AI generated summary based on reviews added by customers
Customers appreciate this cat litter for its effective clumping and odour control, making it a long-time favorite for many. However, recent changes in formula have led to dissatisfaction, with complaints about reduced clumping, increased dust, and tracking issues. Despite these negatives, some users still find it economical and environmentally friendly, praising its lightweight nature and absorbency. Overall, while it has its drawbacks, the litter remains a popular choice for its original benefits.

Shame
This used to be our absolute favourite litter; it USED to be perfect for odour and waste binding. Now, it's mediocre at odour control and poor at binding waste. Over the last few bags, the quality has drastically declined, and it even looks completely different. Such a shame, it's no longer the best for cats.

Quality has declined
I’ve had cats for 20 years, but I’ve never had litter this bad! Clearly, something has changed. It doesn’t clump but falls apart when you try to dispose of it. It practically dissolves at the bottom of the litter tray. The colour of the litter is darker, almost grey. My cats don’t like it and are peeing outside the tray. That’s never happened before. We used to have the litter from Greenwoods, but that’s also gone downhill. Now it’s back to searching again.

Used to be the best but TERRIBLE now.
I’m furious they changed their formula & it’s unusable now. It’s always been bad at tracking but I forgave that because it was so good at everything else. It’s not even useable. Furious. I buy very large bags so a total waste of A LOT of money!! The litter no longer absorbs, clumps or maintains freshness. DO NOT BUY: I’m furious as I was so content for so many years & now out of the blue have had to start testing out cat litters: nightmare! Very Unsettling for my cats!!!

Decline in quality
I have to agree as well. I've been using Cat's Best for 5 years and was always very satisfied, but for the past few months, I've also noticed that the quality has been leaving much to be desired. The litter has not only changed from light to dark, but it no longer clumps like it used to, so even with care when cleaning, it can't be removed in one solid clump anymore. Everything gets messy quickly, and it has to be completely changed every other day. Definitely too expensive for that!!

No odours
Clumpy top. Put the lumps in a paper bag, paper bag in the organic waste bin. That’s how I imagine it, brilliant. And there’s absolutely no smell in the house. Wow

Best product on the market
Finally! No more unpleasant odour. You can dispose of it in the organic waste bin or flush it down the toilet. This means no need for bin bags either. It’s incredibly efficient, as you don’t have to empty the entire litter tray every two days. Brilliant product!

Litter
I've been using this litter for many years, but unfortunately, I have to say that the quality isn't as good anymore. It doesn't clump as well and smells, which wasn't the case before.

Good litter, continuous price increases though...
This litter in my experience is better than the capstan natural one at reducing smell and longevity. HOWEVER, it's had 2 price increases (yes may be minimal as a total but it adds up) which is frustrating as it used to be a no-brainer to order, and I'm never sure when it's next going to go up in price.

No longer clumps
I have used this product for years, and the last few bags I have had no longer clump to the standard of previous bags. At first I thought it may have got damp, but the next bag was the same. Now looking for a new litter

From Top to Flop
I've been using this cat litter for several years, but over the past few months, the quality has dropped unbelievably. It doesn't clump at all anymore and is extremely dusty – honestly, it's only fit for the bin now. Such a shame, as I was always very happy with the litter, but as it is now, it's just not usable.

Ms
I have owned indoor cats all my life and for as long as I can remember used cats best. The last 3 bags I've bought have got steadily worse. It appears useless, does not hardly clump, its definitely not absorbing like it used to. It just sits there with the urine swimming around it. I've not noticed any smells but that's probably cause I change it so often. Please cats best put it back to what it used to be. I am going to try Purina (flushable too) this time.

Obvious, poor change in production
For over 10 years, we were very satisfied with the product. However, for the past few months, there has been a significant drop in quality, which is clearly not an isolated case (you can see this in the current reviews from other customers). It clumps like cheap litter, so I would expect the price to reflect that – cheap. It seems to have become a trend that many manufacturers in the pet food/hygiene sector are gradually compromising on quality. Such a shame, back to square one after 10 years.

The best but also the most expensive

Simply brilliant!
I've been using this product for years now for the rabbit toilet, and heaven forbid I use anything else. My pets love it. It keeps odours at bay, forms clumps upon contact with moisture, and can be disposed of in the compost bin.

My cats love this cat litter. It smells very natural, is highly absorbent, and lasts a long time.

Price cats best
Great cat litter using for 7 years but has got greatly over priced.

I have to agree with the previous speaker.
I've had cats for 7 years and have never used any other litter than CatsBest. I was 100% convinced because it's natural and still clumped well. Two months ago, I ordered a new larger batch, and since then, it's just not the same anymore. Visually, everything looks as usual, but it simply doesn't clump at all anymore, really 0.00. Unfortunately, I'll now have to look for another one... :/

Great at concealing odour
Amazing cat litter with clumping, concealing the smell and how long litter lasts in the tray. I have one cat and only fully change the litter once a month, and top it up a bit after two weeks. I have never had a litter that conceals the smell so much. However it tracks EVERYWHERE! I don’t mind that too much but even with a litter mat it gets everywhere. It is also very very expensive. I would like to find a cheaper alternative that lasts as long and conceals the smell but without tracking.

Cats Best Cat Litter
A very good cat litter, as it's compostable.

It's OK
Ferret owner
The big plus is definitely the weight – you don’t have to lug around so much.
As for clumping, it’s not thaaaat great, but it’s very good at controlling odours.
