How about tracking? I have a Maine Coon (BIG paws with long fur on bottom of paws) & he can really track litter through the house...

I have a maine coon and use this litter. It does track, but not especially more than other litters. I can always tell when he has used it though because he tracks beyond where his box is to within 5-10 feet. It tends to track less when you keep it scooped and dry. Just for information I have a front entry covered jumbo litter box with a litter catcher mat in front of it.

We have a Norwegian Forest cat. Not as large as a Maine Coon, but still bit. The litter does not track through the house, but there is a substantial amount around the cat pan.

I haven't noticed excessive litter around the house, not significantly more or less than other brands. But honestly, the best thing I've done to keep my place clean is get a top entry litter box.

I notice my cat leaves track when I add new litter, my carpet is probably 25 feet from the litter box. I also notice the distinct yellowish litter on their paws but this could be because the cats like to dig more when the litter is cleaned out and new litter is added.

Well every cat is different, but I'd say the transition should be gradual. Definitely pour some of his old litter with some feces in there so he can learn to associate the smell with bathroom. Keeping his old box out for a bit of time is a good idea too, at least until you see that he willingly (and often) uses the Clevercat box.

Sorry to hear about your cat, Paige! I had the opposite problem - my dog was eating out of the cat box when I had regular cat litter but fortunately wasn't interested in the clay pellets of Breeze. I'm having to change back from Breeze because my cat is 19 and big boned, and can no longer squat to fit the box, so she's just missing the front or back side. Now I'm on the hunt for a bigger box and litter my dog won't eat or won't hurt her, at least. Thanks for sharing your story!

It would be a fine choice for coon hunting. It's always great to know where your dogs are!

The Everholder FURemover Broom may be the solution. I have several dogs and cats and deal with lots of hair and litter. I use this broom every day and it works better than any other broom I've ever tried. It's sturdy and hair and litter doesn't fly around when you're sweeping. Definitely worth a try.

You can use the Petsafe simply clean cotinuous - clean litter box we had two of them . We like it I think you will too. Andrea it will help you out it and your cat will like it too.

Equine pine pellets work great for us, and they are $4.99 for a 40lb bag. They absorb urine very well and feces seem to clump and dry out easily for removing. I wouldn't hesitate to try a bag to see if you like it...the money you save could be used to buy "Fluffy" more catnip-laced cat toys :)

My cat easily went back to using his litter box. He preferred it. I never successfully trained him to use the toilet. We made it to green and he was to large to sit on the edge of the toilet at that stage. If you have a small, thin cat, it might all work. My cat was more than willing, but the setup didn't work for him. So we are back to litter.

I'm sorry I do not know, however, after using the litter for a while, it started to track. At first it was great, didn't use excess litter( I have a litter robot) . As time went by the tracking was really bad and if you have a long hair cat, the litter gets imbedded in her fur. Good luck

One of my cats is 21 lbs but doesn't have that long fur on bottoms. It doesn't seem to track too bad, a little. I'm not sure there is anything that doesn't track at all.

I use this litter for my rabbits. When I have gone away I don't make whoever is watching them for a weekend clean them. Sometimes the litter is really wet,but I have never had trouble with them tracking it. It is paper pellets like the size for a wood pellet stove. The only mess I get is when they decide to empty the pan so they can roam free while their bedroom gets a good cleaning

I put peanut butter on marshmallows. This has worked great for me. I've caught 18 coons this season. Caught a huge momma coon just last night and the bait was really old. Good luck.

While we do not live in the mountains, we do live at the top of a large hill and our backyard is wooded. We have tracked our 16 year old cat through the woods, down the hill and behind a house at the bottom of the hill with pinpoint accuracy. I would think that as long as the total distance away is within the parameters of the system, it wouldn't matter if the animal was up, down, or sideways!

I use this product for my 8lb house trained rabbit. I scoop out wet and large solid pellets. I have learned that cleaning up small messes everyday, helps save on the litter!

I have to honestly say that there is some tracking. But, the grains are very small and far less painful to step on, and less damaging to my hardwood floors, than clay litter. Swheat Scoop is so much more ecologically friendly that I don't care if it does track--but I have found that a strategically placed fluffy cotton rug extending out from the litterbox catches 90% of the grains. More importantly, this is much healthier for the cats and they never object to it. When it clumps, it's nice and solid and does not make a goopy, sticky ball glued to the bottom of the litterbox. No chisel needed to clean the box!

I used the cat attraction stuff. You just sprinkle it in the litter. You could also put litter from a dirty litter box in to make it smell like a litter box. The cat attract works like a charm though

I'm wondering this as well - we have a cat that will not use a litter box but will use puppy pads.... thinking of trying one of these. Anybody try this yet?
