Hi all,

I'd like some tips on cat litter please.

After coming home from work my boyfriend said there was a cat smell and I'm guessing it was their wee as the tray had already been cleaned of poop.

I scoop up the poop twice a day and after 5 days did a whole empty out and wash of the tray.

I also want to know if the cat litter makes a difference. I started on catsan because I read some good reviews somewhere about absorbing smells.

I use febreeze air freshener also around the house. And started closing the front room door and opening the balcony and window overnight to air out the flat.

I've also read on forums about Cats Best OKO plus and Worlds best cat litter (which my breeder recommended)

So... can anyone give their opinions on the best type of cat litter and the best way of hiding the smells.

Definately OKO Plus!! It captures all wee & poop so its easy to scoop it all out! You can also flush it and there is no smell. I've been using it for years and have tried most other brands

i like OKO best but my breeder used pets at home wooden litter which i change everyday if the cats have used (they both prefere the garden) but when i tried the OKO on Tiga my raggie where his fur is wooly where he is a baby it stuck in his fur before getting Tiga i used OKO all the time i have a big bin of the stuff as i bought it online so i will try again when Tiga gets his adult coat otherwise i will be chucking £25 of the stuff away

Hi I use catsan, have you thought about a hooded tray? Is lil one actually weeing in the tray, sometimes when they get a lil bigger they may over shoot the tray, & a lil piddle may miss & hit your flooring.
Be carefull about spraying fabreeze/air fresheners, some cat's start to pee everywhere to mark their territory.
My friend's cat started peeing on her bed as she had changed her washing powder/conditioner, when I explained this, she changed back & all was well again. So just a lil advice there
I'm quite lucky as I have a friend who has a factory & she gives me plastic sheet's (I am a cleaning freek & Baloo was my first inside cat, so I was a bit freaked out incase the litter tray smelled), so I lay a sheet in the tray, two sheet's of news paper & then the litter, yes I know OTT but it works for me.
Baloo sometimes wee's almost on the roof of the hood, so just as well it is hooded So when he goes, all is collected in the plastic sheet knotted & binned. I am lucky to work close to home so I can keep popping in.

I have been using Cats Best Natures gold which is clumping and pellet form. Havent had any wee smells and very pleased with it. Usually buy it on line at zooplus. Have just ran out of that and could only get Oko Plus at P@H so will be trying that next. Does look like it would stick to long fur though .... mine are short haired so may be OK.

PS - Just been looking at your album and I think your birman kitties are sooooo beautiful

we've been using tesco value litter but going to get some city cat at the weekend after reading good things about it

I thought Worlds best was the greatest, cats loved it.. scooped well, odour control is brilliant, lasted ages too, i used this for about 4 months but the cost was killing me.. its so expensive, so after doing some research online i.e reading reviews of other cat litter, i came across OKo plus.....now to me this blows world best out of the water......even better super odour control! also the subtle smell of pine is delightful, it scoops even better... but the best thing is its half the price! so its a total no brainer!!!! im an advocate for "cats best Oko plus"

yes i use okoplus cats best too. mostly because it is flushable and is half the price of worlds best lol

i have also found it lasts a long time - am still on my 1st sack after 6 weeks and for half of that gizzy was indoors all the time.

We use the World's Best which I think is great. Although one of the reasons we use it is that one of our cats likes to eat cat litter (don't ask me why) and the World's Best is made of corn, so won't do him any harm. It's also flushable, so all good.

I hated Catsan, thought it made it smell more. I use Yesterday's news.
