After reading sawdust thread this morning

OH went a got some Bio cat litter which I have put in one of the litter trays and have left the other with a sawdust and hay on top. The new bio tray has been down ten minutes and Jacob is eating it. I have taken it away. SOOOO do I go back to sawdust and hay.:?

Have you tried something like Megazorb or Carefresh as an alternative? :wave:

I have read about Megazorb on RU and it sounds good, but if Jakes is eating bio litter he will eat that!

I am going to have to sigh up to our local newspaper (there must be one) so I can use that with hay!

Sorry I didnt know what Bio Litter was, but have just googled it and it sounds similar to Megazorb. Carefresh is bigger pieces compared to Megazorb - *might* be worth trying it? But yeah its not a good thing for him to eat it.
I take it he didnt eat the sawdust then?

Hope the hay on newspaper works for you. Do you get many free newspapers? We just use them and it seems to be just about enough. If you shred paper you could try shredded paper too? ETA: it wont be absorbable though so you may need to change it more frequently.

Thanks:wave: I will use up my sawdust with hay and look into sighing up for the Free local paper, if there's one.

I use wood pellet cat litter from P@H they are hard pellets made from wood pulp with hay on top. Mine don't eat it and they normally eat ANYTHING, and it is about the same price as megazorb etc or it may be a bit cheaper, they often have it on offer

Thanks for the tip, might look into it, It gets pricey when you buy something use it once and can't use it again. going to donate the bio litter to the indoor cat next door in a mo!:roll:

You can get a smaller bag of it for £2.34 which isn't too bad

I just use thick newspaper and then hay. I know it is difficult to get hold of enough newspaper ( particularly if you don't have one daily yourself) but do you think your neighbours would save theirs for you (or local nursing homes/hotels are pretty accommodating as otherwise they would have to recycle them).

That looks good, ill give it ago and no £2.34 isn't braking the bank, cheers

I may well pop to the care home which is a minutes walk away and ask about there recycled newspapers. Good idea Babsie
