As a user of pine litter, a sifting box can come with its own cons. Over time, the sifting pan gets clogged and stops doing the job well. So I switched to disposable sifting liners. They're inexpensive and work great. As for scooping, in lieu of a sifting box or liner, you would do more of a "reverse scoop" where you sift out the clean in tact pellets from the sawdust. This works but it can be time consuming. My routine is to use a latex-gloved hand to remove the solids first and then sift the sawdust through the liner. It feels ick at first but you eventually get desensitized
@@vaughneudy3003 With the reusable sifting pan, did you ever have anything at the bottom that helped lift it up the sifting the pan where the sawdust falls into the other pan. I didn't know this when I got the pine pellets, but it needs about a couple of inches of clearance for the sawdust to fall down into the other pan otherwise it will get all caked up and icky. Just curious.
The equine pine liter they sell for horses is MUCH cheaper than that "Feline Pine" you're reviewing. It's $5 for a 40 pound bag at Tactor Supply and lasts a long time. You HAVE TO use it with a sifting litter pan, which you did not do in this video which is probably why your experience was not in line with mine. I purchased an Arm & Hammer sifting liter box and added/glued "feet" to the bottom of the sifting box to raise it up. I then use urine pads/puppy pads in the bottom and it will soak up excess urine as the dissolved pine liter falls to cover it. When you use it correctly, the urine will make the pine expand and it falls to the bottom of the tray leaving just solid waste that I scoop into my liter genie. The smell in my home is SOOOOOOOOO much better using this pine. It smells like a saw mill in the liter room and the cats LOVE it.
Buy off brand cheap boxes of baking soda. Add half a box to each box after cleaning it. Or add a little here and there after scooping it out daily. Can add that to any litter of your choice. Gets rid of odors
Great reviews! I’ve used ALL of them… I have 4 cats and there is certainly a learning curve with litter. Worlds Best used to be my solid go-to favorite. However, lately it’s quite dusty. I’m now using almost exclusively Naturally Fresh. It does look like large coffee grounds - but it does the job… all cats use it with no objection.. and the odor control is very good. I do scoop the 3 litter boxes 3 times a day - so odor typically is no issue as I keep the boxes pretty “clean”. I really appreciate your insight … thank you 😊
@@LindaDulcinea Hi Bella.. no I have no issues with staining… I do keep the litter boxes on a large mat and very little end up on my hardwood floor. The only thing I don’t love is that it just looks dirty because it’s dark brown… like coffee grounds. But it works great! I’m back to Worlds Best again - when on sale - because they seemed to have corrected the excess dust issue… but it’s about five bucks more than the Naturally Fresh…
I'm having this issue with Worlds best as well. My cats are coated with fine corn dust whenever they use the box and they are leaving paw prints all over the house. its like having their paws dipped in corn starch
Just a comment about sWheat Litter: Our lovely craftsman-style house was built in the 1920s and we usually have to trap a few mice each spring (unless one of our four cats gets them first, which I don't really want to happen). I tried sWheat Litter several years ago. Our litter boxes are in the laundry room which is by the back door. When I used sWheat litter, I started finding mouse droppings around the boxes, which surprised me because you'd think that the smell of cat urine would deter mice. Anyway, I figured out that the mice were attracted by the litter, which they were eating. So if you live out in the country or have an older house, I would not recommend sWheat litter only for the reason that it attracted mice when I used it.
the smell of world's best cat litter is literally just corn. I was wary of getting it at first because everyone said it smelled weird but it literally is just what dried corn smells like. I now exclusively use this litter. I mix the larger antitracking orange bag with the finer multicat red bag.
I got a bag of the Arm&Hammer pine pellets and I swear the pellets had little gnats/bug eggs in it bcuz I kept seeing little flying buggers around the litter box. They went away once I switched litters so I’m convinced it’s the pine pellets.
Remember with these natural litters there is a likelihood that those made of wood and corn will attract bugs such as ants. Corn is food for bugs. Ants and other bugs love wood and feces. Your cat or dog might eat the corn as well. If the A&H litter has a strong baking soda smell, that might deter bugs and your pets from eating it. Also on the Feline Pine, I so wanted that to work out for me, with the Tidy Cat Breeze box, but it attracted ants who wanted to make it their personal farm, and one of my two cats refused to use it probably due to the size of the pellets. She is a small cat. Very helpful reviews. I have also seen not great reviews of the natural walnut litter.
I found a colony of flour beetles living inside a new bag of litter, I swapped to unscented fine clay granules instead since they can't eat that. I find that my cats don't like litters which have a scent.
I have never had a problem with pests and natural litters. Try spraying for bugs around your property or around your common areas at least semi-annually, your issue sounds more like an isolated issue possibly related to where your located or maybe your just a filthy person 😂 (light hearted joke)
I have a clean tight house but do occasionally have ants passing through. We tried one of those grass-seed litters, and it REALLY attracted ants. I think that would be true of the corn and cassava litters as well.The walnut one didn't attract bugs, but it didn't absorb moisture or clump very well: small crumbly clumps, so not acceptable. We've tried a bunch of different options, but have returned to a clay one-Arm & Hammer Slide. Overall it's good, but wish it didn't track so much.. Still haven't found an ideal litter.
I've been owned by cats for over 30 years and have tried sooo many different cat litters. During the time of my first cat the first urine-clumping litter (to my knowledge) was introduced. It was Scoop Away; I saw it demonstrated at a cat show and fell in love with it. I used it exclusively until it disappeared from the shelves with many different "clumping litters" appearing. After trying so many, and being disappointed by them, I tried World's Best Cat Litter and stayed with it until I was introduced to the video by the woman who had the idea to combine parts of the Breeze box with a large litter box and used kiln-fired pine pellets. I had two cats at the time - my dainty 15 year old calico and a 14-lb. rescue cat. The new cat had a LOT of urine, based on his size and the calico was using the litter box frequently so their respective boxes got a work out. Also, the larger cat was a digger and slung about half the litter in his box on the floor, plus the tracking. The pine litter system was a God-send. As long as I emptied the urine dust regularly there was no odor, very few litter pellets on the floor, and no tracking. The elder, very thin calico with her little feet jumped into her box, did her business and jumped out so I went in and moved the pellets around so the sawdust would move to the bottom pan. I've since lost my calico. Due to an unforeseen issue, I had to go back to the clumping litters and that's when I tried all the ones recommended online and by friends but finally went back to World's Best Cat Litter. Since my cat makes a lot of urine and the smell was overwhelming as I transferred the clumps to the Litter Genie, I now put a layer of baking soda over the remaining litter after cleaning, then a layer of the litter, and top it off with more baking soda on the top which I gently swirl into the litter with the scooper. That absorbed and eliminated the odor. I now plan to return to the pine litter since I saw the Arm and Hammer sifting system that has larger holes in the sifter and less "moving parts" of the Breeze system. Looking forward to going back to it!!
