Took my cats to the vet because they were itching a lot and poor Butch had a bunch of scabs along his back and under his tail. After examining the cats the vet said he saw no signs of fleas so he concluded it must be allergies of some kind. He gave each of them some Revolution and a shot of Depo. It's been a couple days and Butch's scabs are almost all gone and they both seem to be feeling better.
Considering the allergies I thought perhaps the litter I was using (Fresh Step Simply Unscented) might also be a culprit, so I started researching some new litter. This morning I bought a bag of sWheat scoop. Reviews seem generally favorable, but the main draw is that it doesn't contain any clay and there is no dust. I can attest to the no dust because when I poured it in the freshly cleaned litter boxes there was nothing.
However, when Coda examined the box she peed on the floor, so I'm not 100% sure how well this will work. I've also been reading some more reviews of this product and have discovered that some have made the following complaints: it's just as dusty as clay litter, it is made from wheat and can attract bugs, it does not clump as well as clay litter and makes cleanup a chore.
I have no experience with any of these things yet so I was wondering if anyone else has tried or been using this litter and what your experience with it is?
