We heard about using horse bedding pellets

for cat litter on one of the cat blogs and decided to give it a try.

This is what it looks like when you open the bag.

And this is what it looks like when it gets damp.

It basically breaks down into a kind of sawdust.

Positives: No Dust!

No litter glitter being tracked all over.

Naturally neutralizes odors.

Is made from pine shavings and sawdust from lumber mills that otherwise would be thrown out.

Much better for landfills than clumping litter.

Basically earth friendly.

Only $5.99 for a 40 lb. bag.

Negatives: It takes a good while for the cats and their peeps to get used to.

My advice is to slowly incorporate it into litter boxes, don’t rush it.

Mix it in with your current litter

and slowly increase the pellets and decrease your current litter.

It has been over 2 months since we started

and it is well worth the headache of adjusting to this as an alternative litter.

A huge thanks to the cat blog FULL PAW for the recommendation – we couldn’t be happier!

There is nothing better or more challenging …

than creating a blog post with kittens on your lap!