Wow, thanks for all this insight as well. I am so completely out of the loop, I don’t even know what a sifting contraption is, trying to picture it. Also don’t know what the Breeze thing is. I do have a question for people though, I was reading some reviews about the walnut litter and it sounds like the red dust gets all over the place and stains certain types of surfaces. Does that seem to be peoples’ experience? I have taken in two neighbor cats from the same neighbor who is just not a great cat owner, long story, but one of them is a real champ with the litter box, while the other one is very finicky and chooses to use the floor most the time if he can’t get outside to go. When I have used just straight up sand he likes that and uses it (but it’ll smell really bad in no time at all of course since it doesn’t come) so I’m looking for something natural, thinking he may be more inclined to use that than the clumping clay litters that I have used. I tried newspaper pellets at one point but that was a flop. my husband is so angry about the cats all the time and I just don’t know what to do. He just lost his job, I’m trying to get back to work so we are broke and I don’t want to spend a fortune on all these different litters trying to figure out which one will work. I’m tempted to try that Arm & Hammer just because of the price point.
I’ve been using equine pine pellets, from Tractor Supply (or any store that sells to farmers, etc), for two years. It’s $6 for a 40 lb bag. You could use a regular litter pan (without a bag), or a sifting pan set up (Arm and Hammer makes the most readily available one). Pee turns the pellets into sawdust, which, when you shake the pans, or move the whole pellets around, will fall through the holes to the pan below. Do not use a bag, unless you use one in the bottom pan. Edit: It is now Nov 2022. My cat decided he has delicate paws. So out with the pine pellets ☹️. After much experimenting, I found something we both agree on. PetCo makes SoFresh Grass Seed litter (no scent). It clumps beautifully, hides odors, and smells woodsy! The only negative is, of course, the cost: $18 for a 10 lb bag, which lasts about 15 days.
Genius! I’m going to pick up this weekend from my local Tractor Supply. I’ve never even thought of that. I used to use shavings for my Appaloosas stall - never tried the pellets. Thanks for the tip!!
@@celecha It's the opposite of scooping clumping litter - for pellets that dissolve into sawdust, you scoop up the litter and shake it over a bag to let the soiled litter in the form of sawfust fall through the slots. Then you pour the clean pellets back into the litterbox and dispose of the sawdust. Poop gets scooped like normal. It's much easier to use a sifting litterbox for pellets because you just need to stir the pellets to let all the sawdust fall to the bottom pan and you only need to pour out the sawdust about once a week.
Been using pine pellets from tractor supply far over 10 years and I'm very happy with the results from it I recently started adding a product from TSC called "Sweet PDZ Stall Refresher Odor Eliminator - $12.99 / 25#s". It is excellent to absorb and neutralize ammonia odors. It suggested to sprinkle it at the bottom of a cleaned litter box and then place the litter on top of it. When using it I found it almost completely removes the smell of ammonia from the litter in the litter boxes. I use my litter scooper to remove the solids and then an old large serving spoon to remove the litter that's turned to saw dust that has absorbed a lot of ammonia in it. This method allows me to not have to sift the litter once it's turned into sawdust into another container. Cleaning my litter boxes now take least than 2 minutes each and after removing the solids and litter that's turned into sawdust and is very dark due to heavily absorbed urine i usually sprinkle in about 1 cup of Sweet PDZ into the remaining litter. Adding Sweet PDZ into my litter boxes makes the litter last longer and don't have to completely empty out the litter box as often as I used to.
Your negative comments for the pine litter is because you need a special scooper (wider slots) and a special litter box with holes to let the sawdust fall through. If you have that setup, it's extremely easy to clean, way better than traditional litter. One big problem is can be hard for many cats to get used to it because it's not the feel they're used to. Cats naturally like digging into a soft sandy material and this is the opposite. It's virtually no dust which is far better than any other litter. All those that say low/no dust are lying as they're all dusty.
Thank you. Cats’ sense of smell is forty times as strong as ours. So if a scent bothers you, it’s sure going to bother them. Artificial scents (lavender, lemon), are for us, not our cats.
Great video! I can’t stand clay litter so I’m always up for trying a new natural litter. I’ve used all of these and the only one I didn’t like was the Arm & Hammer Naturals clumping litter because it is very heavily scented. I’ve heard scented litters are bad for cats and there are so many good unscented options out there. Even World’s Best’s scented varieties would be a better choice if you want something scented, as they tend to be so lightly scented you barely notice the scent at all.
Yes cats don’t like scented litter because they can’t smell about 14x better than humans. You ever gone into a public bathroom that smelled of feces and perfume/axe body spray? I imagine that’s whaat it’s like for cats. Some cats can tolerate it, but if you have other options, why push your cat to tolerate it ? “My cAt DoSn’T sEEm tO mINd!”-yeah, I don’t like to use smelly public bathrooms either but when I HAVE to go I HAVE TO GO !
Re: Arm and Hammer Naturals - I don't know if you cook but BAKING SODA HAS NO SMELL!! There must be some added scent to create the "overpowering smell" - but its not the baking soda.( Sodium bicarbonate (better known to the world as baking soda) is a soluble white powder that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It's odorless, non-combustible )
I have a couple comments. The pine pellets I was told you have two mist them slightly with water and after doing that I didn't find too terribly much of a problem cleaning I would move all of the whole pellets to one end of the litter box and then I would scoop out all of the pellets that had turned to powder. So it really wasn't that hard to clean and I like the smell, I also recommend checking out the Equine options because you get a much bigger bag and it's a lot more affordable. Second of my uncle owns pioneer pets who produces the smart cat product. He is constantly working different types and he has several new ones available you might want to check out.
Currently using Worlds best, but because cost and odor (it’s not bad, just okay) I’m going to give naturally fresh walnut! Hoping the quick clumping version works for my boys and their litter robot 4
Wow bummer….your review of the pine litter as you have probably already been informed is way off!!! Pine litter pellets absolutely need to be used with a sifting litter box, the only thing you should have to scoop out are the turds 💩, the urine dissolves into the pellets and turns them into wood dust that will fall through the sifting pan, all you would need is a pan liner to collect the wood dust and toss it weekly or every two weeks depending on how many cats you got or how often they pee. It’s actually probably one of the best litters in your review line up.
