As far as I’m concerned, this is the holy grail of cat litters. Other cat owners can probably relate to my decade-long struggle to find the perfect cat litter. Feline Pine Scoop is nontoxic, easy to scoop, flushable, does not make my house smell like cat litter, AND it comes in a recyclable bag! In case all of that is not enough, the company offers a first-time-buyer rebate and other “Pine Perks.” In Charlottesville, I buy this product at Pet Supplies Plus for about $5 per bag.
I’ve done a lot of online research about the best way to dispose of pet waste, and I have not come upon a definitive answer. Leaving waste in the yard - or burying it - leads to pollution of our streams. Waste that is put into a plastic bag and then shipped to a landfill takes forever (literally) to biodegrade. Pet waste composters - sort of like human composting toilets - seem like a potential solution, but they are too expensive for me. For now, I’m choosing to dispose of my pet waste the way I dispose of my own: flush.
