Today I learned of the existence of "organic, wheat-based cat litter"

Organic cat litters have the advantage the results can be composted.

They have the disadvantage that they don't control odor well, and when composted smell even worse. So don't try to compost them at home.

Try Smart Cat. It's grass-based, not wheat-based. It controls odor far better than clay-based cat litter.

Only problem I've had with it was when my dog decided that it smelled good enough to eat. Of course, it pulled all the moisture out of the dog's mouth and left it with a stuck-on clump that it couldn't get rid of.

Sounds like grape nuts
That is the most horrible and accurate comment I've read so far today lol
I tried my dad’s grape nuts once and I never felt the gulf between us wide as I did in that moment. WTF, man.
Lots, and lots, of sugar helps.
it's the only breakfast thing I can get my kids to eat that doesn't have sugar in it, besides scrambled eggs & bacon.

When combined with a good tasting milk, I like them quite alot

Not sure if available in the American market, but I had good experiences with Cassava root based ones, though it is expensive.
I was surprised when I walked into a pet store last week to see an aisle cap advertising a new tofu based cat litter.
