The scent of cedar greatly reduces the smell of urine, which is a huge relief for many. The cedar wood is not toxic to your cat, but cedar oil is. Essential oils of any kind are toxic to cats and should be avoided at all cost. Good luck with your way with the rodents. Yoy should be the victor in no time by using cedar chips.
