This is why I want to switch. But I'm afraid to change the nature of the
litter too much because my cats are good about using their boxes and I want
them to
stay that way.

I have seen this litter, but imagine that litter made from newspapers will
feel very different for the cats.

Many cats hate Yesterday's News. If your cats accept it, though, it
works very well. What I'd suggest is that you set up a new box, right
near their current box or boxes, and give it a week or two to see if
they use it. There are also wheat, pine, and other litters that should
feel more like what they're accustomed to. A co-worker here who's
living with cats for the first time is using the wheat litter, Swheat,
I think it's called, and likes it much better than the clay litter he
was using for his cats before, and the cats accepted it easily.

We used it for years -- the cats did fine with it.

We switched though because it doesn't compost quickly and has to be
changed more often than some of the other litters that cover the smell
better.
