great alternative litter, October 24, 2004

This review is from: Northeastern Products Cedarific Natural Cedar Chips Cat Litter, 50 Liter Bag (Misc.)

I have a cat who has always had litter box issues -- she is very picky about the way her litter feels, smells, etc. This is the first product I've found that eliminates those issues almost completely. (I think my cat is too neurotic for the issues to ever go away completely.) It is soft and smells nice in a natural way -- not chemically scented. It is also inexpensive and soooooooo much lighter to carry than regular cat litter. Definitely worth a try.

Cedarfic cat litter is by far the best litter out there. I'm puzzled as to why it is not more readily available - and frustrated, too. It actually smells GOOD, like, well, fresh cedar. It's very, very lightweight. I just scoop the solids out and then, when it's old and does start to smell a little, I just dump it in a trash bag, rinse out the pan with water, dry it with paper towels, and that's it. No mess that you have to scrape or scrub out of the pan, ever, like with all other litters. I have 2 cats, and one box of this litter lasts about 2 weeks when the weather's bad and they're indoors; longer if they're spending time outside. AND if you're conscious of your cat's health and prefer natural products, this is FAR superior to the pine, wheat and corn products I have tried, with regard to odor, weight, ease of clean-up, tracking, everything. It is such a superior product and saves me enough annoyance and time on a regular basis that I have resorted to buying it in huge quantities, online, and paying about as much in shipping as I do for the actual litter. To me, a notorious penny-pincher, it's worth it. It still works out to a comparable price to other litters because it lasts so long. There used to be one grocery store in town that carried it, and they no longer do.

Nice Litter - Eradicates Odors on the Spot!, May 26, 2009

Diana De Avila "MS Gkygrl" (Malta, NY USA) -

This review is from: Feline Pine Original Cat Litter, 40-Pound Bags (Grocery)

I used Feline Pine for years until I discovered Nature's Logic Ponderosa Pine Cat Litter that was just slightly more economical. In theory, they do the same exact thing.

Here is what I like:

1) Pleasant pine smell really hides the smell of cat urine.
2) Turns from pellets to sawdust (time to change the box).
3) Easy to scoop.
4) Safe for kitties.
5) No dust clouds

Here is what I don't like so much:

1) If you don't keep on top of it, the sawdust can track,
2) Pellets can track and they are hard.

The pros from my experience far outweigh the cons. I did try the Nature's Earth Feline Pine Scoop Cat Litter for several months with my 5 cats but found that the "flakes" from the Feline Pine Clumping litter tracked everywhere.

Overall, pine beats the clay litters, corn and wheat litters. I have tried them all for months at a time and have stuck with the pine litters. They absolutely do what they say and do a wonderful job of hiding urine smells. I change my boxes often and do not put more than an inch or so of litter in -- the sawdust tracking tells me it's time to change. As far as disposing of the litter (cat poop), I just flush them.

Easy stuff and ends up to be very economical. I order about 6 bags at a time by mail so I don't have to lug them :)

Miracle Product, May 2, 2010

This review is from: Feline Pine Original Cat Litter, 40-Pound Bags (Grocery)

My review for the 20 lb. bag (I order both, it's the same stuff):

This stuff is absolutely incredible. I'm allergic to just about everything, including the dust that rises off of traditional clay and silica litter. If you have a special room for your litter, you'll notice that regular dust gets on every surface. It's disturbing, really. That stuff is going into your lungs you know. Feline Pine has NO DUST. Pour it out, and your litter area smells pleasantly of a lumber yard (well, I find that pleasant). When cats use the box, urine breaks down the pellets and is absorbed. Solid waste sits on top. You only run into trouble if your cat has gastrointestinal track problems - loose bowel movements are more difficult to scoop. The pellets track a bit, but they're large and a litter mat will slow their progress across a room.

