The car radio played Shout and the cat on the backseat howled. Playing the radio is absolutely essential when I take Roxy for a ride because there is only one reason I put her in a car: We're going to the dreaded V-E-T. This time, the problem is that she has two ulcers (aka scratches) in her eyes.
To help our other, big cat with her arthritis, we had put a litter box upstairs so she wouldn't have to climb stairs. That plan backfired because 1. Big cat still went downstairs most of the time out of habit; 2. The floor was a mess; 3. Roxy started sneezing soon after we brought up the litter box. Then her eyes became watery and she rubbed them. I had to get an emergency appointment at the vet to check her eyes. Now, I have to find some clay based litter so we can get rid of her allergies once and for all. Will old cats learn new litter? I'll keep you posted.

I use something called World's Best Cat Litter. It's made from corn and is expensive, but it lasts forever. Well...almost. Anyhow, it hasn't bothered allergies: mine or Skye's and it clumps AND its environmentally friendly. It keeps odors to a minimum and actually smells like cattle feed (corn), which is nice.
Supposedly, you could flush it, but I'm not that brave. I toss it over the fence and the neighbor's cows EAT it (corn!).
Any time you change litter, you should mix the new with the old at first and gradually keep adding more of the new. A friend of mine recently switched litter cold turkey and kitty started leaving nasty gifts on the carpet.
Good luck!
