Re: Cat litter


I posted a cat litter question when I first joined Catsey and I swapped to Catsan and I found it to be the best.

Re: Cat litter


You'll probably find your two have less problems swapping to Catsan if you mix it with your old brand to start with Matt and gradually increase the Catsan component.

Re: Cat litter


Catsan hasn't been working well for me.

It doest last as long as worlds best and seems to get everywhere round the house, I keep standing on massive white rocks all over the house.

Think I'm going to go back to worlds best.
Keeps smells away, doesn't go everywhere and probably cheaper as it lasts longer.

Re: Cat litter


I too use pettex. It's clay-based and clumping so any 'matter' is wrapped in the grit and the smell is suppressed and then easy to scoop out. Mine never got on with catsan either - they found it too light - it was always all over the floor!

It's about £5.25 for a 10KG bag but that's from an expensive local pet shop - £3.50 from www.pettex.co.uk Of course it still gets kicked out of the tray but I don't find it goes everywhere.

I think it's about experimenting with what works for the girls and for your pocket!

Re: Cat litter


I use any wood pellet based cat litter, they're pretty much all the same. Chole seems to like it, it smells of pine, is sustainable and biodegradeable

Re: Cat litter


Hi matt.

I used to use Oko plus:

http://www.petplanet.co.uk/product.a...518&pf_id=7096

It's much like cats best in how it works but I found it tracked a lot and stuck to my long haired cat. I then found the same company do a one for longhaired cats:

http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/cats/c...ats_best/43107

This is a different shape (looks like the pellets of a wood based) and is good for tracking, and great value, i'd definitely recommended it and especially to other long haired cat owners too.
