No one has mentioned clumping grass litter which is what I use.
SmartCat or Abound (The latter is sold by Kroger stores, and they seem identical to me. Abound is less expensive.)
Pros: clumps well (if you leave the pee clump at least 15 minutes); controls odor; dust-free; lightweight so you don’t strain your back carrying it into the house ; better for the environment
Cons: lots of tracking, especially with long-haired cats; lightweight which freaks the cats out at first
When I first tried SmartCat, I filled one litter box and watched as the cats put their front feet in, only to sink into the litter and back out quickly. They wouldn’t use it. So I started mixing it a bit at a time into the Dr. Elsey’s I had been using. It probably took a month to end up with pure grass litter, but by that time, the cats were used to it. They use it with no problem now.
