So, is there one? I have noticed Pearl's feet being very dusty upon leaving
the cat box. We use unscented Arm and Hammer clumping litter. Supposed to be
99% dust free, but..... What would be the best litter to get to minimize
her being in dust?

I've found that "Tidy Cats" is the most dust-free I've ever used (well,
actually the cats use it, but I have to scoop it twice a day and I don't
breathe in dust with this one like I do with other brands).

There's this one paper litter in a blue-ish white bag that appears to be ok.
But the clumping isn't worth a.. hehe.. sh*t.

But dust wise, seemed ok.

Hey, Karen, I use Dr. Elsey's "Precious Cat" cat litter for multiple
kitties -- I really like it. Here's a link to the website:

Petsmart carries it.

I've been using those absorbent pearls for a while now, and there is no
dust, but the annoying thing with them is that they roll around the
floor (after Miranda excavates one of the litterboxes). It's nice that
you don't have to scoop other than the solids, the rest is absorbed and
there is no smell.

I used those for Bandit after she had her surgeries. *I* like it better,
but when Bandit was healed I put that in one litter box and used the
clumping litter in the other three, and *NOBODY* used the crystals, so I
decided not to try changing and causing litter box upsets.

"Yesterdays News" is brilliant. Doesn't track, isn't dusty, and you can
recycle it by digging it into the garden. Also, if you are "spot"
cleaning (removing poo) it's safe to fluch small amounts down the
lavatory.

Get the un-scented kind. :o)
