Many people don't realize that clay cat litter is poisonous to cats -- the fine dust can lodge in their lungs and digestive system from paw licking and grooming. In contact with moisture, the dust can clog their little bodies and there is a real possibility of them losing their lives. Wood pellets are safer and natural as well as easy to clean and in expensive to use.

Omg this video is all WRONG never ever use lysol, bleach or detergent around an animal like this!!! I was cringing this whole video! Cats do not need 100% clean litterboxes they like to keep their scent within the box to a point. If you can't handle having a litter box that isn't perfectly chemically sanitized 100% of the time then don't have a cat! Your poor cats are constantly being exposed/breathing in harmful toxic fumes!!

You should not use bleach or Lysol around cats. The fumes from both are worse than the dust from clay litter. I use the same solution of 50/50 water and vinegar on the cat box as I do on my guinea pigs' cage. It works the same, if not better, than commercial chemicals.

I use a couple squirts of Dawn dishwashing liquid when I wash the whole box every month, vinegar and water for daily cleaning. Since they use Dawn to clean pelicans after an oil spill, I assume it's probably safe to use to get the germs out of my litter boxes.

I dump it all in a trash can with My kitchen scraps and paper, like junk mail, etc. The garbage can has holes all over it for aeration, and I keep the contents slightly damp.

No, no, no. Use a double litter box intended for pine litter. When the cat urinates, the pine pellets turn to sawdust and fall through holes into the lower container. Dear Sweet mother of Pearl. And like 900 other people have said, stop with the chemicals. I'm not an Eco Warrior, but cats should not be exposed to that stuff.

What I do with my pine pellet litter is keep it in a top entry litter box (have to because of my dogs) and then I scoop poop about every day and then dump all of it into a sifter every few days and clean it then dump the unused plus new pellets back in. Don't necessarily have to have a special litter box for pine pellets

Clean with vinegar and water in a spray bottle don’t use toxic chemicals. Please research online and adjust this video. “Some disinfectants, including quaternary ammonium compounds, phenols, and pine oils, are known to cause severe toxicity if cats are directly exposed to them. The toxicity that can be induced by phenols (e.g. Lysol) and pine oils (e.g. Pine-Sol) is so severe that their use must be avoided in areas where cats are housed.”

This is a month-old comment, but you're right. There's something wrong with this person. I recently switched my cat over to the Tractor Supply Co. pine pellets - we're in the transitional phase between the old problematic clay litter and the new sifting box, with my cat just using pine pellets in her old box without any extra stuff around to cause stress - and the pine pellets actually smell amazingly nice. Even the peed-on sawdust smells nice, like freshly-cut lumber. The last time I dumped the pine litter, I wiped the box out with 2 damp paper towels & ended up with a completely clean box. This video is weird & creepy and seems like borderline animal abuse. If you're thinking about going for the pine pellets litter for your own cats, btw, I wouldn't hesitate. It was my second-best idea ever (after adopting a cat, of course). Good luck, and don't let this idiot deter you!

A 13-1/4" stackable classifier gold prospecting pan with 1/4" mesh on top of a 5 gallon bucket with compost, or trash bag inside works better. I scoop the poop using a Litter Lifter pellet scoop and flush. Then using a dry food scoop, I scoop the pellets into the pan, stir and shake until only pellets remain, pick up the pan, and dump the remaining pellets back into the litter box. As the classifier pan is larger, and has walls, you can sift more pellets, and shake the pan more vigorously.

I agree on the comments regarding the cleaning agents used....however, after watching about a dozen "simple" litter box videos, I find hers the MOST simple and MOST easy and LEAST time consuming. Please tell me how that is a different process from the scoopable litter that we use(d) before finding the pellet style. Living in an apt, I don't have the option to spread the sawdust around the yard so I use plastic bags anyway to toss into the dumpsters. If you're going to make the switch to pellets, rather than buying 3-4 litter pans/storage bins I find her "tip and scoop" into a grocery bag much easier -- and CHEAPER, plus no measuring -- drilling -- pouring -- sifting -- shaking -- finding a yard plant to pour the ammonia waste around (why would you do that, any more than you would spray it into the litter box? It will eventually kill the plants or grass!!!) Both methods (solid waste in plastic bags, and ammonia/bleach on grass and soil) are as destructive to the environment as exposing animals to carcinogins in cleaning agents.

