We have been using the Yesterday's News litter for our kitties, with great success. We have discovered that we can burn the used litter (& feces) in the woodstove - they are basically wood pellets, so we burn them with a hot fire and it's a good way to reduce waste. Now we have to find a way to compost to a high enough temp that we can dispose that way when it's too hot to have a fire. Anyone know a resource for that info?
