Just cathing up with this, thanks for the tip Clare I will try mixing it up with some of the other stuff and see if they will start to use it that way.

clarenmax · « **Reply #70 on:** October 12, 2007, 14:53:53 PM »

Did you try and mix some WB in with the existing litter or do a load of new in one tray?

I think they recommend that if your cat won't use it straight away, try to mix it up so they get used to it gradually (obviously just don't flush it down the loo if you have normal litter in there as well)

My two have steadfastly refused to use the World's Best Litter I bought and will only use the upstairs tray that has the bog standard Thomas litter in despite the fact there are two trays downstairs with WB in. I daren't put WB in all the trays in case they then decide to go somewhere else

Awkward

Purrsonal touch have some really big trays too. I saw one at a cat show earlier in the year that was bigger than anything I'd seen previously. Jaffa needs a big tray - he's not Leo size but he is long so when he does a poo that makes him tall!

zooplus do some really big one plenty of people have maine coons using them

Max wouldn't like a hooded tray, he's ever so delicate when he has a poo, balances all his paws on the edge of the tray (its got a flat plastic lid which goes around the edges to keep the liner in place) and dangles his bum over the litter

If there was a lid he'd have to be conventional again

Dawn F · « **Reply #65 on:** October 12, 2007, 14:12:17 PM »

how big will me get Lisa, not weight but size??

lisa77 · « **Reply #64 on:** October 12, 2007, 14:11:10 PM »

WELL I WOULD GET A HOODED ONE BUT WHEN HE IS OLDER HE WONT FIT !!!

hOrZa · « **Reply #63 on:** October 12, 2007, 14:05:13 PM »

This is why I have hooded trays as my boys think they can dig to China

clarenmax · « **Reply #62 on:** October 12, 2007, 14:01:05 PM »

Max still manages to get it everywhere

He was quite good at first, but now I find it flung all around his tray again most evenings when I get in

lisa77 · « **Reply #61 on:** October 12, 2007, 13:58:16 PM »

ooo im all excited now (how sad !!!)

What a fab find ! Im going to spread the word.. the courser the better as Leo has a habbit of getting it EVERYWHERE !

see ya later WBCL !

clarenmax · « **Reply #60 on:** October 12, 2007, 13:56:09 PM »

Its quite a bit darker browny/grey colour, and a tiny bith courser in texture than WB, but other than that, no difference as far as I can see. It clumps in exactly the same way, and there's no odour whatsoever. I'm due to change the tray completely tonight, its been in for a fortnight (but topped up obviously), but as all wees clump together, there's nothing left to make any odours.

Pretty fab really

lisa77 · « **Reply #59 on:** October 12, 2007, 13:54:28 PM »

cool ! I love bargains !!!!!

What colour is it then ?

clarenmax · « **Reply #58 on:** October 12, 2007, 13:51:07 PM »

Yup, that's good

I paid £9.60 for mine, so fairly similar.

WB is £18-19 for a 7.5kg bag, so muuuuuuccch cheaper.

I can report that it is just as good as WB as well, not such a pretty colour, but the job just as well

lisa77 · « **Reply #57 on:** October 12, 2007, 13:43:28 PM »

Right just found a supplier in my area...

20kg bag for £9.15.. Cant remember how much the WBCL was & size so cant compare ! Is that good ?

clarenmax · « **Reply #56 on:** October 04, 2007, 18:52:31 PM »

Fantastic, thankeeeeeee, I'll top up the current WB with it so he doesnt' notice any difference

hOrZa · « **Reply #55 on:** October 04, 2007, 18:51:23 PM »

Thats what I'm using the farmgate and its ok

clarenmax · « **Reply #54 on:** October 04, 2007, 18:49:01 PM »

I picked it up today

Its made by Farmgate, Chick Crumbs ACS ..... the lady in the shop didnt think it was medicted, and the website doesn't indicate either way.

Anyone know? If not I'll phone their helpline in the morning just to make sure.

lisa77 · « **Reply #53 on:** October 02, 2007, 12:42:00 PM »

sorry i just started a new thread.. trying to find links

karenjet · « **Reply #52 on:** October 02, 2007, 12:40:15 PM »

I got chick crumb too, from the countrywide farmers link that Helen posted. They're the only ones I could find to deliver over here. I bought two 25KG bags and it cost me £25, still works out a lot cheaper than what I had been buying, and cos I don't drive it's so handy to have it delivered to the door. I'm very impressed with it so far

lisa77 · « **Reply #51 on:** October 02, 2007, 12:27:48 PM »

Would this be OK ?? Has it got to be a particular type ? Im sure someone mentioned it had to be non medicated but I may be wrong ?

