Hello! My sweet five-year-old girl was just diagnosed with asthma after a couple rounds to the ER this year where they discovered the beginnings of pneumonia. Since pneumonia is not common in cats, she got lots of antibiotics and it’s been a whole saga, figuring out exactly what it was. The latest x-ray showed inflammation of her bronchioles, which is classic asthma sign.

As we are trying to adjust her surroundings to make it easier on her, one of my questions was what would be a good cat litter for her. We tend to use natural cat litters, because they have less dust like Grass seed or walnut shell but curious if folks with asthmatic cats have specific recommendations for cat litter. We also don’t do candles or incense or anything like that.

Have not discovered her triggers yet, but will probably start to track to see if we can identify some of them. She’s doing so much better on flucatisone steroid 1-2x per week, and seems to be almost a different cat entirely in terms of her energy.

EDIT: thank you all so much!! So many great recommendations. We have tried pellets but both our cats seem very sus on the pellets, so I think we will explore the other options for now!
