The straight and narrow is, well, hmmm, very narrow indeed

plus I usually sprinkle some bicarb in the trays every day, works pretty well.

Good tip for folk with indoor cats :money:

After a week's trial, I have decided to abandon the super cheap litter option! The cats didn't mind and changing it fully every other day did work on the smell front but... 1) the stuff weighs a ton, especially when you've got a bin bag full of the "used" litter and as I'd need 80 litres of the cheapo stuff per month, it's a lot to cart around 2) the amount of dust when it's poured into the trays is incredible, it looks more like rubble from a building site that's been ground down than cat litter :rotfl: and 3) it turns into a horrible mess at the bottom of the tray really quickly - think mud - as it's not very absorbent (either that or my cats pee a lot :rotfl: ) shame cos that would have saved me a fair bit every month ah well...

Soooo trying something else now... I know I'd normally go through around 40 litres of Catsan a month, at a cost of just over £16. I've bought 7.5kg of World's Best for £15, according to the blurb that should last 2 cats around 35 days... so will see, even if it last a month instead of 35 days, that'd work out very slightly cheaper, but is far less hassle. If that works, I'll try Oko's next cos it's a bit cheaper than World's Best but they'd run out at the shop when I went lol

Other than that, I had to put some petrol in the car (£25) and had to get stuff from Boots but paid with points so no spend there

I'd never really thought about it like that, but now you mention it, it was probably a terrible idea for the environment too. If everyone whose cat used a litter tray sent a bin bag of gravel to landfill once a month we'd run out of country even sooner than it looks like we will with our rising population

Money saving's great, but so is not being killed by avalanches of kitty litter!
