Best litter for 6 month old kittens

Just wondering what litter everyone uses, we are currently using wood pellets but our 2 6 month old boys make a mess and sometimes do their no.2 outside the tray. We have 1 hooded tray and one normal one that they use. Any advice is appreciated
Thanks in advance

We use a mixture of Catsan litter or similar version. Our 4 month old uses that all the time.

I have 3 cats and have always used this, really holds the smell in. Mine didn't like the pellets and refused to use it.

I use Sanicat wood pellets.. I find the smaller grainy type ones get caught in their paws and they walk it around the flat .. a bit eww

I've been using wood pellets and they seem to make more mess when walking out of tray and seem to have trouble burying and half of the litter gets kicked out onto floor also it's smells the whole house up once they've been too
I'm going to trying a clumping one from pets at home now and hopefully less mess and less smell
Thanks for the input everyone

I use Tesco own (similar type as catsan litter) and have no problem at all and is rarely walked out on their paws (I have a huge high lipped litter box which they really like). I did try wood pellets a few years back but they hated and it went everywhere (even when they used a newly cleaned litter box). had to use it in the garden

I've recently started using Golden Grey from Zooplus. It doesn't track much at all.

I've also used Worlds Best, also from Zooplus. Tracks a bit though.

Your kittens are beautiful!

I also use Catsan. I tried Wooden pellets but they just didn't absorb the liquid so well and the smell quickly became overwhelming.

Your kittens are totally gorgeous. Is that a recent photo? I only ask as mine are about 5,5 months now and I am sure they are less 'kitten-like' in appearance than yours are?

Oxcat1 this pic was about a month ago they look very grown up when awake but kitten like when asleep
Same the wood pellets were very messy and smelly haven't tried catsan yet will try it as soon as this bag is finished

They look kind of angry at the moment and tired

They are gorgeous!

And here is an angry kitten for you. It is an Elf Hat. Even worse, it is an elf hat designed for a dog. Final straw, it is from Poundland. Is it possible to piss off a kitten any further?
