Litter for ckd cat

[sabrinah]

Litter struggles have brought me back to the forum. My cat has ckd and hyperT so she pees a lot. She also always pees in the same spot throughout the day. I used to use pine pellets but sifting it every day with my wrist problems became too much. When I switched to Pretty Litter I loved it at first but it was tracking horribly despite having a top entry litterbox and my cat urinates too much for it. I was lucky if an 8 pound bag would last 3 weeks! It would turn in to a slushy mess and the odor control would be non existent. This isn't acceptable since her box is in my bedroom. Right now I'm using So Phresh crystal litter and I don't love it. It's super dusty and I'm starting to wonder if it's the cause of my eyes becoming more irritated. I have to change it weekly which isn't the end of the world because it's cheaper than Pretty Litter. On the bright side, the tracking is minimal.

I absolutely do not want to go back to clay litter but I'm not sure what to try next. A place I used to work used Worlds Best in some boxes and it wasn't awful but the tracking left a lot to be desired. I also worry that the garbage disposal I call a dog might try to eat it. His reach is limited with the top entry box but he could still get some if he really wanted to. I was thinking of trying Naturally Fresh clumping or Okocat Super soft.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!

One thing that will help with the odor is not having a cover or a top entry so the pee gets stuck on the sides. Besides, having an adult cat its time to watch and observe when they use the litter box especially with medical issues. I use a&h slide. It does slide and minimal tracking though you don't like clay. No odor

Not having a top entry isn't an option with my dog. Its not possible to have a dog proof room for an open litterbox and my cat doesn't wait to use the box until I'm home so I can keep the dog from eating her poop.
