THE ORIGINAL - The Easiest, Most Inexpensive, Natural Pine Pellet Litter Box System

[@zaneabouzahr2010]

This method saved me 200 dollars a year! We all have to realize that this lady deserves all the credit. Many other people make videos with the same litter system.

[@weloveourkittens]

Thank you. :)

[@necatib9463]

I just wonder that does it absorb the smell?

[@kellyr7829]

To Mr. Tech, it really does eliminate all smells. I have been using wood pellets for years now. Ever since I switched over from regular litter to this type of litter I have had people tell me they can’t believe I even had cats because they never smell anything when they come over. But I always remove the feces and spray right away when they go too so it never stinks up my house. I haven’t used regular litter ever since.

I know this was 6 years ago but I seriously wish I could pay you for making this video! You have saved me so much money and time. The clay litter was driving me crazy 😩😩 it was expensive, dusty, and smelled so bad like ammonia. This system has saved my relationship with my rescue cat. So much easier and better. I used to dread sifting the clay box but I don’t even blink an eye getting the solids out immediately and then just sifting the sawdust through. I don’t have this long dreaded task at night. The cat poop smell isn’t pleasant but once it’s scooped out the smell is gone. You smell nothing afterwards. No ammonia nasty smells. Plus I love that he isn’t having to walk on his poop or pee and then walk on my surfaces. Thank you, thank you! 😌😌😌

[@marycrippen3781]

I’ve been using this method for about 4 years now. I absolutely love it. I’m disabled and it is the easiest, no odor system and I have literally tried them all. I use the plastic bag litter pan liners instead of pee pads, because it is easier for me to get out because I can only use one hand. I also put a litter genie next to it to put the poop into after I scooped it. The price is beyond cheap compared to any other litter. It’s also easier to clean up if your cat knocks some on the floor and it doesn’t track all over the house like other litters. My cat thinks she has to dig to China when covering her poop, and even though she does knock some out, it’s easier to clean. I had to remove the sides of my breeze system because my cat is 14 years old and has trouble stepping over into the box, so it’s a little easier for her to knock some of the pellets out.

[@weloveourkittens]

I am so glad my litter system is working for you and your kitty.

[@uhnari1994]

I watched this video over 6 months ago when I purchased my kitten Willow. This has been the cleanest method. I am an over the road truck driver who got my cat for company because cats are generally cleaner than dogs and I needed a companion. But I was worried about having a smelly gross truck with a litter box. This method has allowed me to comfortably have my cat on my truck and I get asked all the time how I keep my truck so clean and free of odor with a litter box. My truck stays clean and smells lovely and I’m still on the first bag I bought over 6 months ago. It’s cheap and it last. Thanks...!=)

I know this video is way old. However, I came across it as I was searching on the best litter for my cat to see if I should change my litter or not. I must say, after watching a couple of other videos on the best litter that led me to the best natural litter that led me to pine litter videos, that then led me to this video. I wasn't sure at first if I needed to change, b/c I don't really have any issues with my litter at the moment except for how heavy it is, other than that my system is great my kitty is cool. She did, however, got one bladder stone infection about 2 years ago, and although I got her treated and she has been fine since it has caused me to start thinking about alternatives since she is getting a bit older. And I must say, out of all the videos I have watched, this one has convinced me the most to change over. 🤔🙃 Your system seems to be spot on. And since I currently have 3 litter boxes out, even though I have one cat , b/c at one point I was fostering 2 kitties and just didn't feel like breaking down one of the boxes so kept it up. And since I close off the room where 2 of the boxes are along with her food, so she doesn't eat all times of the night. And I keep another in another part of the house that she can get to during the night. So I say all that to say thanks soooo much for this informative video. I will be looking into at least changing one of her boxes and see how it goes. B/c this seems great and very cost effective!😁

I have been using your system for about 2 months now; I am so happy with how well this works. There are so many benefits from using this system. Save money, less mess, clean and easy, safe. I have 3 cats in total, and 2 of those do not cover when using the litter box; which comes as a benefit because I can easily remove and toss their 'business'. The air is cleaner in my bathroom, the floor is cleaner and less strewn with tiny litter, and cleanup is fast and easy! I bought one system to try and have since setup the second, and we are about to setup a third. I can not fully express how grateful I am for your video, you've changed our lives. I set out to find something better after losing 2 cats to cancer, approximately 2 weeks apart from one another. It was heartbreaking to think that their suffering and our loss may have been due to hard clumping litter I had been using for years. Now, I am sharing your video with everyone I know, and calling all my cat servant friends to make the change too. Also, I shouldn't really tout something I can't prove, but I swear to you, the very air is cleaner after changing to the pine pellets.

