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

(I use the pelletized one)
Not only do you have no more clay dust, but the pine wood compressed flake
pellets break down into a coarse enough 'saw dust' in the pan over several
days, that doesn't get tracked even a fraction as much as clay, and never
breaks down to fine airborne dust, and also provides a natural deodorizer of
urine--this makes for far less changing of the litter (other than scooping
turds).
Two cats peeing in a good-sized pan with a bit over an inch of this poured
initially will need over a week of usage before odor of urine becomes
apparent.
Also, as the volume is much greater by weight, the ~$10 per 20 pound bag
works out not so costly as one might think. Roughly, it's equivalent to over
well 3 times the usage per pound as the clay, perhaps more. By my estimate,
I get six fills, more than six weeks, from the 20 pound bag. I've been using
it for many years now--it's really the best.
