Clumps very well, highly efficient, super economical to remove from the Modkat using the litter scoop, and flushable in the toilet. On top of that, it's environmentally friendly, the cats like their litter box, and in bulk, it's really affordable. 40 litres last us, thanks to Modkat, almost 3 months for 2 cats – full marks!

My cat is just as thrilled as I am with this litter. I used to always use mineral litter, which left everything covered in dust and had a strange smell. Since I started using this cat litter, I no longer have these problems. The litter is very economical, clumps well, and does an excellent job of neutralising odours. Plus, you can dispose of it in the organic waste bin or in small amounts on the compost. So, it's also environmentally friendly. Hence, my recommendation!

I’ve been using this litter for years, and I really considered it the best. However, the quality has drastically declined over time. It’s no longer as effective at controlling odours and, most importantly, it’s not clumping well anymore. As soon as you try to remove the clumps, they mostly fall apart, leaving several small clumps in the toilet. The broken clumps can’t be completely removed from the toilet either. This might also be a reason why the odour control isn’t as good anymore. The litter spreading around has always been an issue with my cat, but that’s just down to my cat. It never really bothered me because clumping and odour control were the most important factors for me... For everything else, there’s a vacuum cleaner ;-)

For years, I’ve been using CBÖP litter for my two indoor cats, and it was fantastic—no smell, solid clumps, economical. Unfortunately, the quality has gone downhill. The clumps are now just mushy piles that fall apart when disposing of them, it smells musty, the litter spreads all over the flat, and what sticks to the fur when damp is almost impossible to remove from the sofa or armchair once dry—I have to scrape it off. Once I’ve used up the last bit of the 40-litre bag, I’ll reluctantly have to start looking for a new litter.

In terms of absorbency, odour control, and disposal, this litter definitely deserves full marks – the downside, however, is that the individual granules are so light that our furry friend happily tracks them all over the house. Having to vacuum 100 square metres twice a day isn’t exactly what I’d call "eco-friendly"... For this reason, I’ve reluctantly switched back to mineral litter.

I’ve been using this litter for 5 years and was always thrilled with it. However, the last few times my opinion has completely changed. The manufacturer has altered something. It no longer clumps and crumbles apart entirely. Cleaning the litter box is no fun at all at the moment, as it takes up way too much time to fish out the individual clumps… unfortunately, unfortunately, very poor! I’ll be looking for another manufacturer.

We have 2 cats, and especially in this hot weather, the typical "litter box smell" develops quickly in the cat toilet. So, we tried Cat's Best and are very happy with it! It doesn't smell at all and is economical, as you don't need to remove much litter when there are clumps. Both cats accepted it straight away, even though the younger cat is very sensitive when it comes to "her" litter box. If something doesn't suit her or smells too much, she's already peed in our bedroom several times – but with this litter, that doesn't happen anymore! Even my weekend visitors didn't notice anything about the litter box. One star is deducted because (as other users have already mentioned) the larger clumps sometimes break apart when being removed, and because the litter tends to spread throughout the apartment. Overall, it's a great litter, and we will only buy Cat's Best Öko Plus from now on.

I will never buy such disgusting litter again... The entire flat smells like a cow shed, even if you’ve thoroughly cleaned the litter box the day before. And that’s with just two cats... I think it’s outrageous and can only advise everyone against using this litter.

Unfortunately, the product was changed some time ago. It’s nowhere near as absorbent anymore, starts smelling like urine after a short time, and is also much harder to sift through. Visually, you can see that the litter has become much coarser. The used clumps crumble into bits and no longer hold together well. As a result, my animals track it around with their paws, which never used to happen. I won’t be ordering it again. Since it used to be the perfect litter for my ferrets before the change, I find this alteration very disappointing.

I was misled by the good reviews. Plus, I wanted to try out a biological litter for once. My conclusion: NEVER AGAIN! The litter clumps extremely poorly. When you scoop up the clumps with the shovel, they fall apart into individual clumps. If you then make the mistake of shaking the litter scoop to leave loose litter in the tray, the clump turns into 20 tiny clumps that I have to painstakingly fish out of the tray. Because of this, the litter is anything but economical. By avoiding shaking the litter scoop, you end up throwing away a decent amount of unused litter every time. Secondly, the litter starts to smell after a short time. After just five days, you can smell that there’s a cat litter tray in the room. And that really shouldn’t be the case! This happens even though I clean the tray twice a day and remove even the tiniest clumps. I’m honestly surprised my cat, with her sensitive nose, still uses it. Thirdly, the litter is very coarse-grained. Litter-catching mats in front of the tray only hold back the coarse grains slightly. Most of it ends up scattered around the house. Fine-grained litter isn’t a problem, but these large grains can really hurt if you step on them barefoot. All in all, I’m deeply disappointed and will definitely never buy this litter again!

