Feline Pine Scoop Litter 53035 Won't buy again


Feline Pine Scoop Litter - 53035 - Bci
  • Neutralizes odor naturally.
  • Lightweight - easy to carry.
  • Designed for mulitple cat homes.
  • Won't buy again Initially I was so pleased to find this litter. Finally a lightweight box to carry up the stairs. I'm recovering from back surgery so thought this litter would solve the carrying problem. I changed out litter yesterday and my two cats used it last night with no problem. I came home from work today and more than half of the contents of the box was on the floor. What a mess! I know this litter is lightweight but this is ridiculous. I'm going back to Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Clumping Cat Litter not found on Amazon. I wasn't crazy about the fragrance but it too is lightweight and sure worked better than this Feline Pine.
    Great odor control good clumping While I admit that the one flaw with this product is its inability to stay in my litter box I do like the natural odor control and good clumping. When I first put the litter in a clean empty litter box my cats went right in but made a mess tossing the litter out of the box. The litter is so light and fluffy that with vigorous digging it easily goes over the side of the box. I had to sweep my floor three times before I solved this problem by putting a throw rug next to the litter box. Now when the litter is sprinkled outside of the box I just pick up the throw rug and shake the litter back into the box. I don't find any more litter on my carpet/cat/furniture/etc than I did when I used clay litter.
    Great litter I felt I had to chime in with some contrast to the folks who were displeased with this litter. I've been using it for our two cats for quite some time now and have been quite pleased with it.The litter does track a bit more than our clay litter did though not nearly as much as it sounds in the other reviews. We keep small mats built for catching litter on the floor in front of the litter boxes and surely they make a difference perhaps more than I give them credit for.
    Creates more work than necessary Having purchased this litter under the impression it would neutralize odors and make our kittens' litter easier to scoop I was disappointed that my main concern became having to use the vacuum to clean up the debris this litter tracks around the house. The kittens spread this crap everywhere and it becomes an unnecessary distraction like using a broom to clean up a year's worth of dust everyday. When the kittens jumped in bed or on the couch the litter would assuredly stick to their coats and paws leaving a fresh noticeable trail that needed to be swept. I will never be purchasing this again.
    Worse than Clay I have had many cats in my lifetime and I have used many different types of cat litter. Other than Tidy Cats this has to be one of the worst. I have a 3 month kitten I am teaching litter training and this litter makes a HUGE mess. It's dusty and since my kitten is mediumlong haired it gets stuck all in his legs and tail and tracks throughout the house. I had it in his box for about an hour and in that time I literally vacuumed 3 times! This is when I got fed up and took it back to exchange for Yesterday's News. MUCH better no dust no tracking.The Pro's about this product are it does a semi good job of clumping and and it has a pleasant plywood smell. It is also made of renewable Yellow Pine. But the mess just ruined it for me.
    dusty kitty! i'll keep this short as there isn't much to say that's good about it. we had used conventional litter and tried this as we're trying to be more green. the cat can be a little picky but took to it without issue. after a few days though we noticed dust everywhere on the bed on the bathroom rug and of course on the cat. it doesn't seem to bother her so much but it bothers us. now we're looking for an alternative as we won't be buying more of this. one note as we transitioned over from the conventional stuff we mixed this in and didn't notice the tracking problem. i'm not sure if it's coincidental but thought i'd mention it.

    Littermaid Premium Clumping Cat Litter Works great with the littermaid machine


    Littermaid Premium Clumping Cat Litter
  • Reduces litter used in system
  • Completely safe for cats & household
  • Minimal dust & litter tracked out of the litter box
  • Comfortable for cats due to natural feel
  • Best performance - clumps fast and hard
  • Be Careful First of all this litter does not absorb odor at all. Second one of my cats had such an allergic reaction to it that he was afraid to use the litterbox at all until I replaced the litter with the sstuff I normally use and showed him over and over that it was ok.
    Works great with the littermaid machine I have been using this product for a few months with the machine with no problems. I have not tried anything else with the Littermaid machine. However I have used a traditional litter box for many years and I find that I prefer this litter because it doesn't have the pungent smell that accompanies most traditional litters. One warning your cat may try to eat the litter. If I leave the bag unattended my cat will chew it open and eat. Luckily she will not eat it out of the pan although I have seen it done by other cats. It's something to watch out for.
    Certainly works best with Littermaid Litter box but my catPatches said No!

