I had the same experience with the feline Pine. It smells like moldy wood to me. Bought one bag and never again.
I think we may need to make a distinction between rescue households with a lot of cats and a constant parade of fosters coming and going and a household with just a few pet cats. Mine is a rescue household and I have adopters coming too the house so I have to make sure it doesn't stink. I've been using clumping litter for more than 10 years and we've never had a problem. (When I fostered kittens though I used the old fashioned non-clumping clay litter because kittens have been known to try to eat litter.) --- On Fri, 7/8/11, Edna Taylor <taylore...@msn.com> wrote: > From: Edna Taylor <taylore...@msn.com> > Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Clumping litter = > To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > Date: Friday, July 8, 2011, 2:57 PM > > I tried to respond earlier but it bounced back as "too > large" however, I noticed that others have responded with no > problems so I will try again (after deleting most of the > original emails).