I have used 2 bags of the Arm & Hammer naturals. First off baking soda has no smell. I think they have added some type of scent. The scent is horrible. I have to put on a mask to clean the box or add more litter. I can't breathe around I will be returning to the Arm & Hammer clay and baking soda.
wow, I truly appreciate this video. All the time and effort to test so many varieties. Do you have an opinion about ARM & HAMMER Hardball Lightweight Platinum Multi-Cat Easy, No-Mess Scooping, Clumping Cat Litter?
my cats hated this litter i wouldn't recommend it. the scent of the litter is so strong it's overwhelming when i'm standing near it. it's 100x worse for the cats
I can't get mine to do the pellets-- they look at them but will NOT go on them at all. I've ordered some SOFTER wood litter to see if maybe THAT would help.. gotta do something- the clay is killing us. BUT- as I said- my boys will NOT go on the pellets AT ALL.
Mine too! He would pee but not poop. Figures since he needs to be in it for longer. The pellets are sharp, hard and uncomfortable on their soft paws. I placed my palm and could understand why he hated it.
@@emptythoughts3060 I mixed soft wood with it- so it's soft forhim- and he goes to it every time-- but then poops in the clay.. I softened the pellets by sprtizing them with a spray bottle and a little water... maybe in time.
Me and my cat use naturally fresh cat litter. By far the best Ash likes because its soft on his paws its got great odor control (we live in a 650 sqft space) hes only 7 months old right now and i love it because theres really not any dust and you really cannot smell anything it clumps really well and sometimes i forget that the litter box is there
For those litters that you found like Oco cat and I think the smart Pioneer smart cat I think you said it was actually just taking some baking soda and adding it to the litter might help with the smell I mean you could just go get like a $1 or now it's $1.25 at the dollar store of baking soda and just put it in the literate should help with the smell
I have used Smartkat for years. I liked a lot of things about it especially because it’s lightweight, so it’s easy to carry. One of my cat will eat clumps (gross) sometimes, so I didn’t like that. And I also feel like it attracts bugs. I had some moths and they ended up loving the smartkat which leads to major cleaning, so I switched back to Dr elsey’s m. I’m looking into tofu one now. I tried tuft and paw and liked it, but it was very expensive. I want to try Pidan and compare too. I have also tried worlds best a long time ago, but ended up like Smartkat better. I also hated the smell of that litter as well. I also tried Swheat scoop which I didn’t like just as much as world’s best. I think I used it longer than world’s best before I switched to Smartkat though.
I wish you would've shown us how it actually performed cause just seeing you put it into a litterbox isn't showing us how well it clumps. And yeah... pine litter needs a sifting box. Duh. Also stop using liners that's such a waste...
YOU did the pellets WRONG. TAKE the pan and make 1/4" holes and put that on a bigger pan- and it will sift through. THe pellets turn to sawdust and you can compost that later...
Ideally, we should use just dirt, that is the natural way cats eliminate themselves. Unfortunately they will track the remnants onto the floor or carpeting.
Also, the pine product creates urine soaked pulp dust when it dries. It's not safe for you or the cats. Stinks to high heaven too. I used it for a few years, will never use it again.
Pine is the most inexpensive and easy to clean litter, and litter system to I use would be sifting or breeze litter system. There are tons of vedios to make changes in sifting litter box and make it super inexpensive. Also how would anyone add poop to the food deliberately so wheat, walnut and corn or others are not a choice for me
I love Sustainably Yours -- it makes some of the best best/hardest clumps. It does track more than some but I mix it with a another litter that doesn't track much but isn't as good at clumping. I find it gives me the best of both worlds.
We tried World's Best and it is a good cat litter but the odor control is lacking. I would've said good for the garage but then it might attract mice and rats because of the corn. Haven't tried the pine scented or the lavender. It is expensive for $29 at the local pet store for 14 lbs.
With corn or wheat type litters you absolutely have to keep the litter topped off. If the level gets too low, the urine will seep to the bottom of the pan and will eventually accumulate an odor.
Stop reviewing cat litter. Your cat litter set up is wrong so it’s hard to take your review seriously. Cats don’t like liners. It makes it difficult for them to dig. The box is too small. The box needs to be as long as the cat is (from nose to tail).
@@Oliviagg4according to Jackson Galaxy lids on boxes are not idea for a cat to feel secure doing their business, a box with high sides however is def better! We use a high sided XL box we got from the hardware store for $10 since its what the shelter used, and they are perfect!
Feline pine is amazing. You didn’t learn how to scoop it correctly. You’re using a garbage bag in the photo so I strongly disagree with your review. It’s fine w my scoop
We just got a new kitten from the Humane Society and they gave us a little bag of the World's Best ... its awful, it smells like stale tobacco. First time I scooped the box I thought I was cleaning a dirty ashtray.
Lol @ comparing the ease of scooping between nonclumping litter and clumping litter. Nonclumping litter is not designed for pee to be scooped out, of course it'd be difficult to clean it the wrong way. 🤡
ick you don't put plastic at the bottom of a litter box. The cat can scratch it and end up ingesting it. People who do that are the same people who only feed their cat sub par dry kibble - for THEIR convenience alone, not the benefit of the cat. Shame.

Thank you for all this amazing information, very enlightening. Do you find that the walnut-based litter dust gets all over the place and stains certain services?
Ugh….geez this lady’s litter game is terrible!!!! Who puts a liner in a litter pan that your gonna scoop from?!?!? NO!! You just don’t do that!!! Liners are for sifting type litter boxes! Grrr….frustrating watching this!!
Feline pine you have to use with a sifting litter box. Im not sure about the price but I get pine pellets for burning or animals bedding usually 40lbs under $8. Arm and hammer has the perfect sifting litter box.
So Phresh Extreme Clumping Unscented Grass Seed Cat Litter is the best. Tried it on a special deal price. It doesn't break up and smell like the others over time. Pricey though. I usually buy World's Best to save money.
Corn best for environment + way easier to clean/clumps more effectively & pee dries quickly and evenly (reducing amount of wet, sticky clumps of pee that don’t clean easily).
I have been using World's Best for years and love it. Might try Naturally Fresh to give it a try. But if you are scooping your litter boxes every day you really should not have much of an odour problem. Odour builds up when you are not scooping daily.
Have you tried FELINE PINE CLUMPING litter ? ITS OKAY. I GOT IT FROM CHEWY. I DO LIKE OKOCAT, I THINK MY CAT LIKES IT. I THINK THE ARM & HAMMER NATURAL WAS A LITTLE TOO SCENTY. I ALWAYS BUY UNSCENTED.
