Kitty Litter - to clump or not to clump?

I am not certain if one type is better or worse for them. But I myself use the clumping kind. For one I think it is easier to clean up after. And two, my cat won't use the nonclumping kind. If the husband accidentally picks up the wrong stuff, she will get in the litter box, make some hideous noises and promptly potty on the floor. SO, we try to avoid the non clumping at all costs.

Hi there...clumpable litters are bad for cats because if accidentally ingested from when a cat grooms themselves the litter solidifies in the intestinal tract causing blockage and fatality. There has been some recent discussions about the safety of clay litters also solidifying when accidentally ingested as well, however it isn't as nearly as lethal as the clumpable litters. There are many new litters that are not only evironmentally friendly, but less likely to cause intestinal blockages, allergic reactions for example and are flushable so they won't clog septic systems. These litters are: The Worlds Best Cat Litter http://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/ Swheat Scoop http://www.swheatscoop.com Yesterday's News http://www.yesterdaysnews.com/ Feline Pine http://www.naturesearth.com/ Cedarific Litter http://www.mysimon.com/9000-10992_8-0.html?mlpid=29571879

I use the clumping kind, it is easier to clean out of the litter box thus they have cleaner litter on a regular basis.

I prefer clumping litter. It's so much easier to clean up and my cats like it better on their paws. It is finer so I think it doesn't hurt the little bads on their paws.