I’m just starting out but I have my two cats blocked off in my bedroom and bath so if the refuse to use it at least I don’t have to search everywhere for the mess. He also suggested tough love and didn’t try to transition. I think my own mindset was holding me back because I’ve had pellets in the closet for weeks. The encouragement to go for it helped. I’m going to do it, for them and me, and figure they will be okay with it, soon I hope. One of my cats is really particular and hates change but I’m determined to see it through for everyone’s health. Keep trying.

I can’t thank you enough for this video! I’ve tried different litters and systems and I was so frustrated with litter tracking outside the box and constantly sweeping several times a day because I don’t like a mess. I used the newest breeze box with the hinged hood. Everything else was exactly as she suggested in the video. A week before I completely switched I put the new system next to the old one so she could get used to it. Then I added some pine pellets to her old box because they definitely feel different than the old clay litter. I didn’t add new clay litter when I cleaned the old box. When there was only about half the litter left I completely pitched the old one and put the new one in its place. It was stressful at first wondering if she would use it. I feared an accident. But it worked! I’m so impressed by how well it works! Just like you said! I have one of those litter mats that I kept when I used the clay litter. I put it right outside the doorway of the new breeze box. I also used the tiny pee pads that came with it slid it in the opening of the mat, because I was afraid she’d pee outside the box since she’s a bigger cat and the box seems smaller Than the old one. I repurposed the tray that came with it for crafting/ painting with my daughter. I can’t say enough about this!! No mess, no smell, less money spent. It’s a winner! Thank you again!!!

@@MsBiz888 Did your cat get asthma from the pine pellets or the baking soda?

I have spent way too much time researching litter and litter systems. This is best idea ever!!! Going to totally do this asap. Thank you so much. Wish I had found this sooner.

[@greglapointe1311]

As an owner of multiple cats and concerned about their health, I found this video to be so helpful and encouraging! I have one of those Tractor Supply stores nearby and I will be purchasing those equine pellets. Cat litter is expensive and I like the fact that this system is so much more sanitary than a conventional box. Keep the videos coming! Subscribed

[@jayoub1518]

Thank you so much for this video. We have transitioned in just a few days with our 2 young cats. With so many other expenses, this will be a great savings

[@LindaSChastain]

I love this Cat Litter System. I followed your instructions, set up 2 systems that are in my large bathroom. My 14 yr old male cat G-Purrs loves it and my new female kitten Onyx, a black Bombay, used it within one day and both still use it. G-Purrs had been only using piddle pads which I still allow him to use with his declining health. I've been using your Natural Litter Box System for almost a year now so I should have written sooner. Thank-you for your advice and sharing your beautiful Felines with all of us. May our Father the Lord God bless you and your family always. Our Critters love us unconditionally, so they're part of our Family by choice. Sending love and hugs to all.

[@lorivee8121]

I just wanted to pop back on here to thank you again for making this video and for creating this WONDERFUL litter box system for kitties. As you pointed out in your video, it is much less expensive and much healthier than using clay litter or the Breeze system with its original set-up and supplies, so what's not to love?! I must admit that it took awhile for my two kitties to completely transition to your system, and I almost gave up, because one of my kitties has such a hard time dealing with any type of change. But now I am SO GLAD that I stuck with it and gave them some extra time to transition, because this has got to be the world's best litter box solution! You are a genius and it's a shame you can't create your own version of a Breeze box for pine pellet litter and make some money because you truly deserve to!!!

[@weloveourkittens]

Thank you for your sweet comments. God bless you and your kitties.

