Can you use Pine Sol to clean litter box?
Do not use Pine Sol to clean litter boxs… Do not expose cats to Pine Sol, Hexol or cleaners that contain ingredients with “phenol.” Thanks for the reminder Lei.

Why does my cat not like pine pellets?
None of mine have ever pooped outside the box, either (well, one time, but it was my fault). It could just be that your cat doesn’t like the texture of the pellets. I just switched back from pellets to fresh step myself. I was using pine pellets for about 2 months.
