The brand I am using is very easy to clean ! It just makes clumbs , and this is very easy to scoop out !! It's a Belgian brand of course ; but this must be available in the USA too!!

Hi Binky!

I moved this to the health/nutrition forum because it's more a subject for that forum than the lounge!

I can't remember the name of the litter I use...
I have a litter maid so it's some premium clumping litter. I think it's called ever fresh
I'm very happy with it.

Scoopaway - it's really much better then any of the others and I have tried most of them - trust me. The only one I have not tried is the one made from wheat - migth want to give that a shot!

I've tried lots of litter, and with my cats they all track, even feline pine and things like litter pearls!

Scoopaway had good odor control and doesn't seem to track TOO much, I've seen worse. Right now we are using Scoopaway + Cystals which is the best litter I've ever used, but I'm on my last supply of it, after this is gone, that's it.

I've tried sweet scoop it also tracks and doesn't hold in poo smells for any cat I've tried it on.

The 2nd best litter is Papuur, seems average tracking I guess, low on dust, made of paper and it's biodegradable, doesn't stick so hard to the side/bottom of the litter pan either.

Hope you find a good one!

i use exquisicat (i think it is the petsmart store brand.) so far it is the best stuff i've tried for odor control. our cats don't track much, but i'm not sure if it's because of the litter or the cats.

we use Arm & Hammer litter, not too dusty and don't have TOO much problem with tracking.

Myste: That's probably my 3rd fav litter when it comes to odor control. But tracking EEEKKK
It went every where for us.

But my cats seem to be better then average at tracking litter ever where. I've taken care of many cats, fosters and clients and my cats seem to have a field day and try their hardest to get litter everywhere.
Instead of calmly walking out of the box, most the time they make a giant, fast leap, causing litter to go flying everywhere! They storm off and some stuff clings and falls onto the carpet nearly 5 feet away from their COVERED litter box. lol

*sigh*
Their lucky I love them so much.

Well I can never remember the name of my new favorite, but the box is like all kinds of pine branches & there is a cat on the front (cause no other litter has a cat on the front:tounge2: )Any way, it's a scoopable, supposedly flushable, but it did plug my toilet once & I haven't flushed it since, but the center of it is wood & then it is surrounded by clay. Since my kitty has CRF she goes a lot more than she used to & odor control has become a big issue with me. With this suff if I miss a day of scooping it's no big deal because it is so absorbant. Oh & Anglz I do believe my Smokey might give your cats a run for your money on the tracking thing. She too jumps out of the box. At night if I wake up when she's in there I can hear it scatter every where as she exists the litter box. I have tried all kinds of differnt litters & she always, always manages to get it all over the place.

Rang, lol I know that sound! Most the time I have it blocked out and so used to it now, but when I do hear it, I just let out a sigh.

Scoopaway users..

Have you found that it has recently become 'trackable'?
It hardens better than any litter Ive tried and works well at odor control, but I've found since their last redesign that it tracks all over the place. (Including into my bed, so I know I'm not imagining it lol.)

Im now using a brand called Premium Choice, which has been my second favorite.

We use "Worlds Best" It's a bit more expensive then most but it's worth it. It contains no sica and no perfums. It's corn based and can be flushed down the toilet. I have a Bengal with asthma and it works best for him..

Cheers
Mike

Mike, how does Worlds Best do for odor control and tracking? I use Swheat Scoop now, but it tracks a lot with my cats and our male's box gets smelly quick.

*edit* okay, what in the world.... I never posted this.... Momm >.<

It works great for odor control, but it will tract on the floors. It's a small price to pay for my cat's health. It contains no clay at all and the cat's could eat it if they wanted too.

Cheers
Mike

If you guys want pictures of the bag, Ill get the camara

my cats have long tufts of fur between their toes (like the maine coons do)and it is just a litter trap. They track all to way to the bed Too! Im disappointed that scoopaway changed there formula.

Mike, where do you find Worlds Best!

Thanks Mike. Maybe it's about the same as Swheat Scoop, only around my area, W.B. costs more. They are both healthier for cats, as long as they don't have a wheat or corn allergy! Maybe I'll try a bag for comparison.

It's good stuff.. When I empty the litter box I just dump the whole thing down the toilet. It's pretty cool that I don't have to go to the garbage with this and it's 100 percent bio degradable. My cat's love it and if you have a cat with asthma it's almost necessary

Cheers
Mike

Yeah he did.. The problem with clay litters is that it says in the cat for a long time and can cause serious problems with there health. This litter is more money but it's our cats and there worth a LOT to us..

Cheers
Mike
