sainsburys ultra clumping cat litter
Sainsburys used to do the most fantastic cat litter in existence - very fine grains which formed perfect clumps very easy to remove and leave a clean box. Anyone else familiar with it?
Anyway, disaster! They've stopped making it. I haven't found any alternative which is even remotely as good. I realise this is a long shot, but is there anyone out there who used that stuff, and knows where I can get the exact same stuff made by someone else? My cats would thank you. Their cat litter life has been AWFUL recently, haha.. |

There was a sign up by the cat litter in our local Sainsburys last week saying that they are having difficulty with the suppliers of their clumping cat litter. That's either true I guess, or it's a nice, friendly way of saying they don't make it any more

we've been using this for 2 or 3 months now. You can get a trial size bag to try it - I was dubious as our cats are fussy and won't use woodchip litter. This stuff is amazing - it clumps, and lasts for absolutely ages. Yes, it seems expensive but we've been on the same bag since September and are only just halfway through!

Thanks for all replies! Really helpful. I hope it is just temporary, that would be good. If not I've bookmarked that other stuff - thanks Lorna.

It is still available, We are having 1 case of it in tonight, so three units, so I presume it will also get to the OP store. I must admit, 1 case is a bit low, so I am guessing they did have a problem with supplies.

My cats also use the Sainsburys ultra clumping litter. Its back in stock now, but I also use Pets at Home own brand Ultra Performance clay clumping litter, which isn't much different, also the small grains, and my cats happily use it. It comes in an 8 litre bag for £6.50. Catsan also do a small grain clumping litter ( ultra effective clay clumping), again just as good, but a bit harder to find. Pets at Home do actually stock it but its only a 5 litre bag and its £6.50 so a little more expensive if you get through a lot of it. I have 3 cats so only use it when i can't get either of the others.

was just gonna say - our sainsburys has it because I was umming and ahiing over whether or not to buy it.
We've had Cersei for 10 months and used the regular clumping. We tried the wood stuff, I thought it was rank. Next up we just finished a massive bag of catsan non clumping which I wont buy again. So decided to go back to clumping, but when we were in the store I couldn't bring myself to pay double for the Ultra. but upon reading this thread, it seems it is worth paying the extra though? |

We always buy Bob Martin Antibacterial Lightweight litter, 6.48 for 20l, which is good value for money and to us, really good quality.

Aldi clumping - £1.69 for 10kg. No smells and get through about a bag a week. It's a big litter tray and we have two 7kg monsters. Got rid of the second tray as neither used it!

We have 9 cats who use one large litter tray. A 5 KG bag lasts about 3 weeks.Every day I filter out the clumps & add more litter as necessary.
