Not quite sure where to put this, but I guess it's health related...so...
What brand of cat litter do you all use?

Our indoor cats use Purina Maxx cat scoopable, while my outdoor cats get the cheapest stuff we can find, usually unscented and unscoopable.
My two kittens use truly band Unscented Scoopable with Silica chystals, and I gotta say really does a good job of covering up the oders, but a half-tush job of keeping its clumbingness (?).
The Maxx cat stuff in my opinion doesnt do a good job of covering up oders, but gets a B for clumbyness.

I use a 50/50 mix of Tidy Cats non-clumping and Kitty Crystals. Reason: I prefer unscented -- the Kitty Crystals is unscented, but it's too dusty.

I was using a mix of feline pine and korean litter because it clumped and had no dust but we had a money issue so now it is fresh step for temporary. I do not like all the dust it produces but we don't have good kitty litter here so, I really have no choice for now.

selection here is also very limited most of the time, so we usually buy whatever is in stock; generally arm & hammer or tidy cats. i'd like to use something less dusty, but for now it'll have to do.

Arm & Hammer and/or Tidy Cat clumping products. Depending on what's on sale or what's readily available when I go shopping.

I recently discovered the "Yesterday's News" litter thanks to someone on this board. They sell it at Wal-Mart, probably other places too. It's made up of recycled journal, so I don't feel as bad throwing it away.;P Plus it IS very absorbent ,I don't have a smelly appartement anymore and their is no dust! Wich I was sick of. My cats love it too, so I'll keep purchasing this one.

We used to use Arm and Hammer clumping. It works great on odors but it was too dusty. Now we use Tidy Cats crystals and the cats love it, although it claims to be cheaper because it last longer I don't really find that to be true. It's more expensive but for now we'll use it till we find a better crystal kind. If anyone has in mind a great crystal litter, let me know.

I havent tried many, tried A&H for awhile (coupons), it was OK, but I tried Tidy Cats and I thought it masked the odor much better, plus I like the pourable jug - no stray litter I have to sweep up (lke with A&H).

I want to try yesterday news also.

I've switched back to World's Best Cat Litter for now but I'm patiently waiting for Yesterdays News to be available here.

The litter brands in Europe are different. I use a very fine clumping litter called "Cat&Clean", but Jamie basically doesn't care about the brand as long as it's fine and clumping. Crystal and paper litters are literally completely "kicked out" of his litter box, and he won't use the nonclumping litter for more than a day or two.
