Our bins are collected once a fortnight and if anyone leaves an extra sack by the side of the bin, the collecters refuse to take it..  Just imagine how that could build up if you have to wait another two weeks before it's collected! I suppose the only other alternative is to take extra rubbish to the local tip yourself..http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/7069126.stm |

We use a recycled paper based litter called Bio Catolet - it can be composted and soaks up moisture and dries out cat poo really well and is minimal smell. It's also lightweight and you don't need all that much of it in the tray at one time. Most supermarkets sell it as well as pet stores etc - Tesco definately do cos that's where we buy it. Here is a link about it's properties : http://www.midas-products.co.uk/biocat.htm |

I used to use World's Best Cat Litter and it was fantastic as it could be flushed away. The price was the put off. Although I was in the breeders club and got it discounted you had to buy so much to get the discount and I don't have the room to store all of it never mind pay out £150 an order for litter. I don't use it anymore but would love to be able to go back to it. |

Grete - thanks for hint about Bio Catolet - that may certainly answer part of my particular problem. Thanks for all comments. I am still smiling, thinking about cats being trained to use the loo! |

Hi Yola - thanks for the link! Amazing - not sure whether my OH would appreciate sharing the loo with the cat! And I'm afraid my old boy (cat not hubby!) would find the change too much to cope with at his time of life. Would be fun to try with a younger mog - who knows for the future. Many thanks. |

Just to let you know - as I was looking for info on Bio-catolet, I came across this product, not yet available in UK evidently but looks promising. http://www.aminews.co.uk/products/ami_sand.htm (Not sure if we're allowed to put in links, but seeing as others do?????) |

That Ami Sand does look interesting - hope they can get it for the UK eventually. Thanks for the link Angie  |

Sounds really good. I will try it when it gets here. It did say in the link it would be here late 2007 so not that much longer to wait I guess. I just hope the price is reasonable. |

I loved reading the kitties diary of loo training! How are they going now? I am shortly to be adopting two youngsters and would love to be able to give toilet training a go. I am also very interested in the litter discussion, as the cats currently use covered litter trays with "yesterdays news" litter (I know nothing about it, but the lady who gets it locally is a breeder, who also does some breed rescue work). I foster a pair of rabbits, and their poo and used hay goes into my compost heap. They are litter trained, (they use 2 open trays); the trays are lined with newspaper to absorb urine and well covered with hay which they munch on whilst toileting! I guess if there are cat litters that can be composted, I would choose to use one of them. Alison x |
