We use Scoop Away with crystals. We've tried just about every brand out there and like this one the best. We also use the Tidy Cats or Arm & Hammer deodorizers to help keep the ammonia smell away.

I don't know what I did w/o this stuff. I love the piney smell and the fact that there's no silica dust to worry about getting into their (or our) lungs.

our kitty has issues with walking. neurological issues.

we found that he was urinating on the floor in the last house. we tackled the problem with various chemicals before we left. since he has problems walking, we decided not to keep the litter in the basement only - but have 1 box for him upstairs - he is handicap afterall. Well I hate having litter in my living space but what can we do? So we bought the crystals kind and we mixed it with scoopable at first. Now he pees in just the crystals. it doesn't track too much and it's unscented. it really doesn't smell bad and it's in our mudroom right off of the kitchen! UGH.

tell me more about feline pine, what is it?

YES! I didn't know that...and it's ICKY! I am dying here! When the air sprays don't work...ugh!

I am wondering since they are kitties if they won't mind the change to the Pine kind...they didn't mind the a switch from three litters in two days.

I didn't realize I should have done it gradually.

Other issue I HATE, HATE, HATE...TRACKING! The little mats haven't worked in the past...I might try a berber rug sample or something...I hate litter tracked all over the house and this darn clay stuff is worse than anything...maybe because I can see the green things on my beige carpet.

I like the Fresh Step scoopable, but it tracks something awful.

YOu probably don't have a Trader Joe's close by, but they carry their own brand of it.
