I have this. It's fine for what it is, but don't expect your house to suddenly become litter-free outside of the litter box. Your cats will still track it off the mat when they dig through the litter, jump in and out of the box, or picking up bits from the mat.

This is why I switched to horse bedding pellets from Tractor Supply. Not only is it way cheaper than the clumping stuff but it also keeps the house clean and dust free. I'd never go back to the old litter.

Did you find, and can you recommend a good video or site to get cats to switch to that? Repped in advance.

There's a bunch of good videos on YouTube about how to train your cat to use pine pellets. It's been almost a decade for me but the way I remember doing it was by adding a bit of pellets to the litter box each week until eventually it was all pellets and no litter.
Initially I tried all pellets, no litter, and it was a complete disaster. She just started peeing wherever and we almost gave up. So my advice is to definitely go slow and just have patience. This is a case where it will probably take months to see results, but the ends totally justify the means.
Also, you'll want to have a second identical litter box so you can stack them, one inside the other. Drill a bunch of holes at the bottom of the inner box so that the sawdust from the used pellets can fall through to the bottom box for easy cleanup later.
Believe it or not, I actually got the idea to make the switch from someone in the comment thread for a SD on the clumping litter I used to use lol. It would have otherwise never crossed my mind. Good luck if you end up trying it. We have absolutely no regrets!

If you're asking about the horse bedding pellets made of pine, it's about $6 for a 40 lb bag where I live. Depending on your location, it can be even cheaper. There's a TSC store about 25 mins away from me that sells it for $5 and some change.

They seem to be all about the same "quality"
I would probably go with a silicone one instead of this plastic rubber that seems to stick to the floor and disinegrate.
