    PaddyPaws - not really, it seems to be very randon what they offer to whom, no logical rule.

    Glad you got it though :)
  • Just to say I'm absolutely loving the BioKat microfresh litter. I've just been scooping and topping up and it still smells fresh! No stinky smells!
    I have a simple philosophy:
    Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

  • Have to say .... I'm loving the GG more & more - apart from one BIG negative

    It is so easy to clean out (the BK is good but I can't believe how much easier the GG is):T

    Honestly, if your tray is somewhere (cupboard etc) where tracking doesn't matter then this is an absolutely wonderful product :)

    BUT - if not, and tracking does matter then ..... sadly :(

    I'm going to have to take everything out her room tomorrow and give it a good hoover in there as it is all over the room and I certainly couldn't have it somewhere where it wasn't contained as I do think it would end up absolutely everywhere:eek:

    BUT ...... I love it :o

  • I am a very recent clumping litter convert - with 4 cats that are indoor only (they get out with me into communal garden for an hour or so a day but that is all), I was going through masses of cat litter, coming up to like £40-£50 per month.

    Having tested various litters (had a long thread on here) I now stick to MulticatLitter which is around £5.50 per 7kg bag and that bag, with my 4 cats lasts me a whole week. I have an extra large extra deep cat litter box that I empty the whole 7kg bag into and only ick the clumps - believe me with 4 cats I am forever picking those LOL

    I guess for one cat that bag would last you well over a month - for £5.50 it would not be so bad I guess?

    They sell them at Pets at Home, this is the one that I personally buy and swear by now:

    They also do normal (not multi cat) version for the same price:

    The link to the product:

    I too tried Catsan but it was no way as efficient as this one....

    Also tried PAT own brand:

    But that one was only 2 litres (and only a £1 cheaper) so the Clean and Tidy is much more better - more of it, lasts longer.

    All the best


    After reading this entire thread I decided to try out this Clean and Tidy (non multi-cat) litter and I must say I am really impressed!!! Barely any dust, clumps really well so very easy to pick bits out, and no smell whatsoever (apart from the intial stink-bomb of course, but what are you gonna do).

    Thanks for the tip!

    Clrean and Tidy is very good, was getting it before my cat numbers increased ;)

    But also think this way - 19.90 f0r 32 bags of GG. 1bag (so around £10 ) lasts my 6 cats 2 week so the same bag would lasts 1 cat probably 2 months... so under £5.00 per month ;)

    That factor was very tempting I can't lie ;) however I think tracking would be an issue for us as the litter tray is very much out in the open :(

    I didn't like the pong of litter so will continue to use it, hoping the GG granules are larger (zooplus delivery was long & so I couldn't wait & am using up the PAH ultra clumping first).

    Will get a mat for outside the boxes to trap the bits from going further astray - where is cheapest anyone?
  • PAH do a small one for a fiver.

    GG granules are sand like, very small
  • OMG the scoop (have done another order :o) is absolutely enormous:eek:

    I also managed to order the wrong GG so I hope that this one is as good :eek:

    Came home to find box propped up against the garage door (which was unlocked) in the torrential rain :mad: so it is absolutely soaked through (have no idea if litter is salveagable - Yodel usually good here but absolutely:mad::mad:)

    What eejit would carry box around to the garage & then not put it in:mad:

    (polite note on front door "delivery - please leave in garage, thanks" which has always been followed until today)

    Have also ordered a smaller tray for Mia (she doesn't need the ginormous one) - in between size http://www.amazon.co.uk/Catit-Jumbo-Hooded-Litter-Tray/dp/B0057XF6U4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1384970203&sr=8-1&keywords=catit+jumbo+litter+box so hopefully she will get on OK with it & I'll make some savings on litter! (other option was a Bill 2 which was 3cm wider .... but nearly double the price :eek: so not worth it unfortunately)
