Out of curiosity, what is your opinion of Feline Pine, a commercially
available pet bedding and litter?
Obviously, you are doubting the validity of my statement. My suggestion, to
anyone, is to write a chemist at any of the pellet producers, asking what
the content of the pheno's contained in the pellets after the extrusion
process. Also, contact the CDC.
The answer is: 0%
Unfortunately, your baby was affected by something other than the pheno's in
the processed pellets. That is an absolute. Chemistry tells no false
tales.
Respectfully...
MC
