    Oh, as I said - for my 4 monsters I use a really big litter box, the whole 7 litre bag goes in at once, fills it up to about half it's height:

    Another vote for Catsan here.

    It's more expensive than supermarket brands, granted, but the cats get on with it, and it's the only one we've found which contains the smells. In a flat with indoor cats, that's a big plus - nothing worse than having guests over and a stinky flat!!

    Just revisiting the thread to say that our Oko plus cat litter is still going strong... 2 weeks and counting, with 2 indoor cats. We've topped it up once and there's still some litter in the original 10L bag. I've noticed it's starting to look a little sawdusty (is that a word?!) in the bottom of the tray but that doesn't seem to be affecting the clumpiness or the odour control. I expect we'll get another week out of it - works out about £2.75 per week for 2 cats :)

    We use the pets at home clumping one. It's less than £5 for a 15 litre bag.

    the only think i'd make sure of is that you keep the same sort of litter for him

    our little boy was used to the cheap, gravelly stuff and we got him some expensive stuff, can't remember what it was called but it was like recycled paper. he refused to use it, in fact he meowed in the kitchen for a couple of minutes then widdled on the floor!
    we took great heed of that dirty protest and have used telco or asda value since :) x x

    I use the woodbased pellet litter from Pets @ home for my house rabbit and 2 kittens.

    Just bought some the other day and it was £ 9.99 for a HUGE bag. I'm sure it's normally £8.99 but they had a buy 2 for £18 offer on so I suspect they've put the price up Tesco style:mad:.

    I was using PAT wood pellet ones for years but frankly, it stinks of pee after a day so tried most of the litters out there and althout PAH own clumping was brilliant and so mas multicat - finally settled on this one (click on the img - takes you to zooplus):

    19401_goldengreymasterkatzenstreu_05_2011_1.jpg

    With 4 cats (daughter took 2), 1 bag lasts me good 2 weeks and that is between 3 trays. So with one cat should last well over a month.

    Brilliant clumping, no smell at all, reasonable price for a big bag (14kg) - highly recommended.

    None (I have tried them ALL) of the supermarket brands was any good at all.

    The one above is £11.99 for 14kg and Zooplus's min delivery is £19 so 2 bags and you get free delivery too.

    Winner for me at the moment.
