Re: What kind of litter??!!


I use the pressed wood 'pellet' type. It smells nice and it's easy to see when it needs changing as it turns back to sawdust when wet.
On the down side, I believe it can be a bit hard on their feet and (this probably applies to all litters) my monster does spill it (or bring it out on her feet) sometimes.
If I was starting afresh with a cat who would use the tray all the time ( a new 'indoor' cat) I would investigate the 'everlasting' litter/tray system. I don't know enough about that now.

Not much help, but I'm always happy to natter!

You'll probably be none the wiser Sam...as so many different ones were discussed but it'll give you an idea and something to base your decision on

Just wanted to say ( coz I didn't contribute to the other thread), that I have always used Pettex and find the clumping function brilliant. It doesn't produce too much dust and doesn't tend to stick to the cats' feet.

I tried the pink stuff once or twice and it ended up everywhere!!
