The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Feline Pine began in the United States, built on pine wood litter. The brand made cat litter from reclaimed sawmill waste. Pine pellets replaced clay in litter boxes across America. This innovation defined the category and earned loyal followers. Today Feline Pine ranks thirteenth among pet product brands. The litter appears in six thousand six hundred forty-nine tracked brands. It remains the standard for natural, absorbent cat litter everywhere.
