I do some woodworking at home. Anyone use wood shavings (not sawdust) for kitty litter? Any issues with doing this?
I took apart a wood pallet and ran it through my thickness planer. I ended up with 2 garbage bags full of wood shavings (like you’d find for guinea pig cages). The pallet was stamped “HT” which I think means Heat Treated. Apparently this makes the wood safe for pets because the heat treatment gets rid of the phenols in pine.
At $12 a bucket for kitty litter, running a couple of pallet boards through the planer to make another bag of wood shavings for kitty litter is money in the bank. I’ve got enough pallet boards to probably yield at least a year of kitty litter.
Hey, c’mon, times are tough… Every cent counts.
