Bio-Catolet Light & Hygienic Recycled Paper Granules Cat Litter 12 Litre

Over the years we have tried countless cat litters and all of them have had pros and cons. Often the higher priced ones aren't always worth it and this has become even more the case in the recent past 5 years or so. Previously premium brands of clumping cat litters now track like crazy all over the place when they used to be good. There is little explanation as to why the quality of premium (priced but not quality) clumping cat litters have gone so bad. So I did a little research what makes a wood pellet or wood ground sawdust cat litter clump compared to the non clump equivalents. The only main difference is that the clumping cat litters have a plant based additive such as starch to bind the cat litter together when it gets wet. Not sure the expensive clumping wood based cat litters are priced fairly when this is considered.Prices keep increasing like crazy with inflation but cat litters have been increasing in price beyond what would be expected and years before 2020 even. I was always struggling to find a reasonably priced cat litter and any non owner of cats do think cat owners are mad for paying these high prices for cat litters. Every new brand got expensive as soon as they became popular. Less expensive ones were terrible for moisture retention and management and odour elimination.Thought I would give this a try. I filled up the whole cat litter tray with one 12 litre bag. We have a very large cat litter tray for large size Ragdoll and Maine Coone cats. This means we normally only last up to 5 weeks on a good clumping cat litter such as Greenwoods, it does track badly though so we have been looking for an alternative for a long time.The Catolet (12 litre bag) will last our 4 cats up to 2 weeks before it needs changing. The moisture retention is good considering this isn't clumping and has to try out without removing clumps. The odour elimination seems great and all our cats seem happy with it. It is like other pellet cat litters only lighter in weight and slightly fluffy on the edges. I am very surprised at how good it is at odour elimination. Urine doesn't seem to smell at all but there can be a slight newspaper smell, sort of, which isn't bad. We have used newspaper based cat litters before and they were no way near as good as this one is.If you are happy with a non clumping cat litter that needs emptying more regularly then this is great. It will last 1 to 2 weeks easy for up to 4 large house cats. The pop smells are still there as to be expected with most cat litters but we recommend prompt removal of that where possible. The urine smell isn't a concern at all though. Some cat owners use portable stick on ioniser that sticks on the inside of the cat litter to eliminate odours which uses a sensor to turn on after the cat enters or leaves the box. We may try that in the future but our cats refuse to use a cat flap on the box because they were never trained to use one with their breeder or mum cat. 8/10 for quality and odour reduction and 10/10 for price but if we can get it slightly cheaper then that would be great because it doesn't last as long as a clumping cat litter, though it is still cheaper.

Best cat litter we have ever used, it doesn't travel on the cats feet, it absorbs the smell to about 75%, so easy to clean up, good value to use!

My cat really likes the Bio-Catolet Light & Hygienic Recycled Paper litter. It holds up pretty well, is very absorbent, and comes in a nice-sized bag—I usually get three refills out of it for a larger tray. It’s not sticky like some other litters, and my cat seems to enjoy it. Plus, there’s no dust going up his nose, which is a huge bonus! The fact that it’s biodegradable makes it even better. Overall, it’s a great option for anyone looking for an eco-friendly, dust-free litter that works well and offers good value.

Such good cat litter, no dust off of this, hardly any mess. Doesn't get stuck in my kitty's toe beans. Soft it on the paws and odour control very good. Id say much better than any gritty litter. Always gonna buy this now.

It doesn't always clump, and when getting rid of fecal matter the amount that gets thrown away is insane in a bad way, I only bought this bag two days ago and it's nearly all gone, it shouldn't be under the "Fine" section on here, the value of it is appealing but don't be fooled into thinking it's good just because of the rating, it doesn't mask odours which is a shame, yes it absorbs urine but not all gets trapped by the Capulets some seems down into the tray, as we know cats love to use clean litter trays but using this won't help. It's better for smaller animals in all honesty like rodents.
