Pine cat litter came from the waste from pinewood lumbers. Although this material has an excellent absorbent property, it tends to become damp too soon, not to mention the allergies it may trigger/exacerbate due to the fibrous dust it produces. Pine litters are more natural and environment-friendly, but they must be changed more frequently (every 1-2 days). You also need to replace the entire litter every week, not to mention that it’s as bulky/heavy as clay litters when filled with urine.
Paper litters share many similarities with pines. They’re made of recycled products and contain cellulose— the wood pulp’s primary fiber. The paper litter can’t control odors well; it tends to be uncomfortable for cats when it becomes soggy and soft. Litter replacements should be done after a few days, and although the paper litter can be rinsed easily while wet, leaving it to dry in the box can make it challenging to remove.
