Which cat litter?

[8bit]

Just wondering what the PH driving/cat-serving gods recommended cat litter is? We switched recently to Sanicat pink stuff as it's light weight, low dust and seems not to end up all over the utility room floor. The overlords seemed to approve and all is well there, the trouble is it's sort of orange in colour and it's turning our eldest chap's ordinarily white paws to a funny shade of orange...

I guess the criteria then are low dust/mess, not too finely cut. Light weight is nice but not essential.

"Worlds Best Cat Litter" without a doubt.

Really lives up to it's name, no odours and lasts for ages

I've always used clumping clay although it does make the room's floor dusty which can be annoying if that dust gets wet before I sweep it up.

Recently tried wood chip from Pets at Home as they has an offer of 3 10L bags for £15. It made the house smell lovely and the wood chip turned to dust when wet so you only had to remove the solid matter and change it all then once a week but I overall prefer the clay and have gone back to that.

We use the wood chip type from pets at home and take out the solid poo with kitchen towel but if they do a pee we change it so they don't have to stand in pee dust when they want to use it again.
Amazed that the previous poster would only change it once a week 😮

I use Maizy cat litter, seems to be the best I've tried, made from corn believe it or not, very little dust and good clumping action.

Two more months and the tray will be gone, the little bugger can dump outside like the other one, can't wait

A +1 here for the Pets At Home wood chip stuff. Very cheap, and smells so much less than the Catsan we used to use. Quite a bit cheaper as well, which doesn't hurt.

I use the wood chip pellets also. With five litter trays changed every other day it’s the most economical. It does turn to sawdust which makes it so much easy to empty and clean, however there are often dusty prints near the boxes - but having wooden floors my lad sweeps daily it’s not a problem.

I follow a Serval and a woman with a Bob Cat on Instagram - as much as I’d love one I’m not sure i’d want to be cleaning their litter boxes. They’re literally paddling pools.

Another Catsan user here. Haven't tried anything else as it does the job. My only issue is when you get to the end of a bag it's mainly dust & that can clump and stink of cat pee if you don't completely empty the tray & give it a wash once a fortnight IME.

Thanks all, I'll look into some of those.

@Gretchen, good grief, five trays?! You must really like the life of servitude...

Worlds Best (the red one) for me.

Works great out here in Dubai when you have not so great plumbing and even with the AC on the heat can be a factor.

So with the Worlds Best, never had any smells, can flush and not block the drains and doesn't need to be changed that often, just scoop and re-add when needed.

I do a full tray clean every 2 months and there is never any problems with stuff stuck to the bottom and the trays dont smell.

This is with 2 big Arabian Mau's as well.

Perfect stuff.
