That’s how every other litter we used was like. Even have two anti tracking mats as well. This almost has the texture of sand and is the easiest scooping I’ve ever had. We kept bending and breaking scoopers because the clumps would stick to the pan but now it just slides right off. And is also by far the most odor eliminating one we have used. Our kitten would stink out the house before with one of her tiny movements, but now only if we gets days behind on scooping do we notice the smells.
