Great so far

I got the Petkit Pura Max 2 litter box and wanted a good clumping litter instead of the horrible clay ones. Clumps up great so far and not too bad at odour control as well. Got the 5L bag to start but going to get the 40L next as it's going down a treat with my 4 ragdolls so far

My cat disliked it

My cat is used to wooden litter but she disliked this and weed on the floor nect to the clean litter tray.. Also the bag is tiny!

Possible change in ingredients?

I’ve used this for years and it has been the best for firm clumping, good odour control and lower tracking (hence still giving it 3*). This last bag not so much, I wonder if any of the ingredients have changed. I’m ordering another bag in the hope it was a one off otherwise I’ll move brand 😟.

It has changed and is now no good!

Have used this litter for years and convinced others to use it. The last couple of bags have been hugely dusty, making me cough when I am scooping it. So must be terrible for my cat. Slowly switching to another brand. He is quite easily unsettled by change so a slow process. I wish they would sort the issue out as this was literally the best litter ever

Works well, low odour. Clumps well.

Amazing litter for blocking smell but it does takes a while to set

Great litter but as explained it does take a short while for the litter to set and dry once they’ve urinated in it, otherwise it’s good a great pine woody smell which covers the smell. Ps get this and some food which has yucca schidigera since that’s helps reduce lower smells!

Always buy this brand

Have tried various types of litter. Don't like Fuller's Earth. That is really smelly. This keeps the odour down and it is also clump forming which makes it easier to clean the tray.

quality is gone

It was the best cat litter until, just recently, the quality of it dropped dramatically and Cat's Best became Cat's Worst litter. I am so disappointed - formula is completely different, the new one has bigger chunks, doesn't clump as it used to, it's tracking and the main thing it stinks horribly! I have to give up buying it and that's a shame Cat's Best loosing customers out of their greed and stupid decisions.

Not Good on its own - Won't buy again 👎

I used to mix this with a light clay based litter and it worked well. But on its own, not so much. The cats track this everywhere, there's no odour control and if you miss a day by accident, this litter will turn to a soggy mess and smell is awful 😞
Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)

Best litter out there

Tried a few and this is easily my favourite. It clumps really well and reduces odours noticeably. I buy the 40kg bag which lasts at least 9 months with my one cat.

Bengal kitten approval 🐾😻

This litter is great, I wanted a product that was eco friendly, and one that clumps, and one that wouldn'tbeak the bank. This litter does it all, soft on my kittens toe beans, eco friendly, clumps, and doesn't leave any odour. I scoop every day, and do a full clean once a month in both my kittens litter boxes, as he does his number 2s outside when I walk him. 5 stars from us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a mistake

Tried trasioning from clay, rescue cat was used to wood at the sanctuary unfortunately by the time the tray was complete wood she refused to use it and decided the carpets were a better proposition the wood pellets are far too sharp, went back to clay and she resumed using the trays

Worst litter ever

The pieces are massive, this litter does not clump at all and amplifies the smell of the cat poop, it is really bad

Good litter, pack unsure

I do not recall the exact bag size, but it was easy to clean and worked for both cats with minimal dust.
20l (approx. 8.6kg)

Easy clumps

This 20 litre bag lasted our two cats for weeks and clumps quickly with less tracking.
Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)

Great low-dust litter

I tried the larger bag in our home and it clumps well, is easy to scoop, and lasts a long time. My cat took to it immediately and there is little tracking.
10l (approx. 4.3kg)

Small pack was dusty

The smaller bag did not work well for our litter tray; it scattered and created more dust than expected.

Reliable litter

Very absorbent and light, our rescue cats accepted it straight away and cleaning is simple.
Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)

Absorbent but smelly

Very absorbent, clumps very well, doesn’t track much but it does not absorb odours well at all especially urine so I probably won’t be buying it again

Excellent product

It absorbs pee really well and forms a nice clump. It also does a great job with odours. Excellent product.

No dust at all

I love this litter, and so do my pets. There's hardly any dust, but I've noticed that when I buy the same amount split into two bags, it's sandier and creates more dust.

Everything's fine

After reading the reviews, I went with another brand, but I came back and it turned out the reviews were lying. It clumps nicely, the cats like it, there are no problems with it, it doesn’t create dust, and it doesn’t hurt their paws.

Lower quality

I've been using this litter for 4 years, and it was the best quality-wise. I never even tried to compare the price because it suited my needs perfectly. But the last two bags just aren't the same, it doesn't clump anymore, the litter just spreads everywhere. I'll give it another month, but unfortunately I'll have to give it up. I have 5 cats -> 3 litter boxes, and cleaning has become more tiring and less efficient.

I'm disappointed with the cat litter

Hello, I've been using this cat litter for over 14 years. Since my last order, I'm really disappointed. The clumps are soaked all the way to the bottom. The clumps are excessively large, which I never ever experienced before. Obviously, a lot more litter is needed now. Has the product been changed or is it a production error with this batch?

Terrible

I've been using it for a long time, but lately it's just getting worse and worse. It creates a lot of dust, and the litter itself falls apart. I won't be buying it again. I'm really disappointed—I'm having the same issue with the food, it crumbles apart. I'm thinking of buying elsewhere. The quality leaves a lot to be desired.

Terrible!

What a terrible cat litter! It's incredibly dusty! My cat comes out of the litter box short of breath and coughing. The whole house is covered in a white haze. Whenever I scoop the box, a cloud of dust hangs in the air. I've tried many types of litter, but this one is by far the worst.

Worsened quality

The granules have changed to being big and sharp, so now my cats don’t like using the litter box filled with this litter anymore. Even when you step on it yourself, it’s really uncomfortable, so imagine how it feels for a cat’s paws. It’s a pity, because it used to be great.

Has gotten very bad

I've been using this litter for almost 10 years, but the last 3 batches have been a disaster. It smells terrible. I even contacted Cats Best to ask why, but they just said they hadn't changed anything. It's a shame they don't take this seriously.

Totally gone downhill

I've been using this cat litter since 2020, basically since I got my cats. It was recommended to me and I was absolutely thrilled with it. But for several weeks or even months now, I've noticed that it doesn't clump well at all, and the worst part for me is that it starts to smell bad really quickly!! I never had this problem with the litter before. It's such a shame because it's really hard to find a new, good litter.

Very practical, my cats like it

It's really practical for cleaning, since you can put the clumped pee straight into the toilet. After a few minutes, the pee dries and forms a ball, making it easy to remove. My two cats use it without any issues.

Change in composition?

I've been using this cat litter for over a year now for my three Maine Coons and I was always super happy with it. The new bag I ordered now is useless. All the clumps from the pee fall apart straight away when I scoop and end up scattered all over the litter box. Really annoying. I'd like to know if the formula has changed or if it's still the same and I just got unlucky with my 40-litre bag.

Disappointment

Years ago, this was good litter, but the problem is it isn’t anymore. The quality has dropped a lot, it doesn’t even clump or anything now. You’ve lost a customer who used to buy this litter for years, but I just can’t put up with it anymore. Not giving it another chance, it’s terrible, honestly don’t buy it. Anything is better than this.
