Where did you see that?  I never wanted to pay more for it.  I imagine there is more dust with it?

Where did you get that information?  Don't post a link, use your words.

I tried it once and it's disgusting.  So much dust.  It bothered me so I can imagine little pet lungs being exposed to this.

I was warned by the director of an animal shelter who works with veterinary clinics. I didn't see a need to investigate it further. I just wanted to pass along what I was told.

I don't understand.  We use it here and it isn't dusty....   thought it was great.  Ugh.  I'm going to have to look it up and see what the issue could possibly be ..

We use it and have no problem.  We do have a domed litter box, though.

I googled it, and there are pages about it. I copied one for viewing, since none was posted yet. If these claims are true, it shouldn't be on the market. I used it once to try, but didn't like it.

I also found an article on snopes that said there was no real evidence that the reports on social media were true, and only rumors. I don't know. I got to thinking when I used it, I noticed the fine powder was static clinging to my cats. So, when they groom themselves, they would consume some. So, whether it's a true or false claim, I don't want my cats eating the stuff litter is made from.

I used it for a while and if your kitties tinkle on their feet or if they get wet it sticks to their paws and then they lick it off.  That is what was happening to mine.  I don't know what the article is about.  I don't open links.
