Until about 1.5 years ago, I was thrilled with this litter. Then something was changed, and it started to smell awful and no longer clumped properly. Now, after a long break, I’ve given the litter another chance, and I find it as good as it used to be!

I've been using this litter for almost 7 years now, but lately, the quality has really gone downhill. It clumps very poorly, starts to smell quickly, and I'll have to switch to a different litter. Such a shame!

Hello, I agree with the opinion. I've been using it for 4 years now, and lately, it crumbles more than it clumps. However, that's the only downside.

I’ve had the impression for quite some time now that the quality of the litter has significantly deteriorated. I’ve been using this litter for 5 years; it never smelled and clumped well. But now, our cat is already showing signs of uncleanliness because the litter starts to stink terribly after a very short time, the clumps don’t hold at all anymore, and everything crumbles. Unfortunately, I’ll have to switch to something else...

I've been using cöbp for 3 years now, and I also think that the clumping ability has deteriorated recently – always soft, always falling apart, and remnants stay in the toilet... However, I can't confirm that the wood scent has diminished, nor that the litter box smells bad more quickly. That said, I have outdoor cats, so the litter box is only used sporadically, which might mean I'm not the best judge on that point. Aside from that, it would be great if a suitable litter scoop could finally be offered – the standard coarse one is too coarse, as contaminated pieces from the crumbling clumps fall through as well.

The litter is very good. As described: economical, clumps well, and binds odours. It’s also well accepted by the cats. But the downsides: Since the litter is very light, the cats carry it everywhere. It gets stuck in their paws. I’m constantly hoovering!

The best cat litter I've ever had!!!! It doesn't stick and smells fresh! And it lasts much longer than others!!!!

I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and I think this cat litter is simply the best. I only need to completely change it every two weeks, and the clumps don’t fall apart when sifting them out. I always recommend Cat’s Best Öko Plus to friends and acquaintances.

We used Catsan Hygiene Plus for our now-deceased tomcat and were very satisfied with it. Based on recommendations and the good reviews here and in various tests, we decided to go for the supposedly better CBÖP for our new tomcat and are extremely disappointed: it barely clumps, making the "lump disposal" tedious and time-consuming. Additionally, a large amount gets scattered out of the litter box when scratching – we’ll probably switch back to Catsan!

I had been searching for the "right" cat litter for a long time. It should clump, contain no additives that don't belong in it (asbestos, fibres that harm the lungs, etc.), and it shouldn't really smell when in use. I used Cat's Best years ago and have now come back to it. The downside is that my cats carry these "crumbs" all over the flat. That was the reason I looked for a different cat litter. But that's down to the cat, not the litter. I'm sticking with it.

My cats like the litter, though it's not great that the stones end up scattered around the flat. The clumping is excellent, and the flat doesn't smell of cat. I'm thrilled. I hope it stays this way; otherwise, I'll switch back.

I use it for my two cats. They love it, and so do I ;)

I discovered this litter back then through zooplus and have been absolutely thrilled ever since. At the time, I tried out other types of litter without knowing better, but they always smelled, crumbled, or ended up being a hassle, etc. But with CB Öko Plus, there's no more unpleasant odour. It clumps perfectly, I clean it several times a day, I don't need much, and most importantly: my cat loves it. It's a litter she doesn't even lie down in or spend ages scratching around in :D My conclusion after over a year of use: It's staying in the household, no ifs or buts. A fantastic litter.

The litter spread all around the cat litter box and was carried through half the flat. In my opinion, it didn’t bind odours at all, but it does smell very fresh and woody when opening and filling the litter box. Unfortunately, my cats didn’t like it at all and instead chose corners in the flat. I’ve therefore switched back to the litter they were used to. On the positive side, it’s worth mentioning that individual clumps can be disposed of in the litter box (for example, if a big smelly clump is made after cleaning the box, which would otherwise spread its scent throughout the flat).

This cat litter is very good in terms of clumping and odour control, and you can dispose of it via the toilet. However, at least with my tomcat, it sticks to his paws and ends up being spread all over the flat. It's just everywhere.

I used to be an enthusiastic user of Premiere clumping litter, but I started to worry because my tomcats lick the residue off their paws when cleaning themselves, and having concrete in their stomachs is definitely not ideal. On top of that, we were getting more and more grey streaks and marks around the house. So, we switched to Cats Best Öko Plus. My boys complained because the litter was scattered everywhere, but I stood my ground because I liked the smell and was quite impressed, even though the clumps were nowhere near as good as the previous litter. However, my enthusiasm has faded with the last two packs. The litter tray starts to smell horrendous after a short time—you might as well put newspaper in the tray... Plus, the litter is incredibly dusty. So, we’ll have to start looking for an alternative again. What a shame.

Cat's Best is the best cat litter I’ve ever bought. One pack lasts me a long time. This natural product is pleasantly light and soft – a real relief compared to other products available on the market. That’s why I keep recommending Cat's Best to everyone.

For years, I used this product and was thrilled with it. Great clumping properties, optimal odour control, a pleasant wood scent, and—an important point if you have many cats—very economical. However, the quality has deteriorated significantly over the past year. First, the wood scent disappeared, then it barely clumped at all, and after just two days, there was an unpleasant stench of cat urine, making a complete cleaning of the litter box necessary. For the price, that's simply unacceptable! At first, I thought I’d just gotten a bad batch, but the next two bags were also subpar, and the quality continued to decline. I wouldn’t recommend this product anymore and have since switched to a different litter. CBÖP now only has the quality of discount-store litter.

I’ll join the chorus of those reporting a decline in quality. It’s true. I’m a big fan of Cat’s Best Öko Plus, have always recommended it, and only buy the 40-litre packs since I have several cats. But the clumps just don’t hold together anymore, and the odour control is nowhere near as good as it was a year ago. Even in a multi-cat household, you used to only need to completely change the litter boxes every 2–3 weeks; topping them up was enough, nothing smelled, and the absorbency was impressive and lasted a long time. Now, however, the litter boxes need changing after just one week at the latest, there’s an unpleasant smell, and there’s a long trail of litter outside the boxes. I don’t know for sure, but I get the impression the litter is wetter than it used to be, which is why it’s not as good anymore. And this, despite the fact that the price has noticeably gone up here at Zooplus.

This litter tracks terribly. I've found it everywhere in our house including on our bed. I have mat outside the litter tray but it doesn't help. The litter clumps well but sticks to the bottom of the tray, which was a pain to clean until I placed some paper at the bottom. Because of the tracking issues I have not bought this again.
