Emergency cat litter

Hi everyone, I was just looking for a little tip! I ordered 40 litres of litter for my little ones last week but it still hasn't arrived and the tray is filthy and stinks! When I placed the order, I had enough left for two changes, but now I'm completely out! I want to empty it because I don't know how they're even still using it! I know the best thing would be to nip out and buy a small bag, but my order is due tomorrow, so I'm thinking of putting some newspaper or kitchen roll in the bottom for the day. Is that okay, or do you have any other stop-gap solutions?

    So, this thread is two weeks old now, so I’ve received the litter since then. And if you’d read the previous posts, I used kitchen roll — even some vets recommend it when female and male cats have been spayed or neutered, so it doesn't irritate their stitches!

    Well, it’s just a stopgap, but supermarket litter is better than newspaper – that’s just rubbish – or kitchen roll, which will be absolutely useless.

    No, supermarkets are far too expensive and I don't like the litter they stock anyway! I buy 40 litres of litter from Zooplus which lasts me four months, but my latest order took over 10 days to arrive. When I ran out for a day, I wasn't about to spend £4.50 on a 4-litre bag when I normally pay around £21 for 40 litres!!

    You can get really good cat litter at the supermarket, and at least that way you’re sure never to run out.

    You just pick some up while you’re doing your weekly shop; I always keep two spare bags at home, so I’ve got peace of mind.

    If the worst comes to the worst, just grab a "temporary" bag of budget litter for about £1.30 to tide you over.. lol

    So I’ve been trying to put kitchen roll in their litter tray but they’d rather play in it than do their business. So last night I went round to my mother-in-law’s, as she’s got a cat, to ask for a bit of litter because they just weren’t going. I’ve sorted out one of the two trays now and they went straight away. It’s a good job she gave me some litter actually, because my delivery hasn’t turned up yet.

    No, I haven't seen any redness, otherwise I would’ve put some on them, and they already track it everywhere anyway so it wouldn't have been any worse!!! I’ve tried every type of litter but they get it everywhere with all of them, so I’ve stuck with clumping because I find it’s the best for me in terms of cleaning up.

    Yeah, I think using kitchen roll is definitely the best shout as a temporary fix! ^^ If you’ve got rodents, you could also use wood shavings, but they’ll get stuck all over their paws, so the house will be a right state afterwards xD
