Super bedding
Clumps perfectly, excellent odour control, and very economical. Highly recommended.

Good, but could be cheaper!
I've been using this litter for about a week now. So far, I can't complain. It clumps well, though some clumps fall apart too quickly. It doesn't produce dust and is also very low in odour.
Whether it really lasts 60 days as stated (for a 5kg cat), I can't say, and I don't quite believe it either.
I won't be buying this litter again because I'm not satisfied with the price-performance ratio. That's why I'm only giving it 4 stars.
The 12-litre bag weighs 10kg, and at a bag price of €9.99, that's €1 per kilo. I can get a similarly good product for less.

Simply put: "Currently" the best cat litter on the market
Hello everyone,
I know a lot of cat owners and, back in the day, even a few "breeders."
First off, we ourselves have two cats: a Norwegian mix (5kg) and a Turkish Angora (2.5kg). Both are long-haired cats.
One thing has always been important to me: visitors who come to my home shouldn't be able to tell by the "smell" that I have cats. Previously, we used Best Öko Best Plus, which steadily declined in quality, as well as Cat's Best Nature Gold, which claims to be suitable for long-haired cats but ultimately isn't. These litters were carried all over the flat far too much.
Then the new Biokats (DIAMOND CARE) came out, which is, mathematically speaking, more expensive than the ones mentioned above.
BUT...
We were genuinely positively surprised. Of course, the claim of lasting for 6 weeks is a bit utopian, especially since it could become unhygienic for the animals. However, we manage to use one bag in a large corner litter box for 2-3 weeks. Four weeks would certainly be possible.
Cleaning:
The clumping function works immediately. Even after freshly deposited stool, there’s no smell after a minute because it binds odours very well. The clumps practically encase the faeces. The clumps are hard, making disposal straightforward.
However, in my opinion, the claim that this litter doesn’t produce dust isn’t accurate. It produces at least as much dust as other litters, but the difference is that you don’t notice it as much at first because of the pleasant "Aloe Vera" scent.
Our cats accepted it straight away. Despite the small "pellets," hardly any litter gets scattered around the flat. Within about a 1-metre radius around the litter box, you might find the odd crumb, but I think that’s tolerable for this type of litter.
But who doesn’t know this scenario?
Cats use the litter box, come over to you smelling like a subway tunnel, and want to cuddle...
With Diamonds, the scent (Aloe Vera, depending on the product mixed with baby powder) absorbs into their fur, so the animals smell pleasant too.
What I have to criticise about Zooplus, though, is that the product costs €13.99 here, while at the local pet shop it’s "only" €10.99. (As of 16.10.2014)
Conclusion:
SUPER litter with minimal flaws (dust, which is made more tolerable by the Aloe Vera scent or powder).
One can only hope that no changes are made to the product. With other cat litters, the quality varies depending on the batch, which is "currently" not the case here.
I hope I was able to provide some insight into this litter, especially for owners of long-haired cats. For us, it’s currently the best litter on the German market.

The best litter!
Finally found a cat litter that meets the requirements of both the cat and her owner. No unpleasant odours (our three sensitive noses appreciate freshness), not too sharp on delicate paws, extremely good clumping, lasts for aaaages. And the individual granules don’t scatter everywhere. As long as the formula doesn’t change, it’ll keep going in the litter box.

Odour-binding!
Hi, I’m really happy with this product! Not only does it smell amazing, but it practically absorbs odours as well! I’m completely satisfied. It was absolutely worth the money.

Top-notch cat litter!
After many attempts over the years, I’ve finally found the right one.
It vacuums really well, forms great clumps, and smells amazing!
Hopefully, the composition stays this good!
Both the cats and their owner are happy.

