What litter for my blind senior cat with balance and clumping paws?

Question

I have 2 older kitties. One is 18, has had 2 strokes over the summer and he is blind. He has issues with his balance now and with getting in and out of the litter box, therefore when he gets in the litter box he tends to pee right there, then immediately turns around and gets his paws in it and it clumps in his paws. I constantly scoop after both cats because of this, but it is an issue for him when no one is here to clean it off right away, and it hardens in his paws, what pellet can we use?

A peat/soil based or sawdust based pellet is less likely to stick to his paws, you can also try using only a bare scattering of litter over newspaper but this would then need emptying at least twice daily
