No sorry we use clumping litter that gets licked around enough without the added attraction of a liner to dig up to :LOL:
Haha not a chance with a Maine Coon, sorry.
We use the extra giant own brand Pets At Home liners as they last the longest but they all end up in shreds.
Oh joy!! They are still on wood pellets as thats what they are used to! We tend to pick them up and give them a shake to get it off their feet!
We are going to move them onto a clumping litter soon or Yesterdays News does any one rate it??
I have'nt seen that one but would be interested to know what its like. We used to use Nature Cat Gold but they have stoped doing it :pissed: so are trying Sophisticat Tidy cat & erm well not as good :sad1:
We tried Yesterday's News, and it is quite clean, but we have one very fussy girl, who we have had trouble with when changing litters. She did not like the YN (or most of the other litters we have tried, for that matter). The advantage of the YN is that it is pellets, so doesn't get tracked around as much. Some cats may not like the very different feel of it, however. That is one of the issues we read about when having litter issues: some cats are fussy about the feel of the litter on their feet, and if it is too coarse or too fine, they will not want to use it.Quote:

I use Catlux which is a softwood clumping litter.
It clumps really well, so the litter box is easy to clean and also keeps all the odours out. I had a lot of trouble with the clay and odour but this stuff is great. Unless it's a fresh poo there is no smell what so ever and I have 2 trays inside atm.
The cats don't really track any out of the trays, it doesn't stick to their paws, but I have a mat that the cats walk on and that seems to pick any stray litter up.
The cats also love using it. I picked up some clay for Gryfn as that was what he was used to, but he totally bypassed the tray that had that in it and used the tray with the softwood in it.
We dont have to much of a problem with trailing litter as I usually have to hoover every other day because of spots they shed their fur twice a year 6 months in the spring & 6 months in the autum :LOL:
Have you tried a zoom groom i swore by mine when i had a labQuote:

Doesn't do much to disguise the smell though - unless you are super fast at emptying it after he has been:LOL:
That is what we have found with the World's Best and poo smell. Luckily the cats seem to agree, as they use the WB tray only for peeing! We were hoping to get rid of the clay, as we don't like the dust from it and it cannot be good for the cats, but the cats do not seem to want that to happen (plus the Fresh Step clay really does hold down the poo smell best).Quote:

A zoom groon is a rubber brush that fits really well into your hand, it has big rubber teeth that go through the coat really well on smooth haired dogs and if they don't like the noise of a brush is great as it is silent when you use it. The only thing is you have to do it outside and watch which way the wind is blowing as it rally shifts the fur. For a longer haired dog I find a Mikki rake workes well I got my friends golden retriver one and that shifts his fur. He has also got a furminator which works well but they are pricey.Quote:
