Recommended Litter

You are right Stevo Smart cat is better than the other wood pellets as you have said. I have tried so many and none as good.

Unless they have changed again, ASDA pellets were Smart Cat

Nope they haven't changed, just picked up 20 litres of the stuff this morning.  I use half a bag at a time (~5 litre) in the litter tray, loads to go at....  loads to kick all over my spare room floor 

I got the same kind of pellet from Morrisons the other day and it didn't seem half as good as the Asda stuff.  Looked the same but didn't seem to last as long and didn't hold the odour as well.  In my opinion anyway

I agree with oko cats best, it is more expensive, but lasts a LOT longer, is flushable, and if you have a compost bin, compostable too!

Chick Crumb here too - wouldnt use anything else now

I always get the giggles buying Nappy sacks, we stand there discussing which are the strongest and where we got the last lot from. People must think we have a baby that does humungous poos.

I too am a fan of wood pellet litter. It absorbs well, hides odours well and best of all I can compost it or burn it after use. I find that I don't need to change it as often as the clay based ones either.   We use Asda pellets which we just have delivered with our shopping and find it very economical... only disadvantage is that it can track sometimes but no more than other litters.

We use wood pellet on the whole but also have Catsan, Paper pellets and 3 lots of clumping from large to fine grains and 3 empty litter trays for those who don't like anything on their paws and when I first bring ferals in I use nice potting compost

Thanks everyone. They appear to be quite happy wiht CatSan so maybe I will stick to that right now - if it isnt broken etc.... it does track everywhere though!
I'll see how it goes over the next week or so and let you know how i get on.

What are the main advantages/disadvantages of clumping vrs non clumping? or is it mainly human preference?

Just for info, Oko (which Dawn recommend) and Cats Best (which Mymblesdaughter recommend) are the same thing - its called Oko Cats Best and I use it too! On the face of it it might seem really expensive but it lasts so long it actually works out really good value. It's flushable too but I only flush poos and just use nappy sacks to bag the wees. You need to have it nice and deep and you just top the level up every so often. The only negative, as MD said, is the tracking but I keep a carpet sweeper in the room with the trays, plus i have hooded trays and litter tray mats which helps keep on top of it instead of hoovering daily.

I used to use chick crumb (chicken feed believe it or not!), it's very similar to Oko cats best and also worlds best as they're all corn based hence being flushable. I used to get a 20kg sack for £8 from Jollyes but I bet it's gone up by now.

Another fan of chick crumb here. Pets at Home sell it, and delivery is free over £29 so if you bought 5 bags you'd get free delivery.

Same stuff as World's Best cat Litter in my opinion.

I like the clumping stuff. I use Oko which I get from zooplus. I also use chick crumb when I can get hold of it. It does track quite a bit but not a problem for me as I have no carpets.

[Kay and Penny]

I use Golden Grey from Zooplus - very fine texture and excellent at clumping - I never change it all, just keep it really deep and remove the clumps

it never smells and the tracking is better than Cat's Best, because it's heavier

Not a fan of clumping litter and use Smart Cat wood pellets but have to order from a pet shop. Cost currently £11.60 for 30 litres from my pet shop which is 30 miles round trip.

They are the bestest wood pellets

I'm a clumping fan, I use cats best

Hi,

My two moggies are currently using Catsan Hygeine litter which I am changing every day. I was just wondering how often I should be changing it - is every day too much? Im scooping out the poop but obviously their pee is being soaked up in it. I'm trying to avoid spending too much money whilst at the same time want to make sure they have a nice place to go when nature calls so that my sofa doesnt become an alternative!

I was thinking of slowly moving them to a clumping litter - would that be better?

Thoughts, advice and tips much appreciated!