Baking soda has no smell! The Arm and Hammer must use perfume in the litter to make is scented. I really like the Okocat because it's super absorbent and lasts a long time. It also has a pleasant natural wood smell. They do offer a low tracking version as well.
Pine pellets are great for humans but not so much for cats. Pellets are harsh on soft kitty paws. Do not get it if your cat is picky. Mine shat outside the box a few times even after a clean box. Then I switched the litter and voila, cat was using it again. The pine pellets are sharp, hard. You can try placing your palm on it and feel it.
Thanks for sharing your feedback on these litters. I’ve seen Oko cat but I’m not sure if I ever used it. I’ve tried many over the years & loved tidy cats but then I started getting dr elseys and fresh 4 life so as of lately I’ve been wanting to get more natural litter. Then today I did some research on what is in litters that are not good for cats. The list so far is crystalline silica dust has cancer agents, chemical, preservatives, perfumes, sodium bentonite, phthalate can cause reproductive harm to not only cats but humans too. But I’ll be doing more research as well on the other ingredients & what they do that can harm animals etc so I can educate others about & what they could buy instead. But back then I thought when it says it’s the worlds best litter I thought I might as well give it a try. The smell was overpowering. It smelled like Noxzema. It was gross. Never again! I wrote down naturally fresh. There is other natural litters out there that are biodegradable, but I find it does not come in bigger bigger bags, but if it was does come close it’s not the size I normally get for a good price instead it’s quite expensive but many are very expensive. Again thanks for your review. 🥰🙏🏻♥️
how dare people make or use things from food species to humans as for toilet purposes. This is evil, ugly, and disgusting. Even if it is non edible for any reason.
Seems like a drastic reaction. Would you prefer contributing to all the toxic waste and plastics humans throw away? Which is what you get when you use clay litters.
@@TheFunPop No matter what we should never ever do that. Do you know that is something that actually gives drastic negative effects to our universe. Almighty Creator would not allow this. We should never ever use food even if it is inedible, even if it is the very thick inedible rind of melon. It is a part of food bestowed upon us. Yes, the drastic is what they do. And many bad things to this world came because we mixed the waterways. the dirty toilet water goes together with the kitchen water to the same place. And in return we are sleeping while gathering all the evil that is coming on our society. Those who stay in flats or houses and cannot change this are bound to throw their water in the washbasin where else to throw. Even with the bins. Even if you separate the food in different bins and bags they still are thrown in the same heap. But we should still try what we can. My friend had thrown her childs nappy in the bin where kitchen rubbish was and I told her don't throw nappy with the food and she said to me for the rinds and rubbish that they are not food. She didn't understand. We have no respect to our world and nature. And this one is a great big step ahead of that. Yes may be they will mix and end up in the same place. But actions mean a lot. Trying what you can is important. They saw Lokman Hakim in our modern years in the meaning world and they asked why so much increase in sicknesses and its varieties. He answered that because we mixed the waterways. so think about mixing food scraps knowingly with litter. If we want the future not to be worse, we must stop this. Otherwise the world will be cleansed of those and those who keep quiet about it even though they may not do it themselves. We must stop it. We must wake up our people, our humans.
Wait...what? Half of these aren't "food species" and cats could easily poop and pee on walnuts and corn that have fallen on the ground, in the wild. Get a grip. They even make litter from coconut and soybeans *gasp*
@@anitak1208 that is like an accident and they are animals. We are humans we know right from wrong. And we should not provide and or allow food as litter even if that food is rotten or even if it is a by product of food. Seriously The Creator doesn't like it doesn't allow it and Wants us to respect food.
I believe with the pine, you would need a sifting litter box
There are clumping wood litters.

Yeah she used a bag, you scoop the poop and throw the dust
As a user of pine litter, a sifting box can come with its own cons. Over time, the sifting pan gets clogged and stops doing the job well. So I switched to disposable sifting liners. They're inexpensive and work great.
As for scooping, in lieu of a sifting box or liner, you would do more of a "reverse scoop" where you sift out the clean in tact pellets from the sawdust. This works but it can be time consuming.
My routine is to use a latex-gloved hand to remove the solids first and then sift the sawdust through the liner. It feels ick at first but you eventually get desensitized
@@vaughneudy3003 With the reusable sifting pan, did you ever have anything at the bottom that helped lift it up the sifting the pan where the sawdust falls into the other pan. I didn't know this when I got the pine pellets, but it needs about a couple of inches of clearance for the sawdust to fall down into the other pan otherwise it will get all caked up and icky. Just curious.
The equine pine liter they sell for horses is MUCH cheaper than that "Feline Pine" you're reviewing. It's $5 for a 40 pound bag at Tactor Supply and lasts a long time. You HAVE TO use it with a sifting litter pan, which you did not do in this video which is probably why your experience was not in line with mine. I purchased an Arm & Hammer sifting liter box and added/glued "feet" to the bottom of the sifting box to raise it up. I then use urine pads/puppy pads in the bottom and it will soak up excess urine as the dissolved pine liter falls to cover it. When you use it correctly, the urine will make the pine expand and it falls to the bottom of the tray leaving just solid waste that I scoop into my liter genie. The smell in my home is SOOOOOOOOO much better using this pine. It smells like a saw mill in the liter room and the cats LOVE it.
Buy off brand cheap boxes of baking soda. Add half a box to each box after cleaning it. Or add a little here and there after scooping it out daily. Can add that to any litter of your choice. Gets rid of odors
Great reviews! I’ve used ALL of them… I have 4 cats and there is certainly a learning curve with litter. Worlds Best used to be my solid go-to favorite. However, lately it’s quite dusty. I’m now using almost exclusively Naturally Fresh. It does look like large coffee grounds - but it does the job… all cats use it with no objection.. and the odor control is very good. I do scoop the 3 litter boxes 3 times a day - so odor typically is no issue as I keep the boxes pretty “clean”. I really appreciate your insight … thank you 😊
Do you find that the walnut litters stain things?
@@LindaDulcinea Hi Bella.. no I have no issues with staining… I do keep the litter boxes on a large mat and very little end up on my hardwood floor.
The only thing I don’t love is that it just looks dirty because it’s dark brown… like coffee grounds. But it works great! I’m back to Worlds Best again - when on sale - because they seemed to have corrected the excess dust issue… but it’s about five bucks more than the Naturally Fresh…
@@lizzieb6311 That’s so helpful; thank you!