Now, I will offer one caveat: this litter is terrific, but only if you use the right box. If you use a regular, non-sifting box, the pellets will break down into sawdust, and the sawdust will then just sit there. This sawdust can track further than the pellets, because it can stick to kitty feet. The solution? A sifting litter box. Either the Tidy Cat Breeze box or the Feline Pine litter box works, the latter better than the former. I have both. The Tidy Cat Breeze litter pads also work nicely with this product in the holding reservoir of a sifting-type box. Put the Feline Pine on top, shake the box or move the sawdust around with a scoop, and sawdust will fall into the reservoir under the top tray. Et voila! No sawdust on top, fresh pellets are not wasted with constant litter changes. Just make sure to shake the broken pellets into the bottom and there's no tracking. Scoop feces and flush down the toilet (yes, this litter is flushable too!). If you use the Tidy Cat Breeze pads, they will help soak up any moisture in the sawdust that falls into the reservoir, eliminating any odors.

Also a bonus: you only need about an inch of litter in the box. A bag will stretch for quite awhile. As pellets turn to sawdust and fall into the reservoir, just add more pellets. No litter changes necessary. Just remember to empty out the litter box reservoir as it fills up.

In terms of getting cats to use it, just mix the Feline Pine with your regular stuff for about a week, gradually increasing the Feline Pine and decreasing the regular stuff. I trained a 9-year-old cat to use the litter in a week.

In short, this is a miracle product, especially in a multi-cat household.

Feline pine is the best but you can get cheaper, December 10, 2009

Piper Laird (California) -

This review is from: Feline Pine Original Cat Litter, 40-Pound Bags (Grocery)

Feline pine is the best litter if you use it correctly and make sure to get all the moisture in contact with the pellets.

What I was pleasantly shocked to find out is that FP is NOT a new concept. It is just new marketing. FP is the same as stall pellets used for livestock. You can get the EXACT product for $6-7 per 40 lbs bag at a local feed store. I live in the city and don't have a local feed store but while driving on vacation passed one and picked up several bags.

If you can't get to a feed store. FP is also the same as SOME stove pellets. Buy pellets with no additives if you buy stove pellets.

FP = stall pellets = stove pellets (wo accelerators).

Keep using this litter but save yourself a lot of money by getting the unmarketed product. Feel free to call Feline Pine who will confirm that their price is because of advertising. Kudos to then for getting the product to the masses though. They are a great company.

Bissell sweeper..., March 19, 2006

This review is from: Bissell Swift Sweep Sweeper, 2201-2 (Kitchen)

This is a good little sweeper. I got it to sweep-up cat litter on low pile carpet between my vacuumings; and that it does. I esp. like the comb (included) that comes in handy when you're cleaning the bristles, it then attaches to the sweeper's pole so you don't loose it--nice feature, it's made of all metal construction so it won't crack like the plastic ones do. In this item, quality actually superceeds the price.
Sincerely,
E.Morton

Worth the price, March 22, 2007

Desert Kat (Palm Desert, CA) -

This review is from: Bissell Swift Sweep Sweeper, 2201-2 (Kitchen)

I have used my sweeper about 3 times now and it works quite well on our Pergo (laminate) floors...it picked up cat hair, crumbs, small leaves with no problem. It also works pretty well on our low pile carpet (again, crumbs, cat hair and grass) as well as the throw rugs in the kitchen (dried coffee grounds). As another reviewer mentioned, the handle fell apart the first time I used it, but black electrical tape is a good fix. I like the fact that I don't have to drag out the big, heavy vacuum cleaner and scare the cat (due to the noise)!

If it weren't for the handle..., December 9, 2005

Terry T "Peak Mom" (Apex, NC United States) -

This review is from: Bissell Swift Sweep Sweeper, 2201-2 (Kitchen)

I bought this at Lowes Home Improvement for 9.97 - it's their regular price. The handle pieces do come out but don't despair! I had some carpet tape (double-sided) lying around and wrapped only a small piece around each end before I put it back together. It works like a charm. For how long, I don't know, but for the price I paid and how well it works otherwise, it will be worth investing in another role of tape in about a hundred years or so.
I can't drag the vacuum out all the time, don't want to and besides the dogs go nuts. This works as well as the carpet sweeper I remember pushing around as a little girl so I gave it an extra star for nostalgia. Gets all crumbs (don't expect it to get ground in dog hair) and gets all lint & small things you'd normally drag out the Hoover for. And No electricty needed!! If you miss the sound however, you can always hum!
