I recently started using supermarket gravel litter for my two cats. They
made the switch from their old litter painlessly but I find that this
litter produces a fair amount of dust. I find the dust seems to stick in my
throat. I'm not having difficulty breathing and have no allergies that I
know about but I don't much LIKE the dust.
Is there anything inexpensive I can do to keep the amount of dust down?
Would spritzing the litter with water occasionally help or would it make
the litter unattractive to the cats?
Also, is there any likelihood that the dust will harm me if I just ignore
the dust and live with it? I'm not sure if you can answer that without an
ingredient list but I'm guessing that most gravel litter has the same
ingredients regardless of the brand.

I use tidy cat multi very little dust. Wal-Mart has it pretty cheap. if
you have a sams club they sell it for 50 pound bag for about $8.00.
For what it's worth, I went to Walmart and they have a variety of cat
litters but NOT Tidy Cat. I checked two different Walmarts and neither
one carried Tidy Cat. I'm in Southern Ontario (Canada) so I suspect the
Canadian Walmarts use different suppliers than the American stores.
I imagine that would work but it seems to me it just "time shifts" the
dust. Instead of getting dust every time the cats use the litter, you
get it all in a concentrated dose as you shift the litter back and forth
between containers....
Hmm. I see Pet Smart sells Tidy Cats litter. $7.99 for a 40 pound bag.
Weird: they quote the price in US dollars even though this is the
Canadian website.... The Canadian dollar is still close to par with the
US so it should still be close to 7.99 Canadian.
A member years ago name Phil. He said take a empty container and pour the
bag of cat litter back and forth to get rid of all the extra dust from the
cheaper brands
