Can you use Feline Pine instead of Tidy Cats Petllets with this system?

We have used only the Tidy Cat Pellets with our cat and I am very pleased with it. Since we are retired, we are able to watch her litter and can clean it frequently. Miss Katie has no problem using the system and even tries to clean around the system if she thinks some of the pellets have fallen on the floor! I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about the Tidy Cat Breeze system.

I don't think so. Because urine makes the Feline Pine pellets dissolve, I don't think the material will pass through to the lower tray of the Breeze system.

You can. We did for a while, you just have to shake it or stir pellets around to get the "sawdust" to drop through to the tray. It overflows very quickly -- would work great if the box had a deep tray to catch the used pieces. We went back to the original pretty soon after, just wasn't worth the mess.

I don't use it anymore because my cat died after 18 yrs. but I also looked for alternatives and I think anything that doesn't drop through the holes would work. I will be looking for an alternative when I get another cat. Love the system, but the pellets are too rough on their paws. I say try it!!

I really don't know if the products interchange. My cat passed away during the summer so I don't use the system anymore.

That is exactly what I have done, started out with all Cat Attract and now just using about 33% of the box with it. Using regular NON_SCENTED litter to mix in. Seems the scented ones confuse the issue. This has been wonderful for us training a feral cat. She has 100% accuracy now :)

I don't think so because cats generally want to cover up their elimination. Plus, their stuff stinks pretty bad, so you definitely want to use cat litter for the benefit of you and the cat.

Equine pine pellets work great for us, and they are $4.99 for a 40lb bag. They absorb urine very well and feces seem to clump and dry out easily for removing. I wouldn't hesitate to try a bag to see if you like it...the money you save could be used to buy "Fluffy" more catnip-laced cat toys :)

You will have to use clumping cat litter. I have used brands Tidy Cat and Fresh Step.

There is a product in Canada called "yesterday's news" which look like little hard sticks made of recycled paper and I think these might work in the Breeze systerm and are probably healthier in case your cat tries to eat the pellets.

Yes you can. It has many options. You can use just litter or newspaper in the base, with or without the grid on top. I use a potty pad on top of the grid , which is securely held in place by a frame that locks it down. One word of caution, do NOT use clumping litter, especially with a puppy. If they eat it, it can clump in their stomach and create a blockage. I've read some people use wood pellets from Home Depot. I am very impressed with this product. My eight week old puppy began using it immediately and has used it consistently ever since. We have him confined in a small hallway when we can't supervise him. He has his bed, litter box, toys, food and water. I love not needing to get up in the night or early morning hours to take him out. He just uses his litter box. I highly recommend it. Good luck!

No, I believe you can use this in any clay or clumping litter. Not sure how it would work in other types such as feline pine or the crystals type. It did not work for my cat.

These are pellet sized and I don't know if it would work, but I've had kittens use it and haven't had any problem.

I was really excited to read that wood pellets sold at the feed store were the same as the Feline Pine I have been using at half the price. I paid $8 something for a 35 lb bag. I'm just getting ready to try it and will comment later. I don't see a difference except in the way the stuff is packaged. Who knew??

You can use the Petsafe simply clean cotinuous - clean litter box we had two of them . We like it I think you will too. Andrea it will help you out it and your cat will like it too.

This litter will track! I find it on the floors and furniture. I would discourage use by a Maine Coon however -- mine has clumps stuck to his feet, and I'm trying to remove them without hurting the boy. Dr Elsey customer service pointed out that they make a litter for long haired cats, but the price is exorbitant! I'm going to go with a non clumping variety, like Feline Pine, and see how that works.

I don't believe so. It is fairly exclusive to Littermaid. We switched to the Omega Paw system a 18 months ago and love it. It uses less litter, doesn't require batteries or electricity, doesn't smell, and makes managing the box a lot easier. WIth one cat, we empty it once a week into 3 combined plastic grocery bags, and take it out to the dumpster. Watch the YouTube video on it, and you won't ever go back to an automated cat box again.

I read that wood pellets (large animal bedding) is essentially the same as pine pellets for small animals, although the pine may be of higher quality and finer grade. I would have tried it for my six cats, but it is not available in my urban market. I would also consider mixing the two as needed to minimize cost. Let us know!

Yes I guess you could, the wooden box is just a holder, the refill comes with a drip tray included. It might be messy when your cat eats it without the box though since the refill container is plastic and light, the wooden box weights it down and keeps the cat from flipping it over.

You can use either clumping or non- clumping. I was very disappointed in the box; it's made cheap. The fasteners came loose and spilled the litter. I stopped using it after a couple of days. As a new cat owner, I have been disappointed in the choice of available litter boxes. None of them do anything. What I hate most is having to get down on my knees to service them. Cats are jumpers so there is no reason a litter box has to be so low. I use clumping litter and have to take a putty knife to scrape it off the sides. I have been so disappointed in the available boxes that I have spent the last three months inventing a Litter Console that takes care of most of the problems we all hate. Mine is 90% finished; you push a few levers, and it does the cleaning. Anyone who hates servicing a dirty litter box will love it. I expect to have to mine finished in the next few weeks. It is not made of plastic and looks like a piece of furniture. If you want to check back with me, I will let you know when it is ready.

I bought a scoop from Feline Pine. I can send it to you as I no longer use the new formula Feline Pine.
