Best Kitty Litter! Easy Cheap Oder Free, All Natural Wood Pellets, Litter Box System! No More Clay! 

agreed. i also wish they offered stainless steel options to be more sustainable and retain less odor and bacteria

It’s not about making it inexpensive and practical it’s about securing a revolving income.

Isn’t that the true!! Tidy Cat has dropped the ball on their system!!

that sounds like a good idea! if you end up doing it please post the video link here for me :)

My cats don’t want that much pine pellets in their box I find that they feel it uncomfortable to step on so I pile the pellets to half the box and leave the other half floor open for them to pee directly through the grate and the will poop ok the pellets. I’ve tried it many ways and I find they take the least amount of time to use it when I put the pellets this way. They used to take a long time to relieve themselves when I used to fill it up w pellets. I have tried changing them back to regular litter and they don’t use the clumping litter when I have it out so they definitely prefer the pellets.

the pellets help block the smell

I found the best is just to add enough to cover the holes. because if you pit too much pellets in they might soak up and turn more then need pellets to saw dust. I generally do it just so its enough I don't see any holes. its been almost 1 year and I am still on the same bag of wood pellets

I just put a little baking soda in the litter box bottom, add few inches of the pellets into the litter box. Scoop cat poo out a couple times a day. When I want to clean and put fresh pellets in I put the used pellets in my flower garden to keep the weeds down. Easy peasy.

@@barbaracarroll9304 I put the shavings in my flower beds too, they work great at holding back the weeds. 😀

I use a breeze litterbox with a slightly larger box on the bottom. So very similar concept

He says what he did at 2:12 min into the video. Trace the bottom of the top box onto the tote lid and cut.

Thank you for your comment, you are able to purchase a whole package from Tidy Cats Cat Litter, Breeze, Litter Box Kit System, 1 Kit. but I decided to make my own mainly for the size and duration between changes. I used the Arm & Hammer 42036 Large Sifting Litter Pan in this video then purchased a rubber made tote container from Walmart and just carved the opening the maintain a head gap space between the bottom of the litter and the pad. just with my one cat I am expecting that since switching to the litter system that bad in the video of wood pellets should last me close to a year. the dog pads cost about $1-2 and I change the bottom ever 2-3 weeks. fold in the four corner and lift the whole pad into the green bin then reline. no mess. hope this help

It depends on the time of year. I noticed in the summer months my cat is a indoor outdoor cat so there isn't much use. but normally 1 per month. the Puppy pad makes for a very fast clean up as I just grab 4 corners and lift it all out and straight into our green been. depending on the size bag of pellets you buy this system might only cost you about $40 per year 2 bags on the wood pellets @$10 each and 2 bags of the Pee Pads

Meijer has the Sterilite 32 Quart Latching Box which looks like it'll work great, for just 10.99

And is it Rubbermaid brand?

Yes, I do suppose a trash bag could also work for this, possibly a clear recycling bag, this way you can drop it into the green bin after. a really great suggestion! the only thing would be would you still need the pee pad to help soak up or would the sawdust be enough. another set it and forget it style would be line with the clear bag and then just place a pee pad in. but now no need to tape to the sides

i find that sometimes the cats clear an area out and the pee just goes straight down not touching any pellets, so that urine would sit there at the bottom tray smelling until sawdust later on got put on top. The pads do help retain the odor as to not waft in the house.

@@diyhandyandy9999 you could use newspaper in the bottom of the trash bag instead of the puppy pad. Puppy pads aren't biodegrable as far as I know.

Thank you for your comment. the top portion is made from a Arm and Hammer Band sifting litter box that I bought off Amazon, so the sifting holes / slats are already installed. also they were not larger then the wood pellets I was using so I didn't have to worry about losing any wood pellets while push the pellets and dust around the tray.

@@diyhandyandy9999 Sorry for my ignorance, reiterating the question of Ileana Santana, how does the sawdust fall into the Rubbermaid container? I also have the Arm and Hammer but the sawdust falls into another bin also from Arm and Hammer. Or maybe you just did not show it in your video that you just transfer the sawdust from the original bin of Arm and Hammer into the Rubbermaid plastic?

@@lester9244 So in my main unit I don't use the solid bin, I only use the bin with the slots. the only time I use the solid bin it to place the main unit on top of so its not resting on the floor while I am changing out the pad

@@diyhandyandy9999 it looks like he cut a whole in the lid to the rubbermaid bin and attached the sifter tray to the top of the lid with maybe hot glue

@@jesslong75 thats the part that confused me, wished he would had explained and showed that part.

I was actually pretty lucky! the transition was very fast, I just switched it and place it in the same spot his litter is normally at, then just picked him up and placed him in his litter box for him to know that this new box is okay for him, and he picked it up right away. Also note that my cat was in the process of getting diagnosed as diabetic so he was visiting his box often, so I also think he noticed he wasn't getting as dirty as he did before when using the traditional litter

@@diyhandyandy9999 As of today, they are about 90% transitioned now. I bought a Vaness sifting box, but unfortunately the sifting pan holes are too big and the pellets fall right through. But there are 2 other pans. So I will drill holes in one of them and use that to sift. I will copy your idea for the other litter box I have, but I will also have to drill holes in the bottom of that one. Thanks for replying. I hope your kitty is coping alright.

I just bought a container that would be slightly bigger then my letterbox. remember you don't want it too big because you want the pee pad underneath to run up the sides, so then when its time to clean you don't have any spill out. I used a extra large dog pee pad

I haven't had any issues with the pine. my cat is doing well with no allergies and like the new style of litter. it nice too because he doesn't track any litter / pellets away from his litter box anymore

My cat is dong much better, He was on Lantus 100 and was able to to go back into remission with some carful monitoring, adjustments, a strict change to his diet and food. This month marks one year insulin free!!!

Wet some of the pine pellets with water and turn into sawdust and pour a layer on top of the solid ones so it feels like regular litter and then add less and less sawdust over time.

My cat has been enjoying his new litter box, I especially have been enjoying the cost saving since this new system cost about $20 per year:). let me know if you have switched to this litter system