I am really very satisfied with this litter. It clumps well, making it economical to use. It binds odours and produces far less dust than other litter I’ve used before (DM Hygiene Litter). However, the claim on the packaging that the base filling can remain in the litter tray for up to 6 weeks seems questionable to me for hygiene reasons. Here, the base filling stays in for two weeks, and then everything is thoroughly cleaned. By the way, I mix Cats Best Öko with DM Mein Bestes Wood Litter, which is cheaper but also a bit coarser.

I got my cat fairly recently but have already tried out a few types of litter – mostly clumping litter. Regular clumping litter – no matter the brand – smells, even though I clean the litter box every day or every other day (scoop out the clumps, add a bit of fresh litter). It was particularly bad with the Bianca litter from Penny (coarse-grained). What bothered me about clumping litter was that disposal is inconvenient: bin bags. And especially on the third floor, the bags get heavy quickly, and it’s annoying. I also thought it would be better for the animal to switch to eco-friendly litter. So, I decided to go for eco-litter. **PROS** I have to say, the odour control is excellent. There’s no smell anymore compared to before. On top of that, the litter is extremely economical. The wood flakes don’t stick much to the droppings. It seems to me like only the liquid is absorbed... So, I’m sure this giant bag (40L) will last me several weeks. **CONS** However, despite having a mat, the cat tracks the litter all across the bathroom. This means vacuuming every day or at most every other day. I haven’t tried disposing of it via the toilet yet. That’s because I still had a bit of clumping litter left and mixed it in. I’ll give it a go, though. Apparently, it’s one flush per “clump.” I think that’s definitely exaggerated and reckon you’d need two flushes for the cat’s daily business overall. **CONCLUSION** Still, the price-performance ratio is great compared to many other litters – especially considering how economical it is. If it weren’t for the issue with the litter being scattered everywhere, it would be perfect for me. The flakes are just too loose and light. Nevertheless, I’ll keep buying it because I’m not too fussy about occasionally having a flake stuck to my foot.

We were looking for a new cat litter because we couldn't get our old one through zooplus. We came across this cat litter due to the many positive reviews. Well, what can I say – we are utterly disappointed. The cat litter smells awful, and now our hallway, where one litter box is located, as well as the bathroom with the second one, strongly smell like a cat toilet. It clumps moderately well, but at least it’s accepted. The litter is also much coarser than we had expected based on the photo. Conclusion: never again.

Love this litter. We have two Maine coons so go through quite a lot of litter. This litter is amazing, no more wee/ammonia smell. Highly absorbent and the fact it's biodegradable is a bonus! Have recommended to others. It's simply great

I have several indoor cats and have tried all kinds of cat litter. There are many good ones, but CBÖP is the first where I’ve been amazed to find that it has excellent odour control. You can’t smell the urine, just a bit of the poo, and that can be flushed straight down the toilet. Sure, it’s more expensive compared to other types, but if it makes both pets and humans happy...

Does not clump. Clumps fall apart.

We used to have litter from a well-known brand, and after just two days, it already started to smell again. With this litter, I can clean the litter box once a week, even with two cats. Brilliant, keep it up!!

It's incredibly economical – it lasts forever (almost three times as long as conventional clumping litter) – so the price is unbeatable. It's super lightweight – taking it to the bin without a strained back is possible! It doesn't stick to the bottom of the litter box like cement, as bentonite clumping litter tends to do when Mr and Mrs Cat dig all the way to the bottom... A note for the sensitive: it doesn't make that cringe-worthy crunching sound if a little pebble ends up on the tiled floor. Highly recommended!

The first litter that my allergy sufferers can tolerate 100%. Brilliant litter!!!

My three indoor cats love digging around in it: At first, it’s even dust-free – though that fades after several weeks of digging. The clumping is good, as long as you don’t touch it straight away. The scent is really pleasant. As soon as it starts to smell, you know it’s time to change the litter. For us, it lasts up to two months, depending on usage. However, the quality really used to be better...
