Since this horse bedding is made from wood fibers, it’s relatively safe for cats. But keep a couple of things in mind to ensure your cat’s health:
Check if the type of wood pellets contains any harmful additives. You want 100 percent natural wood, preferably pine, cedar, or oak.
Ask if the equine pellets are kiln-dried to remove phenols. Phenols are dangerous for cats since their livers can’t break them down. In large amounts, they can be deadly.
Ensure that the wood is not treated with any chemical additives.

(E: personally, though in the UK, I buy Cat's Best pellets. Probably more expensive than horse pellets, but they come in smaller packages I can manage, and are 100% safe for cats so I don't have to worry)