Hardwood pellets are better, because softwood pellets may contain oils that are harmful to the kitten/cat. I don't remember what type of oils specifically, but that should get you on the right track for when you research it more. :)

🎉buy 3 restaurant bins ($5 apiece). Cut the bottom out of one and sew plastic mesh in it’s place using fishing line (using either a drill or soldering iron to make holes). I got the mesh from Home Depot where it is used to separate concrete blocks. They throw it out anyway. (take scissors or a utility knife to cut it). I first did this with 1/4” metal mesh and rivets, but the mesh eventually rusted out. For the plastic mesh I left several support strips on the bottom of the bin as I cut it out. I have only been using this version for a short time so I will see how it Hol’s up..

This is so unsafe for cats!!! Please y’all, never do this. Lysol, bleach, any chemicals shouldn’t go near (and especially in!!!!) your cats bowls, litter box, toys, anything! Plus, pine litter really needs a sifting tray because you’re not getting all the dust out with this method. The youtuber of this video should really take it down as this is DANGEROUS!!

Now once a week a may use bleach in spots but I don't anymore after today bc the kittens can't wait long enough for the scent to air out. So it's back to spot cleaning with baby wipes. Also last I bleached the litter box it was after one months use and was rinsed very well and allowed to dry so no chemicals. I'm still using clay waiting for the delivery of pine litter. Got a mama cat and her 2 babies (6wks). Trying to find a better solution in case they stay here forever. Which mom and little boy will. Gonna try and adopt out the girl after she is spayed. Mom is getting spayed as well.

Great idea but not keen on the chemicals to clean it. Much safer to remove the pellets, clean and dry properly without the stuff coming into contact with the pellets that the cat will smell and possibly cause some harm to their respiratory system.

The first day I felt it was weak at controlling odors, but as the pellets disintegrate it becomes more effective. I'm sticking with it. I started with mixing some litter that my older cat is familiar with, not to go cold turkey on her after all these years. She adapted well.

Video For Cats Please do not replicate her method!!!!! What she's doing is VERY harmful she's claiming she only uses a little bit of lysol along with her bleach/detergent mixture & therefore thinks it's fine for some dilusional reason & slowly causing harm to these poor cats by not doing proper research! I work at a vet and we would NEVER ever use bleach, detergent OR lysol like this! The mixture of these chemicals with urine is VERY toxic. This video is so cringey & angers me so much that people are putting harmful videos out there like this! 😠😠😠 This video is so dangerous and needs to be reported!

You need a sifting box to separate the sawdust and a scoop for the poop. This is not the right way to do this. lol. Get a sifting box, raise it a little the regular box on the bottom and put the sifting box with the grates on the top, you need a little space maybe an in to separate, the two boxes, you can use an inverted ice cube tray. This will leave room for the sawdust to fall as you shake the sifting box, or use a litter scoop to run across the grate, if you don't want to lift the sifter and shake.

Yes that is much better than the dangerous fumes that the bleach emits even before it gets mixed with the ammonia fumes from the used litter which will slowly kill you and the cat. But vinegar or hydrogen peroxide (don't leave the surface wet with peroxide as it is a mild bleach on the skin but fine when dried up) would be cheaper and not harmful to the cat whereas lemon juice has just a touch of limonene which may not be entirely good for the cat.

I don't understand why people don't read the bags on products that they purchase. Wood pellets for pellet stoves have chemicals in them. Everyone wants to be on KZbin so they run right out and copy whatever others are doing without any research on it and make their pets sick or kill them by being cheap. If you're going to have a pet and can't afford to do things right by the animal please don't get animals. Just like when they get old. Nobody wants them anymore. No matter how much they gave you, they get taken to the shelter or dumped on a dirt road. Im not saying everyone is like that but I wish people would stop just taking some strangers word without checking for themselves. The internet is not the best place for factual information. Please check things out before going off and doing something so deadly to your so called beloved pets. Be a cold day in hell before I'm just going to believe something I heard from someone too cheap to buy a good litter or food for their pets. I have spent over 35 years rescuing domestic animals and wildlife from bad situations mostly caused by well meaning humans. I have gotten tax statements from my vet for my expenses. I am not rich. Im just not going to be cheap with a life entrusted to me to care for. Please people don't get pets you can't afford to care for. Idc who you are it just shouldn't be done. Things happen and if you can't afford the vet bill it's on you. I see so many abused, neglected and accidentally poisoned animals it's sickening. I don't run to the vet for everything but if it's out of my range of knowledge I find someone who does know. Im saving for an $8,000 surgery on my dogs knees and its not coming fast enough. She's in pain on meds. Getting pt but I didn't see it coming. A vet exam caught what another vet missed and unfortunately she's suffering from it. It breaks my heart. I can't raise it fast enough.