    Purr Simple Natural Clumping Litter The REAL world's best cat litter - Now a Blue Buffalo product


    Purr&Simple All Natural Clumping Cat Litter 8lbs + 2 Free
  • Low Dust
  • Twice the Odor Control
  • Safe for Cats and Kittens
  • Low Tracking
  • 100% Natural & Biodegradable
  • Very dusty I bought this litter for my asthmatic cats. It doesn't seem to bother them much but give me allergies and covers everything in the same room with brown dust. On a positive note it clumps very well and is the best nonclay litter to get rid of odors. I will be changing back to wheat I just don't like the thought of brown dust coating my cats' airways.
    Love this Litter In our endless quest to find the best cat litter we purchased two bags of this litter. I was skeptical after reading other reviews but upon pouring this into the litter pan did not notice an excessive amount of dust at all. I must admit initially I was a little taken back by the dark brown color of this litter. It kind of looks like potting soil or dirt. We put this into a clean pan next to the other litter pans.
    Cats love it My husband got a free sample of this at a trade show. My two cats love it! I have several litter boxes and they would use the box with this new litter over the other box. The only issue I would have is for some reason they get a little too zealous with digging and spill this litter outside the box. It seems to be more absorbant than most litters.
    The REAL world's best cat litter Now a Blue Buffalo product If you are wondering why it's hard to find the Kwik Klump it's transitioning to Blue Buffalo Naturally Fresh.[.]The above link will take you to the brand page for the Naturally Fresh trademarking.
    Caused MegaCat Sneezes My cat has adapted well to many different kinds of cat litter over the years. He has never had an allergic reaction to anything. He took one look at this litter and literally jumped two feet backwards. It is very dark brownishblack in color. After a few hours he overcame his fear and began using it. For the next two days he did not stop sneezing. When I replaced it with other litter the sneezing stopped.
    Great Flushable Cat Litter I read every review of natural cat litters while researching a new litter for our finicky cat. I think people need to remember that you have a box of cat waste in you house there's no magic formula that will prevent 100% of odor or prevent 100% of tracking. However that said we have experienced far less smell and tracking with this litter than we have with others.


    Low Dust.Twice the Odor Control.Safe for Cats and Kittens.Low Tracking.100% Natural & Biodegradable. Purr & Simple Kwik Klump formula is fast forming and the hard clumps are easy to scoop and has been certified as flushable for those allowed to flush. Mother Nature provided Purr & Simple with an incredibly effective odor neutralizing ingredient - the Nutshell! Our all-natural cat litter maintains a proprietary blend of fibrous material from tree-nut crops. This revolutionary cat litter is annually renewable - made from resources that can be restored by nature within one year. Think about it . . . the trees that are planted to produce food for the world convert carbon dioxide to oxygen. Then tree-nut by-products are used as cat litter to solve a common household problem - odor control from pets. And after use, Purr & Simple can be returned to the Earth as compost. Can you think of a more environmental friendly product with a lower carbon footprint.

    Tidy Cats Immediate Odor Control Stinks


    Tidy Cats Immediate Odor Control
  • High performance clay litter neutralizes ammonia odors on contact
  • The moisture activated deodorizing system immediately reacts to the presence of waste for highly effective odor control
  • Perfect for multiple cat households
  • Stinky Cats I bought this product at a grocery store because it was on sale making it cheaper than the Fresh Step I usually buy. I will never make that mistake again. I have 2 cats a 20 lb bag of Tidy Cats *just* filled my 2 litter boxes. Those boxes stunk like the dickens the very first time my cats used them. I dumped an entire box of baking soda in each box to try and fight the odor but I had to change both boxes after 4 days because they were soaked with urine and my entire upstairs smelled like cat waste. That room still stinks.
    Stinks I am quite disappointed. This litter is perfumed with a nasty chemical smell that stinks up the entire house. The stench is obviously most concentrated inside the litter box where the poor cats have to endure it I am surprised they don't pass out from this crap. I had to spread this stuff out in a thin layer on a piece of cardboard and let it sit outside for about 9 hours just to get some of the chemical scent to diminish. I doubt this litter actually controls odor instead I think it just masks odors with its noxious chemical scent.It is sad how our culture has been duped into believing that the simulacrum an offensive odd chemical smell equates to a fresh scent.Also the urine clumps are completely mushy. On the first day I noticed my cat limping apparently trying to get something off its paw. I found that the wet clumps stick aggressively to the bottoms of my cat's paws which I have to clean off by hand.

