We really like Dr. Elsey's brand. It doesn't track much and it's the lowest dust we have experienced. We have 4 cats.

We use the blue "Ultra" but I think the red "Classic" is specifically low tracking.

Putting rugs/mats under the litter boxes can help with the tracking. So far as a litter...Feline Pine doesn't track much at all, but kitty may not like the pellets. Scooping feline pine is interesting, as you have to "reverse scoop" it, taking out the sawdust and leaving the pellets. I have one box with Feline Pine and it doesn't get much use, honestly. We also use Dr. Esey's Cat Attract litter and Tidy Cats Clump and Seal. I like the last two better than Scoop Away, but they do track some. The Cat Attract is the best of the two so far as tracking. It still tracks some, but it's not terrible and neither is as dusty as Scoop Away. The crystal cat liters where you just scoop the poo and the urine stays in there...I tried that and did not like it (plus have suspicions it's not good for kitty). It didn't track much, but it did smell.

Overall, I'd recommend you try Dr. Elsey's (original or cat attract...original is lower in price) and some rugs. Roomba helps a lot here too!

Cut off the cat's legs. Duh!

I forgot to say it has to be clumping. Never heard of Dr. Elsey. Where is that available?

I have a mat around the box, but it still scatters out on the floor and I find it around the house sometimes too.

We use the Tidy Cat clumping, too. DH is a vacuuming freak so I can't speak to the tracking. He has his handy vac and runs it many times a day. Works for me! :)

I use Tidy Cat clumping also and have no problem....Only have 2 cats but do have 3 boxes set up......

We've used the crystal kind for years and find there's very little smell. I think depth plays a part here, as DD also uses it and it gets funky but she only puts a thin layer down. I don't say anything because she gets her back up if I do.

Dr. Elseys is available at Petco/PetSmart type stores. We get ours on Amazon with prime shipping. It's a little inconvenient to not be able to get it at a grocery store or Target but we find it worthwhile.

Chewy.com is where we get our Dr. Elsey's. It's also available on Amazon. It is my first choice for a clumping litter. We order multiple 40 lb bags at a time. We stopped ordering from Amazon when they were shipping it via USPS...the mail lady did not seem happy with having to carry the heavy boxes and I totally understand that. The UPS guy has a nice dolly that he uses to bring them to the door. Chewy seems to have the best price for it, right now.

Veggie, I always feel guilty when I order it on Amazon! We used to order a few at a time but now we just order one bag every couple weeks and it's not as bad for the poor guys.

We use the big green jug from Costco. It's inexpensive and you get a lot! We had carpet fresh kitty litter powder to it for deodorizer.

Not sure what kind of box you have or if your cat will even adapt to a different kind, but I’ve heard that many times cats are reluctant to brand changes of their littler so it may just be easier to get different box with features that help avoid the tracking.

I wonder if the big green jug is a Canada thing Debby. All we have at the Costco’s in our area the 42 lb bags that feel like boulders when you pick them up...(or should I say for some of us, TRY to pick them up)

It's true that cats are sometimes resistant to litter changes, but I've had a lot of cats and none of them cared about the type of litter. Maybe a more drastic change to the wheat or pine type litter would be more difficult.

Oh! It's made by Kirkland so I just assumed it was Costco Canada and US.

eta: I stand corrected. It's not Kirkland brand. It's this:http://media.costco.co.uk/medias/sys_master/root/h85/hf3/8852738080798.jpg?buildNumber=RELEASE-90-SVN-2982

I have one cat and this is the first time I am using corn cob litter that I got at WM. I was using Tidy Cat and I always could smell the litter box. Now I don't smell it at all. I don't notice if it tracks, but I think no matter what kind I use my cat throws it out when she is covering it up. He doesn't mind it I change the kind of litter I use.

We hate all the dust with Tidy Cat, won't use it. We use Arm & Hammer.

We use Tidy Cat too. Tracking isn't much of a problem with a track mat and rug. I vacuum the laundry room and adjacent hallway once a day. Dust is what I hate. Tidy Cat claims to be 99.9% dust free. That's a bunch of bull. I see Dr. Elsey's claims to be 99% dust free. Knowing TC is lying I would assume the same for Dr. Elsey's.

