But, My Foster Momma had her Kittens Sun Morning, so they are going on a week old.. wow.. NEver thought about it that way till now.. HAHA.. But I have them all in the Cat play pin, with a litter pan,and a Covered Heating pad.. and food and water. Now.. when the kittens are old enough to see and move around on there own.. And it is time to litter train and all.. What litter is best.. I have allergies to Dust, so I cant Use dusty Litters.. Like clays and all.. I Been using Sweat scoop.. which is made with Weat. It is Flushable,and From what I thought organicish.. Lol Well Is that an Ok litter for them? I figured it is made from wheat.. so maybe it wouldnt be bad if the kittens ate a lil.. :-/ Am I Right or wrong? LOL And When should I Start letting them out in the room to run around? I have a Leather Recliner in there,and I am worried to let them out, as they may run under it,and get stuck or something.. :-/ Any Suggestions?

I would look into Feline Pine. It is little nuggets of actual pine wood. When the cat urinates, it swells up and turns into sawdust. The sawdust can then be put in any garden as a fertilizer.

Sweat scoop should be fine. It's the clumping brand of litter you want to avoid for now.

I waited until the kittens were vet checked and had their first shots (6 weeks) before I introduced them to another room. BTW....you probably will want to invest in a cat tree....kittens get to be very rambunctious and a cat tree allows them to explore their surroundings.
