Cat litter problems - wood pellets

Hello,

I have a small kitten - 3,5 months. She uses litter just fine and I used sillicone litter for 2 weeks because that's what breeder used.

Now then... my cat REFUSES to go into the sillicone litter after 2 days and pees outside looking into my eyes deeply, clearly sending me signals to exchange the whole litter, so that's what I do... I can't really scoop out pee as it's non clumping, just poop, so I need to replace the whole thing every 2 days - on the box it says it should last waaay longer, but tbh I'm not surprised at my cat behaviour... The yellow wettish litter at the bottom is quite disgusting :P No wonder she doesn't like to touch it.

​

So I researched and read that it's not that safe to use clumping litter with kitten that small and the only available non clumping litter besides sillicate I found near me is wood pellets.

I bought the sifting litter box and wood pellets. I read pellets will turn to dust when wet and just sift through to the drawer at the bottom. She used the pine litter as fast as I placed it down and peed into it. Now the problems I faced are:

1. My kitten tries to eat the wood pellets... I'm not sure how safe it is and how do I teach her to not do that? Maybe I should just throw away this litter? Why would a cat try to eat wood pellets is beyond me.
2. It seems the pee just flies through the pellets and what lands in the drawer is a little bit of dust and quite a big portion of urine. Is that how it's supposed to be? I imagined there to be mainly dust + maybe some wet spots, but after one pee its like 90% of the pee fluid content is in the bottom drawer. I put like good half of my finger litter into the box , like 4-5cm. Am I doing something incorrectly? I used Cat's Best Universal Litter as it seems the best reviewed one of the avaiable ones in my country.

Thanks for reading through. I am hoping there is someone here who can answer my questions :)
