    I've actually bought some of the masks that you can put over your mouth and nose to use while cleaning litter boxes. I've been freaked out by the amount of crap that I breathe in while cleaning boxes. I mean, it sounds gross, but have you ever noticed the dust in your nostrils after cleaning, or the gray crap that is tissues as well. I try to use the least dusty scoopable litter possible, but there is still dust.

    I've tried pine litter and the newspaper litters, but my guys hated them. I have been mixing in the Dr. Elsley's Senior cat litter, which is crystal like, and it's been working pretty well also.

    I'm glad to hear that Jimmy is doing better and I hope that the new litter will help. I've now switched to nonscented litter and I've been using Dr. Elsey's Ultra Precious Cat Multi Cat Scoopable Litter in my uncovered boxes and Premium Choice Extra Strength with Baking Soda Crystals Scoopable Litter in my 2 covered boxes. They're both virtually dust free and when I blow my nose after I scoop there's no dust in my nose or grey stuff left in my kleenex. I've noticed a huge difference and they both control the odor and my cats love them.
