Feline Fresh natural pine litter smells like Ikea :)

If there were a title for "World's Best Cat Litter", I would give it to pine litter and not the self-acclaimed "World's Best" corn litter. Like corn litter, pine litter clumps and is flushable but is not edible. In fact, it gives a pleasant pine fragrance just like in Ikea!

For just only RM21 for 2.73kg (6lbs) from Jusco Setiawangsa, the pine litter is good value for money. My two cats have been using it for 2 weeks, and there is still just under half a bag left.

Pros
+ Good value for money
+ Pleasant pine smell
+ Clumps better than clay, so litter doesn't stubbornly stick to tray or floor
+ Flushable, so no need to waste plastic bags for collecting litter
+ Biodegradable, so don't worry about it blocking your loo bowl
+ Not edible like corn, so no disgusting scenes of cats nibbling on litter
+ Fine texture, gentle on sensitive paws and feet. You won't notice you stepped on it like crystal, clay, or paper pellet litter!

Con
- Pine litter bits show up on dark carpets and sofas

World's Best (Edible?) All Natural Corn Litter

I like to keep a good stock of cat food and litter in case I'm too busy to get replenishments when they run out. So when one of my favourite pet shops, Pet Epicure, had a special 1-day 10% discount, I took the opportunity to load up on supplies.

However, they didn't stock clay cat litter, so I decided to try another similar product - corn cat litter! I suppose that means it's a little less harmful than clay if the cat ingests it, right? After all, don't many manufacturers use corn in cat food?

Keyword: Food. I didn't think about that. Needless to say, I was surprised when my cats actually took turns to sniff and... nibbled on the cat litter! I was a bit worried that my cats would get confused and pee elsewhere but they eventually figured it out. But when my husband cleaned and topped up the litter, they started nibbling the litter again...

Oh dear. I think we'll revert to clay litter. At least the cats don't try to eat it and it's better at controlling odour.
