My cat has cat asthma, and was on medicine for some time - inhalers. I don't know why I thought to change litters, but I did, and I ended up using pine pellets. This 100% reduced any symptoms. She literally had no asthma attacks. 3-4 years later and another cat, I actually ended up switching back to clumping litter, but I was god awfully worried about if my cat would get her asthma triggered.
I read that grass litter is a clumping hypoallergenic litter, so I was keen on trying it. She's been on grass litter for awhile now, and I think it's working wonderfully for me and her. I do have some questions though:
1) Are there hypoallergenic litters that just perform straight up better at a lower cost? Lower dust, lower tracking, better smell control, better clumping? tradditional litter is like 10$/20lb, and I pay 30$/20 lb for this grass litter
2) Are there hypoallergenic litters that work with a litter robot? I was looking at maybe getting one, but I read that grass litters don't work well because theyre so light?
3) Are asthmatic cats triggered by the type of material, type of dust or what? I'm not sure if its a dust issue or if its the clay vs pine vs grass material, etc.
I was thinking about getting a litter robot and I was genuinely wondering if there was a litter that was hypoallergenic that works with it and equally might be a little bit more $ friendly. If not, I have no intentions of taking my cats off of it. Clumps well enough, has enough odor control...it's a win, I just want to see if theres better winners!
