What litter do you guys use? I find the clumping litter material better in terms of dirt carried outside the box.
My cats happily share litterboxes and I have only one large box with clumping litter indoors. The cats use it whenever they are indoors. ( my cats are mostly in my terrace and there are multiple litter boxes there) .I keep a lot of birds as well, so the millet husk from the aviaries work as a good litter material. Only issue is some dirt is carried outside the box, but that is not a problem in the terrace.

Thanks

Meet my royal prince sherdil.
He is my pick from the litter, has a beautiful clear undercoat, glittered outercoat with large clouded rosettes, correct eye and head for the breed. I am planning to retain him.
He is just 2 1/2 months old though.

Out of many options we have tried, I have found Petcrux clumping litter to be good. 5 kgs lasts around 40-45 days per cat and absorbs moisture/odour quite well. Yet to try pine wood litter etc which is expensive.

This is my lockdown nest box project.

I had a few old mango wood planks lying around, so decided to make a nest box during the lockdown period. The exterior is covered with brown PVC sheet on all sides except front and bottom, as rain protection.

The box is mounted on top of a bamboo pole used for jasmine vine plant. By far, this box had the quickest occupation time(4 days since putting it up) in my house.

Link to other boxes in the house.

A pair of Myna have nested inside. Currently, the eggs have hatched and they have started feeding duty.

Here is my beautiful little Simba.
I adopted her off the street in Jan 2019. She must have been approx 2 months old then.
Lovely Naughty little thing.
Now she is the light of my life.

What a beautiful cat. As for litter the absolute best for me was Odourlock but it is expensive. Am currently using its cheaper one but as expected doesn't last as long as the Odourlock.

My cats Coco and Cookie. Let them out yesterday to enjoy the evening.

Thinking about Sushanth Singh Rajput's dog. Wonder how much it must be missing his Master. This was in the papers

Thankfully, the news of Fudge (the dog) passing away in grief after Sushant's death turned out to be fake. The dog is alive and safe along with Sushant's other pet dogs.

I have two cats and they are brothers who have been together since birth. So one box is enough for both of them as they don't fight or trouble each other.

I finally decided to go ahead and buy it.

The price I paid last week was about 300 more. Today it shows up at 1600.
While its definitely expensive, its build quality is excellent and its also quite large.

Hope my cats like to use this.

Sorry but I am no expert in cat breeds. She is a cat for sure.

I’m surprised cats like these are feral though. And I’m reminded of a meme: hmm yes, the floor is made of floor!

She looks lovely, I think it’s a Persian cat.
