Clumping litter??

I have not seen them eat the litter recently. They seem to want to get the job done quickly and get back to playing. I think the novelty of the litter wore off, but a new texture might make them want to taste. I can finish up my bag of non clumping, but the clumping is so much more odor adsorbing!
From what I have read....3 to 4 months of age is the ealiest recommendation.

Okay, Katie. I trust your instructions on everything pertaining to cats. I came here to ask about this because our vet said they could be using clumping litter now. She actually said she started her own cat on clumping litter when it was a kitten. This vet also said it would be fine to rehome the kittens anytime after their vaccinations last Saturday.
I guess maybe vets looks at things in terms of what is "acceptable" for kittens, not what is "best" for them.
Hey Pxxiegirl.....I've learned a LOT in my time doing rescue. Believe me....I know you can place kittens as young as 7 weeks of age...I got my 2 at 8 weeks (and bad me used clumping litter from the start)...but I do have to say...having placed hundreds of kittens for our rescue group...the ones that stayed until they were 10-12 weeks in a foster home with mom were more socialized. It's weird how a couple of weeks makes a difference..but it does. Also, my 2 cats never developed any issues from being on clumping litter...but again, I learned later on the seriousness of potentially digesting it. A few more weeks on the non-clumping stuff would be ideal...and actually I would gradually add clumping litter around 3 months and completely shift them to it by 4 months of age. The new owners will probably want to get them there own litterbox anyways.
