PaPurr Scoopable Cat Litter 00204-18B, 18-pound bag Read more...

  • For cats and humans with respiratory issues, asthma or allergies
  • Non-toxic, Non-hazardous, 100% completely biodegradable
  • Great for all types of small animal waste management
  • Acts and feels like clay, but is 99% dust free
  • Made from 100% recycled paper

  • Cats like it & OK for septic tank disposal I live in Ghana and my house has a septic tank and there are issues with garbage disposal so I need a litter that I can flush. The man who built my septic tank gave the OK for this product after 1 of my cats refused corn cob litter and wheat litter. Both Maine Coons and the Tabby have all accepted PaPurr scoopable cat litter with no hesitation. One of the Maine Coons hated the corn cob litter so much he did his business on the rug next to the litter box then scratched at the rug until he turned over a corner and thus covered his leavings. When I switched to PaPurr I could almost hear his sigh of relief. The only reason I give less than 5 stars is that it does not clump all that well and takes care and attention to scoop. But I am sure the cats give it 5 stars.
    Way better than I had expected now the only one I use I was hesitant to buy this product sounded too good to be true. It does clump tightly it is flushable it does control odor my cat didn't seem to notice the change and it was way easier on my allergies.
    Wish there was a litter that did everything it should! I have been on a mission to find a litter that has less dust. Have used Everclean with Crystals for years & it was pretty good. Can't find it anymore & my husband brought home Everclean Multicat. Yuk! It is so dusty & the perfume smell is nauseating. Papurr sounded very interesting & although quite expensive I thought I would give it a try. Opened the bag thought it looked quite nice didn't smell too bad and when I poured it into the box no dust! Both kitties seemed to have no problem adjusting to it they are not terribly fussy. After trying to scoop the litter box I went back & looked at the bag to make sure I purchased the scoopable product. I guess I have learned now that scoopable does not really mean 'clumping'. I had no trouble scooping the poops but the urine does not clump & ends up on the bottom of the box forming some kind of light green goo. Pretty disgusting. Ok so I am now going to try Purr & Simple. I just really want to get away from the clay litters. I know they are not good for my cats & not especially good for us when we breathe the dust. My one cat is allergic to all grains so the wheat & corn litters are not an option. They are already using the Purr & Simple told you they were not fussy. Haven't done any scooping yet my husband does the morning scoop detail. Will update & let you know if this is the litter I will use.
    smells like urine on newspaper I have owned multiple cats for almost 30 years. We keep our litter box in the laundry room and my wife asked if the litter we use is the best for odor. I felt as if I had tried every brand but perhaps there was a new product out there. So I did some searching for the best litter. From the reviews PaPurr seemed to be the answer.After shipping the cost was over $42.00. When it came to scooping poop it did fine but as most of us know a child's sandbox sand can do that job. The urine does not clump. It soaks in and smells as if you are training a puppy. I ended up throwing the litter away after a few days.Don't waste your time or money on this product.
    Simply ok PaPurr litter is simply ok. It does clump somewhat although very loosely. It did prevent odor for a couple of days but after scooping the ammonia smell kept getting worse and worse. It also tracked easily. The best thing I can say about this litter is that it is not grain based I have a cat with a grain allergy and it is biodegradeable. I will continue my search for a better litter.
    I don't like it I've been in search of a nonclay cat litter that can perform like clay litter. I've seen good reviews of PaPurr and was hoping it was the solution. I think I'm going to have to move onto trying another litter. About the only true pro I can say about it is that it is very light. However that means it tracks very easily. I could live with that though if it clumped well and hid smells. I don't think it does either well. The clumping ability is not good and I've never used a litter that did such a terrible job of masking odors. I could smell ammonia outside the room the litter box is in. Based on the reviews there's obviously people that like this litter but I can't suggest it.
    Great litter My cats and my sniffer both like this stuff. This is the best litter that I have ever used. I think it clumps very nicely and I noticed that my allergies don't act up when I clean it. I use scented arm and hammer baking soda with it to cut down on odors. My cats adjusted to it right away. As some reviewers pointed out it really does look like litter. I switched one of the boxes over a week ago just to make sure there were no problems. Both cats seemed to like it. One word of warning though be careful when you open the box. I sliced open the bag when I was opening the box. The litter bags are a little flimsy.
    Awesome! This Papurr is great for my cats! It has the texture of small granule clay excellent because my cats reject the pellet design of most newspaper litters AND it clumps!!! As far as the scent it is very mild smells like a slight whiff of baby powder. I like the fact that Paypurr uses Guar Gum for the clumping agent as this is a sticky plant product used in food for binding the ingredients in recipes it is completely edible and safe for cats.
    Cat Litter that Recycles Waste to Eliminate Waste I learned recently that PaPurr is manufactured from the stuff that paper mills usually throw away when they've made paper towels. That's fantastic! The folks at PaPurr take something that someone would usually just toss out and make something that our cats LOVE! It's so soft on their paws and THERE'S NO DUST!!!!!! If I'm not sneezing and wondering what's going into my lungs with this stuff and I'm six feet above the box I'm forced to believe the cat being right there at ground zero loves the fact he/she isn't breathing litter dust into his/her lungs.Added bonus an 18lb bag of PaPurr performs like a 30lb bag of clay litter.
    Good Product overall I had used this litter several years ago with our older cat when it was available locally and was happy with it. I now have two additional cats one of whom is kind of fussy about her litter doesn't like scented litters and have been doing sidebyside comparisons of different litters to see what she would like. I was happy when I found that the litter was available again and since the shipping was free it was worth ordering online. I like the fact that the litter is lighter weight it clumps pretty nicely and odor control is good. The rounded particle shape is particularly easy to sift through. Because the litter is light there is a little bit of kick out due to vigorous covering attempts I have standard open boxes but I'd say actual tracking was very low. The down side was that even though the litter isn't scented per se it does have that unique odor that most paper litters have. It's not really a bad smell but not terribly pleasant either. So I'm not sure if it was the scent or not but the fussy cat wouldn't ever use it. Thankfully the other cats did so it wasn't a complete waste.

