So far I haven't found anything that clumps that hard. Though I do have to say Tidy cat does as good a job as can be found. Or at least that has been my experience. It still leaves behind a little urine waste though. I will be watching this thread to see if any one else comes up with a better litter.
Well, after trial and error, I'm going to try World's best as my last resort, but if that doesn't work, I am going back to Everclean, athsma or not. I simply cannot find another unscented litter that does the job I need for 7 cats. Everclean is really dusty but the others don't cut odor or clump worth a poop. No pun intended.

I think Fresh Step (regular clumpy clay kind) clumps pretty hard. That is, if it is at least five minutes old, and also not stuck to the edges or bottom of the box, a downfall for any litter. I never have a problem with it falling apart when scooping, or leaving any behind.
... clumps pretty hard. I actually mixed in some borax with it (some cats can be sensitive) recently and when cleaning it the other day, there was a clump the size of two baseballs that came out in one big piece...
How weird to be critiquing cat pee!

I used to think arm & Hammer was great but I've changed my mind after using it a lot lately- crumbles everywhere! It is good on the smell factor. I like fresh step and tidy cats. Fresh step is a bit better on smell than tidy cats and clumps well, but it is extremely dusty, and the fragrance is kinda yucky.
I use multi cat tidy cat
I got a litter maid, and tried swheat scoop in it. That was a mistake, the pee never hardens. It just stays gummy, and so it gets caught in the tines. I was going to try WBCL, but some one on here told me it is just like swheat scoop, in that it stays gummy. So I went back to tidy cat multi cat, it worked well before. I just wanted something I could toss in the toilet. Thought it would be faster clean up that way. But my toilet keeps backing up, so I had to just dump it in the garbage any ways. So Tidy cat was just as good, or rather I think better then Swheat scoop. I'm just glad my husband let me get the litter maid, it should help with clean up.
I even had a stuffed up toilet when I used the flushable kind. I doubt toilets really like that stuff.
I've tried many brands & my favorite is Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Ultra in the blue bag. I but it at Petsmart. It clumps really hard, it's nearly dust free, controls odors well & it's unscented. Maxie has allergies & I has sneeze attacks & a runny eye with scented litters or those perfumey litter additives.
I also love Dr Elsey's precious cat ultra (blue bag).
My girl has a serious UTI so you all know how many times
they visit the litter. So you need a good product.
Not dusty and clumps very hard.

Thanks for the suggestions ladies! I use litter from Pets Supplies Plus, I can't remeber the name exactly, but I've been looking for something new to try and since there's a Petsmart opening in my town, and speaking of Ms Blackie, we're neighbors! I live in Medina!
I will disagree there. We only used one bag of swheat scoop because the clumps were huge and our toilet coudln't even get one of the clumps down. I was pretty dissapointed with the clumping ability. So we tried WBCL. It was awesome!! Small tight clumps, easily flushed. It was a huge improvement from the pine litter and the swheat scoop we tried before. Now we are on to chicken feed in an attempt to save money
i used WBCL in my littermaids, & didn't have problems with clumping at all. but i didn't like it any better than the tidy cats, & it's more difficult to buy & costs more, so i didn't rebuy it. also, i thought it didn't do as well on odor control. the containers would almost knock me out when it came time to empty them. it would probably be better for non-automated boxes for that reason only.Originally Posted by SolarityBengals

I noticed while in the store yesterday that Tidy Cats has a new blurb on the label that says "new super clumping" something or other, so I think they have tweaked the formula. There is nothing on the website about it, but I did see the new label.
I have tried nearly everything in a search for a perfect litter. Tidy Cats IMO clumps best, but still sometimes leaves tiny fragments. Arm & Hammer tracks less, and tracking is the biggest of my problems in a couple of rooms so half my boxes are Tidy Cats and half Arm & Hammer.
Nothing is perfect, I guess. I haven't yet tried Feline Pine but I guess I should. One of my kitties races into the box, scratches like a demon, potties, and leaps out all in the space of 2 seconds so he flings litter everywhere. The boxes are 12" high, I have rugs all over, and he still makes me vacuum twice a day. AArgh.

I just tried out tidy cat, and it didn't want to work as well as it use to. Do you know if this litter you mentioned will work as well in a litter maid? It scoops the pee and poo up in about 10 min after the cat leaves the box. Is that long enough for this litter to harden. So it doesn't leave any pee behind? I hate that when it happens, because that is where all the smell is.
Problem is I don't want to flush it down my toilet. It clogs up every time. So I got a litter maid, to help keep the smell down while I was at work. But the stuff you are talking about would get caught up in the tines.Originally Posted by SolarityBengals
