I have visions of you (and / or) DH hiding round a door or something to make sure you don't miss anything!:rotfl:

DH is away at the moment (work) so it's just me with plenty of time on my hands :rotfl: Actually, I didn't see who did the wee! I'm guessing it was Harry because I was playing with Spot and Lula upstairs when it happened; Friday doesn't appear to have moved from her snoozing place and Robbie did a wee not long afterwards (in the OKO). It could have been Spot, though, as there was a spell where I was just playing with Lula as he had wandered off.... the plot thickens and I will report from the scene as soon as there is any more news.

No more news yet on the wee/poo front...

**** BREAKING NEWS **** I'VE MADE MY MIND UP ALREADY!!

Well, we've had another two wees in the Tigerino and one poo.

One wee in the OKO.

I left it for ages this time. The poo was OK, as you would expect, as it doesn't clump and is just a matter of scooping out (unless runny which my cats' poos thankfully aren't) (apologies if that was too much information )

The clumping of the wees, though, is no way near as good as OKO. I can't be doing with faffing with having 5 cats, one scoop to get the wee out is what I want but is not what I'm getting with this litter. Also, it is dustier than OKO - though I'm not sure if that's because it's inherently dustier or it's because I'm disturbing the litter more as I'm needing to do more scoops.

Tracking I would say is marginally better on the Tigerino, judging by what is in my litter tray mats, though that is not a huge benefit to me as most of the tracking goes into said mats and not onto floor.

So I will of course finish off the Tigerino, it's not unusable, but unless something significantly changes, I shan't be buying any more.

Tomorrow is the big test as I said before, so perhaps it will do better then.

LOL

LOL

Well, I have of course got a mixed tray of Tigerino and Oko so it is harder to judge for me.....
Also...to complicate matters...does anyone else find that some cat's pee clumps better than others? I have scooped 2 perfect, hard wee-muffins and one crumbly one this morning.

I received mine last Thursday (very quick on the 50p extra using parcel force i think?)

Have 9 cats using it right now. I agree with fridaycat, it doesn't clump as well. I don't like it as much as Oko but it looks identical and feels the same - won't know about how good it masks smells until next week I'd say. Oko was really good at staying smell free for ages.

Well, I'm back now after being out all day from 05:15 to 18:00. So all three litter trays used a lot as you would imagine.


Putting the poo aside as that just scoops out and is comparable for both, I will just discuss the wee.

The Tigerino was used more than the OKO - had 3 or 4 wees, compared to 2 wees in the downstairs OKO. But the OKO took 2 scoops to get the 2 wees out, the Tigerino around 5 - 6 to get 3 - 4 wees. I'm not being precise as it is difficult to count the wees when they break up.

Tracking-wise, they are both about the same.

Overall, it isn't an awful product and I'm not regretting buying it, but I definitely prefer the OKO. On the other hand, the Tigerino is quite a bit cheaper even at non-offer price, so is it worth paying more for slightly more convenience? Mmmm... I'm not sure, so I'll see how I get on over the next few weeks....
