I've read a lot on line from different places that pine is great ~as long as it's been treated especially for a cats used, where they treat it by burning off the toxic oils. I read that we should not use pine made for horse bedding or for wood burners, because they aren't treated and can cause our cats liver damage from the oils inn the wood that are toxic specifically to cats.
I had already bought a large bag from tractor supply company. Now that I know, I'm giving these pellets to a friend who has a horse. Liver damage is too final.
I hope you'll pass this along on other comment spaces. Here's to a healthy kitty!
Yes, thank you! 🙏🏾😁It is crucial to use non-toxic pellets for the kitties!
As long as they are kiln-dried, they're fine. Wouldn't use the stove ones though.
Mrs. MacGyver, you are soooo talented
😆😆Thank you so much!!🥰
Brilliant idea with the rake…I NEVER would have come up with that…GENIUS!
Thank youuuuu!!!
Hello @Getter Better Excellent idea, very creative. Love your sense of humor too! Thanks for taking the time to make the video. This was my first video of yours, so I will be checking out some more of your content. 😺
“It’s just gonna get pooped on anyway.”
hahaha
We strive for 'good enough to poop on' standards here.😂
I love your ingenuity! I transitioned my senior cat to pellets and he's not thrilled, but he is 15 and not thrilled with most things. I completely change the pellets every ten days or so, and he spends about 15 minutes examining the new litter, artfully arranging it and flicking a half dozen pieces of the pellets onto the floor. Just to remind me of who is in charge...like I need reminding.
Thank you so much Andrea!! Ah yes, they certainly like to drop their "subtle" reminders every now and then.😂
Burning rake, love it!
😂Thank you Sarah!!🤗❤
Great idea, thanks for sharing 👍Just one thougt, it is important to make sure that there are no sharp edges around holes on the inner side. When cats scratches the bottom to bury their feces (mine do that very vigorously) they may hurt their paws.
Very good point, the melting process leaves more of a rounded edge on the holes whereas the drilling method seemed to leave sharper edges. Thanks so much for watching!🤗
Here I was thinking... misspoke & said less Safe way ... NOPE 🤣
YOU MEANT LESS SAFE WAY😂
You are HILARIOUS K💯
✊🏽🍀✌🏽❤🙏

Thank you Funzee!!🤗❤
i do this sifting thing outside with a sifting litter tray i found at petsmart...but its such a PITA especially with 2 cats. im searching for a better way soon...
☺️
🤗❤
Sounds great, but I'm not brave enough to try this. I'm clumsy as heck, and I know I'd injure myself. But good for you that you've figured this out for yourself!
Bwaahaahahaaaa that's badass!
Honestly genius. The drilled holes never worked well and I've been trying to figure out a better way! Lol
Thanks so much Andrea!!😁
My friend has tried the pellets but didn't like the mess that it made when stored. Curious, where do you store yours in the van?
The litter box is right at the back of the van, underneath my bed....sounds weird but in a van that tiny it's pretty much gotta be under it or directly beside it. 😂 I keep the extra pellets in an old pet food bag to keep them dry and contained.
Hi Getter Better
Hiiii Alan!!👋😆❤
Using a hot rake looks a bit dangerous to me. A lot easier is to use a soldering iron to poke holes in the plastic box bottoms. Just use this same soldering iron to make holes in plastic flower pots, etc only as some plastic might stick to the tip as it cools down.
Yes, I did say it was a less safe option.😬 I had attempted this with a soldering iron, but it maybe didn't get hot enough to efficiently burn the holes.
Hey I was thinking 💨💨😜 (watch one of my yoga trapeze videos to understand what I’m talking about with the straps/handles )it’s just like resistance training 😉but ….
Why don’t u make shift a few different sized straps with handles that u can put in a tree or ur tropical (winter room) n I can totally show u crazy workouts as if it was a trapeze yoga swing . Because that kind of work out u get from that bad ass n feels great . Let me know ur thoughts 😜
Best time for ideas!👌🏽😎 Ooh, I will definitely check that out, those look like they'd be a lot of fun and great for stretching! Thank you!!!🤗❤

🍻🤘🏽😆🤗❤🐱🐱🐶
Weird
Yes!🤘🏽😎
Our fur baby hates all litter but clay ... fussy brat lol
Hahaha, that's fair too! Ultimately, we just have to do what they want so they let us live with them.😂
