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.

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


I'll have to try that. My litter is ok but my neighbor has tons of
dust so I'll see if it works for her stuff.


Do this outside while facing downwind. this is how they used to seperate the
wheat from the chaff. It should work well with cat litter dust.
