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!

it has changed
I used to rave about this litter it used to be outstanding quality both low tracking and excellent clumping as well as virtually odour free for weeks before a full litter change was required.However the formula has changed at first I thought I had bought a dodgy batch as now finer grains that track everywhere!! also it leaves a very stale unpleasant smell after a couple of days and that’s after regular scooping . I am very disappointed, Ruined what use to be an excellent product , shame

Happy cat, happy owner!
Until now I was buying the cheapest littler I could find in the supermarket but a bag would only last me a week, and it was so stinky all the time.
This is more expensive BUT it lasts so much longer, it absorbs the smells, it's so much easier to clean up and scoop, and it's more eco friendly on top of that.
The only thing is it sticks to my cat's paws a bit and she tracks it around the house, but it's no big deal considering the pros. I'll be buying this in bulk for the foreseeable future!

Very convenient
When I got my little kitty we used normal clay litter but it was too messy so I decided to try this. In the beginning Diona didn't really want to use it unless i mixed it with the clay one and then we slowly transferred to this one fully and now both kitty and me are happy with the poopies. I don't think I will change this brand and type anytime soon. It's also environment friendly because you can flush it down the toilet.

Very disappointed.
After reading all the plaudits for this cat litter, I thought I would buy it. It is without a doubt one of the worst cat litters that I have ever used for my two cats. The cat litter disperses everywhere. It must stick to my cats paws because I am constantly finding it on my sofa, carpets etc. There is also a sickly smell that is quite overpowering, and I have to change the litter tray more frequently. For the price it is simply not worth the money.

Changed formula
What has happened to this litter? The litter has changed the grain is now much smaller so creates so much more mess. Also more dustier . Not great

Unfortunately not for us
We were really hoping to find a sustainable cat litter but this one just isnt for our cat.
It holds odour well, but we would find ourselves changing it more often than usual because it would biodegrade instantly (So i guess it does what its meant to do)
For us though we just cant keep up with needing to change litter as often as this one needs to be changed because it turns to mush so quickly.

Amazing
I have been using wood based or fullers earth cat litter for years with all my cats. My nephew suggested I try this as he uses it for his cat.
I am amazed at the way it works. There is next to no smell and the litter clumps into little lumps that are easily collected with a spade. No scraping the base of the tray. Cherry the cat seems pleased with it which is, for her, the most important thing.
Will defo stock up on this.

Great
I wasn’t sure when I first got it, as the cats seem to pad it round the house. But then I got a dyson upright hoover, and just give the place a quick blast every couple of days, which surprisingly my cats aren’t bothered about. Lasts a long time, clumps well, and no odour

It’s ok
This litter is ok and I generally only buy it when the Greenwood’s litter bit of this is not in stock.
I started with this brand but once I found Greenwood’s I didn’t go back.
The difference to the Greenwood’s is it tracks more and the odour control is not as good.
This is a good second to the other brand and better than nothing!
Best yet
Best litter we've ever found. Clumps nicely

Good litter but not perfect
Okay this litter has more pros than cons. It’s environment friendly, natural and good for kittens as well as adult cats. The only negative thing about it is the fact that it’s not the best smell-absorbing litter on the market. I would still recommend it because of all the positive things - Just make sure you clean the litter immediately after use.

Much better than another cat litter we tried
This cat litter is like little clumps of sawdust the size of peas, and absorbs fluid and smells. It also coats solid waste[!]
Other cat litter we have bought is wood pellets, also used for heating. It looks like shiny maggots and does not work as well.Cra

Excellent for long-haired cats
This litter is the best litter you can buy in my opinion! My cat has an extremely fluffy and long coat so she has a habit of getting litter stuck in her fur. Due to the clumping nature of the litter, she rarely has this issue anymore. Plus, the fact it clumps make it easy to dispose of down the toilet.

Excellent litter
Having used this product for quite a few years, the wastage on the poop scoop is minimal and flushes away without any problems. This is by far the best product for our 4 maine coons and little moggy. (Also got our breeder using it)Sometimes I do think they love flicking the litter everywhere but that's easy to remedy with the hoover.
Sustainable and cheap 💞💞💞💞💞
It's true is goes everywhere. Meaning I have an excuse to hoover few times a week 😎I still think the fact that you can throw it down the toilet and that it lasts for a long time (I add the"sand" instead of changing it) makes it unbeatable.

Great wood based litter
It clumps nicely, although sometimes they can split if it's not deep enough to make a tidy ball. There is no dust, no smell, and it absorbs the smell of the pee well. My cats are infuriatingly fastidious in covering their 'business' so they do kick it out everywhere, unfortunately one is so big I have no covered trays to prevent this. I've previously bought this from petsathome but these bags are so much bigger and the same price, so I will continue to frequent zooplus!

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.