I'm having this issue with Worlds best as well. My cats are coated with fine corn dust whenever they use the box and they are leaving paw prints all over the house. its like having their paws dipped in corn starch
This research is amazing! Thank you for all the hard work that went into this. Every cat owner must watch this!
I thought she was great showing grain size.
I don't think the pine pellets are meant to be scoope-able, so giving it a low review doesn't seem fair.
Just a comment about sWheat Litter: Our lovely craftsman-style house was built in the 1920s and we usually have to trap a few mice each spring (unless one of our four cats gets them first, which I don't really want to happen). I tried sWheat Litter several years ago. Our litter boxes are in the laundry room which is by the back door. When I used sWheat litter, I started finding mouse droppings around the boxes, which surprised me because you'd think that the smell of cat urine would deter mice. Anyway, I figured out that the mice were attracted by the litter, which they were eating. So if you live out in the country or have an older house, I would not recommend sWheat litter only for the reason that it attracted mice when I used it.
I mix the walnut litter with the grass litter to soften it up a bit. The combination of heavy and light keeps the dust to a minimum.
The walnut litter is soooooo dusty! Good with keeping the smell away but major dust.
the smell of world's best cat litter is literally just corn. I was wary of getting it at first because everyone said it smelled weird but it literally is just what dried corn smells like. I now exclusively use this litter. I mix the larger antitracking orange bag with the finer multicat red bag.
I recommend removing the bag from your litter box, cats don’t like it because it stops them from digging
True. cats naturally bury their waste and their claws get stuck on the bag.
Yes, please do not use liners.
Lol my all cats just do digging on side walls not the litter 🤦♂️
Lol, mine too!
It’d be great if all the companies used non-plastic packaging. For instance maybe the walnut company can make their packaging out of walnut fiber? 🤷🏽
I got a bag of the Arm&Hammer pine pellets and I swear the pellets had little gnats/bug eggs in it bcuz I kept seeing little flying buggers around the litter box. They went away once I switched litters so I’m convinced it’s the pine pellets.
Remember with these natural litters there is a likelihood that those made of wood and corn will attract bugs such as ants. Corn is food for bugs. Ants and other bugs love wood and feces. Your cat or dog might eat the corn as well. If the A&H litter has a strong baking soda smell, that might deter bugs and your pets from eating it. Also on the Feline Pine, I so wanted that to work out for me, with the Tidy Cat Breeze box, but it attracted ants who wanted to make it their personal farm, and one of my two cats refused to use it probably due to the size of the pellets. She is a small cat. Very helpful reviews. I have also seen not great reviews of the natural walnut litter.
Great points what do you use
I found a colony of flour beetles living inside a new bag of litter, I swapped to unscented fine clay granules instead since they can't eat that. I find that my cats don't like litters which have a scent.
Grass made litter
I have never had a problem with pests and natural litters. Try spraying for bugs around your property or around your common areas at least semi-annually, your issue sounds more like an isolated issue possibly related to where your located or maybe your just a filthy person 😂 (light hearted joke)
I have a clean tight house but do occasionally have ants passing through. We tried one of those grass-seed litters, and it REALLY attracted ants. I think that would be true of the corn and cassava litters as well.The walnut one didn't attract bugs, but it didn't absorb moisture or clump very well: small crumbly clumps, so not acceptable. We've tried a bunch of different options, but have returned to a clay one-Arm & Hammer Slide. Overall it's good, but wish it didn't track so much.. Still haven't found an ideal litter.
I've been owned by cats for over 30 years and have tried sooo many different cat litters. During the time of my first cat the first urine-clumping litter (to my knowledge) was introduced. It was Scoop Away; I saw it demonstrated at a cat show and fell in love with it. I used it exclusively until it disappeared from the shelves with many different "clumping litters" appearing. After trying so many, and being disappointed by them, I tried World's Best Cat Litter and stayed with it until I was introduced to the video by the woman who had the idea to combine parts of the Breeze box with a large litter box and used kiln-fired pine pellets.
I had two cats at the time - my dainty 15 year old calico and a 14-lb. rescue cat. The new cat had a LOT of urine, based on his size and the calico was using the litter box frequently so their respective boxes got a work out. Also, the larger cat was a digger and slung about half the litter in his box on the floor, plus the tracking. The pine litter system was a God-send. As long as I emptied the urine dust regularly there was no odor, very few litter pellets on the floor, and no tracking. The elder, very thin calico with her little feet jumped into her box, did her business and jumped out so I went in and moved the pellets around so the sawdust would move to the bottom pan. I've since lost my calico.
Due to an unforeseen issue, I had to go back to the clumping litters and that's when I tried all the ones recommended online and by friends but finally went back to World's Best Cat Litter. Since my cat makes a lot of urine and the smell was overwhelming as I transferred the clumps to the Litter Genie, I now put a layer of baking soda over the remaining litter after cleaning, then a layer of the litter, and top it off with more baking soda on the top which I gently swirl into the litter with the scooper. That absorbed and eliminated the odor.
I now plan to return to the pine litter since I saw the Arm and Hammer sifting system that has larger holes in the sifter and less "moving parts" of the Breeze system. Looking forward to going back to it!!
Wow, thanks for all this insight as well. I am so completely out of the loop, I don’t even know what a sifting contraption is, trying to picture it. Also don’t know what the Breeze thing is. I do have a question for people though, I was reading some reviews about the walnut litter and it sounds like the red dust gets all over the place and stains certain types of surfaces. Does that seem to be peoples’ experience? I have taken in two neighbor cats from the same neighbor who is just not a great cat owner, long story, but one of them is a real champ with the litter box, while the other one is very finicky and chooses to use the floor most the time if he can’t get outside to go. When I have used just straight up sand he likes that and uses it (but it’ll smell really bad in no time at all of course since it doesn’t come) so I’m looking for something natural, thinking he may be more inclined to use that than the clumping clay litters that I have used. I tried newspaper pellets at one point but that was a flop. my husband is so angry about the cats all the time and I just don’t know what to do. He just lost his job, I’m trying to get back to work so we are broke and I don’t want to spend a fortune on all these different litters trying to figure out which one will work. I’m tempted to try that Arm & Hammer just because of the price point.
I’ve been using equine pine pellets, from Tractor Supply (or any store that sells to farmers, etc), for two years. It’s $6 for a 40 lb bag. You could use a regular litter pan (without a bag), or a sifting pan set up (Arm and Hammer makes the most readily available one). Pee turns the pellets into sawdust, which, when you shake the pans, or move the whole pellets around, will fall through the holes to the pan below. Do not use a bag, unless you use one in the bottom pan.
