Best biodegradable cat litter
- Biodegradable, flushable
- Very absorbent
- Appropriate for kittens
- Some cats don't like its texture
- Doesn't clump
March 2009. Owners and experts alike praise Feline Pine cat litter for its fresh scent, biodegradability (meaning it can be flushed down the toilet or recycled as mulch) and economy (a 20-pound bag is equivalent in usage to 60 pounds of clumping clay litter). However, some cats don't take to Feline Pine's texture, and this litter doesn't clump on contact with urine. If clumping is important to you, you may want to consider another large-pellet biodegradable litter that gets good reviews, World's Best Cat Litter (*est. $40 for 34 lbs.); however, World's Best is much more expensive.
