Feline Pine Original Non-Clumping Pine Cat Litter, 7 lb

Feline Pine Original is a non-clumping cat litter made of pine pellets. The pellets soak up urine and break down into sawdust, which you sift out over time. This is the 7 lb bag.

Who it suits

Owners who want a natural, light, low-dust litter with no added fragrance, and who do not mind sifting instead of scooping clumps. It pairs well with a sifting litter box.
