Cat litter - 4 indoor only cats

catylulu89

I use Bob Martin cat litter... I get in from Asda online delivery.. it's 20L and it costs about £5.... I bought some at the end of November 2010 and last week I bought a new bag for the first time... It lasts for ages!

My cat really loves this cat litter, sometimes I swear she just stands in it for the feeling on her feet when I put new stuff in the tray!

I think it's worth a try!

have you tried chick crumbs? its really good to use as a litter, its really cheap too. about £7 for a 25kg bag. its highly absorbent and flushable. Find in farm stores or by searching for "farmgate chick crumbs" its actually a chick food but smells lovely and malty so keeps odours low, I use it for all my litter trained pets! It lasts ages and isnt wasteful.

I use this too

CheeseCat - thanks, I was just thinking my cats poo and pee for England and wondered how people manage to scoop once or twice per day and use so little litter... I seem to be scooping all day long every few minutes and half of the litter box content is out in 2 days max... even if I fill it in really deep....

Feed them less and hide the water...:rotfl:

If you feed your cats 50-75% dried food there will be alot less `doings' in the tray solids & liquids =:beer: simples & don't even think if hiding the water:eek:

I was joking about hiding the water of course LOL

3 out of 4 eat dry food but Fred will not touch it, not even treats and I got so many flavours - 3 east it and Fred just sits there and looks... no way he will touch anything dry.

So they get half a tin between them in the morning and half a tin in the evening, really this is not much wet food for 4 cats so mostly dry really....

Filled both trays to about 10cm depth now and the litter STILL sticks to the bottom of the tray while it clumps....

Sometimes I feel like those people that look for gold, with the scoop shifting through the granules.....shaking the scoop.....

LOL

I discovered u do get what u pay for & recommend Burns Dried & bozita tetra packs wet (mine are getting a treat soon as Petsupermarket are having a sale atm) or Aniconda Carni. When I fed mine Felix & Go-cat there were ALOT more nasty niffs & `stuff' to dispose of!

Try using Aldi's clumping. It's £1.79 for 10L, and it b far the cheapest I've ever found.

How much do yours kick? You could try putting a couple of sheets of newspaper or a cheap litter tray liner at the bottom of the tray. If you're available to scoop alot don't put much litter in, 1-2 cms. The more you put in, the more waste there will be when you scoop IMO.

I have 1 litter tray and 2 indoors cats. I go through about 5L of litter per week (one Aldi bag lasts me a fortnight.) I scoop it twice daily, and whenever I see they've been. Every other day I let them go then scoop out all the remaining litter, take it into the bathroom and wash it. I fill it up in the bath with the shower then empty it into the toilet - that was you don't get any litter in the bath.

They do have animoda carny right now - they seem to prefer PAH own though for some reason..hmmmmm

Burns dry I did have, no interest from them at all. Gt Taste of the Wild now (mixed with Go Cat as had a lot of that at home, waiting for the Go Cat to finish).

They kick a lot, right to the bottom. 5 litre bag lasts like 3 days - between 2 trays and 4 cats...

Ok, off to scoop AGAIN LOL

And I wash the boxes the same way - they are too big to do it any other way.. they are the size of a baby bath LOL

And 1 bag of thise one, for research purpose....

I've been using this litter with two indoor cats for almost 6mths now and it's the best one I've ever used, highly recommended!! :j

It clumps beautifully and is also biodegradeable so can go on compost heap or even be flushed down the toilet! The medium sized bag (10litres) costs £7-£8 and lasts me around 6 weeks with 2 cats. The tray is filled deep and I just scoop out the clumps and faeces then top it up 2-3 times a week.

Hi Folks

I am new to this forum, but felt you may like to know the cat litter I use. I have has Siamese cats for many years now and have tried so many different litters, but the best on I have found is a 'fullers earth' type. It isn't like sand but granulated. There are several on the market but the best value is "So-Kleen" by Petex. But do be careful, Petex make a more expensive litter under the Petex name, but to very honest it is no different to the on I have mentioned.
Any Pet Shop should be able to order from their suppliers.
I have two cats now and clean their tray twice a day and a 20kg bag lasts me a whole month for about £7.30. And it does clump well.
Hope that helps.:)
