Yesterday's News Cat Litter Review

I never knew this stuff existed until I started adopting ferrets over 12 years ago.  Because ferrets are so small, regular dusty cat litter can be very harmful to them and their tiny respiratory systems.  Yesterday's News is recycled newspaper and is virtually dust free.  A big bag of this litter is cheaper than the normal size box of clumping cat litter.

I haven't tried this with the cat since she likes to "dig" and "bury" her treasures.  I just don't think she'd get the same satisfaction out of trying to bury things in these little pellets.  I would like to try using it with her though.  Since it is virtually dust free I don't have to worry about her inhaling all of those little dusty particles from the litter while she's digging around in her litter box.

The only downsides I've noticed is that this litter doesn't mask odors as well as the usual clumping litter does.  Also, when the pellets get when it's like getting paper wet, it just sort of sits there in a big clump.  There's really no easy way to scoop it out of the box.  I usually just used very little in the box and changed all of the litter in the box often.

I would recommend this litter to anyone with an animal that uses a litter box or is in a cage.
