I've been using Tidy Cat Breeze boxes for several years and I love them, but one of my cats has some foot issues (my vet thinks it may be pododermatitis) and I think the litter hurts his feet, so he's been going outside the litter box.
I am going to put in a 'regular' litterbox to hopefully help that issue. I really don't want to because I've never been able to find another litter that works half as well on odor control as the Tidy Cat Breeze but I have to do something to get him going in a box again.

Anyway my question is what type of litter is good for odor control but easy on the feet? I think the big Breeze pellets may be poking his feet. I also don't want him to get litter stuck between his toes which may make his infection worse.

Perhaps the yesterday's news will work even with the breeze.
I actually use the the breeze with wood stove pellets not the pellets you are suppose to use.
My cat allows me to just put a couple hand fulls in the box at the back and she still uses it fine. Perhaps you can try this.? I do remove the #2 as soon as possible as she can not cover it to well. I catch her #1 with those styrofoam meat trays cut down to size and empty her #1 twice a day in the toilet. I still have the pad beneath just in case. My other kitten uses the wood stove pellets in
the pine litter original litter box - Sifter item I purchased from them. I think this system is better then the Breeze. Try a sifter box with the least amount of yesterday news or horse stall pellets, Pine pellts or wood stove pellets ( I think these will be hard to find). I think nasty fine litter would stick to bad foot?