[@katywuste9054]

Thank you for this, I’m spending a fortune on litter and this is a fantastic solution

[@CinzSays]

Thank you for this detailed video. My 11 yr old cat has developed a "cat pan cough" where she coughs while in the cat pan. Her new vet says her xrays are fine but to switch her litter to pellets and then gave me your KZbin page to watch. I had a lot of questions from how to switch over to pellets to how to set it up but, you answered ALL my questions. Thank you. I'm gonna try this and I know it won't be easy being she is 11 and has always used clumping cat litter. But we are gonna stuck with cuz I never knew (in my 50+ years) that clay litter can cause severe health problems. So again, thank you.

[@weloveourkittens]

[@wahlumgirl]

Susan this Breeze hack with the pine litter has altered my life. Did the set up last week, cats had no problem with the new boxes (bought one with a lid and one without), and I am one ridiculously ecstatic cat Mom. Even my husband feels encouraged about cleaning the cat box and the ease of it all. We had already bought a Litter Genie with the idea of doing some DIY hack alongside and now with these boxes I feel very accomplished, haha! Thank you so much for the video!

[@courtneyschwartz3249]

The Breeze with the cover works ok? I need to keep the dog out. Thanks!

[@toriheckman]

Oh my gosh I’m so excited to try this!! After two years of researching and hearing “opinions” this video has hit all the marks for me. I lost a cat to complications from their litter and never want to go through that again with my two I have now.

[@weloveourkittens]

Glad to hear the video was helpful.

[@deborahhowerton3410]

Thank you for this post! I gave up having indoor cats years ago due to problems with clay litter. This video is wonderful! You solved all my problems. I especially liked the idea of the puppy pads, your box system, and keeping the litter box in the bathroom. The low cost and safety are added bonuses. I am on my way out to adopt 2 kitties right now! Thank You!!😁😸😸😁

[@turksanos7264]

I just want to thank you, I'm a first time cat owner and one of the things I wasn't looking forward to about owning a cat was cleaning the litterbox constantly so it wouldn't smell. But luckily, I found your video before adopting my beautiful girl, and god, it's so great? Like, I only have to scoop once per day in the morning and that's it! It literally only takes 30 seconds ! The best part, there's no strong odor! Only a slight scent of pine when you shake it so the sawdust falls through the grates. Again, thank you so much for sharing your litter system and for the update video!

[@icarus5x5]

Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I have found that disposable incontinence pads are just as good and usually more affordable than puppy pads.

[@ashesbro]

Hello, I've come here to this video intentionally because I wanted to say a few things. First of all thank you so much for sharing this amazing technique. I've been using it for a year now and I now I wouldn't do it any other way! On that note I wish you (or anyone!) could design a litter box that was affordable, with no pull-out tray at the bottom and a good depth between the sifter and the bottom tray. Ive bought countless litter boxes for my spoiled babies and every time I buy one when I get frustrated because they're all basically designed the same way. Who actually wants to dump all of that litter into a strainer and have cat pee sawdust drifting in the air and floor etc. Have they not seen your technique?! Your method beats every other system out there. I don't know why they have to make things so complicated or so expensive. I have all these extra litter box trays because all the litter boxes I buy have two trays and one sifter. Wish I could at least have the option to purchase one sifter separately so I can make two litter boxes out of it instead of just wasting another bottom tray. To anyone who may be seeing this video now adays, try this method it is by far the easiest, the best smelling and cheapest technique I've ever heard of. (except for having to purchase the damn expensive boxes and waste half of the product bc their systems suck lol) Thank you again for sharing this technique with the world! Please spread the word, share this video so that maybe litter box companies can adapt to create a product that actually compliments this system that works so amazingly!

[@terracowles5821]

Some one suggested on a reddit thread to use a bus pan with another busing pan with holes in it.

