Oh Elaine, you are soooo funny!

I don't flush because the litter ( I use clay) adheres to the, erm, deposit, and I'm afraid that over the years it might clog up the toilet......I think I read that many years ago, it may not be true, but I don't flush just in case.....

When I catsat for Carolyn she had me use plastic bags also rather than flushing .....

Yes, I'd consider using biodegradable. I do have quite a few litter tray changes per week here though, so yes, cost has to be a consideration.

Well I have industrial-sized supplies of nappy sacks because I have a prolific nappy-user in Sebastian! I'm very guilty inasmuch as use disposable nappies and (at the moment) non-biodegradable sacks for both baby and cats.

I DID use the eco ones early on with Dominik but they are so very much more expensive and they were so weak they hardly held a nappy let alone a full bag of clay litter.

I too am nervous about flushing clay litter due to it's expanding properties - and I'm nervous about changing the litter to a flushable one as I've got enough problems with them parking their bums all over the house without giving them added reason

Thanks for that Yola. I knew they were more expensive from my investigations, but of course, you can't know how good they are without trying them. I think they are made out of some sort of starch, so can't be that strong but if they're not "fit for purpose".... Well - that's that good idea out the window!

I use a clean green dog loo, you put it in the ground in the garden fill it with bioactivator it digests waste naturally in the ground no need for all the bags.

I used one of these with my dog, but the stink is horrendous when you take that lid off!!! Worked well I must admit, but dont think it would work with cat poo as it has the litter stuck to it, so would clog up the drainage holes!

You can get compostable bin bags from Sainsburys now.

I flush the poo (and wee clumps) when I scoop it out and when I do a full clean out every other day I bin it all in a black bin bag. I use cat's best which is flushable but I use too much litter to flush it all. I actually used to use biodegradable bags for the dog poo when I had just the one dog but now I have 3 and it costs what? £8-9 for 100 bags compared to £1 for 100 normal bags on a roll and even cheaper for nappy sacks, even at maybe double the price of normal bags i'd consider it but not at 10x the price unfortunately as I do go through a lot of them.
