To: "Anna M. Adam" <[log in to unmask] Anna - I use clumping litter for my kids and my 20 year old cat too. (And sometimes the miniature pinscher ;-P ) I've never had any problems. I spread an old towel out right in front of the box so the kids can do the ol' ferret-drag-race when they're done. I can say that over the years I have found a HUGE difference in the quality of the different brands. I won't use any brand but EverClean. It's a little harder to find (not handled in grocery stores) - but definitely worth it. Those cheap litters are more work than they are worth - and they don't last nearly as long as the better ones do. Just my opinion.....
