cat litter

[pnutts]

Any one using pine pellets for cat litter?  If you buy the 40 lb bags for Horse bedding - it is supposed to be cheap, less dust and less odorous.

I found small bags at pet smart but they are pricey. At this farm supplier near St Mary's, ON ( TSC in US carries them ) they are C$5.50/40 lbs.

 

For horses - you mix a bag in wheelbarrow with some water to make a finer and softer bedding, expands about 3X.

Urine breaks pellets down further into sawdust which sinks to the bottom.

So far I have not seen anything definitive in adding some water when used as cat litter.

Some say yes - easier to walk on. Others say no - don't want it to be too small, etc.

I'm pretty sure the kitties will provide enough moisture.

I'm familiar with the pellets firstly in the horse barn arena. They absorb the urine, are scooped up and transferred to phase 1 of 4 for making compost. But I also have bought bags of them for my garden, they help to add bulk to my soil, I'm on the Pacific ocean and battle sand.

If it were me I wouldn't have a problem adding water first, but that's just me. I'd let it dry, easy to do, then use it as litter. Sounds like a lot of work but it's really not. To my mind it make sense, natural wise.

I love the pellets, so versatile.
