1) it’s made here in the Midwest, out of wheat grown in the Midwest

2) we can stockpile bags in our garage right now and they will freeze and kill off Asian Meal Moth eggs (well, not today, it’s up above 20 degrees. But we’ll have a few weeks of below zero soon.)

3) we have composted it in the past and may be able to find a place to compost it this summer again, because we have a big yard and friends who farm with animals.

We're using Swheat (sp?) Scoop litter right now and get it at Target in a recyclable cardboard box container. I like it *but* it flies everywhere. Tried the Feline Pine Scoop (it smells nice and pine-y) but it messes up the auto-litterbox (yeah, not getting rid of this until it dies...silly, energy-wasting, plastic-filled device that came with our cat). Please post your litterbox filler finds if you can; I'm always looking for the trifecta of poop products (cat healthy, planet loving, non-stinky). Really loving the cat pictures!

They are super cute! :) I've never been a cat owner so I'm not claiming to be an expert by any means but one of my friends used dirt for her litter box. Yep, just plain old dirt... Granted, they lived on a farm so this may or may not be a practical suggestion for a city dweller. :) Plus even dirt comes in plastic bags nowdays. Congratulations on the new kittens!
