I know it was voted best litter in 2006 by "Your Cat" magazine.

Anyone know the difference between regular & gold?

Zooplus sell it too, had it on offer a while back

So the important question is where do I get it??

PAH or Petfood Warehouse http://petfoodwarehouse.co.uk/browse_91

Looks like the offer has finished but they have the same offer once in a while

Haven't tried the gold - maybe it is better?

I like the fact that it is eco friendly unlike clay (which you would expect to be) - also the weight issue. I am also concerned about the other issues around bentonite so hopefully I can change them all over. Petfood warehouse are doing 4 for the price of 3 at the moment as well

I top up and change (it goes in the composter) not very often really,couldnt say a time as i go by smell and how broken down it gets. Monthly maybe. The odour control is great and much lighter in the bin, they are weighing a ton with all the pee at the moment.

Im hoping to convert all of them to it over winter, im slowly winning

It does go on the floor but I find it easier to sweep up than fine grey sand

- the attic bathroom floor is blue/grey marmoleum which doesn't help. The larger yellowish bits are easy to see. I have small dustpans & brushes by each try - 49p from Wilkinsons

I would imagine it would be a pain with carpet.

LOL!

Don't you find the Oko tracks a lot? - I used to use it and it used to drive me mad!

I love these cat litter threads LOL!

It's funny but Willow used to love digging Catsan but lost interest when I changed litter. She used to really annoy me an would scatter it far & wide

Kirst · « **Reply #12 on:** August 28, 2008, 18:47:06 PM »

So its good for both then! Beavis also 'goes' and then goes , whereas Jerry and Gizzy appear to be trying to burrow to Austrailia!

Mark , are any of yours diggers? I find that clumps are harder to remove if they are at the bottom of the tra :sick:y.......................I like clumpoing litter but the Tigerino isnt really doing the trick.

Willow is the only digger, the others plop & go

Kylie sometimes scratches the floor or outside of the box

Have only used this once so far as PAH were out of stock when I went for some so have been using the yucky normal stuff from the local shop which is a pain as I have to change it every 4 days or so. Anyway I actually managed about two weeks without having to change it completely, I just removed all the clumps which was really easy as it clumps very well and topped it up when I needed to. There was no smell and I have two trays in a fairly small house. I could have probably gone even longer before I changed it but I thought I'd better do it at two weeks

It was very economical and for those of us who don't drive it's not too heavy to carry.

I think that is what Mark was hoping for, something you can leave down a bit longer, I'm paranoid about smells so couldn't leave it longer than a week

Surely if it clumps, the changes should be less often?
With 4 trays, it would work out too expensive.

Some people leave it in for a few weeks just topping up with fresh litter when needed to keep the required depth and doing a total change once every 3-4 weeks or so. It's just a matter of personal choice how often to totally empty it really. I'm just rather paranoid about litter tray hygiene and smell (as Pinball and Boopy pong

) which is why I use less of the litter than it says to and then totally empty and disinfect/bleach them every 2-3 days.

Dawn F · « **Reply #7 on:** August 28, 2008, 11:09:17 AM »

don't get me started on tigerino

it wins hands down for scent but just doesn't clump

I've posted somewhere else but can't remember, the extreme classic clumps pretty well but I will be going back to crumb just because its more convenient than having zooplus deliver when I'm at work

at the blue cross I volunteer at Mark it is a newspaper and a handful of litter in each tray, changed twice a day in some cases but yes, it is the most economical way to do it

Part of me is tempted to do it the way our vet does. Newspaper with a sprinkle of litter and change as & when required.

Dawn F · « **Reply #3 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:48:09 AM »

I used to do it once a week but probably shouldn't say so now!

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #2 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:35:58 AM »

I usually do a complete change every 2-3 days just for hygiene (but don't put the litter in as deeply as they suggest)

Mark · « **Reply #1 on:** August 28, 2008, 00:28:24 AM »

Today, I finally found a clumped wee in the trial tray

- it lifted easily and went straight down the loo - so far so good. It doesn't tell you how often to do a complete change - Is it the same as with ultra clumping?

Another thing, there was a bit of mess to sweep up but much easier than find grains all over the place.
