I use Arm and Hammer super scoop. I used Fresh Step but the perfume was awful IMO for me and kitty. Then I went to a non-clumping but Urine built up quickly in the bottom (since you can't scoop pee) and the ammonia smell really got to me and I didn't like the idea of pee sitting in there so I went to cat's pride. It didn't control odors very well and did not clump as hard as I'd like. So now I use the Arm and Hammer super scoop, no scent, and it is great.
As for raw feeding, I am not a fan of pre-made just because of price and because a lot of companies add fruits and veggies etc. It's still better than dry food though.
I like the prey model raw diet. Throughout one week your cat's diet should consist of ABOUT 80% meat 10% bone (though you can do less depending on how your cat handles the bone, if he gets constipated feed less bone, some people only do 3-5%), 5% liver and 5% non-liver organ. This is over a week because you don't feed all those things every day. Some days you'll feed just meat with no bone or organs and some days just a raw meaty bone but everything should been in the diet in a week.
Most people recommend you start off by feeding about 2% of your cat's body weight a day (in ounces) and then adjust as necessary with your cat's hunger and weight.
