I've had two dsh cats for about a year and we buy their litter at Costco, the Scoop Away (42lbs for $9) and it's worked like a charm, we keep it clean and we never had a litter dragging problem. Paws are clean, cats are happy.
I recently adopted a dlh kitten and whenever she goes into the litter box she drags litter on her fur and whenever we try to clean it, all that ends up happening is that it clumps in her fur and just becomes an even bigger mess. Any recommendations?
I've been thinking about switching her litter but I'm scared it won't work as well as scoop away does. I'm a big fan of clumping litter since it keeps a cleaner litter box. Thanks !

Maybe instead of changing her litter (since it sounds like it's working for you outside of the tracking problem) you could try a litter mat. We have one in from of our box for our two DMH cats, who tracked litter out on their paws. You can find them at most pet stores or online and they aren't very expensive. We have a few reviewed on the site here:
