We are going to try and take our cats with us on trips this year and have been "cat proofing" the MH as best we can. One question I have and wanted to get feedback on is what kind of cat litter do you use? I tried some of the clay mix in the RV yesterday while acclimating the cats to the MH and the few times they were in and out of the box, litter was getting tracked all over. I have read about corn, coconut husks, walnut shells, etc, but cant seem to fine one that is really recommended over the other for various reasons. For those who travel with cats, what have you found that works best? Thanks for the help,

Cats don't like their litter changing. I would use the same thing you use at home.A small cordless vac will take care of what they track around.

Cider,We use World's Best both at the house and in the motorhome. We also purchased a large rubber mat to go under the liter box in the motorhome so we can pick it up and shake it out every couple days. The other big plus with World's Best is that it is flushable and yes we have used in our motorhome for several years without problems. Not the cheapest, but very convenient and made from corn.Hope this helps.

Our cat could care less what's in his box when he has to go. We use Slide (Arm and Hammer?) litter. Cleans up easier and doesn't seem to track as much as some of the others we've tried. It's a bit spendy.We also put pieces of carpets/foor mats near the box "entrance" to try to get him to shed the litter on his feet before he gets too far from the box, which is near the side entry door. Makes cleaning it up easier. When we stop for rest/food/whatever, I shake the carpet pieces outside while DW does a quick sweep out the side door of the broader litter box area. Quick and painless.

I would stick with clay. I haven't been impressed with walnut shells, etc. If anyone has asthma, the slightest allergy to nuts, etc., and the walnut shells can aggravate it horribly.As suggested, just use a small vac or whisk broom, etc., as needed.