Edit: It is now Nov 2022. My cat decided he has delicate paws. So out with the pine pellets ☹️. After much experimenting, I found something we both agree on. PetCo makes SoFresh Grass Seed litter (no scent). It clumps beautifully, hides odors, and smells woodsy! The only negative is, of course, the cost: $18 for a 10 lb bag, which lasts about 15 days.
Genius! I’m going to pick up this weekend from my local Tractor Supply. I’ve never even thought of that. I used to use shavings for my Appaloosas stall - never tried the pellets. Thanks for the tip!!
How would you use a regular litter pan for pine pellets? :0
@@celecha It's the opposite of scooping clumping litter - for pellets that dissolve into sawdust, you scoop up the litter and shake it over a bag to let the soiled litter in the form of sawfust fall through the slots. Then you pour the clean pellets back into the litterbox and dispose of the sawdust. Poop gets scooped like normal.
It's much easier to use a sifting litterbox for pellets because you just need to stir the pellets to let all the sawdust fall to the bottom pan and you only need to pour out the sawdust about once a week.
I do the same thing and the kitties love it!
Been using pine pellets from tractor supply far over 10 years and I'm very happy with the results from it I recently started adding a product from TSC called "Sweet PDZ Stall Refresher Odor Eliminator - $12.99 / 25#s". It is excellent to absorb and neutralize ammonia odors. It suggested to sprinkle it at the bottom of a cleaned litter box and then place the litter on top of it. When using it I found it almost completely removes the smell of ammonia from the litter in the litter boxes. I use my litter scooper to remove the solids and then an old large serving spoon to remove the litter that's turned to saw dust that has absorbed a lot of ammonia in it. This method allows me to not have to sift the litter once it's turned into sawdust into another container. Cleaning my litter boxes now take least than 2 minutes each and after removing the solids and litter that's turned into sawdust and is very dark due to heavily absorbed urine i usually sprinkle in about 1 cup of Sweet PDZ into the remaining litter. Adding Sweet PDZ into my litter boxes makes the litter last longer and don't have to completely empty out the litter box as often as I used to.
I just recently started using the walnut shell and I agree it smells better and masks orders better than arm and hammer.
Your negative comments for the pine litter is because you need a special scooper (wider slots) and a special litter box with holes to let the sawdust fall through. If you have that setup, it's extremely easy to clean, way better than traditional litter. One big problem is can be hard for many cats to get used to it because it's not the feel they're used to. Cats naturally like digging into a soft sandy material and this is the opposite. It's virtually no dust which is far better than any other litter. All those that say low/no dust are lying as they're all dusty.
Isn't pine toxic to cats?
The cost of cat litter like everything else these days is outrageous.
Love the Smart cat, best litter, clumps, no odor at all with my cat.
Alot of cats won't use litter with a strong fragrance, it bothers their little noses.
Thank you. Cats’ sense of smell is forty times as strong as ours. So if a scent bothers you, it’s sure going to bother them. Artificial scents (lavender, lemon), are for us, not our cats.
@@HeronCoyote1234 Yes. Humans have approx. 50 million scent receptors in our noses, cats have 200 million, Incredibly senstive noses.
Cats have a 40% stronger sense of smell than us humans. We never should use scented litter.
Great video! I can’t stand clay litter so I’m always up for trying a new natural litter. I’ve used all of these and the only one I didn’t like was the Arm & Hammer Naturals clumping litter because it is very heavily scented. I’ve heard scented litters are bad for cats and there are so many good unscented options out there. Even World’s Best’s scented varieties would be a better choice if you want something scented, as they tend to be so lightly scented you barely notice the scent at all.
Yes cats don’t like scented litter because they can’t smell about 14x better than humans. You ever gone into a public bathroom that smelled of feces and perfume/axe body spray? I imagine that’s whaat it’s like for cats. Some cats can tolerate it, but if you have other options, why push your cat to tolerate it ? “My cAt DoSn’T sEEm tO mINd!”-yeah, I don’t like to use smelly public bathrooms either but when I HAVE to go I HAVE TO GO !
Re: Arm and Hammer Naturals - I don't know if you cook but BAKING SODA HAS NO SMELL!! There must be some added scent to create the "overpowering smell" - but its not the baking soda.( Sodium bicarbonate (better known to the world as baking soda) is a soluble white powder that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It's odorless, non-combustible )
My thought too. Baking soda doesn’t have a sent.
It does have an added scent. It isn't really over powering, though. It's similar to the lavender World's Best Cat Litter, but better.
If a person thought the scent was strong -poor cats. Their sense of smell is 3 times more sensitive.
Considering differ3nt weights is less helpful than actual volume.
I have a couple comments. The pine pellets I was told you have two mist them slightly with water and after doing that I didn't find too terribly much of a problem cleaning I would move all of the whole pellets to one end of the litter box and then I would scoop out all of the pellets that had turned to powder. So it really wasn't that hard to clean and I like the smell, I also recommend checking out the Equine options because you get a much bigger bag and it's a lot more affordable. Second of my uncle owns pioneer pets who produces the smart cat product. He is constantly working different types and he has several new ones available you might want to check out.
Have you thought about mixing the walnut and Arm and Hammer to get the best of both?
If you like pine pellets, go to tractor supply store. Equine pelletized stall bedding. 40lbs for $5.
Also, pine pellets need a sifting box.
I agree. It is the best option
There Is NOTHING WRONG WITH REVIEWING CAT LITTER. !!!
Currently using Worlds best, but because cost and odor (it’s not bad, just okay) I’m going to give naturally fresh walnut! Hoping the quick clumping version works for my boys and their litter robot 4
Wow bummer….your review of the pine litter as you have probably already been informed is way off!!! Pine litter pellets absolutely need to be used with a sifting litter box, the only thing you should have to scoop out are the turds 💩, the urine dissolves into the pellets and turns them into wood dust that will fall through the sifting pan, all you would need is a pan liner to collect the wood dust and toss it weekly or every two weeks depending on how many cats you got or how often they pee. It’s actually probably one of the best litters in your review line up.
I have used 2 bags of the Arm & Hammer naturals. First off baking soda has no smell. I think they have added some type of scent. The scent is horrible. I have to put on a mask to clean the box or add more litter. I can't breathe around I will be returning to the Arm & Hammer clay and baking soda.
wow, I truly appreciate this video. All the time and effort to test so many varieties. Do you have an opinion about ARM & HAMMER Hardball Lightweight Platinum Multi-Cat Easy, No-Mess Scooping, Clumping Cat Litter?
my cats hated this litter i wouldn't recommend it. the scent of the litter is so strong it's overwhelming when i'm standing near it. it's 100x worse for the cats
I can't get mine to do the pellets-- they look at them but will NOT go on them at all. I've ordered some SOFTER wood litter to see if maybe THAT would help.. gotta do something- the clay is killing us. BUT- as I said- my boys will NOT go on the pellets AT ALL.
