yeah matt will tolerate me putting up to about 70% pine mixed into his regular litter before refusing to use it lol.......it's enough to make the box smell nice thoughGood luck with whatever you try. I can't tell you how many "natural" types of litter I've gone through. I always end up back with the clumping clay litter in a coarse sandy texture because that's what all the kitties like. When I get something new I'll put it in one litter box and keep the others the same as I've been using. I found that with World's Best and Feline Pine there wasn't even a single kitty pawprint in the the box after a month. I've seen them sniff at it and just walk away.
i bought the non-clumping maxx scoop by mistake last time....it's horrible, I had to mix in ample amounts of pine just to be able to use it up lol. I'll try the regular version, i seem to recall using it with Sassy before switching her to pine.....only she liked the stuff, thus solving my dilemma for the rest f her life hahahahaI haven't tried many litters, but I'm using Maxx Scoop (and have been for years!) without any dust issues, etc. It also has good absorption and odor control!

The non clumping s what they gave me when I started fostering ( a month ago). Used it long enough that I knew I was not going to use it again ..they then bought me some clumping. As you stated, the non clumping was donated.non clumping is SCARY! I volunteer at a shelter and thats what is donated most of the time.

Non clumping litter should be used for kittens under 12 weeks . They like to play and taste lots of stuff and theres the risk of them swallowing clumping litter. Just like when their urine hits the clumping litter and it clumps if they ingest clumping litter it could clump in a kittens intestines which are so tiny and cause bloackages. If not caught and taken to the vet and treated correctly it can cause major medcial problems and even be fatal. So lots of people who donate non clumping litter maybe have left overs from when their kittens grow old enough that they believe they no longer have to be so cautious? I know i have left overs and dont want to hassle myself with using it as shes not that little and uses her box and gets right out now. Theres no playing or trying to eat litter.The non clumping s what they gave me when I started fostering ( a month ago).

i would never have bought it on purpose....I was in a hurry and saw cheap stuff or maxx scoop....grabbed the brand I knew and got home to find out I'd have been better off with the cheap stuff lol! yuck....this is after my arm and hammer mistake last time...i got scented and was scented right out of my basement fr 2 weeks...........i really have to learn to take the time to read the litter like I read the food labels, because it takes me 10minutes to buy a can of cat food and i always bring home sucky litternon clumping is SCARY!

Why is that with the hybrids? I don't use clumping as I don't care for the possible health issues, dust and of course I often have kittens about. Plus it's far more expensive than wood pellets.However, I can't use, clumping litter. Due to my hybrid cats.
missymotus, what was the brand again? I'm finally going where I can buy it, but I've forgotten what it's called and can't find the threadVery true
I use wood pellets in purpose made sieve trays, very economical, long lasting, controls odour. Safe for cats and kittens, no dust and no tracking.
