I use a cat litter mat that is easy to clean and works great for a senior cat. Our sweet Margo is 18 and occasionally has an accident.
To tell you the truth, I actually bought a kitchen sink mat to save money. It cost around $11, compared to a Cat Mat for Litter Box, Large 34" x 22", Waterproof Silicone Pad for Floor priced at $23.

I stopped using Dr. Elsey's Cat Litter.
Everyone who walked into my house could tell I have cats because of the tracking on my hardwood floors.
I agree - cheap cat litter can cost you extra effort to keep your house clean.

I like Integrity Clumping Clay Cat Litter. I used to buy 20 lb bags at Bogie’s (Fremont).
The litter forms stronger clumps, which means less waste.
Unfortunately, the only option now is 40 lb. (:
Not very easy to carry the bag.

I tried Fresh Step Simply Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter (25 lb) from PetSmart for about $18 ($0.72 per lb)
and Dr. Elsey's Clean Tracks Clumping Clay Cat Litter (40 lb) for about $26 with shipping and tax ($0.65 per lb).

At first glance, the second option seemed cheaper.
But the litter consumption was much worse, and cleaning the litter box was terrible.

I prefer to pay a little more for Fresh Step, buy less often, and save time on cleaning.

My older indoor/outdoor cat prefers to pee in a litter box with shredded redwood mulch and use clumping clay litter for poop. One bag of mulch lasts at least three months.
I am buying this mulch at Lowe's Home Improvement in Fremont.
