The cat was awry of the litter at first but ultimately used it. After a day or so I use a standard pooper scooper to scoop the poo, I have to shake it a bit more since the pellets dont filter through the scooper as well, so a scooper with large mesh holes is better. Sometimes, little bitty turd crumbs I get with the edge of the scooper. I scoop that into a plastic grocery store bag.

Then it gets tricky. There is a special litter box for feline pine. It's a 2 tier system, the top level has holes, like a mesh hard plastic, the wet sawdust falls through to the bottom and the remaining pellets remain on top. I haven't had time to order it yet but I'm going to.

Currently, I actually take the litter box and dump it into a large wire fruit bowl I got from Bed Bath and Beyond. I considered a collander, like for cooking and straining spaghetti, but it didnt work as well. I put the fruit bowl full of litter in the top of a plastic bag and shake for a minute, the wet sawdust material falls through, the remaining material I put back in the box. It's a bit of a task but not much more than dumping a litter box.

Heres the good part, No Odor! The pine really absorbs the urine smell. The fresh step or hartz I used before smelled like an ammonia factory. The pine really absorbs the urine.

As someone who enjoys woodworking as a hobby, it's like I'm making a piece of furniture or something cool, theres sawdust and everything! Except I'm just creating a clean litter box. It really is much cleaner. No clay dust, no pee/clay cement on the bottom of the box. The only odor is poo, so it does need to be scooped.

The best part is, one 20lb bag of feline pine lasts at least a month. No exageration, at least not with one cat that doesnt poo excessively. It saves a lot of money even though it costs more at first.

I don't understand how to scoop this litter if it falls apart :{ how does it work or how do you use it? I need a better alternative...cool video

special litter box, I use a wire fruit bowl to filter it until I get the box, then hold over a plastic bag. I scoop the poop though, its perfect.

Thats really helpful I have 6 cats ranging in age from 4 years to 3 months and clay litter is such a burden i have been looking for something easier i read the reviews on petco and petsmart website and most of them were positive so i think i'll give it a try. I also read about worlds best cat litter but that one seems pricey for 6 cats...in the end i'll probably get feline pine...thank you very much for your advice much appreciated <3
