It's worth a shot to see if it is just the brand rather than the litter format. As cats can be picky about litter types, be sure to do a gradual changeover to the new litter to prevent Olivia from avoiding it or using elsewhere to go potty. A litter mat outside of the box may also help wipe her feet and fur some, reducing the spread throughout the house.

You could try a corn or wheat based litter like World's Best Cat Litter or Swheat Scoop, or a wood litter like Okocat if you want to avoid clay litter. You could also try a clay based low dust litter like Dr. Elsey's. Even though she is used to pellets the transition to a clay litter could be fine - I'd start by putting out a litter box with the new litter while still keeping the old one and if she starts using the new one take the old one away.

Feline Pine and Yesterday's News are both more "pellet-like" options. I actually like these two brands a lot as they have the added benefit of not containing any additives or chemicals. Good luck! Thanks for asking Boop by Petco!

While there is no scientific literature stating that clumping litter is not safe for kittens under 3-4 months, it is something where kittens the young are more curious and may eat it. I would introduce clumping litter after 3-4 months and before that you can use non clumping litters. You can also use the Tidy cats breeze system, which has pellets instead of litter. https://www.chewy.com/s?query=Breeze&query2=Tidy+Cats&rh=brand_facet%3ATidy+Cats&gclid=CjwKCAiA9rjRBRAeEiwA2SV4ZZGRCuV_aF9_QmHa53nyRcwsuSgid-XwU6FgjAm95WHLhxDE7KJp1hoC4F8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds I would stay away from the biodegradable clumping litters also because if ingested it can cause intestinal upset. Not all kittens will ingest litter but it is something to be cautious about. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

A peat/soil based or sawdust based pellet is less likely to stick to his paws, you can also try using only a bare scattering of litter over newspaper but this would then need emptying at least twice daily
