    I have 4 beautiful persians and I use Fresh step! Best one I've found

    Pics!!! (of the Persians)

    Can't help with the litter as we have different products available in different countries but I'm in for the cat love :heart:

    BTW, I have two indoor cats in the UK. They aren't *supposed* to go anywhere... they aren't *supposed* to even be roaming this country as they are not native, and they certainly aren't *supposed* to poo in my neighbours gardens! Not to mention the havoc they wreak on native species of small animals and birds and the danger they themselves are in from traffic and cruel b*stards like that woman who got caught on CCTV putting a cat in a wheelie bin. If I want the luxury of having companion animals, I have a responsibility to ensure that the damage they inflict is minimised. That's my personal opinion :happy: Many of my good friends disagree.

    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: THIS! When I was a teenager my neighbor's cat was shot in killed for pooping in another neighbor's garden! It was awful and very traumatic. Poor kitty.

    There are cruel people everywhere when it comes to animals/pets. How a person treats and nurtures their pet/companion is individual. Because someone allows their pet to go outside is not irresponsible or wrong, the people who lay poison in their gardens to stop them pooing in them is. My cats love going outside in the warm & cold weather, in the fresh air. They do not cause damage, if people stick to the speed limits and slow down for them to cross the road they will remain safe. We can not stop cats crossing the road like I am not going to stop my children crossing the road, it is an element of risk.

    They catch rats, they wear bells on their collars to 'minimise' this. I live in a large city that's full of them, they are vermin. They have never brought home anybodies budgie or chin chila.............................. love yer boys:heart::heart::love::love:

    Scoop Away "Super Clump" Box says "never have to dump the box again" This made me purchase it and alas... it was true! I am impressed.

    Arn't cats supposed to do their business outside????!!!!! Why do you have litter trays in the house? I have 3 cats and they all go outside to do their business, they only used a tray when they were kittens? :huh:

    I don't know about anyone else who posted here, but I have three indoor only cats. They don't go outside. Where I live, there is way too much traffic and other dangers that I won't expose them to.

    Me too I have 3 indoor cats but they all started outside as strays so that's not going to happen again. Too dangerous. We use Fresh Step as well and love it!

    I like Tidy Cats with the grey lid. It has febreeze in it that really cuts down on odor. I also scoop twice a day (multiple cats).

    No of course it isn't wrong :flowerforyou: It's a personal choice. I choose not to, so I make my indoors environment very cat friendly. Plenty of litter boxes, things to scratch, climb on, places to sleep and toys to play with. Lots and lots of cuddles with their human.

    My problem is you can't see what damage they potentially are doing to local wildlife. Has anyone seen the programme called 'the Secret Life of Cats'? I think it was a Horizon programme. It was a eye-opener for the villagers who took part - their cats were tracked with GPS collars and some wore cameras. Really interesting!

    *if* people stick to speed limits and watch where they're going, don't use their mobiles etc. then theoretically they'd be safer on the roads but that's a BIG if, and I live too close to a major A road to take the chance.