    Natures Miracle Control Clumping Litter The Tale of Two (awful) Litters


    Nature's Miracle Odor Control Clumping Cat Litter
  • Triple action, dust free hard-clumping litter with natural enzymes works naturally to absorb liquid, neutralize odors, and deliver a fresh, long-lasting scent
  • Lightweight, flushable, and 99.9% dust free
  • Natural corncob granules immediately absorb more than twice the volume of clay litter
  • By FAR the best I've tried I've used unscented Arm & Hammer clumping litter for years because I hate perfume. It was dusty and created a sticky mess in the litter box if I didn't clean it at least once a day I hated scooping as the box always smelled bad and the dust bothered my asthma. But I thought that was as good as it was going to get.Then I tried A&H Essentials because I heard that clay litter was an environmental nono. The new litter filled my 1000 squ. ft. apartment with a mixture of fakepine perfume and cat box stink. Clumps broke easily and made a sticky mess then the moist litter stuck to the cats' paws and thence my carpet and yech! even my bed. I switched back to clay litter but while writing a review on Amazon I saw a post recommending Nature's Miracle. I decided things couldn't get much worse so I picked some up locally.The neutral because I can't think of anything bad* Nature's Miracle tracks only a little less than clumping clay litters. It's more visible because it's brown not grey but it doesn't get beyond a few feet from the box. But if you don't want any cat litter tracking you don't want cats.* I haven't researched whether this litter is on balance an environmentally sound product but if nothing else it takes far less energy to transport it.The good* No dust. At all. None.* Lightweight and lightweight bag of scooped waste.* Mild pleasant smell. The pleasant pine odor seems natural is never overpowering and doesn't leave the spare bedroom.* Little unpleasant smell. The reduced smell means I'm more likely to clean the box daily and hate it less if it goes longer. Even the garbage room smells better.* Much much less scatter than clay. I'm not sure why but the cats hardly kick any out of the box when they're using it. Maybe they hate it less too?* Easy transition.

    Scoop Away Unscented Clumping Litter Great clumping, unscented litter


    Scoop Away Unscented Clumping Cat Litter
  • Tough odor control
  • 99.9% dust free
  • Clumps hard
  • No dyes, perfume or added fragrance
  • Hernia Inducing Cat Litter I used Fresh Step and Scoop Away cat litters for many years and was quick to tell any of my cat owner friends that they were the best bang for the buck litters. They clumped hard making the chore of cleaning the cat box a relatively easy one. Sometime around 6 months ago that all changed. Now they form a sludge in the cat box that is nearly impossible to scrape out. The amount of effort necessary to clean the box could easily induce a muscle strain or hernia for those unfortunate enough to purchase one of these litters. Both products are made by the Clorox Pet products Co.
    Great clumping unscented litter Don't understand the negative review I've been using this litter for years and continue to find that it scoops wonderfully well. Once in the while when the cat pees right up against the inside wall of the litterbox it might be tricky to scoop it because the pee was not totally surrounded by litter. Similarly if you don't put enough litter in the box the cat might be able to clear the litter from the bottom where it digs and the pee will stick a little to the box.

Scoop Away Unscented Clumping Cat LitterScoop Away Unscented Clumping Cat Litter forms tight clumps that are easy to scoop. The small, highly absorptive granules and maximum clumping action work together to absorb liquid into tight, solid clumps.
