What is the pine cat litter safe for cats cats are susceptible to pine oil? Cats are particularly sensitive to pine oils because they lack an effective enzyme in the liver to detoxify them. Why do manufacturers use cat litter pine in this case?
In most cases, the treatment processes such as Feline Pine products pass (such as drying) to remove most of the natural oils. It's the same reason they are safe for use in litter boxes and rabbit (same question, pine dust and oil can be toxic to rabbits).
