    Well its not working, i've tried everything except buy a bigger litter tray.

    does anyone think that might be worth trying?

    Have you moved the position of the tray, or is it too close to his food maybe?

    Or has anything changed in your household - stress can upset house training?

    Nothing has been changed, the tray is on the opposite side of the room to his food, he used to use it fine, he's a 2 year old cat.
    :p PinkPunkBird :p
  • I have to use 2 types of litter for my cat, the woodchip on the bottom & the Tesco cheapy on top, & it has to be changed every other day or he does it on the floor in protest. Bloody spoilt moggy!!! but we love him :D the great big furry ginger lump! :D

  • And even if he does use the tray he doesnt cover up his poop!!

    I change the litter every other day too.

    I'm getting a Sphinx kitten soon and am wondering what is the best cat litter to use, I've always used clay litter but it's not suitable for a sphinx apparently because of the lack of fur.
    I'm looked at cat litter online but everywhere seems to charge an arm and a leg to deliver the stuff, because of the weight. :(
    I've heard about using poultry feed as litter, I wonder if this is any good and if it'd mask the smell?
    Can anyone recommend a good but economical cat litter please?
    Thankyou :)

    Keep your newspapers and put them through a shedder...works wonders, and cheap ;)
    Please do not feed the Trolls!
  • Which? reported the best was OKOPLUS not that easy to get hold of but it is excellent stuff.
    I sell it in my shop and every customer who has tried it has moved on to it!
    Help me to help you :santa2:
  • Hi Ive tried LOADS of cat litters but I found OKOPLUS and think its great! Its a clump litter and you can flush it down the toliet (although I dont), its also not the dusty type and I find it doesnt get tread everywhere, its also very dry as any wet patches get rolled into a ball for easy disposal.

    I actually found a small supply at Pets at Home, Chelmsford.
  • CityCat is the best, the crystals. You can get a bag for £2.50 at Wilkos, which lasts a few weeks with my cat.

    Much better than the clumping one.
