So today welcomes my first kitten, meet Gus!
Still finding his way around but settling in nicely.
Awe
look at that wee face 
He really really is. I count myself very lucky given I wasn't planning on even getting a 3rd cat
Only a few more cats and you'll be officially known as the crazy cat lady of OCUK!

I'm in the process of becoming a foster carer so I'm just gonna take in stray kids instead of more cats - for now!
Is Cat's Best Oko Plus probably the best cat litter in the world?
It's been almost 6 months since I bought a 40L pack for £20. It's still not run out, which is amazing (£3.33 a month!). Before that I'd tried a few other types and brands:
Wood pellets - large hard pellets are difficult for cats to dig around in; dissolves into fine dust which gets into the air (and up your nose). Needs a special litter tray with two layers, which needs regular fiddly cleaning/ unblocking. A right pain.
Clay (Tesco value clumping) - Super heavy, can't flush or compost it, horrid caustic chemical smell when wet. Cheap and nasty.
Breeder Celect paper pellets: uses a lot of material to soak up a little pee, so you get through it quickly. Non-clumping; expensive at the rate I was getting buying it (at least one £15 bag a month for one cat).
Sanicat Eco: worst litter, ever. Turns into foul slurry when wet, which looks horrid and stinks. Useless, and super expensive.
But this Cat's Best Oko stuff... it's bloody brilliant! Clumping, doesn't smell, easy to dig... Who else is using it?

Anyone else's cat obsessed with bows? She's got a collection of about 15 all ripped off presents now
Yes, they love the shiny and crinkle of it. Mine pulled one from the behind the sofa, I didn't even know it was there. Just need to keep an eye on the staple inside it.
I'm using catsan hygiene non clumping as it's easiest for me to get a hold of, with both kittens sharing a simple tray which I change out fully once a week and top up when they start scrabbling at the liner (as if trying to magic up more litter to use for covering with).
Around a fiver for 10L at farmfoods which I have to buy every few 2 to 3 weeks depending on how fussy they are being.
I tried it but hated it as ours seemed to get it all round the house. We prefer Golden Grey Master. It smells great all the time, lasts ages and doesn't track everywhere.

I just Googled that, and it turns out that the clay your litter is made from is also... a health food
People are eating it for its "healing properties".So either you're letting your cat crap in your food, or people are eating cat litter
I guess instead of throwing it out when she's done with it, you could...
Do you know if Golden Grey Master is flushable like Oko Plus is?
I use Oko Plus but it does track terribly so always on the look out to try something else.
Lola's missing 
She went out as normal at 4am yesterday with Dave and Bruce, and I haven't seen her since. She didn't come home for food all day yesterday. I set the cat flap so that if she came home today she couldn't get back out again, but no sign of her

About the tracking... I just put the litter tray in a really deep open-top cardboard box, and built a ramp into it for access
It works until she decides to jump directly from the tray to the outside world, which she can because she's quiet the jumper
But for the most part she uses the ramp, and the box has stopped the worst of the tracking.

Oh no!
Have you walked around the area calling for her?How do the boys seem? Distressed or anything?

Hah, yea I tried something like this once. My two find just about any way to get in and out the box BAR the "correct" way in/out. Thanks though! Bought myself a Dyson V6 so a quick vacuum up is super easy but still, always on the look out for anything better.