Mine too! He would pee but not poop. Figures since he needs to be in it for longer. The pellets are sharp, hard and uncomfortable on their soft paws. I placed my palm and could understand why he hated it.
@@emptythoughts3060 I mixed soft wood with it- so it's soft forhim- and he goes to it every time-- but then poops in the clay.. I softened the pellets by sprtizing them with a spray bottle and a little water... maybe in time.
@@davidwayne9982 yes I too spritz with water
Me and my cat use naturally fresh cat litter. By far the best Ash likes because its soft on his paws its got great odor control (we live in a 650 sqft space) hes only 7 months old right now and i love it because theres really not any dust and you really cannot smell anything it clumps really well and sometimes i forget that the litter box is there
I used to use worlds best but found it attracted mice and birds ( the outside litter box. the birds would eat it the litter) We don't use it anymore.
For those litters that you found like Oco cat and I think the smart Pioneer smart cat I think you said it was actually just taking some baking soda and adding it to the litter might help with the smell I mean you could just go get like a $1 or now it's $1.25 at the dollar store of baking soda and just put it in the literate should help with the smell
I've been using Smartcat litter for 3 years but after watching your video I wanna try natural fresh litter
My cats love the walnut!
What’s the difference between Naturally Fresh Quick Clumping & the Multi-Cat one? They seem to do the same judging by the product description.
You need a sifting litter box for pine pellets. You are not doing it right!
I think bigger litter pieces are better than the small lighter dusty ones that get everywhere
I have used Smartkat for years. I liked a lot of things about it especially because it’s lightweight, so it’s easy to carry. One of my cat will eat clumps (gross) sometimes, so I didn’t like that. And I also feel like it attracts bugs. I had some moths and they ended up loving the smartkat which leads to major cleaning, so I switched back to Dr elsey’s m. I’m looking into tofu one now. I tried tuft and paw and liked it, but it was very expensive. I want to try Pidan and compare too.
I have also tried worlds best a long time ago, but ended up like Smartkat better. I also hated the smell of that litter as well.
I also tried Swheat scoop which I didn’t like just as much as world’s best. I think I used it longer than world’s best before I switched to Smartkat though.
Nothing about tofu?
I wish you would've shown us how it actually performed cause just seeing you put it into a litterbox isn't showing us how well it clumps. And yeah... pine litter needs a sifting box. Duh. Also stop using liners that's such a waste...
I find liners stop the plastic box for absorbing the smell of urine and makes cleanup easy, needed with seven cats.
Feline Pine used with the tidy cats litter system is the best. Sadly my new cat eats the pellets so I can't use it:(
my cat pulls them out of the box and swats them around like they are toys lol
@@Clarkssman mine too! 😂
It turns to dust....
YOU did the pellets WRONG. TAKE the pan and make 1/4" holes and put that on a bigger pan- and it will sift through. THe pellets turn to sawdust and you can compost that later...
Ideally, we should use just dirt, that is the natural way cats eliminate themselves. Unfortunately they will track the remnants onto the floor or carpeting.
Oko cat original formula is way better than the soft clumping. Practically dustless vs not ok dusty.
Also, the pine product creates urine soaked pulp dust when it dries. It's not safe for you or the cats. Stinks to high heaven too. I used it for a few years, will never use it again.
Pine is the most inexpensive and easy to clean litter, and litter system to I use would be sifting or breeze litter system. There are tons of vedios to make changes in sifting litter box and make it super inexpensive. Also how would anyone add poop to the food deliberately so wheat, walnut and corn or others are not a choice for me
thank you
That was so helpful 🐾and did you try sustainably yours cat litter it looks like Sand 🐾🐾stay safe 😻
I love Sustainably Yours -- it makes some of the best best/hardest clumps. It does track more than some but I mix it with a another litter that doesn't track much but isn't as good at clumping. I find it gives me the best of both worlds.
I love it switch to it when I found about it cats love it and it keeps the smell under control
@@williamdiehl117 which litter do you mix it with? Thanks
We tried World's Best and it is a good cat litter but the odor control is lacking. I would've said good for the garage but then it might attract mice and rats because of the corn. Haven't tried the pine scented or the lavender. It is expensive for $29 at the local pet store for 14 lbs.
With corn or wheat type litters you absolutely have to keep the litter topped off. If the level gets too low, the urine will seep to the bottom of the pan and will eventually accumulate an odor.
What about Pretty litter?
That's not a natural litter. I believe it's silicone based which is a petroleum derivative
I just want to know about TRACKING
You are a God sent
Stop reviewing cat litter. Your cat litter set up is wrong so it’s hard to take your review seriously. Cats don’t like liners. It makes it difficult for them to dig. The box is too small. The box needs to be as long as the cat is (from nose to tail).
Agreed! Not to mention tracking can be cut down a TON by a lid on the box and high walls!
o damn i was just going to buy some litter liners. 😭
She is doing her best. I don't see you on here making reviews for us. I am enjoying this video... Much of the info she is providing is eye opening.
@@Oliviagg4according to Jackson Galaxy lids on boxes are not idea for a cat to feel secure doing their business, a box with high sides however is def better! We use a high sided XL box we got from the hardware store for $10 since its what the shelter used, and they are perfect!
@@PrinceCity007she isnt right
Feline pine is amazing. You didn’t learn how to scoop it correctly. You’re using a garbage bag in the photo so I strongly disagree with your review. It’s fine w my scoop
We just got a new kitten from the Humane Society and they gave us a little bag of the World's Best ... its awful, it smells like stale tobacco. First time I scooped the box I thought I was cleaning a dirty ashtray.
Problem with walnut husk litter is my dumb male cat keeps eating it.
Try grass seed
For that World's Best litter, I like the smell of earthy dirt. 🤣 I'm serious. I really do like it. But not sure if that's the same smell I like.
I WILL NOT BUY ARM & HAMMER NATURAL LITTER. AGAIN. IT HAS A SCENT TO IT
I PREFER UNSCENTED , ITS MUCH FOR MY FUR BABY .
Lol @ comparing the ease of scooping between nonclumping litter and clumping litter. Nonclumping litter is not designed for pee to be scooped out, of course it'd be difficult to clean it the wrong way. 🤡
ick you don't put plastic at the bottom of a litter box. The cat can scratch it and end up ingesting it. People who do that are the same people who only feed their cat sub par dry kibble - for THEIR convenience alone, not the benefit of the cat. Shame.
