Hi all
I know this isn't a reptile but I'm looking for some advice...
When we get more kitty litter in the next coupla days I'd like to try the clumping stuff, I was just wondering if any of you use it and find it easier to clean out than the non clumpy :)
Thx in advance
Scaly :) |

scaly- if he went in the bath when he had no choice he was probably just doing his best not to get in trouble- he chose a place to go that creates the least snell/mess/cross humans..
some cats will try their best to keep you happy, even when they're pretending to be all aloof and independent...
My male cat didn't like using a tray when he had to be indoors for a bit after his Special Op-, instead he used to go in the bathroom and poo on the floor behind the toilet. I was convinced he'd been checking out what the humans do, and was trying to do the 'right' thing.....Angus is very likely in the habit of going outside, as he came to you with a 'hungwy an homeless' cardboard sign, and a man-on-a-string... but he sounds like he's an intelligent sort of a chap who'll avoid narking you off if he can. .
all in all an excellent addition! congrats on yr sanitary cat 
-it's going to take a helluva lot of cat-litter to fill a bath tho....... |

I used the cheap Asda stuff. My cat Dex was only using it for a month (although, he did have to use a tray for 6 weeks last year, he got run over and had his pelvis broken in 3 places); he now has a catflap.

We use Tesco value or Asda Smartprice cat litter. It does stick to the bottom of the litter tray but we use a wallpaper scraper to remove it from the tray and not had it sticking to their paws. We have in the past tried paper litter, wood pellets and shavings but one of our girls is a very large lady, alot bigger than most, weighs 14 lb and is NOT fat. The litter tray use to tip over when we had litter in it that had no weight to it. Not pleseant for us or the paw cat.
Have you posted a pic of Angus yet? |

None, I kick all 4 cats ****s into the garden where they go in next doors bushes or trees and do their business! Can't get them to use a litter box at all. WE used to use like grey cheap cat litter, that clumped well I think XD |

my cats won't use litter at all now, think it must be 8 years or more since they used a tray, they always go outside. I recently had to keep one in because he had an infection so put a tray out, he held on for more than 24 hours and point blank refused to use the tray, for his own comfort i had to open the flap for him to go toilet, can't have been good for him holding on that long. When they did use a tray i tried both the wood pellets and the cheapy stuff, i liked the wood pellets as there was less waste but was a b**g*r to clean out but found it smelt less than the cheapy stuff. |

We use sainsburys value stuff for out cats, works fine.
Mum tried wood pellets a while back, and they refused to use it, pooping elsewheere. Stuck them back on the cheap stuff and they were fine. |

I use the cheapy cat litter i just dont see the point in spending lots on stuff for the cats to poop in lol ive tried them on the recycled paper based litters and the wood pellets in the past and they didnt like it too much so went back to the el cheapo type my mum swears by the white crystal type cat litter that clumps and changes colour when its dirty but my cats refused to use that lol |

Hi Scaly, they're usually clay based so it does clump but the clumps are very sticky and tend to stick to the litter tray which makes scraping them out quite messy it's also very dusty when dry and unless you have a covered tray it'll end up all over the floor. When the kitties use the tray if their feet get wet the little lumps of litter stick to their feet and get walked over the floor as well. The best one i've found is the pine pellets as there's no dust and no mucky footprints, it's compressed pine sawdust and when the kitties wee the pellets absorb it all and swell up and convert back to sawdust they absorb the smell as well. I think you can also get the pelleted paper as well but I've never tried that. |
