Title: Soft litter
Post by: joewilliams on April 24, 2007, 20:40:54 PM
My 11 month old Snowball is finding using the litter tray uncomfortable.

She doesn't like standing on the litter - she tends to hover on the side. This has led to her finding more comfortable places to go, like on beds or laptops :doh:

I've currently got 3 different types of litter in 4 trays (used by 2 cats), but she's still having the odd accident. Anyone have any recommendations for a litter that's easy on the paws?

There are a few "soft" litters available.  Catsan do a very fine litter called Catsan Ultra which is like a fine sand.  Also you can buy paper based litter which is sort of mashed up paper and very soft on paws!

There is also the corn litter WBCL see www.mpmproducts.co.uk. It seems expensive but works out very economical.

Ours use Bio-Catolet. We get it at Sainsburys.  It is paper based and soft on little paws

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations, I'll go shopping tomorrow.

On a completely unrelated note, does anybody want a mildly pee-soaked Dell Latitude LS? :evillaugh:

Yes and yes, all claws present & sharp :D

I've tried WBCL before, but the cats weren't too impressed by it and I found it tracked a lot more than anything else I've used. I may get another bag and try it again.