[@jenniferrice5877]

Very grateful for this information on affordable safety. I plan on implementing this just as soon as I am able. Lugging those heavy tidy cat buckets are murder when your disabled and they don't last that long. Lugging one thing that lasts awhile will save my back and my wallet. So, thanks again. Luv to see your precious fur babies. LOL

[@jakemayer1444]

I have been able, with your wonderful directions, to transfer my adult cat and a new little kitten to use the liter boxes just as you described. Along with the pellets, I added a little regular liter during the transition period. So, now, I have three Breeze boxes using them just the way that you directed! There is no odor except after a poop! I am so very grateful for your suggestion!

[@JustMe-jr4ok]

Jake Mayer woow thats amazing, i am too hoping my 7 yr old will get used to it.

[@beverlycrosby4685]

Wow! I have never seen so many comments on a video EVER! And so many say this is the best system they've ever used, so I am SOLD! Thanks for adding the links to buy everything easily and so you get a monetary credit too. So sad to read your comments on the plagiarism! I hope it will make you feel better that when I typed in "best cat litter set up" into the KZbin search bar, your video came up first! Many, many thanks for your dedication and work! I can't wait to join everyone here and reap ALL of the results and rewards of your years of purrfecting the best, safest, most inexpensive little box system! You just saved me from buying an expensive automatic one! I can't wait to watch your other video on cat food! Thanks again!

[@jessicafarrier606]

I just switched myself and honestly, our kittens prefer it. We left the old litter in one of the rooms until they could get used to the new litter...and they barely used the old one for a few days now so we can officially switch for both our boxes. Its absolutely amazing

[@rokoroo]

Thanks for the great info! I've got 4 cats and even with that many, the cost of conventional litter is astronomical. I will be setting up this method to try it right away! Also, watching your kittens and cats in the background was really sweet!

[@weloveourkittens]

Glad it was helpful!

[@yolojiles169]

First time cat/rescue owner. You are a blessing. Thank you so much for this video. I'm still learning.

[@carolgrubbs7694]

I just want to say THANK YOU!!! so much for educating me on this amazing litter box system. I just stumbled upon your channel one day while searching for "kitten videos" to show my 16 month old granddaughter who absolutely LOVES kitties! (I'm convinced its genetic from me!) I have 4 adult cats and the litter boxes have always been an issue so I was very excited to try your suggestion. I bought two back in November 2018. It took a little while to get my cats adjusted to the pine pellets, but by first adding them to their regular litter a little at a time, they quickly adjusted. I am so very happy with the outcome, not only that it resolved the smelly issue, but also that I have spent only $12 in the last 3 months on 2 bags of pellets. I still have at least 1/2 bag left! I also love the fact that I am able to spread the waste on my yard and farm instead of adding to the local landfill. I am recommending this system to all my friends with cats and giving you a big shout out as well. Thank you so very much!

[@dazeerae]

I have been using this system for a few months. Thank you so much for sharing it! I love that the sifting box avoids the issue of tracking sawdust. I like that pine absorbs cat urine smell so well. I also like the affordable price, & the fact that it’s the least toxic litter system I’ve found. I appreciate you making this video. I have shared your video with people who are having litter box problems.

[@jiggyjiggyable]

I just got a cat. It’s my first ever pet. This method has been beyond helpful. So glad I came across this video. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@dianajenkins9392]

I am using the Breeze Litter Box and truly love it! The Equine Pine Pellets are great! Thank you for the information.

[@zenzibell]

Wow, I've been using pellets (I used the pine pellets before I came across your video), but it was a chore to filter out the sawdust, and I sometimes ended up throwing out a lot of unused pellets, because it was easier. I was also ordering mine from Amazon (the cheapest I could find) at $30-$40, but I did a search for hardwood pellets and found a $40-lb bag for under $6. I set up the system (I also placed the cover of the dome litter box I threw out yesterday, because my cat's only a prude when it's time to use the litter box), and she took to it immediately. I checked it this evening, and I only had to scoop out the solid waste (and thank you for the litter scoop recommendation, as well) and then shake the box to evenly distribute the sawdust. No wasted pellets, and no wet mess inside the litter box. Thank you so much, this is genius!

[@terrymartin3118]

I have 7 adult cats and usually have this many who live in our house! We've been married 50 years and have always had large numbers of cats. This has completely changed my life!!! I love my cats but hate the litter and it's mess and cost! Even with the high cost of the pans I've saved money on litter with your system! Thank you very much for sharing in such a detailed way and My lovely cats thank you too!

