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

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😡

Very messy!
This absorbs smells and liquids brilliantly and is very lightweight. Perhaps too much so. Within 2 hours of putting this in the litter tray it looks as if I’ve had builders in for months. I’ve got 3 indoor cats, so use of the litter tray is pretty heavy but I’ve never had this problem with any other litter. When a cat gets off my lap there is cat litter on me. It’s been tracked everywhere in the house. It’s a real shame, because it would be great if it wasn’t for that. I’d never buy it again.

Clumps well, doesn’t smell, tracks like a bugger though
Used this litter for over 2 years now, it clumps really well (you’ve got to leave the pee a little bit so it can firm up), and doesn’t stink with regular scooping. Occasionally a bag will be a little dustier but it’s not a huge amount and has never been a problem.
My only problem is it tracks so much, but we’ve tried different brands and different textures and they all get out but this one tracks more in my opinion. Or perhaps my boy has sweaty sticky paws. We’ve got a mat to combat it now.

I’m sticking with this litter!!
I ventured out & tried others but man oh man never again. This really does keep odour at bay. And it’s the cheaper of other similar types. The only issue w this is it does scatter.

Very good litter
It is very tidy litter, no dust, good odour control, clams into perfect small balls easy to remove. Really great!

Perfect for us
It clumps well and doesn’t create much dust. If you clean the litter box regularly, it doesn’t smell. Some gets carried out on their paws, but with daily sweeping around the toilet, it’s not a problem. Our cats don’t like scented litter, so this is perfect for them.

I always buy it. Good price.
It's just a shame that zooplus packs it in a big box. It would easily fit in a slightly smaller one if the top packaging was bent. And it makes a difference to me, because I prefer to collect my deliveries from the parcel locker.

It's not the same anymore
I’ve seen that other people have had the same experience as me.
I bought it for two years, it was really excellent.
For months now, it’s not the same anymore.
It DOESN’T CLUMP anymore.
As for the smell, unfortunately I’ll have to try again because I bought a similar one, but the bad odour isn’t neutralised.

Lately, it gives off dust
I've always used this litter and been really happy with it, but lately it's been giving off loads of dust. Even when I scoop it, I end up coughing from all the dust—imagine what it's like for the cats. I'm thinking about switching to a different one.

Brilliant
I've been using this litter for a few months now and honestly I don't regret it at all, it's really great. Plus, with a big bag I can fill five litter trays and still have some left over, so it's really good when you have several cats.

The sand is very dusty, which is a shame because it goes a long way and clumps well.

Almost dust-free but clumping is mediocre
I previously used cat litter from Lidl and wanted a low-dust option. I'm very happy with this cat litter because it's quite low in dust and absorbs odours well.
However, I'm unsure about the quality of its clumping. It does form clumps, but the pee clumps break apart when I try to clean the litter box. The pee stays fairly wet, which is annoying because it leaves small bits of litter behind that already contain pee. As a result, the litter needs to be replaced more often.

Cat litter
The litter is fantastic, really efficient, clumps instantly, doesn’t get all sticky, and the bottom of the tray stays clean. I’ll only be ordering this one from now on.

The best
Our favourite: it lasts a long time, doesn’t leave dust everywhere (like the stone one), clumps well...
Negatives: it sticks quite a bit—leaves marks and it’s a bit pricey.

Very good cat litter
Great cat litter, the cats are happy, it clumps nicely and smells like wood. The pieces used to be a bit bigger, so now they spread it around the flat more, but it's still good and much better than the original bentonite one.

Excellent!
I've been using this litter since 2011 and it allows me to avoid bad smells in the house because I can flush it down the toilet. It's odourless so it doesn't bother me, and it doesn't contain any toxic substances for my pets. Finally, it's clumping and absorbent.
