    Allergic to cat litter?

    Hi, I have a 12 week old kitten that I got when she was 8 weeks. Shortly after we got her she started sneezing and coughing. So I took her to the vet, and he couldn't find anything wrong. So I'm wondering if it could be the litter and how to determine if it is? I use Tidy Cats clumping litter
