I'm looking for a litter that does NOT absorb moisture well and that does NOT clump well.
Why you ask? Well, one of my kitties is FLUTD prone and so I try to check her urine pH regularly. But its difficult to get a sample from her. She is litter box shy. That is if I try to follow her to the box, she won't use it. I can isolate her in a room with a box until she uses it but she won't use any of the usual nonabsobant litters or litter substitutes.
I finally rigged up a box that I can use a traditional litter with and still get a sample from. But, I have to use a litter that the urine will mostly just fall through without getting absorbed. While I was experimenting with chicken crumbles as litter I discovered that a particular brand of crumbles fits the bill perfectly for my urine collection box. But, I can only get those crumbles in 50 lb bags. That's OK, but I would rather not have to store that much and am concerned it might get mildewy over time.
So, can someone suggest what is basically a poorly performing litter. One that doesn't absorb or clump very well?
