Clumping Feline Pine-Other Litters with Similar Texture

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My two cats love Clumping Feline Pine but I don't. I started them out with the Original Feline Pine pellets, but after declawing, my larger male began pooing outside the box. After a vet check, I decided to try the Clumping Feline Pine because it might be accepted better than non-pine litters. Both my boys took to it immediately but I didn't like it at all because it tracked so much, was easily thrown outside the boxes, and the clumps were moist and often broke apart when scooped.

I then tried Feline Fresh Scoopable which is the same texture as clay litter but made out of Pine. I have three boxes and I filled one with the Clumping Feline Pine and one with the Feline Fresh Scoopable and the last box a mixture of half in half of each. I loved it but only my smaller male will use it, and that is only for #1. When I began phasing out the Clumping Feline Pine, Bulbes would go to the litter box area and yowl. He loves his Clumping Feline Pine so I went back to one full box of the Clumping, the mixture, and the Feline Fresh.

Does anyone have any suggestions for other litter's to try that are better than the Clumping Feline Pine? I like natural litters that are flushable and scoopable. Is there any litter that is similar to Clumping Feline Pine but tracks less, clumps better, but is just as lightweigt? Thanks.

I would try out a box of Swheat Scoop multicat (its extra clumping compared to regular formula).

Its made out of wheat, and has a much more pleasant odor than the corn based litters IMO, although that's obviously subjective.

If I try to roll my quasi-auto litterbox immediately after they go wee, the clumping is poor. However, if I wait five minutes, its a solid mass and does not break apart. The odor absorbing is excellent. The dust is low. The tracking is both poor to good. Its poor in that it seems to get stuck some in their paws when they jump out so I always have some litter right outside the box, but its good in that it doesn't track far at all and there is next to no dust tracked throughout the house by their tail. Its fully biodegradable and flushable.

It is specifically marketed to be healthy for even young kittens and recently declawed cats.