We've used Tidy Cat clumping litter for multiple cats for years. We have a gray mat designed for "catching" litter and their litter box has a clear plastic lid. We get very little litter out on the floor. What's there on the floor is easily swept up with a broom and dust pan. Some Carpet Fresh can be added to litter if you feel the box has a smell. I clean the litter box every morning for our two kittens.

I bought one of those big washing machine drip pans from Home Depot and it has nearly completely resolved the litter kicked-out and tracking issue. I use Arm and Hammer Super Scoop and think it is the best for the money (I've tried a lot of brands). As Nicole said it is not dusty and it clumps quite well.

Actually CindyMac it really is almost dust-free. We can dump a 40 pound bag into our litter container and it barely makes any dust cloud. There's no truly dust-free litter but this is as close as I've gotten. Significantly better than grocery store brands.

Debby, I've never seen kitty litter in a jug, at Costco. They sell a 28 kg box (50 lb) here, and it's easy to see who has cats because so many people have them in their carts. It's $8.99 and called QualiCat.

Alisande, there was a post on Facebook recently where these bowls from Dollarama were tested for lead and it was extremely high. A lot of people have thrown them out. It's not worth the risk, for a couple of dollars. I have them as well, but I also have other stainless bowls bought from the pet store that I use most often.

I just found this litter and love it. I've had cats all my life and have dealt with the litter being kicked and tracked all over. This litter is walnut-based, and doesn't track at all. And there's no dust. It smells sort of like bark.

Arm & Hammer Slide I found didn't track

Chisu, that’s funny, we’ve actually had the problem which is why I brought it up. We’ve always had more than one cat, so I’m not sure if it was a gender thing, a symptom of a UT problem, or just a picky thing. I suspect too that some will reject the litter is if the added scent is too strong; for example, the litter Costco & Sams Club sells has an overwhelming smell of fabreeze in it. Animals are so sensitive to those perfumy smells it just baffles me that the maker would do that (regardless of the reason). Just a slight whiff of that cr*p gives me a headache, I’d reject it to. LOL

We have our boxes in the basement now, but years ago when we didn’t, I’d mix some arm and hammer into the litter to help with oders.

ETA: This is for the more cost conscious but when you look at the prices vs the product, litter isn’t cheap. Changing the box to one that prevents tracking better will ultimately keep one’s costs down.

We just started using one by Arm & Hammer for our five cats. It's in a black box and it's like a brown sand - not like traditional grey clumping litter. It's probably one of the Clump & Seals, maybe the one called "Slide." (Although the Chewy reviews indicate Slide has a strong scent and this one seems to be either lightly scented or unscented.). I'm sorry, we already recycled the box, so I can't tell you exactly what it is, but it was definitely A&H and I am amazed at how little it tracks. Not only that, but in a side by side comparison - we have three basement boxes near each other - the cats seem to prefer the A&H over Tidy Cat.

We previously used Dr. Elsey's and while it is better than just about everything else we've tried as far as dust goes, it still tracks a little, but not nearly as bad as Tidy Cat. I would recommend it. Believe me, I've been trying everything, as one of our litter boxes sits in half of our master closet and one is in our laundry room. My husband gave up his side of the closet for the litter box, which we need to have for a cat that stays almost exclusively in our bedroom, and I have tried everything under the sun to reduce dust and tracking. For the one our laundry room closet, since we started using this new A&H last week, we don't have nearly the amount of tracking into the adjacent kitchen.

I have found that tracking is also a function of your cat. We have one cat that must clench the litter between her toes, because no matter what we use, she can track it from one litter box to the other end of the house. I always know when she has just been in the box.

Chi, ok, maybe I'll give it a try and keep my fingers crossed that the boys don't notice a difference.

Oh, if your cats are like mine, they will notice. If I change brands of litter, I do it by putting a patch of the new to one side on about 1/3 of the surface, Next time it is 1/2 etc. until I have gradually transitioned. I pretend I do not see any angry glares.

That’s a great idea Elizabeth...
