We had a discussion here recently on litter. Someone had info. that clumping clay can actually collect in the stomach and clump, just as it clumps in the box with moisture, which of course can cause problems. (This can happen via grooming). So I JUST switched a couple of weeks ago to Sweatscoop, a wheat clumping litter. It's all natural. It is not as good as FreshStep as far as clumping goes, but it does clump some. Doesn't have the dust of the clumping litter and naturally eliminates the ammonia odor. As long as you scoop the box daily, it is a good litter, imo. A few people complained about weevils, or some type of insect getting into the litter, but I wasn't sure if they meant in the bag or in the litter box. I haven't seen any creatures just yet. The kitties are using it just fine; I didn't even gradually switch the litters. I just put the new litter in the empty box, and they have been using it just fine. I paid $20 for a 40 lb. bag (they didn't carry anything smaller at Petsmart) that I've used about 2/3 of in two boxes for a couple of weeks. So financially, it's about the same, give or take, as the FreshStep. I don't think I'll ever use anything that doesn't clump ever again.