    Feline Pine Original Litter 20 Pound This used to be much better

    Feline Pine  Original Cat Litter, 20-Pound Bag
    Feline Pine Original Cat Litter, 20-Pound Bag Read more...

  • Net quantity of 20 pounds
  • Without any of the chemicals or silica dust; scoop fully absorbs liquid
  • Highly absorbent pine litter binds directly to ammonia particles and locks them
  • Naturally neutralizes strong odors on contact, leaving your home remarkably fresh

  • Happy Cat Owner Took a little getting used to my cat actually made the switch without a problem. I use the Feline Pine Original with a sifting litter box. It does scoop differently from clumping litter but once you get used to that difference it's much easier. There is hardly any tracking on my floor just around the litter box! The odor control is AMAZING! There is NO odor. Highly recommend.
    This used to be much better Feline Pine recently changed the formula to make it 2x absorbent. That also means it disintegrates twice as fast and now I have litter dust everywhere in my house. If you don't mind it in your bed in the kitchen on the furniture and on your clothes this litter is for you. It hides the odor better than any other litter period.FYI this is the second set of cats I'ved used Feline Pine with so I've been a customer for over 15 years. I just vacuumed yesterday and there's litter dust on my dresser on the sofa and on the floor. I've bought my last bag of Feline Pine. What a shame.
    More volatile than gas prices This works well for a multi cat household butthe price jumps are insane. I bought several bags yesterday at $8.32 each. Today the same litter is priced at $16.48 for the 20 lb. bag almost the same as the 40 lb. bag which is $17.99. You need to be prescient or at least very lucky to purchase this item at a fair price.
    Expensive ~ Go To Your Local Feed Store I am continually amazed at how much pet stores and retailers selling pet supplies charge for basic stuff. Feline Pine is no exception. I switched my multiple cat household to pine pellets and for the first time EVER I don't smell cat urine. However I don't buy Feline Pine. Go to your local feed store and buy the 44 pound equine bedding pellets for about $67 per bag.
    Worst cat litter ever. Worst cat litter ever I can't tell how bad I'm disappointed with this litter poor cat pees and the litter turns into dust right away then he does not wanna pee in the same box again until you change the whole litter avoid this.
    Feline Pine works well! Used all sorts of litter clump clay beads cornmeal and found this one to be the best of the bunch. The smells are quite mitigated and you don't get new bugs as you could with the cornmealbased ones. Clumping can lodge itself to the litter box and scrapping that can be a pain. This ships on a schedule for our two cats and with their old point system got a free scoop. The cats come out with clean paws unlike the claybased litters we'd find litter literally all over the house on sofas and chairs on the bed wherever they roamed.One draw back though is how you want to deal with the broken down litter since it becomes soft and builds up in the box. You can throw it all out but there's still a good mix of unused litter pellets.
    two types of Feline Pine Feline Pine WAS making two types of cat litter but the BETTER of the two is becoming hard to find. One con given for what I shall call the 'rabbit food pellet' variety was that is doesn't clump. I HATE the pellet type of litter and my cats don't care for it either. HOWEVER Feline Pine DOES or at least DID make a CLUMPING variety of pine litter that works WONDERFULLY. It's small grain pine granules of sawdust are light smell great and continues to smell better even after use more than ANY other type of litter I've come across and clumps reasonably well with the addition of guar gum a food type of thickening agent. It doesn't clump quite as well as clay litter but doesn't have any of clay's disadvantages either. A good trade off in my book. It was first recommended to me by a friend of my daughter's who pet sits for us on occasion because her allergies made clay litter problematic. I took some to my mom because the weight of clay litter was a problem for her 84 year old arthritic hands and bad shoulder. What I don't understand is why anyone would use the pellet kind when the MUCH better clumping Feline Pine is available. Now it's getting hard to find the clumping kind in local stores but the pellet fad seems to be taking over. I don't get it.
    Feline Pine easy to use This litter makes it easy to clean only those areas where the cats have peed. It has a nice smell too.
    My cats won't use it. They may dislike the feel of the pellets. Also they do manage to track the stuff dirty around their litter pans. Not something I will inflict on them again.
    This was once an excellent product Looks like Feline Pine has changed their product to make a larger profit. They have taken the large pellets and made them into smaller bits. Now there is more sawdust tracking outside of the cat box and you have to change the litter box more often. This is still a good product but the larger pellets were excellent. New and Improved is really new and you're screwed. It is a shame a company can take an excellent product and make it mediocre. I would have paid a higher price for the original.
