Clumping litter that doesn't suck!

My all time favorite litter continues to be WBCL (World's Best Cat
Litter), but lately I haven't had convenient access to any so I've been
buying grocery store varieties, with mixed results. I've noticed that
most clumping litters crumble or get gooey when I try to scoop them
out, which makes the litter smelly. I recently tried Tidy Cats Scoop
Small Spaces, because they advertised that the clumps don't crumble.
You'll know it's the right product when you read the label and you'll
see the claim. I'm pleased to report that it's actually true.
(Shocker!) So I figured I'd let you guys know in case you're frustrated
like I am, er...was

Just order it online. I'm American living overseas, but WB is preferred
by both of us. I order it from PetsMart, usually two bags at a time to
help reduce shipping costs (which admittedly are pretty high).

I would buy it online (I used to, actually), but I can't do that where
I currently live. I live in an apt building and unless I'm home on
delivery day, it goes to the post office. I can't pick it up from the
PO without a car....so, hence the unavailability. But thanks for the
thought

Precious Cat is another excellent brand.

I use Swheat Scoop, a naturally clumping litter, pretty comparable to
WBCL, IMO.

I used to use swheat scoop, but found that it clumps too hard, and
basically glues itself to the side of the pan. WBCL doesn't have that
problem.

(and I hear Meep using her favorite litter right now lol)

I use liners, so any clumps along the edge will peel of the liner
easily. I keep the litter deep, so I don't get many clumps on the
bottom, but they peel off okay too.

I'm not familiar with WBCL, so I can't compare them.

Back when I wanted a new litter, I was looking to avoid the dust of the
regular clay litters and avoid the health hazards of the scoopable
silicon litters. I tried a pellet type litter, but Chase hated it. He
likes a small grainy litter than he can really dig in. He's the reason
I keep it so deep.

easily. I keep the litter deep, so I don't get many clumps on the
bottom...

After cleaning the litter boxes, before I add the new litter, I lightly
spray the inside bottom and sides of the box with cooking spray (PAM).
This keeps clumps from sticking.

I use liners too. Well actually what I do is put the empty litter pan
inside a garbage bag, then fill it with litter. I find the garbage
bags are sturdier so the cats don't claw through it. I also use a
metal litter scoop that I think works better than the plastic kind.
