Litter advice please


I know this has been covered, but this is a bit more specific. I love using clumping litter, but three of them all use the same tray and I was taking so much out every day it didn't seem worth it. So, I decided to swap, but this is where my problem is. I can't use woodbased, as Ginger uses behind the TV when I do, I have tried Sophisticat, and it was OK, but not really great, I have tried Kitty Dry, which is a cheaper version of Sophisticat and isn't that good on odours, I was given Bio-Catolet for the foster kittens and didn't like it. So am wondering which one to go for next - I want something that I can scoop three times a day and clean out once a week, and is good on odour control - not sure about Worlds Best in case Ginger dislikes it as much as wood based (although he rarely uses a tray). This is what Smylees Offer (have taken out hwat I have already tried)
NATURE CAT GOLD
BEAUTICAT
SUPERSAN
PETTEX
CATS PRIDE SCENTED
YESTERDAY NEWS
ULTRA
Mayfield Fullers Earth Litter
Mayfield Lightweight Litter
Catsan
Thomas
Bob Martin litter Crystals
Silica gel Crystals
I have never even heard of some of them, never mind know what they will be like!! I have e-mailed them in case they can help.

Re: Litter advice please


I use yesterday's news and find that great my breeder uses this so I thought'd I'd try haven't looked back since - I use the lemon secented one -I find it good on odour control - as soon as they pop I scoop - and complete change one a week -

I found Thomas smelly - I did like world's best but it is too expensive

Re: Litter advice please


Here, once again, is the link to the 'never use litter again' site. Love that video! http://www.citikitty.com/index.htm
I'll be able to give feedback on it in a few months, once my baby kittens are home and I've got them trained (maybe)

I can't wait to see how you get on with this DM!


I use Asda's lightweight cat litter, I love it and haven't looked back since I started using it

Re: Litter advice please


I have used Co-op Lightweight Cat Litter and didn't like it - plus it stained their paws. The main prob I have with cat litter is I dont' drive, hence wanting one I can get from an online supplier, as I can have it delivered along iwth the cat food. Am going to try Yesterdays News this month, unless the supplier or someone else comes up with something better before tomorrow.

I also tried a wood pellet based one - which I blought from the vets - it was really weired all you could smell was wood after they had peed - well better than P. smell - but I find yestedays news the best - yep give it ago - you won't be disappointed

I even found catsan a bit whiffy -

Re: Litter advice please


I tried pratically every litter, and have settled on Catstan, I think it lasts longer, and mask's the smell....