Lisa chick crumb is not so fine as wbcl and yes you can flush it

lisa77 · « **Reply #48 on:** October 02, 2007, 12:11:25 PM »

Can you flush this chick crumb ?

hOrZa · « **Reply #47 on:** October 02, 2007, 11:11:39 AM »

If he's kicking it everywhere you could try adding a hood to the tray as this is what stops mine

I like this litter but find that Leo kicks it everywhere !! I suppose it will be the same whichever I used !

Is the chick crumb the same consistancy ?

I think all cats kick their litter everywhere, I've found with Max it doesn't go any where near as far around the room as its very light, when he had Sophisticat which had much larger pieces, I'd find it everywhere. I'm sure he used to do it as a game

The crumb looks very similar, I'm supposed to be picking it up today/tomorrow so I'll report in when I've got it

I've been thinking of adding an extra tray in the bathroom, but there's not a lot of room in there! I buy golden grey from zooplus at £8.99 for 14kg which isn't bad price wise. I'm happy with the performance but am becoming increasingly unhappy about using a clay litter for a variety of reasons. I can just about lift those bags and empty them into sophisticat 5kg plastic tubs. The litter tray is in the living room so I have to carry the litter to the tray (or the tray to the litter!) when I want to refill.

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #43 on:** October 01, 2007, 18:59:58 PM »

I pay £6.20 for my 20kg sack - just gone up, how dare they!

LOL! - but as you say Clare, your bag is still way cheaper than WB.

I pay about £7.50 for mine but like you say £9.60 is still better than wbcl - I was buying from ebay before, something described as clumping cat litter and paying £15 a bag I think plus delivery but when I got my first bag of chick crumb it turned out that it was the same stuff!! i've tried every litter under the sun and this it great honest

The only placed I'd seen it before was on ebay, the crumb itself was quite cheap, but about £10 to post it

Defo got to be a collect job methings, although might send o/h to do it as its gonna be heavy

But can you actually lift the bag to fill the tray?

I'm scared to try WBCL or chick crumbs in case it's not as good as what I'm using.

Gonna buy me a scoop, then I won't need to lift it lol

Before I tried WB I thought it was probably vastly overrated, but it really is great, every little bit of wee and poo clumps so there's nothing left behind when you clean the tray, so no smells whatsoever

Now I've used it, I don't think I'll ever go back to the old litter I used

Millys Mum · « **Reply #40 on:** October 01, 2007, 15:50:47 PM »

Susanne can you fit an extra tray in? Then you can test it without the boys going oh my god i have to pee on edible stuff

Lola refuses to use it as litter, she has a regular munch

and then goes to the clay tray

I MANAGED TO GET SOME CHICK CRUMB

I've been having a bit of a mare trying to find somewhere who stock it locally, but I've found a pet shop franchise in a garden centre who can get me a 20kg bag for £9.60.

Not sure how cheap that is in the big scheme of things, but its certainly better than £18.99 for a 7.5kg bag of Worlds Best lol!

I'll be picking it up later in the week, so will be interested to see how Max gets on with it. Much as I love WB, its is veeeeeery expensive, so if this is as good as Gillian & Co say it is, I'll be one happy lil' Clarey

hOrZa · « **Reply #36 on:** September 21, 2007, 22:16:37 PM »

about 2 inches at least

its been years since I had a kitten !

Dawn F · « **Reply #34 on:** September 20, 2007, 14:01:37 PM »

we've had loads of conversations about this, if you do a search Helen posted a list of stockists, its actually food for baby chicks so you don't pay vat! it clumps like worlds best and is flushable I get mine from and equestrian type pet place but lots of people go to Jolleys (sp?) anyway if you do a search you will definately find loads about it

lilycat · « **Reply #33 on:** September 20, 2007, 13:59:11 PM »

Can I just ask...am I right in assuming that 'chick crumb' is a cat litter you can flush? Where can I purchase this wonderful stuff?

I have been buying Bob Martin recycled paper litter which is cheap and very lightweight and my lot like it - but now they've changed its composition and I don't think it's as good...it's actually quite hard to tell which bits have been peed on.

hOrZa · « **Reply #32 on:** September 20, 2007, 13:53:30 PM »

Then it is

because if it wasn't she would have just come out and said so
