If you want no dust then some kind of pellet litter would be best, like corn or pine pellets. My cats hate that texture though, so we had to find one with a similar texture to clay litter. I worked at a pet supply/food store for a couple years and tried a bunch of litters, nothing with a granular texture is truly dust-free, and I found clay litter claims of being “low dust” to be complete bullshit. I settled on Sustainably Yours Large Grain litter, it’s corn based. The large grain really reduces the dust, I get a little bit when emptying the bag but the large grain doesn’t throw dust when they dig around in it. It also clumps pretty well.
My local pet store, but you can find it online. It’s definitely more expensive than clay cat litter, absolutely nothing will be as cheap as clay. My cats have special medical needs though, the dust from even “low dust” litter gives them horrible coughing attacks, so we just have to budget for the more expensive litter.

I have an auto litter box so it has to work with that too, sorry, should have provided that. Im sure they all mostly do
The large grain litter I mentioned should be fine enough for an auto litter box to sift. Definitely not pellets though.
No it wouldn’t. The self cleaning sifter boxes need clumping litter.
The litter I recommended does clump.
So the crystals don’t clump right?
The litter I recommended does clump, not sure about crystal litter.
Where do you buy it?
