I am continually amazed at how much pet stores and retailers selling pet supplies charge for basic stuff. Feline Pine is no exception. I switched my multiple cat household to pine pellets, and for the first time EVER, I don't smell cat urine. However, I don't buy Feline Pine. Go to your local feed store and buy the 44 pound equine bedding pellets for about $6-7 per bag. HUGE savings and the same stuff!
