    see they've now got the Micro Fresh back in :wall: (just for you GR;))

    D

    Was away for few days *(work) - got to see that..

    I thought you said they stopped it al togeher//???

    You mean this one micro fresh white?

    http://www.zooplus.co.uk/esearch.htm#q=biocat

    1) not available (truck symbol)
    2) no more offeres for 2 bags

    grrrrrrrrrrr
  • Yup GR that one

    It did come back in ..... very briefly tho':(

    Obviously everyone who used the other one panicking and buying it before it disappears too!

    I quite like the look of the GG (not opened yet) BUT 14kg is quite a lot less than 14L in the Biokats so it's still unfortunately more expensive (even if having to fork out for the £20 BK rather than the one that was around £15)

    I may try to get some of the fresh stuff if it comes in again (it let me do a "product back in stock" email notification thing so fingers crossed)

    The GG can go into the emergency winter store - more than happy to give the horrid BK to the rescue!

    RFTA - remember that although the bag seems small, I never noticed any difference in "usage" between the 2 brands.

    As I said before, with 4 cats I was going through 2 bags of GG or 2 bags of Biocat, same.

    See hoe you go ;)

    13th October. Opened new bag of GG, spread whole bag between 2 massive trays (my cats are good like that, sharing trays).

    Have not used GG for ages, a bag of Biocat was lasting me 10 days with current 6 cats so will see. Same bag of Biocat was lasting me 2 weeks 914 days) with my 4 boys alone but with the girls 10 days.

    If GG lasts 10 days - will be great.

    How is everyone else doing with GG?
  • I started using GG today.......my eldest kitten thinks it's something to play in. He spends ages swatting all the litter out on to the floor :( :mad: I'm sure using the closed litter tray again will solve this though.

    I like the scent and the clumping but I'm not sure I like that it gets walked out onto the floor with the kitties.
    I have a simple philosophy:
    Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

  • I'm still on the Biokats (complete change last week)

    Not sure whether to let it run down or top up with GG when I need to

    TBH might try the top up as I've not really anything to lose (if I try just a little bit) as I'd end up having to bin all the BC if I can't which seems a huge waste

    I'm loving it. Even though the bags are smaller it seems to be lasting around the same length of time. Both cats are happy using it and it's a lot easier to clean out as the wee's stay in one large clump where as the biokat used to break up sometimes.

    Does seem to track a little more but that's partly down to Gitmo standing in the litter tray the wrong way so he kicks some of it out. I've put a runner down that I got from the market for £10 which seems to catch most of it.
  • Lisajane which one did you get

    The Master one same as GR?


    Having a HUGE debate now - see that horrid weather's forecast for November :eek: so wanting to get an extra supply in now (would usually wait another month or so before ordering but ....) & they've got the Biokats Micro Fresh back in (the white one) so now don't know which to get:o

    Ohhh - I got refunded for the horrid BC male stuff (that I've agreed with Zoo+ that I can donate to my local cat rescue :T - sure they won't mind!)

    OK - have used it before but not for a longgg time.

    came home today after all day at work and.. no smell - wohoooooooooooo

    Lots of ermmm deposits but no stink.

    So I guess GG beats Biocat here.

    Also, yes it froms harder lumps and does not break (just do not try to take the "deposits" out too soon. So again - beats Biocat.

    We are staying with GG ;)

    I did order the master as recommended by GR. That's brilliant that you can donate it, I bet they'll be over the moon.
