Has anyone actually used cat litter to grit their drive?

Feeling v smug that I managed to snap up a couple of big bags to 'grit' our steep shared drive with, but have Googled and worried now by stories of stuff sticking to shoes, tyres etc and scepticism about whether it works. Looking for advice or someone with cats prone to diarrhoea...

I tried it last year and it didn't do much tbh.

Worth a try if you have nothing else though.

no idea but i'm a bit fed up as i can't get any cat litter for my cat's litter tray, cos of everyone buying it to grit their drives.

oh - you have 2 threads!! Just posted on your other one, that it works for us even having been down a couple of days. But does make a mess when you come in from outside as it sticks to shoes!

I think cat litter will go slimey won;t it?

I can confirm Cybils that you are right!!! After being rained on it has gone slushy! My broom is solid with it but it was still better than the sheer ice I suppose
