Soil, Compost & Mulch

compost Feline Pine?

19 years ago

I have recently started using Feline Pine cat litter and noticed on the package that it suggested composting the used litter. I am interested but concerned. There would be no fecal matter, but there would be dried cat urine. Has anyone does this? Is it safe, beneficial, okay?

safe and a useful addition to an existing compost system

It works just fine. The nitrogen in the urine gives a boost to composting the sawdust. Just be aware that if you have local feral cats, they may come by and make their own "additions".
