I found this recipe on another site, sorry can't remember where! This 'recipe' is a clone for 'Yesterday's News' cat litter. I first tried it because I got tired of lugging 20 lb bags of Feline Pine home and paying $$ for something that was going to be thrown away. I like to be as […]

It works very well but I’ve since read that the paper bag could catch fire, so it’s not recommended. Just a hint. I bought a popcorn microwaveable bowl with […]
