Title: Cheap litter- seems good!
Post by: Lottie (Team Svartalfheim's) on October 23, 2009, 13:48:09 PM

I ran out of Oko and was planning to buy a bag from PAH  on our way home from Costco however I noticed a litter at Costco and despite it being a clay litter I thought I'd try it and it seems really good so far!

Litter Purrfect
~£7.50 for 13.6kg

Pros

-Pleasant smelling (natural lemon grass and baking soda)
-Clumps very hard
-Very fine grained so doesn't get stuck in longhaired cats paws
-Seems to have good odour control
-Comes in a plastic tub with handle for easy storage and easy carrying
Cost!

Cons

-Being clay is it heavy
-It does track but being very fine grained it seems to fall off my cats paws straight out of the litter tray rather than halfway across the room
-VERY dusty when you pour into trays but doesn't seem to create much dust when cats are scrabbling around in it or when you scoop
-Only available at Costco

Sounds a lot like Golden Grey which I used to use.

If you like clay litter and have a Costco local it does sound pretty fab. I just can't go back from OKO now :innocent:

Sounds great price wise etc.  Trouble is I don't really want to go back to clay now as I think it was making Jaffa sneeze.  But I really hate the oko!!  I have to find an alternative.  Any suggestions?  I don't want to use wood pellets - nothing larger grained than the oko, and pref not clay.  Must be clumping.

Wbcl or chick crumb are the only other clumping options

I was planning on trying Worlds best but it's on the pricey side.  Don't think I can get hold of chick crumbs for a cheaper option.

R&L do a similar to wbcl called swheatscoop or something like that, not sure how it compares in price but worth double checking
