    Does anyone know how the bulk buy of oko plus from zoo plus or pet supermarket comes? Is it 1 huge bag or is it 3 10L bags(pet supermarket 30L or 4 10L bags(zoo plus 40L)

    Me and my colleague are interested in going halves on a bulk buy and would be easier to be in 10L bags does anyone know?

    They both come in huge bags, not smaller 10L ones.

    Rising - they do track but minimal compared to Oko or Tigerino. And not so visible.

    I do not think there is a litter that does not track at all

    I agree! I used to use a fine clay-based litter before the Bengals came along but changed to OKO for two reasons - (1) Lula will sit in the litter tray and play for hours with fine clay based ones, something I'm obviously not keen for her to do; and (2) clay based litters are much more harmful to the environment than natural based ones like OKO due to the way they are sourced.

    Even though I had less cats when using clay, I still found it tracked and to me it was slightly more annoying because it was finer and therefore tended to stick to things more. To say there are now 2 additional cats in the house who use the trays rather than do their business outside, I personally have not found that OKO tracks more than the clay based! Perhaps it's just my cats, but I never find litter all over the house, just in the immediate vicinity of the trays ;)

    Friday - as with wood based.. one is not same as other. Same with clay based and Golden Grey as well as Biocat are both excellent

    mmmmmm the thing with the wood pellets, is that as they're so big they fall off the cats feet pretty quickly and I never found it outside the room where their trays are :)..... but it's not economical to use and things aren't buried :(

    That's my worry Friday ..... I think it would be even worse finding sand type stuff in my bed!:eek:

    mmmmm well I need to give something a try ..... think it'll be the Biokat but from memory Zoo+ need a signature on delivery which is a pain as I'd need to get it delivered to DMs again - can anyone confirm if they'll leave without a signature?

    When I'm not in, all my Z+ orders (and anything else) get left on my doorstep if it's not raining and if the neighbours are out. Not had anything go missing yet in 15 years of living here and LOTS of parcels being delivered ;)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I've not had problems with anything going missing either - it's just some companies refuse to leave it if no-one's in.

    Have ordered some Biokat (better be good GR!;)) and some new bowls for them all (50% clearance offer on and they really do need replaced as had them a long time).

    Now wondering if I should've chosen the 50p option for PF (as if it's the usual guy, I know he will leave it) mmmmm nothing I can do about it now!

    Someone posted on here recently that they had chosen the 50p PF option but was not actually charged the 50p, but did get it delivered by PF! Both Yodel and PF will leave stuff on my doorstep, I suppose it depends on the driver?
