        <p>Hi ,<br />
I&#8217;m new to the forum and don&#8217;t know if this is the proper place to post this . I was wondering how Feline Pine is for asthmatic cats ? Specifically the clumping feline pine . I thought I was doing a good thing by switching but have since read that FP could make feline asthma worse . Can anyone give me some info on this ? <br />
Thanks ,<br />
Paula

        <p>We all know how great feline pine is.&nbsp; The bag also talks of using the used litter as compost.&nbsp; Has anyone done this?&nbsp; Im a little skeptical because of the amonia in the urine.&nbsp; Wouldn&#8217;t that be bad for the plants?

        <p>I just found an item in a catalog that might be of interest to others.&nbsp; The catalog is &#8220;www.spray-n-grow.com&#8221;.&nbsp; Item # ANT.&nbsp; Poison-Free Ant &amp; Roach Killer.&nbsp; It&#8217;s made by Victor (the mouse trap people).&nbsp; I haven&#8217;t tried it yet, and shall have to check with the local feed store to see if he has or can stock it.&nbsp; My preferred method of pest control is lizards and the occasional toad.&nbsp; I keep doors &amp; windows open whenever possible, and try to maintain a wildlife friendly yard, so such guests do often come in.&nbsp; (The year I had two toads in the house there was not a roach to be seen!)&nbsp; But sometimes there&#8217;s not a lizard when &amp; where you need one, nor can you get in to swat, so bug spray is needed.&nbsp; The active ingredient in this product is food-grade mint oil, so it is safe around pets, houseplants, &amp; children.&nbsp; Just thought I&#8217;d share this.

        <p>I was rambling on in another post and decided this was a question better served in another thread. Since we&#8217;re all trying to incorporate more ways of living green into everyday life, AND since we&#8217;re chatting away on a eco-friendly cat litter site, I was wondering if anyone has had any successes with alternatives to traditional cleaning/sanitizing methods. I always use pet-friendly products, but I&#8217;d really like to cut down on the amount of chemicals we seem to need around the house to keep everything clean for our pets and us humans. </p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been most interested in information on steam-cleaning, both as an easily renewable resource as well as for cutting out the vast majority of chemical products. I know there are several different home steam cleaning systems out there, but I can&#8217;t seem to find a decent source of unbiased information on them, and can&#8217;t tell which ones are the real deal and which are just out there trying to take you for a ride. I don&#8217;t mind the investment, but I&#8217;m not up for throwing $$ down the drain. Too much of that going on with the price of gasoline right now. *grrr!*</p>

<p>Anyone have any suggestions/experiences they&#8217;d like to share?

        <p>My kitty Muddy Mud Skipper was diagnosed with heart failure this past fall.&nbsp; I thought I was going to lose him. He has made amazing progress thanks to some great vets and medication.&nbsp; He orginally was on about 4 different medications twice a day.&nbsp; He&#8217;s now down to two and only 1/2 tablets once a day.&nbsp; I&#8217;m hoping he can get off the lasix medication.&nbsp; The poor little guy needs to use the litter box many more times because of this heart medication.&nbsp; I&#8217;m going through bags of litter very quickly and it&#8217;s frustrating to me.&nbsp; I recently purchased a big bag from PetCo on the 31st of January.&nbsp; Well two weeks ago it was gone.&nbsp; So that bag almost lasted me a month!&nbsp;  I leave about an inch in the bottom of the pan and then about an inch on the top - I have to clean out the bottom every other day and of course replenish the top.&nbsp; Any one else have this same challenge?

        <p>Ok everybody . . . you might have seen in my &#8220;hello&#8221; that my new year&#8217;s resolution was to be &#8220;greener&#8221; and I would love to inspire other people to do the same!&nbsp; Here are some quick ideas:</p>

<p>1.&nbsp; Use reusable grocery bags.&nbsp; You can purchase some really cute bags online (just google &#8220;reusable bags&#8221; and you&#8217;ll find some REALLY cool sites) and some grocery stores are selling their own bags.&nbsp; I also know some stores give you a discount for using their brand of reusable bags of 5 cents or so off of your bill.&nbsp; Hey-every little bit helps!&nbsp; Soon you&#8217;d have those bags paid for.&nbsp; We use millions and millions of plastic bags every year, and they are NOT biodegradable, they photodegrade, which means that instead of breaking up into nothing harmful, they just break into smaller and smaller chemical pieces that can harm us.&nbsp; So give up those plastic bags!&nbsp; Soon you&#8217;ll realize how many you were using and be disgusted.</p>

<p>2.&nbsp; Um, recycle?&nbsp; This seems so simple, but it can be a difficult habit to get into.&nbsp; We recycle in my apartment, but we had to cart it all out to a center which was difficult.&nbsp; Now, our apt. complex has recycling bins.&nbsp; Talk to you landlord and see if they would switch to a company that offers recycling.&nbsp; Recycling is the simplest thing we can do to keep the planet clean and not overuse our resources!</p>

<p>Those are my tips for today <img src="http://www.dev.naturesearth.com/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smile" style="border:0;" />&nbsp; Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ll have lots more.&nbsp; This is my new pet project and I hope all of you will adopt it as your own.&nbsp; A cleaner world for us = a cleaner world for our pets and children to grow up in!

        <p>I just wanted to say Happy Earth Day to everyone! Now that there&#8217;s a big focus on green products this month, I&#8217;ve found a lot of new info out just from watching TV! Anyone feel free to post something new they learned about Earth Day or eco-friendly products this year! </p>

<p>(I&#8217;ll have to do mine later, I &#8216;m running late for work!!)

        <p>Hello All,</p>

<p>I have a friend who is using the regular Feline Pine litter. She isn&#8217;t sure if she is using it exactly right - so I figured I would ask all of you for some advice since I don&#8217;t have any experience with it personally.</p>

<p>When are you supposed to remove the pine litter from the litterbox?&nbsp; As it gets used, her cat will end up ripping the pellets to shreds because of the absorption of the urine. How often should she change it out?&nbsp; She scoops the poop and all out daily&#8230;but it&#8217;s really about the shreaded pellets after repeated uses of #1.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for all of your help!<br />
-Cheryl

        <p>I&#8217;ve decided to switch from regular feline pine to their clumping - do people who have done this suggest transitioning with part &amp; part or just making the switch?&nbsp; Any tips greatly appreciated! Thanks
