Tesco Everyday Value cat litter

Is Tesco Everyday Value cat litter clumping or non-clumping? Would it be safe for a kitten to use? Thanks

Non-clumping. I've used it for kittens and it was fine.

ive heard never to use clumping litter on kittens as it can kill them if they digest it

Thats why I want to make sure it's non clumping. I asked on petforums and someone said it's clumping. This is the litter I have http://i.imgur.com/gUyvG5ol.jpg

I find the tesco wood pellet litter is better than the clay kind, it's bigger so a less chance of accidentally eating it, and also it doesn't track around the house half as much!

If you're trying to decide between commercial litters, you could make do with some potting compost in the meantime.

Didn't realise Tesco did their own wood litter. Will have to try it, my two cats trample the clay litter everywhere!

That's the one I used, it isn't clumping. It's a bit dusty though, I switched to wood pellets as easier to dispose of.

Don't know the Tesco litter in specific but from experience I'd never buy pellets sold as "cat litter". The reason is very simple; cost. They will sell the same pellets as pellets for burning at a fifth of the cost but because it's now "cat litter" it suddenly gets a price hike. Beyond that I can only recommend pellets in general; it's smells a heck of a lot better and is a lot cheaper as well.

I've been using the wood pellets for burning as cat litter too. A 15kg bag costs me €5 so works out way cheaper..

Never even knew that they were the same thing! I must get some of the cheaper ones then!

I use the straw pellet litter from Maxi Zoo - smells so much better than the wood pellets, and it composts brilliantly, although I leave my home-made pallet compost sections for years and years after moving to the next, to make sure the compost is safe.

Recently got some rescue kittens for my MIL, and gave her non-clumping litter with them when I was passing them on with their clean bill of health. Thank goodness I did as well - kittens never tried to eat it, but her 8-month-old Rottie pup did!
