Years ago I bought Litter Green and really liked how those alfalfa pellets worked as litter and eliminated the cat box odor (all that chlorophyll in the alfalfa was the deodorizer, I think).
Then they stopped making that, and I tried other litters for a while, but wasn't happy with any of those. Finally decided to try using rabbit food pellets, which are little cylinders of alfalfa like the old Litter Green.
It eliminates the odor. It clumps enough that you can tilt the box and remove the clumped litter, which is completely flushable (at least if broken up a bit), and then add some fresh litter. Since it's flushable, I can flush solid waste immediately. It isn't terribly dusty, unless you've just poured a lot of it into a litter pan, when you'll notice some dust. And it's cheap -- less than $15 for a 50-lb bag of the brand I buy, Manna Pro. (Their Gro formula - "feed for the milking doe and her litter." It's 18% protein, higher alfalfa content than some types of rabbit food.) I've occasionally tried other brands, too, but I like Manna Pro best.
I was told by a clerk at the farm supply store where I bought this that they sell a lot of it for cat litter. But I've never met anyone else who used it, so I was wondering if anyone here did.
