Glad there's no medical cause (although I suppose that makes it harder to sort!).  Fingers crossed she likes the Wilkos litter.

Actually, I'll  move this thread to health and behaviour.

I can second that regarding Wilko clumping cat litter


Can I 3rd it. Last year we went to someones house to care for their cat while they were away and my heart sank when I saw the litter, it must have been the only type I had never tried for the cats. I was very impressed and it is one of the very few where we could smell absolutely no urine, when cleaning out the try.

I agree with the other, if you can smell urine after a cat has been neutered/spayed it usually indicates a medical problem.

Fingers crossed for her - it was Pebbles who's only symptom was strong smelling wee, Susanne.
Please spay your cat

For the kittens, I'm now using Tescos recycled paper plup litter. With the two of them chucking the stuff around like confetti, and peeing for England, it's the only thing that balances odour with hoovering success.  :evillaugh:

i dont understand about the chick crumbs . hows that end up been used for litter . luna is a monster wi food wont she eat it  ( is it chick food ????? or chick poo ????? )


LOL!  ;D - Its chicken food, but it works just like clumping cat litter. Mine don't eat it. I don't know how someone first decided it might be useful as cat litter - be interesting to know how they came up with the idea of trying it in the first place! I first heard about it on a US forum - and thought they were all mad, talking about chicken food as cat litter - but curiosity got the better of me, and I tried it and me and the puss cats havent looked back since LOL!

I can recommend Wilkos clumping cat litter ... it really keeps the smell down and clumps excellently

I can second that regarding Wilko clumping cat litter - it might say "economy" on the bag, but it really works a treat. I've been using it for years and it doesn't stick on feet or get tracked around. And it does a brill job of keeping the niffy pongs down too.

you know the clumping .....i tried it before and it is good cause you can remove the wee and then it doesnt smell but as mango has long hair it was sticking to her feet
i wonder if differnt clumping litters are all different

I don't find the clumping too bad for sticking to persian feet - like Worlds Best - or, of course my  favourite 'famous' chick crumbs! But some of the grey clumping ones that I tried were awful for sticking to 'hairy persian' feet!

I use clumping and it doesnt stick to Mosi's feet.  I use the golden grey stuff from zooplus now as it's cheaper than what I was using.  I find it has good odour control.

I remember Desley saying that with one of hers (Tom?) sometimes the only symptom that he displayed when he had cystitis was stronger smelling urine.

yes, the crystals should not be smelling after a couple of days, even with a couple of cats using them. Seems like it may be a medical problem that only the vet can solve ...

I think now its warmer, the smell is more noticable but probably worth a check. not very nice  :sick:

If it isn't medical, you could try the simple solution litter tray freshener. It works the same way as the spray. you just spray a bit in the tray and mix it up. It says there is enough to do 60 treatments, for about £5 in PAH I think.

I would take her to the vets for a check up and if everything is OK I can recommend Wilkos clumping cat litter ... it really keeps the smell down and clumps excellently

Strong smelling wee could be a symptom of a UTI so like Bertie's mum says, it could be a medical problem.  I'd take Mango to the vets if you think it's her to check that out.

Is this a recent thing?  Just wondering if she could have a medical problem that's causing the smell?
