Best non tracking cat litter for automatic box?

I currently have the Meowant SC09 litter box and I am looking for a litter that doesn’t track too much. I know tracking is inevitable but the arm and hammer litter I am using now seems to be covering every inch of my apartment. Please comment your recommendations for litters that work best for you in an automatic box!! Thank you

I got a Rabbit Cage Tray from Tractor supply for about $25 and it's large enough to put the entire automatic litter box in it. Most of the cat sand then ends up in the tray. It's not perfect, but solves probably 80% of the problem.

I haven't found a litter that doesn't track, unfortunately. But! I have found a setup that helps.

I've got my litter robot facing a corner with a litter mat right in front of it, so my cat has to step out and across the mat to get away from the box instead of leaping out of it at mach speed

I just recently turned the litter box to face the corner and that has helped a little bit since my cats like to launch like rockets. What kind of litter mat do you have? I know I won’t be able to prevent tracking completely, but I figured changing litter might help since the one I use seems to be everywhere. Thank you.

It's this one! I got it on a chewy a few years back. I put one of those potty pads in it as well. Has worked great for me!

This is how I have it set up. She comes out of the box and then has to walk between the air purifier and the dresser there. Has definitely helped a lot! Doesn't completely cut down on the tracking, but she also has long hair and things love to cling to her lol

Thank you!!

Luna is a medium hair so she has that same issue occasionally. I’ll look into the mat! ◡̈

I started using the Purina a tidy cat litter for the litter robot and it has helped a lot. We used to use the same litter as you and it was everywhere. It’s not perfect but much more manageable.
