Best cheap cat litter?

How similar is gg compared to biokats? I tried biokats once and really didn't get on with It as It just seemed to fly out the tray and stick around in the carpet for ages despite hoovering :mad:
Im currently using oko plus and the no smell is great, so is the flushing away bit i've 3 cats in one flat and its so much better than wood pellet/catsan types. Although it does track a fair way so hoovering needs to be done at least once a day!

Day 10, still no smell (remember, 6 cats.. in a flat, 2 trays ) and still got enough left possibly till Friday....


So overall I suspect a bag of GG will last longer than a bag of Biocat and GG is definitely better at masking/reducing "odours".

Will let you know when this bag is finished for good...

Yay!:T

I'm having to bring Mia home at the weekend (looooooong story and really not good situation:() so thinking I may put GG into her tray and see how it compares to the BC!

I've never had problems with the BC tracking

I have the plastic mat things at the entrances to the trays which catches a lot - like this

And a HUGE litter catcher mat that goes across the whole doorway at the door to [STRIKE]their room[/STRIKE] my study

Like this but without pawprints!

None gets out the room .... at all!

12 days today - will do a complete change on Sunday to make it full 2 weeks.

So 1 bag of GG lasts 2 weeks for 6 cats.

Checked, confirmed hahah

That's pretty good going GR

BUT a lot must depend on the size of tray we're all using


I've just filled Mia's tray with GG to try - and it took just over 1.5 bags (the 14kg ones) to fill it :eek: hopefully the bit that's left keeps it topped up for a while!

Jezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz- - are you using a baby bath as a tray?

Mine are hugeeeeeeeeeeee and I split one bag between the 2 and it lasts 2 weeks.

Those are the ones I have:

I mean my ones are massive and 1 bag fills each half way/dept of the tray- what do YOU use??????

wanted to get one of those but my litter boxes are too big, will not fit

They are enormous - discovered (after Archie had constipation in the really bad winter & hadn't been outside for days:() that he couldn't get in & turn round in my old (normal sized) one - he is very long & it was the only one I could find that was wide enough

Rebox to put the tray in - have you looked at these

http://www.google.com/webhp?client=tablet-android-acer&source=android-home#q=ikea+hacker+litter+box&biv=i%7C2%3Bd%7Cc1EK-SIGrUH37M%3A

Reasonably priced & really easy to cut the hole out & room to store spare litter erc - its only about £35 from memory (huge thread re it on our other forum if you need more info)

Sorry posting links not pics - haven't figured out how to do them from tablet yet:p:o

rising_from_the_ashes

Right - on the lappy now so



It's only 5cm wider than yours but a massive 11cm longer too - my maths is terrible but I *think* that means an extra 55cm of tray to fill which I guess will account for the extra needed :eek: (good job I don't have to do a total empty / refill that often!



Some of these are brilliant: http://www.buzzfeed.com/summeranne/27-useful-diy-solutions-for-hiding-the-litter-box

Oh dear....... I had one of those but could not fit it anywhere in the flat really so swapped for the current ones (got 2 of mine).

Re box, did not want just any box, wanted that particular one from Zooplus.. snif snif

Well there's no hope for finding anything to put my monstrous tray in:eek:
