Hello cat lovers of the world! My name is Nina and I'm the cat-mom here at Bad Cat Family. By day I work in the field of wildlife conservation and in my years of animal care I have worked with lions, tigers, cheetahs, and, of course, our favorite domestic cat! I use my big cat care savvy to enhance the life of my cats at home.
The cat-dad of the family is Davey. His trade is making delicious beer but by night his specialty is making new cat enrichment.
And most importantly: the cats!
Noah was rescued off the streets of Houston at 4 weeks old during a flood. Hence the name, Noah. He's a black cat that's totally bad but totally a love bug.
And Gurdy. Sweet little Gurd, Gurd-lynn, Gurdy girl, sturdy Gurdy. We adopted her from a shelter in Houston as a companion to Noah. She's small, independent, sturdy, and a sweetheart.

What age is ideal to harness training them?
What kind if harnesses is that ?
Helpful video, but just a friendly FYI, maybe turn down and music volume in the future. It kind of drowns out your voice.
I made the switch 2 months ago. There are definite pitfalls, but no complaints. i used to use clumping kitty litter from a major retailer, and spending 13.00 for 40lbs of kitty litter for 2 cats, adds up.
Started my new cat (first time owning one!) on pine litter after watching a tik tok about it- haven’t dealt with ANY pee smell!!! And BARELY any tracking when he jumps. Those were 2 things i was dreading when I knew I was bringing a cat home, and thankfully I don’t have to deal with pee smell, or stepping on dust everywhere. In my opinion as a new cat owner it makes it soooo easy and tidy.
Thank you!
I read this, found in a comment section under a different video, so I would like to share... "I've read a lot on line from different places that pine is great ~as long as it's been treated especially for a cats used, where they treat it by burning off the toxic oils. I read that we should not use pine made for horse bedding or for wood burners, because they aren't treated and can cause our cats liver damage from the oils inn the wood that are toxic specifically to cats. I had already bought a large bag from tractor supply company. Now that I know, I'm giving these pellets to a friend who has a horse. Liver damage is too final. I hope you'll pass this along on other comment spaces. Here's to a healthy kitty!"

my cat will squeeze his head into my crouch if i even do that
Pine pellet litters are awesome! What is great is that I can flush the pine litter down the toilet!,
Thank you! Do you also give a treat when you take off the harness ?
I am attempting to adopt a cat that needs to be an indoor cat due to his health. I was thinking taking him for walks on a harness might be something i could try. I mentioned it in an indoor cat group and someone was very against the idea and said it would be for me not for the cat. I liked what you said in the video that its for the cat. I absolutely agree. It should absolutely be for your cat and not for you. And i think it is possible to do it successfully but it very much depends on the individual cat. I have a particular bribery/reward treat in mind. I don't have a clicker. Maybe i will click my tongue.
I need to know more lol
im a week in transitioning my cat from clay litter to these pellets. so far she shows no interest but im hoping she changes her mind
Thank you for this beautiful and helpful video. Good luck to everyone! meow!
Hi, is it possible to train 7 month old kittens? I'm finding it very difficult! Also, instead of sitting, my kittens will swipe at my fingers/hand instead of sitting OR they like to stand up on their legs and I find it hard to guide them to sitting down without getting my fingers swiped at?
Very comprehensive review. Thanks!
My cat DID IT THANKSSSSSSS HIS NAME IS COCO BTW
I have two black babyys looks just. Like your
I use it because it doesn't get stuck to the bottom of the litter box which I find annoying. I am sure anyone who used a clay litter will tell you that eventually. Even the alleged non stick clay litters stick. It can put someone at their wits end trying to find a way to solve that problem. The pine litter does turn into dust as it is used but it does not stick so much once hydrated. Also the pine neutralizes odors. There may be a subscription brand for a litter like this but chances are your pet store has it with no pesky subscription. BTW you may have noticed how subscription fees are starting to creep into everything.
Thank You. I have 2 Beautiful Black Cats, Ellie and Theo.
