I've had cats for 35 years and recently started using Feline Pine. It changed my life for the better. I've been thru them all: clay litter, clumping litters, KatGo (saw dust)and Yesterdays News. IMHO, Feline Pine is the best. Is that the brand you are using?

I am using Feline Fresh, which is pine based, and like it very much. I don't have odor problems, except for a very short time when a cat just used the box, particularly if it's a cat that doesn't cover.

Although I had a cat or two when I was a kid, I've gone off them and found they triggered allergies in me. I'm a dog person now, but my wife has often wistfully said she'd like a cat (and I guess eventually our dog would adjust, but currently she will bark at a cat)

Just when I thought I was wavering, I've had to do some jobs in a couple of houses with multiple cats, and multiple litterboxes (I guess because of cold winters and coyotes here? At least I guess you're not inflicting cat cr@p on the neighbours) - including one litterbox right next to a kid's bed.

I have to say the stench was overpowering. Neither were clean houses, and had dogs too, but the litterboxes really wanted to make me hurl. Chances are you get used to it (when we bought our house it took a long time to get rid of residual litterbox smells) but you don't want that to be inflicted on visitors!

Back in the day, chips used to be treated with chlorophyll. You definitely want something active to counteract the smell, rather than just an absorbent product.

I tried it but hated it! To me the smell of wet pine was more offensive than anything.My cat didn't really like it either.Maybe because of the texture difference.I Went back to what I have always used,Tidy Cat for multiple cats even though I only have one cat.LOL

Oh, I think I'd take wet pine smell over unclean, stale kitty litter ANY day!

I don't have an odor problem with the Tidy Cat.keep it scooped daily and change out completely every 2-3 weeks.
