UK - What cat litter is best to use?

I find the very best litter to use is Sainsburys Ultra Clumping Litter which is about £4 a bag (sounds a bit pricey but lasts ages). I have 6 cats using 9 litter trays and find it is the longest lasting and best odour controlling litter I have ever used and is the closest to sand I have been able to find, which is what a cat would choose in the wild. When it has been used, give the tray a little shake and you will be left with just the clump which you can then dispose of. I have used the silica litters but find they leave a mess as the little balls tend to jump out along with the cat and there is no way you can leave them for as long as they say as they turn a different colour after use and so it immediately starts to look dirty after the first pee.

Edit - Just wanted to say that scented litter is not a good idea for cats as, when it gets wet, it gets stuck to their paws and they then have to lick off something which is similar to perfume. It is one of the most common problems in cats who are urinating outside their litter trays.

Morrisons Cat Litter

hi i have 7 little buggers who are allowed out but still **** in the poo trays, so u can imagine i have tryed every litter ther is, i now use worlds best cat litter, and it really is, only problem it is expencive about 20 quid for a big bag, with one cat a small bag for £8.99 would be fine, get it from pet stores, one bag will last 3 poo trays about 2 and a half months, the wee scoups as a solid lump, all u need do is scoop every day, then top up every week i do a full change about every fortnight, when i come home from work i cant smell cat in my house with all the other ones i can smell poo trays at about 2 days so would have to do a full change. i find because im not useing as much on a weekly basis it works out cheaper than going through a big bag of catsan a week, if u give it a go its best to fill tray about half full, it really is good stuff,

Everyone has their opinion. I stay away from clay clumping litters. I've read articles on them and the idea of the cats breathing in or injesting the litter when they groom sounds bad to me.

I used Johnny Cat unscented gravel litter in the past, but hated the dust.

I now use Feline Pine, with a sifting tray and a Nature's Miracle pad in the bottom of the box. It's sort of a pain, but seems like a healthier thing to do for the cats and no more awful dust!

I hate the Tesco Value litter but anyway i love to use this one from pets at home Lightweight Non-Clumping Pink Cat Litter 30Ltr by Sophisticat which is £8.99 its a really good one and last for ages because its such a big bag

Tell your brother that if he didn't eat it first, it doesn't go down the toilet. (I got that word of advice from someone else, so thanks to them). There are some clumping litters that say they are safe to flush. However, if you're on a septic system, I would recommend against it anyway. No sense clogging up the works. I don't even want to think about how much the plumber and pumping if the system backs up will cost. If you're on a public sewer, it could be illegal. I use biodegradable doggie poop bags and drop them in the trash. They're inexpensive and available at pet stores. No fuss, no muss.

My cats use Naturecat Gold. It's about £7.00 for a great big sack (20 Litres, I think). I always use litter that clumps together, as it's a hell of a lot easier to clean out.

Asda price cat litter or Morrisons cat litter seems alright. Sprinkle some Bob Martin or Glade litter freshener in the tray and that helps the tray smell fresher.

Any cat litter is fine, but most cats will prefer litter that is quite soft so that it wont hurt their paws.

As cats are quite fussy animals, they dont like things being changed, so introduce the new cat litter slowly so that it gets used to it. If the cat doesn't like the litter, it may choose not to use the litter box.

Catsan is a good cat litter.

Good odour control.
