And they always go when somebody's due to visit, don't they?! We tried most brands of decent quality food - including Bozita which he liked but made no difference. As you've been giving him Whiskas & Go Cat, I'm guessing you're in the Uk, so I will tell you that the food that solved our problems was.... Butchers! Seriously. I don't consider it a high quality food so I'd not even thought about it, but after some research on the web I decided to give it a go. It is actually grain free - it's also very cheap, and he loves it! I supplement with some raw foods (beef/chicken) and also occasional treats of fish and liver, but I swear to God, you can't even tell when he's been to the litter tray any more! It's so cheap it's worth giving it a go if the Bozita doesn't do the trick.

Hi there, thanks for this. Actually, I've been feeding Butcher's lately, as I'd read somewhere it was grain free, and all four of the cats really seem to like it! So, assuming we get the problem under control, I think Butcher's will be the way forward.

And, yes, like Beau, Neo always would stink the place out about 10 seconds before we were due a visiting customer! How do they do that? It's like some kind of sixth sense!
