It's not just Fatty that is scratching, it's me as well. I neeed a fine scooping litter and I think I have tried them all in the search for one that is fine enough otherwise she balances on the edge of the tray. Not I have another problem to resolve.

It is either the little green balls (Cats Best Sensitive), the stuff they add to make it clump, or dust, or all of them. I have used clumping litter for years and never had this before, mostly Cats Best original which didn't work for Her Highness.

Not a fan of Worlds Best due to having a huge bag that stank to high heaven before it got to the tray, think it was faulty.

I don't use clay due to it clumping inside the cat if licked off the fur among other reasons.

If you use paper litter, how do you find it? I tried it once and it went everywhere, couldn't find waste in it.

Any suggestions for a fine, non-irritating litter please?

Tesco has started doing their own brand paper one. I find that it doesn't track too badly. Not in comparison to clay ones. Pets at Home also do one.

But what about shredded paper? Let he pee on your shredded bank statements.

Shredded paper would be ideal, environmentally, but not very absorbent.😺

This is the reply from Biocatelet:
Macromin UK took over the sales and distribution of Biocatolet in the UK in 2022 and we inherited the current pack designs.

Unfortunately, there has been a historic error on the packaging and Biocatolet does not actually have an insect/flea repellent as such.

As the paper pellets are so absorbent, they absorb all the odours associated with the litter tray and as a result does not encourage insects.

As cats have a very acute sense of smell, there is a very small of fragrance added during production and this is at a rate of around 0.02% so is virtually undetectable however this also helps deter any insects.
This is a single fragrance that has been especially developed for use with pets and is suitable for use with all small animals.

We are in the process of redesigning the packaging which you should see on shelf later this year.
