My senior kitty, who I posted about not long ago because of his chronic constipation issues, has two boxes available to him. One is clay litter (non clumping only) and pine pellets. I noticed that a couple of times he tried using pine pellets because he must have felt uncomfortable in the other one. But it's rare and I'm wondering if it's because of how hard the pellets are?
I had an idea about how to fix this and wanted to run it by everyone. I took his pine pellet box and added water to it and let the pellets soak and turn into sawdust. There are still plenty of pellets left but it is much softer than before I did this.
Can my cat use soft pine litter that is dampened with water? Or does it have to completely dry first? I'm desperately grasping at straws, trying to help him as much as possible. Btw, he's been known to eat his clay litter from time to time. He's been like that ever since I adopted him over 11 years ago. That's why he's on non-clumping only.
Thank you.
Edit: Since this post I found that the pine sawdust is practically dry. I scooped out as many solid pellets as possible and am hoping he will like this much better. I could use a relatively small amount of pine pellets every day, add water and let it sit until it turns to sawdust. I would have to scrub that box out completely every day but I don't mind.
