Tigerino Crystals Cat Litter Mixed Trial Pack

I have used the Tigerino silica litter for 7 years but this last bag or two is not lasting anywhere near as long as it used too. My cats are in and out all day and the litter box is just for when they are locked in at night. The litter used to last a good month but now I am finding it lasts half that time even though my 2 cats mostly go out. They have a large corner enclosed box which they happily share.

This had such rave reviews I thought I'd try it as I needed an indoor alternative to Oko plus which isn't scented and tracks quite a lot. The scent is there which is great for us but the boys point blank refused to use one of the 3 pack as it was a bit overpowering. It doesn't clump at all & I didn't like the idea of raking urine-soaked crystals into the fresh litter until it all turns yellow. Neither did they in the end, as on a rainy day when outside trays weren't appealing one thought the bed was a far more hygienic option :-0 I threw most of the last bag out and switched to Tigerino Canada which is great if you're like me and prefer to remove the waste.

Sorry, don't understand the rave reviews for this litter. Maybe my cats pee more than others?? I will be sticking to their normal wood pellet litter from now on. Delivery from zooplus however could not be faulted.

I really wasn’t expecting the grains to be so big and "sharp". They don’t cut my cats’ paws of course, but I can see they walk on them very slowly. As for odour absorption, it’s not bad but not amazing either, especially when it comes to their poo. Why? Because my cats don’t cover it up like they usually do. I guess it’s because they don’t like handling such big grains. And the urine isn’t fully absorbed, that’s just not true.

I've been using it for years, many years. I think it used to cost 33 cents per litre. And it worked great: it lasted the full 3 weeks as described (with just one cat) and 10/12 days with two. Then the price started to go up and, over time, its performance and effectiveness went down. Now – with three cats and two litter boxes, only one of which uses this litter – after three days they go elsewhere, and even when freshly changed, they hesitate. It's not the same anymore: the grain size has changed too and I find it everywhere.

We used it for a long time because it absorbs really well and honestly needs less attention than clumping cat litter, but it’s very dusty. Whenever we put in fresh litter, the cat would regularly choke…
