So I had a reply from Tesco that said "Thank you for yourr feedback" and went on to say that they were alwayDSC02268s happy to get feedback from their customers in order to offere a better service.  Being somewhat cynical about their altruism I replied that as I was in fact making a complaint and would like an answer to my query. 

I used the alternative products - first the so-called lightweight clay which was unmanageable and heavy and followed that with a clumping product.  I will spare you the details but imagine a small flat filled with the aroma of cat pee, dust and bits scattered on the floor.  Problem: cleaning said dirt-box.  Again I will spare you the details but it is enough to say that I spend more time cleaning than actually doing the task.

So I tried the supposed alternative that seems better - a paper based product. The consumer resistance is noticable - Sophie pees and poos on the paper placed under the pan and scrapes disdainfully at the litter.

Sorry to force you to endure the details but I am annoyed by Tescos apparant stupidity in withdrawing what is a popular and useful product that actually works well. Idiots!DSCF0822

I am now thinking of completely abandoning Tescos and going elsewhere for my grocery shopping - like the changing of the gaurd I will be ringing the changes