Is that a bag lining the box??? Oy.
ITS OK, BUT It's Too Strong fragrance !! I had to out to a different litter.
Using the first one wrong
If it wasnt for the Scent , It would be ok.
He’s a big boy lol
whatever happened to real dirt.cats are not stupid.
Thumbs down because you like your little box
Are you affliated with We're asll about cats?
Purina pure nature pine litter is the best litter. They just discontinued it.

I dont use the liner in my cats litter box.
Thank you for all this amazing information, very enlightening. Do you find that the walnut-based litter dust gets all over the place and stains certain services?
I didn't even check to see if it stains! But the dust is awful. Which is why I am here seeking a different litter.
The arm and hammer Naturals is the BEST for odor control!!!
For real! It's also better for the environment. My cat loves it, and no one can tell I have a cat until she meows lol.
Ugh….geez this lady’s litter game is terrible!!!! Who puts a liner in a litter pan that your gonna scoop from?!?!? NO!! You just don’t do that!!! Liners are for sifting type litter boxes! Grrr….frustrating watching this!!
Feline pine you have to use with a sifting litter box. Im not sure about the price but I get pine pellets for burning or animals bedding usually 40lbs under $8. Arm and hammer has the perfect sifting litter box.
So Phresh Extreme Clumping Unscented Grass Seed Cat Litter is the best. Tried it on a special deal price. It doesn't break up and smell like the others over time. Pricey though. I usually buy World's Best to save money.
My CAT AND I LIKE THE OCOCAT AND CLUMPING FELINE PINE.. I WILL NEVER .USE CLAY AGAIN. ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I USED CLAY, I ALSO LIKE GRASS LITTER.
Corn best for environment + way easier to clean/clumps more effectively & pee dries quickly and evenly (reducing amount of wet, sticky clumps of pee that don’t clean easily).
I have been using World's Best for years and love it. Might try Naturally Fresh to give it a try.
But if you are scooping your litter boxes every day you really should not have much of an odour problem. Odour builds up when you are not scooping daily.
Have you tried FELINE PINE CLUMPING litter ? ITS OKAY. I GOT IT FROM CHEWY. I DO LIKE OKOCAT, I THINK MY CAT LIKES IT. I THINK THE ARM & HAMMER NATURAL WAS A LITTLE TOO SCENTY. I ALWAYS BUY UNSCENTED.
Baking soda has no smell! The Arm and Hammer must use perfume in the litter to make is scented. I really like the Okocat because it's super absorbent and lasts a long time. It also has a pleasant natural wood smell. They do offer a low tracking version as well.
Lol I was questioning myself what the "strong baking soda smell" was 😂😂
Cats scent of smell is 4x stronger than humans so scented litters might be too much for some.
That’s true I work for the drug enforcement sniffing out illegal substances especially KET😄
Pine pellets are great for humans but not so much for cats. Pellets are harsh on soft kitty paws. Do not get it if your cat is picky. Mine shat outside the box a few times even after a clean box. Then I switched the litter and voila, cat was using it again.
The pine pellets are sharp, hard. You can try placing your palm on it and feel it.
About Naturally Fresh. I'm getting sick of people saying it clumps well. Pee pools at the bottom of the litter box.
Thanks for sharing your feedback on these litters. I’ve seen Oko cat but I’m not sure if I ever used it. I’ve tried many over the years & loved tidy cats but then I started getting dr elseys and fresh 4 life so as of lately I’ve been wanting to get more natural litter. Then today I did some research on what is in litters that are not good for cats. The list so far is crystalline silica dust has cancer agents, chemical, preservatives, perfumes, sodium bentonite, phthalate can cause reproductive harm to not only cats but humans too.
But I’ll be doing more research as well on the other ingredients & what they do that can harm animals etc so I can educate others about & what they could buy instead. But back then I thought when it says it’s the worlds best litter I thought I might as well give it a try. The smell was overpowering. It smelled like Noxzema. It was gross. Never again! I wrote down naturally fresh.
There is other natural litters out there that are biodegradable, but I find it does not come in bigger bigger bags, but if it was does come close it’s not the size I normally get for a good price instead it’s quite expensive but many are very expensive. Again thanks for your review. 🥰🙏🏻♥️
I love how the video reviews never mention that grain based litters can develop a fungus which is extremely toxic for your cats. Smh
Thank you so much for this comment ❤
👍👍
how dare people make or use things from food species to humans as for toilet purposes. This is evil, ugly, and disgusting. Even if it is non edible for any reason.
Lol
Seems like a drastic reaction. Would you prefer contributing to all the toxic waste and plastics humans throw away? Which is what you get when you use clay litters.
@@TheFunPop No matter what we should never ever do that. Do you know that is something that actually gives drastic negative effects to our universe. Almighty Creator would not allow this. We should never ever use food even if it is inedible, even if it is the very thick inedible rind of melon. It is a part of food bestowed upon us. Yes, the drastic is what they do. And many bad things to this world came because we mixed the waterways. the dirty toilet water goes together with the kitchen water to the same place. And in return we are sleeping while gathering all the evil that is coming on our society. Those who stay in flats or houses and cannot change this are bound to throw their water in the washbasin where else to throw. Even with the bins. Even if you separate the food in different bins and bags they still are thrown in the same heap. But we should still try what we can. My friend had thrown her childs nappy in the bin where kitchen rubbish was and I told her don't throw nappy with the food and she said to me for the rinds and rubbish that they are not food. She didn't understand. We have no respect to our world and nature. And this one is a great big step ahead of that. Yes may be they will mix and end up in the same place. But actions mean a lot. Trying what you can is important. They saw Lokman Hakim in our modern years in the meaning world and they asked why so much increase in sicknesses and its varieties. He answered that because we mixed the waterways. so think about mixing food scraps knowingly with litter. If we want the future not to be worse, we must stop this. Otherwise the world will be cleansed of those and those who keep quiet about it even though they may not do it themselves. We must stop it. We must wake up our people, our humans.
Wait...what? Half of these aren't "food species" and cats could easily poop and pee on walnuts and corn that have fallen on the ground, in the wild. Get a grip. They even make litter from coconut and soybeans *gasp*
@@anitak1208 that is like an accident and they are animals. We are humans we know right from wrong. And we should not provide and or allow food as litter even if that food is rotten or even if it is a by product of food. Seriously The Creator doesn't like it doesn't allow it and Wants us to respect food.
