gradually. In the beginning put in a handful of pine litter and make up the usual quantity with the normal stuff. Gradually increase the amount of pine litter and correspondingly reduce the amount of normal litter. Finally you'll be using all pine litter. If your cat still does not go for it then that's that! You'll have to put with the odor. Better that than have your cat not use the box at all!

If you do want to use pine cat litter there is another way. Some owners use 90% pine cat litter to lay the box. The top 10% is filled up with ordinary clumping litter. Faced with his favorite litter, your cat has no objection now. And you, of course, are rid of that smell!

But what works for us appears to go against Tabby's disposition. Cats show a degree of discomfort to the smell of pine. So there are many instances of cats refusing to use the litter box when it is filled with pine pellets. Your cat can't stand the odor of pine, you can't stand the odor of cat's mess! Any guesses who'll win the stand off? Oh well, we humans pride ourselves on being understanding! In case you're wondering, the pine pellets are completely detoxified and are absolutely harmless to cats.

Pine cat litter can be composted and used as garden manure. The solid waste must be removed before composting the litter. So pine cat litter can claim to be environment-aware and environment-friendly.

It all boils down to what Tabby likes! If he likes the pine pellet cat litter, then you're all set. If he doesn't, then you'd better learn to cover your nose with a scented kerchief whenever you're in the house! Meow!
