My cats all hated the pelleted paper litter. They prefer wood shavings. Non-clumping wood shavings. Cedarific is a good brand of cat litter that is nice small sized and scoopable wood shavings (small enough they sift through a typical litterbox scoop), but I actually save a TON of money by buying horse stall pine wood shavings (though scooping is more of a hunt and pick thing than and scoop and sift thing). They come in a huge 50 pound bale and it only costs $3.25. If you must use a clumping litter, don't use a clay-based one, they are toxic and dangerous for ALL cats, not just FELV+ cats. Try the brands World's Best, or Swheat Scoop. Those are both corn or wheat based, and can be digested if ingested. Feline Fresh is a wood-based clumping litter and is much safer than clay, but obviously not as digestible as the wheat or corn would be. http://www.adirondackcraft.com/XPH/nep/ManufacturerProducts.htm (non-clumping wood - and the story behind the product - one of the reasons why I think it's such a good product is the ecological mind-set of the manufacturer) http://www.petfooddirect.com/store/dept.asp?dept_id=22&brand_id=60 (smaller bags sold here)
