Something has changed...
We have used this cat litter for several years, and have been very satisfied with it.. until recently. Now it seems to have changed, and it tracks everywhere and sticks to our cat's paws and fur around his back legs. This is very disappointing, we are now seeking a better alternative.
Tracks everywhere
I read a lot of the reviews on here so was expecting this to be a good product but whilst it does clump well, it seems to get everywhere, more so than any other litter we've used before. It's no longer confined to the area around the tray, but through the house, so I won't be buying this brand again.
disappointed((((
Hello. I decided to buy cat litter from you, before I always bought it in another online store. Ordered, paid, received. I opened the package and was very disappointed. Firstly, it does not gather into a lump, but forms small lumps that are simply not possible to collect. Very dissatisfied with the quality, bought elsewhere and everything was always super. I bought from you and probably won't buy again.
Love it
It does leave a lot of litter around the box etc but I expected that given the reviews I'd read. Compared to the cheap clumping gravel I used to use, this is much better value for money since I find that I don't need to replace it as often and can dispose of it down the toilet. It's so much lighter as well so I actually love it in comparison. I can handle brushing up the mess it leaves, no big deal. This also clumps a lot better and uses a lot less.

Great stuff.
Used this for years. Lasts ages and we have five cats. Clumps/poop easy to remove and can flush down the toilet without blocking. Litter like new once clumps taken out. I use three large litter trays and fill them high (5 inches worth) then only need to top up once a week. Keeps the litter tray clean. Only annoyance is that is does track but the benefits outweigh that one negative.
Worst litter I've tried
I only bought this because the cat litter i usually buy had sold out. I've had cats literally all my life and this is the worst cat litter I've tried. It's even worse than the cheap non-branded gravel cat litter you get from supermarkets. It's only semi-absorbant and the stuff gets EVERYWHERE even more so than other cat litters I've tried. I won't be buying again.

Best litter out
I started to use this litter when I became a registered Persian cat breeder. It is excellent and economical to use I have 7 Persians now as I no longer breed them and have no smell or dust or mess around the trays. The only problem I found with this litter was that when I had litters of kittens they tended to roll in it and get it in their coats a layer of wood chip over the top of this litter stopped this happening. Have used it for over 10 years now and wouldn't use anything else.

best cat litter ever
Every other cat litter stinks compared to this one. This has the least odor and lasts for ages. I won't use any other litter now.

Traps odors and easy to clean!
Best cat litter I have used so far. Traps odors quickly, easy to clean thanks to its clumping nature, and does not create unpleasant dust! And my cat has no issues with it which is the most important factor.

So impressed, I change the litter so infrequently now
This is so good at clumping, and does trap the odour well. Once you've removed the clumps, the litter is fully clean and dry again (unlike mineral litter I was using before). I go probably even more than the suggested 7 weeks between changing the litter, and the cat is still happy to use it. I find it helps to use A LOT of litter at once, I have a large tray so I fill it up quite a lot.

3 cat household - Great in many ways
Overall better than biokat diamond since one of my cats always has diarrhoea. Clumps really well and there is minimal wastage. Smell is okay, not as nice as biokat, and I do find this tracks a lot more than biokat, but it really does manage diarrhoea amazingly, and it’s much friendlier on the environment :)
Used to be amazing but now tracks everywhere
I had been using this cat litter for many years with no problems. It absorbs all odours, clumps well and is easy to scoop. However, recent batches have been dreadful, the grains are small and dusty and my cat tracks this everywhere (she is short haired and I have a litter mat). Such a shame, it's bad enough that now I am trying other brands

Very impressed will always buy!
I can’t believe I never heard of this cat litter until a week ago! Before I was using wooden pellets and it needed to be cleaned out fast as the smell of cat urine filled the room and was non clumping.
So I looked for alternatives and found Cats Best original litter and the difference is amazing!
No smell at all! It clumps well so it’s very easy to clean out and can even flush down the loo, my cats used it straight away could be because it’s softer on the paws unlike pellets they felt sharp

It's messier than it used to be
We have used this litter for years and it used to be great, with 5 cats we need a good litter! However they seem to have changed it. It's dustier than it used to be and the tracking is horrendous. I'm currently looking for a similar litter with better reviews.

BEST EVER !!! LIFE CHANGER
Since adopting a 6mnth rescue kitten and now a year later another 6mnth kitten, this has been the best cat litter purchase.
We are in a flat, so containing smell is crucial ✅, absorbs everything ✅, FLUSHABLE ✅, LASTS FOREVER ✅
i have tried this product against other litters, but NO WAY do they come close to this product. Forever will we buy this litter.

Product has changed
I've only ever used this product and my last order I see they have made the litter smaller so that it actually gives off a dust! Its terrible and I'll not be buying this again if I can find an alternative.

changed formula
I have always raved about this cat litter and used it for years with three cats and recommended it to everyone.
The formula had 100% changed though - smaller grains and very dusty, tracks to the point I'm hoovering 2x a day!!
I shall be trying a different litter.

Very fast shipping
wow !!Very fast shipping! Just next day

Definitely the Best Cat Litter
With 7 indoor only cats, litter is a priority. I’ve tried quite a few different brands, but thoroughly love Cat’s Best. Suitable for disposable in the recycle bin which reduces landfill. Nice aroma and not as dusty as previous brands. Highly recommended.

Changed Quality Calculation
Cannot believe this manufacturer would think people wouldn’t notice! I have been using this product and recommending it to friends & family for years, only to find how messy it’s become. It seems to have sawdust mixed in which means the cats are getting stuck in their paws and tramping it all over the carpets. Nothing more annoying to find cat litter on the bedsheets! If manufacturers are going to cheat customers, at least have the decency to mention it! Original it’s not😡

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 way bigger than I've ever seen 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.
