EZ-STRAW Just Straw All-Purpose Clean Processed Straw Bale, 1 cu. ft. (Covers 200 sq. ft.)

Great! Gotten specifically for multiple outdoor cat shelters. As someone new to straw usage, I were expecting the long, cylindrical strands that are often depicted in media and cartoons haha. I was not prepared for it to be short, flat, pieces. I thought I made a mistake, at first! It took a day or two, but the cats took a liking to it rather quickly! So this straw is a winner and extremely necessary for colder months. The cats went from sleeping in leaves, a widely cut open tote, and under the porch, to back inside their spacious catio, again, and a non-electric insulated cat-house!! Whew!! I kept the straw bedding loose for most of the sleeping areas, with only one spot on a higher level being stuffed inside a (tightly-woven!!) mesh laundry bag to have a type of “straw beanbag” situation. The kitties love it! I'm so grateful this EZ Straw exists! After tossing ample armfuls into a wide tote, a medium-large wooden chest with open doors, two floors of a triple-tiered catio, and a non-electric insulated house, I've still got about HALF the entire amount of straw remaining in its bag!! Now, that's a deal!! If you're on the fence about it, at least give it a try and see if your loving critters will get accustomed to it, or not! Also do be prepared for stray bits of straw to end up practically any and everywhere haha.
