Let me add that I have severe asthma and allergies to just about everything, so these comments are also coming from someone with similar conditions to yours.

Ocimom - clumping and traditional non-clumping litters are BOTH Clay.

 
So many cats...
Isn't it great?

Well then its the way its made, cause the clumping kind kept odors down unlike the normal clay litters. Maybe it was the fact that it bonded into solids that could be removed easier.

But now that you mention it, I have noticed that the clumping would get smelly at times on the bottom like the clay. I'll stick to the wood pellets

I have an interesting question. I know that pine shavings are very dangerous to most small animals because of the chemicals in the pine. It causes cancer among other things. It worries me that perhaps it would be the same for cats? Non-pine pellets seem like they would be the safer bet. There is also litter made out of recycled paper, but I doubt that would cut back on smell at all.

The pellets take awhile to break down, and you would clean it out before the cats walked too much in them. The pellets I have do not have chemicals in them.