Simply brilliant!!
I bought the cat litter out of curiosity and because of the good reviews, and I’m absolutely thrilled. The cats took to it really well, it clumps brilliantly and smells incredibly pleasant, so much so that even the kittens’ fur smells of it afterwards, which I personally think is fantastic. I can only recommend this litter :)

Very good :-)
I've tried all sorts of litter, but this is by far the best. The clumping is excellent, very economical, and the smell remains pleasant even after a longer period of time :-D

Highly recommended!
I can recommend the cat litter both with or without baby powder scent. We have 3 cats, 2 Maine Coons and a domestic shorthair. It really clumps the best out of all the litters we've tried so far.

Clumps great, odour control great, aloe vera great.
Our three little stinkers love this litter, and so do we. It clumps really well, and the odour control is fantastic thanks to the activated charcoal. Since the litter is infused with aloe vera, the cats get super soft paws and love digging in it extensively. Aloe vera also has the added benefit of hardly sticking to long-haired cats. So far, this is the best litter we've tried.

Best cat litter
I’ve used countless types of cat litter over the years, but none can compare to this one. No odour, clumps really well, and it’s very economical. The best I’ve ever had, and my two Maine Coons like it too. Highly recommend!

Despite having long-haired cats, a moderate beach effect – brilliant!!
Over the past two years, we've tried pretty much everything, but no litter has proven to neutralise odours for as long as this one. The price isn't exactly painless, of course. But if I have to completely replace a €5 litter after just one week, that's pretty expensive too. Visually, I quite like it as well. These charcoal and aloe vera particles create a psychological effect that makes you think it's a particularly high-performing litter (even though my cats were a bit sceptical about it at first...). We have two long-haired cats, and the "beach effect" is really manageable. We're sticking with it!

1A Odour Control
I’m so glad I found this litter and I really hope no one at Biokat's gets the idea to mess with the formula. I’ve tried so many others, and all the other litters eventually ended up being terrible at odour control, which is completely unacceptable for my lady who tends to have digestive issues. Besides the excellent odour control (no more holding my breath while scooping the litter box), it clumps really well too. The only downside: it does produce quite a bit of dust, though I’ve only noticed this when pouring it in. Otherwise, this litter truly deserves 5 stars.

Great cat litter
This cat litter really stays dry and binds odours extremely well. I've finally found a top product for my 13 cats that is also very reasonably priced.

Good but expensive
We were looking for a litter that binds odours well, as we have both litter boxes in one room, and the previous litters unfortunately had pretty mediocre odour control (despite immediate cleaning after every "business").
Diamond Care produces very little dust when poured and binds odours extremely well!
However: It costs us twice as much as other 15kg bentonite litters because we have to buy double the amount. The 12-litre bag contains 10kg, and one bag is only enough for one litter box (to last 14 days without a complete litter change). This means that within 30 days, we would need 4 bags for two litter boxes. That’s quite a lot.
The litter is also less efficient than finer-grained bentonite litters, and as soon as you fall below a certain fill level, the urine leaks onto the bottom of the litter box and everything turns into a soggy mess – quite a nuisance, really.
All in all, despite the negative points, we will continue to use this litter simply because good odour control is the most important factor for us, and so far, I haven’t found any litter that fulfils this criterion better.

Great litter
We used Golden Grey Masters & Extreme Classic for a long time and were quite satisfied with them for years, but unfortunately, the quality has become very poor in recent months. So, we had to look for a new litter and finally found one. This Biocats litter is simply fantastic. No more unpleasant odours, and my long-haired cats love it! So far, I can only say good things about it. I hope the quality stays this way :)

Super!
With three pure indoor cats, you need a good litter to avoid unpleasant odours in the flat. After Extrem Classic changed its formula, we switched to Golden Grey Classic, which, however, varies greatly in quality. I filled this litter into one of the trays and was immediately impressed. The litter has slightly larger granules than GG but is still very fine. The baby powder scent is different from other litters, genuinely smells like baby powder, and is very pleasant. You can't smell anything from the trays, and the clumping is top-notch. Whether it passes the long-term test remains to be seen, but after one week, it's still as fresh as when first filled.
