4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars for a single cat household. Not so much for multi-cat, December 4, 2006

I used this litter for almost two years for my 3 yr old male cat. It worked great. Never any smells and easy to clean. Plus the larger pellets don't track. However, one problem with this and other "set it and forget it" litters that absorb liquids as opposed to clumps that you remove, is that there is a large grey area in terms of figuring out when to change the litter. The bag mentions that all the pellets will completely break down once they have absorbed litter, but it's hard to determine when that point is. This leaves your cat pawing through a box full of damp(with urine) sawdust if you are not studious about checking the breaking point for the litter. Still, it worked great for one cat with consistent waste(read, nice and dry poop)

This ALL changed once I got a new 3 month old kitten with stool issues(more liquid than solid, I'll just say). The problem is, any "moisture rich" cat turds don't really absorb quickly enough into the litter and the pine pellets are too large to effectively cover any waste like that.
Sooo..you're left with these pine pellet covered turd mines that my cats would step on and then...well, cat poop is not fun to have spread around the house.

On top of all that, the liquid absorbent qualities of the pellets meant having to change out the entire cat box pretty much on a weekly basis and since the litter isn't flushable, this became an issue.

Being able to clean out all waste(solid AND liquid) on a day to day basis is the main reason I switched over to Swheat Scoop which I really like(and have reviewed as well). It keeps the cat box truly clean and it's flushable.

I will say, that even with two cats, the feline pine kept odors down to a minimum(basically, you'd have to stick your head in the box to smell odors). So, I recommend it, keeping in mind the issues I had above. I think it's more of a one cat litter.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little known secret..., December 5, 2010

IF (and that's a big if) you can get your cat to like this kind of litter, it's great. You have to mix clay and the pine pellets together for quite some time before they adjust. 2 of my 3 cats like it, and thankfully the third cat would prefer to go outside. Well, Feline Pine is a great concept, but it is soooo much cheaper to go to a feed store and buy a 40 lb bag of HORSE BEDDING. It is the same exact stuff, tightly compacted pine pellets. I was using Feline Pine for a few months before my coworker suggested I go buy horse bedding instead. Feline Pine: 20 lbs for $15 OR horse bedding: 40 lbs for $6. It works exactly the same and lasts just as long. The only difference is the Feline Pine has a stronger pine smell. Save yourself some money and go to the feed store.

I have had cats for many years and have used several brands of litter. When Feline Pine came out I tried it and instantly loved it. I recently have mixed Tidy Cat Crystals in with it and have found a perfect combination. Half of a small bag of Feline Pine with one third of the jug of Tidy Cat Crystals for one cat for two weeks. It doesn't stick to the feet and track like the scoopables, it swells and turns to sawdust as it's used and the smell is very limited especially if you use a covered litter box with swinging door. I don't scoop or do another thing to it until it's time to dump, rinse, and start all over. You will find some saw dust outside of the litter box at the end of the two weeks but not tracked all through the house. It is the best!
