KITTY LITTER DUST
 
Just became a cat owner a few months ago and thought I had done all my
homework on the pros and cons of owning a cat, but there's always something
you miss. In my case, it's the dust from the kitty litter that has settled
over everything in my home. Is there anything that can be done to eliminate
this most annoying problem. And before you even think of it, I ALREADY OWN A
FEATHER DUSTER AND VACUUM CLEANER ;)

Yes, please get a brand that features 99% less dust if you prefer clay
litter, or look into other types of litter. The dust is hazardous to
your cat's health.

I recently started using the World's Best Cat Litter. It's made from corn
(I think) and has less dust than some of the other types of litters. And it
clumps pretty good too.

Thanks, that a great idea!

Does it say 99% dust free? you many have to get another brand that is
dust free if it spreading that much dust you may also put a hepa filter
machine nearby to help out


I use non scented brands with febreeze diffusers nearby I use a hepa
filter machine myself to collect the dust and smell

We switched to Feline Pine about 6 years ago and we have never
regretted it. We have five cats and I was tired of finding cat litter
tracked everywhere. Feline Pine is a pellet type litter, so it
doesn't track easily and there is no dust. the cats don't have a
problem with it and I never notice that urine smell that the other
litter always seemed to have no matter how much we cleaned the box.

Enjoy your kitty.

I use that one,too now...I love it and the cats do too!
Also, the Pet Ecology brand (the one that supposed to tell you of a urinary
problem), is dust free,too.

I buy litter that says '99% dust free'.

Dust gets everywhe it's **1% DUST**.

But it's what I can afford.

And it's in the basement, fortunately. I vacuum up what I can.

I use these products below, I have 3 cats and 3 boxes
They are great!!! no odors no dust :-)
Yesterday's News litters are made with recycled newspapers and contain no
small particles, so they're truly dust-free.
Fresh Step Crystals offers a convenient, lightweight litter that locks in
odor and absorbs wetness better than the leading clay litter dust-free
