Mum has said it is probably better if she does this post for us, so it is over to her.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Hollie asking if I would like a sample bag of Verdo wood pellet cat litter and do a review of it. Eric and Flynn have always used clay clumping litter but I decided to give them a try with this. They have two litter boxes at night but none by day as they have unlimited daytime access to the garden.

The first thing that surprised me was how light it is, and how little is needed to be put into the litterbox. The instructions recommend 3 cms which is a fraction more than an inch which makes it much more economical than I first thought it would be. Many years ago I had tried pine wood pellets and the smell was very overpowering. I was expecting the same with these, but the smell is very subtle.

I know how much Flynn dislikes change, so to start I put one litterbox of each for them, just in case Flynn decided the wall was the better option.

Next morning there was a patch of expanded pellets which was almost certainly Eric due to the size of the patch. The instructions say to remove only solid waste. Not being used to wood pellets I was not sure how much of the "pee patch" to remove so just took the largest expanded pellets then gave it a shake and it looked good as new again. All the pellets should be discarded once a week and the box washed and thoroughly dried before putting in new.
On the third night I removed the box with the clay litter and replaced it with a second box of wood pellets. I have to say though that Flynn was not happy about this and kept asking to go out, but a few days later was using it as freely as Eric.
In conclusion:
The bag has lasted me just over four weeks using it in two large size litterboxes so is very economical.
I love the fact that there are no messy granules being tracked around the floor.
Once I got used to not having to clean out the pee patch it was so quick and easy to keep clean and no urine smell whatsoever, and no dust either.
Eric took to it immediately, Flynn did not but used it when he had no alternative.
Will I change to it? Probably not as Flynn has not accepted it as readily as Eric, and as they are both nearly 13 now I don't want to push Flynn into change, but I would definitely recommend starting a cat/ kitten on it.