I planted some for the first time and the grass is finally coming up!
Awesome! Your baby is beautiful!
What about odor control, how does your house smell when the cat just did its buisness
Noah is a little different *Noah growls like a lion* 😅
Music is too loud.............
where is the link in the description for the harness ?
Ty my cat will LOVE this.
Use a double pan, with top pan scored with holes to let dissolved pellet bits drop to bottom pan with a good top shake. Scoop poop and carry on with your day. At the end of the week, just remove bottom pan's contents.
The TS equine bedding is GARBAGE as litter. It absorbs very little water compared to the pellets made for cats. It is useless, IMO. Cheap? Yes. Effective? Not in the least.
I am training two kittens to walk outside but its hard to train them both at the same time! They want to go in different directions, One wants to eat all the grass and the others wants to walk further out. Do I take them out one at a time? Any suggestions?
When i take my cat out he thinks he's a bunny and starts chomping down on grass
Can you PLEASE tell me the brand and model? I can't seem to find a lightweight harness that does not involve putting the cats head through a loop first, rather than the step-in method. Thank you!
Swheat Scoop is my favorite cat litter. However it is expensive. I'm trying the pellets soon. Thank you!
How deep do you all typically go? I've heard 1", but that seems super shallow.
My biggest concern, having two long haired cats, is that the poo doesn't cover well with this method and they will have poo stuck to their backend/fur trying to navigate around the box before we sift it. Has anyone using this method found this to be a huge issue?
I'll be adopting a cat next week. I've not had a cat in about 40 years, so I'm refreshing myself on everything that I need. The rescue says that they currently used the clumping clay litter. My coworker who adopted through the same rescue mentioned that she uses the pine pellets, so I'm doing my due diligence and finding out about it. I will start out the new baby on the clay but will try to switch him to the pellets.
I'm in the uk I preferbthat one as I have dexterity problems and can't do lots of clips. Where can I purchase this bone ty❤
I used it for a large older black fluffly cat with huge paws that had no problem with the pellets and took to it immediately. My experience with Tractor Supply Pine Pellets is the easiest, most biodegradable, least odorific thing I have ever used for cat litter and I don't scoop the pee, just the turds, but I used dolomitic lime in litter: it mostly sinks to the bottom of the pan. Tractor Supply also sells Barnlime for cheap and some pelleted Lawn lime which has no dust at least. For your garden you might want to buy a garden grade of dolomitic lime or oyster shell lime. I dump the used litter on my roses for mulch. Good on the landscaping. The pine pellets EXPAND a lot, so don't overfill the litter box. I find you don't need the sifting litter box, just the dolomitic lime and leave the pee until you notice an odor and then scoop off the good pellets on top and dump the soggy bottom. Easypeasy.
Do you have a new code for 2024? I definitely want you to get affiliate credit because this video sold it for me.
This is the one that got my cat to lay down!! Thank you 💕
Pine litter 🤦🏼♂️😖😡 really my cat almost died because of the litter 🤬 some cats are allergic to that crap … get smart little it’s made of grass! Please do you own research
my cat keeps crawling with her vest on, im trying to see if she can slip out before going outside. also giving her time to get used to the harness.
But you’re never telling your cat a command to Lie Down..
Many words without saying a thing ……
We're just learning to walk our cat. But I have a problem with the cat litter. I can't stand the smell. I complete wash the box 4 times a day. Any advice on cat litter? Thank you P. Davenport
We just switched to spruce pellets litter. This is the same pellets that you would use In a pellet stove. 7 bucks for 40 lbs (Canadian). We switched our cats 'cold turkey' and they seem to have adopted it ok. We also use a sifting litter box which is MUCH easier than using a handheld sifter.
cat shit
We have been using method for over 3 years. We put craft paper in the lower pan under the sifter and put baking soda onto the paper. We remove the paper with urine soaked saw dust once a week. I find it smells if we don't do this and it is very easy to clean up and maintain.