[@csd3384]

Terry Martin, how did you transition your adult cats?? I have a very picky adult male. I've tried pellets before and he hated it! He already has litter box issues, he will only go #1 in the box 😂. I really want to do this system, please help!????

You are welcome. Tell your daughter , " Thank you for sharing the video".

[@jessicathompson8231]

I already had the pine litter and had in my head this exact system I figured would work for my kitten, but didn't know what type of already-existing litter box to buy, with a grate that was the right size to keep in the pellets but let the sawdust through the holes. I was imagining having to make one with a homemade grate and at least 2 boxes. I'm sooo glad I found this video, now I know there's an appropriate box out there. The puppy pad catchment is a great idea, too. Thanks so much!

[@abigailKitt]

Same here! I have used the pellets but directly in box. This looks like the perfect solution. Can't wait to try it!

[@godsdaughter2482]

I want to get a cat for companionship. Im all alone. But I did not want the smell in my house or the headache of cat litter! Your video has given me hope and encouraged me that all will be just fine. Now, I just have to find a local shelter! Wish me luck! 💗👍

[@TomTom-fn3es]

😃🙏🏻😇

[@mariem7250]

This is the best most economical time efficient litter box system ever. I've bred persian cats for about 20 years. I've tried Electronic and other types of boxes, but this is the best of all. It keeps the oder down better than anything else I've tried. 😂Thanks for sharing. Breeze boxes are a little pricey but worth every penny. Since you're adding the extra litter pan on the bottom, you won't need the slide out tray that comes with the Breeze box. You can use the tray for serving food or drinks so nothing is wasted. I've used other sifting litter boxes besides the Breeze box that are not as expensive . You can cut pcv plastic pipe material in 4 pieces about 2" high and place them at the 4 corners of the bottom tray underneath the pee pad to you leave space between the pad and the sifting tray.

[@rubyleone3510]

So grateful for your videos. It is by far the best litter box system I have ever used and will never look back after implementing it for the past 3+ years or more. I love it so much that I continually send your video to other cat owners, including two clerks from the Tractor Supply store where I purchased the pellets. They were curious about customers buying pellets for their cat boxes. So Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

Divine Earth Goddess yes! I recently changed over to pine pellets and found this video looking for more efficient litter scooping/cleaning methods Now I have no litter being tracked all over my tiny one bedroom apartment and all I have are some little pellets my messy kitties like to kick out of the box on their way out

Thank you so much for creating this method for healthier cats and humans.

My cat pees in there but still uses her old litter box to poop. What should I do ?

[@KaitlinDarling]

I’ve only been using this for a couple of weeks but I’m LOVING the way my house smells now! Once my cat developed diabetes, regular litters were not retaining the smell like it did before. I tried gel, crystal, and clay litters and they were NASTY! But I had a friend send me this video and I decided to give it a try. I have three cats, so I got two regular and one hooded breeze system (old cat prefers the hood) so it was a little expensive to get it started up. It took them about a week for me to transition them from the old system to a new system, but they use it like champs now! Now I only ever have to buy a cheap bag of pine litter pellets and puppy pads! I haven’t worked out how long it will take to go through my supplies but it will probably be at least two months before I need to buy another bag of pellets ($15) and puppy pads ($20-$30). I’m praying that this system continues to work because this is going to save so much money for us in the long run!! Thank you so much for sharing this information!!! 😊❤

God bless

[@weloveourkittens]

I have people who have called in the last few years inquiring about a new kitten since they just lost theirs to cancer. I always ask what kind of cancer. When they say lung cancer, I always ask what type of litter they have been using. It is always clumping litter and they have used it for years. This just backs up what my own research has shown me. I always recommend researching clumping litter for yourself, that includes all types of litter. Researching will give you a new level of knowledge on the submit.

[@denigrif3]

Plus, cats can end up with bad urinary issues from litters out there and that means...back to the vet! Many of these litters are so toxic and not good for us to be around either!
