Do you have sand? that's what the kitties would be using outside if they had it. I would get some of that too if you can-if you cannot use newspaper or anything else. You can make a scratching post or use cardboard-they have stuff like that for sale on-line-if you can have stuff delivered. Or maybe you can get a piece of tough carpet and attach it to something and gently show the kitty how to use it. When I got my kitties home, I scratched the post with my hands and they kind of caught on-don't force their paws, but like showing them how to hide their potty stuff in the litter box, gently brush their paw over the surface. good luck!

Right now I use a baking pan [aluminim foil or regular one that is about an inch and a half high, you can use a lasgana pan] and newspaper along with shredded paper.

I put the newspaper down to cover the bottom and then I cover it with the shredded paper so my kitten gets used to covering what she pees on. I do change it often, probably 3 or 4 times a day, but it's a lot safer than clumping litter never use this at the age she is if she is younger than 1-2 months since she may eat it. But the sand does sound good, but like paper it will have to be changed often. I feel that it may not be a very good litter replacement though since it may get in her eye or stuck somewhere she can't get it off, at least with paper it doesn't stick nearly as well.
