I'm not sure where I first heard that Michelle. It was over a year ago
though, on a big list like this one, a huge debate and websites and papers to
back it up and to debate it. Lots of controversy. Personally, I use CEDAR
litter, the feral cats prefer it, in fact, if I give them clay litter, they use
the bedding and refuse the box. They only go in the box if it's got cedarific
litter in it. For my housecats, I have 4 boxes, two with scoopable clay litters,
one cedarific box, and one box I switch depending on what's on sale. One they
all HATE, invariably though, is the Feline Pine. it's pine wood based, but it's
big hard pellets, they wont use it, period. Cedarific is very soft fine
shavings, more like a coarse sawdust (but it's not dusty). One I really like a
lot, is the Feline Fresh scoopable, it's corn or wood based (I forget which now,
but they sell it at the all natural food store). The cats like it too, but it's
way too expensive for 6 cats.
If I were a cat, I would hands down prefer the cedarific, it's so soft, not
dusty, and isn't full of strong artificial perfumes, yet still smells good. I
think if I could fit, I would curl up in my litterbox and SLEEP on it,
LOL!
I got tons of warnings and people telling me I was nuts for using it, but
so far, NO sick cats, and I've been using it for years now. Still, I was told
pine and cedar (and all evergreen resins) are toxic to cats, so I had to mention
it.
