I will still stick with World's Best. In fact the reason I switched to it is being able to sift out clumps and not the whole box. I have 5 cats and even in the winter months when they cannot go outside, it lasts a long time. It is also half the weight of clay.

Sometimes coughing is due to mild cardiac problems. Otherwise, do you use anything scented like laundry detergent. I always use free/clear because I don't like to breathe chemicals along with my blankets. Rug cleaning, change of dish detergent, anything that would add some sort of fumes to the air might be a problem for any cat, not only FeLv+. Cough can also be due to spasm in throat. Maybe he eats too fast or too much at a time. or something that sort of sticks in his throat. I get a spasm from eating certain foods, like bread or potatoes. > > > > > > >On Sunday, November 10, 2013 2:19 PM, Lance <[email protected]> wrote: > >+1 for Feline Pine. >> >>On Nov 10, 2013, at 2:05 PM, Beth <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>Hi Tina - >>> >>>SWeat Scoop also harden to a cement-like texture that is horribly difficult >>>to get out .
