Best cat litter for med-haired cat with asthma?

[CGOmom3]

Hello!
I have 3 cats- Goose, Olivia and Chloe. Goose is a domestic medium-haired cat who has asthma and herpes so he’s sensitive with his respiratory system lol. I’ve always used Worlds Best cat litter, but lately within the last few months I’ve noticed when he pees, it’s not absorbing fast enough (and he isn’t digging or squatting as well as he should) so when he gets out, I always have to wipe his butt because there’s pee on his fur.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good, absorbent litter that is safe for cats with respiratory issues? Thank you!

also, he went to the vet in March for his yearly check up and the vet said everything was good! And he doesn’t seem to be straining or struggling to pee, so I’m thinking it’s just the litter. When I refill the box with the worlds best, he doesn’t get the pee on his butt but after a few days it starts.

When I refill the box with the worlds best, he doesn’t get the pee on his butt but after a few days it starts.

So, after a few days of cleaning and the level of the litter in the box goes down?

Can you trim, or have trimmed, the fur under his tail and along and inside of his upper back legs?

I've found that a combination of Littermaid's walnut or corncob (not corn) litter mixed with a clay litter cuts the dustiness quite a lot.

Any recommended clamping natural litter?

I've been using Fresh Step Unscented (clumping clay) since I adopted my cats 6 months ago, because it was the type used at their froster home. Lately I've been trying to switch to a natural clumping litter because the clay one is so dusty and I'm afraid it's not good for their health. So far...

Litter Maid Corn Litter

I switched from a clumping clay litter to this several months ago. Now I am reading about mold aflatoxins in corn based litters. Is anyone else using corn litter for your cats boxes. Has it caused you or your cats any problems. Have you seen any mold in it.

Best Litter For Cats With Respiratory Issues?

My cat has always been a bit wheezy. I think he has asthma or bad allergies, and I was wondering if there was a certain litter that's better for cats with breathing ailments? Thanks!

I've found that a combination of Littermaid's walnut or corncob (not corn) litter mixed with a clay litter cuts the dustiness quite a lot.

So the level doesn’t go down, but I feel like the litter gets powdery and doesn’t clump or absorb as well or something? When it’s freshly poured it has a completely different texture.
So I can trim them, but I’m honestly not even sure it would help, because I think it’s the absorbency of the litter coupled with the way he poses when he pees. I’m also going to order a larger litter box and see if that makes any difference too!
Okay, thank you so much! When I was searching the threads for recommendations I did see people recommended mixing so I might even try mixing something with the worlds best!
