Customers appreciate this cat litter for its effective clumping and odour control, making it a long-time favorite for many. However, recent changes in formula have led to dissatisfaction, with complaints about reduced clumping, increased dust, and tracking issues. Despite these negatives, some users still find it economical and environmentally friendly, praising its lightweight nature and absorbency. Overall, while it has its drawbacks, the litter remains a popular choice for its original benefits.

Super Litter!
The best litter, absolutely recommendable. We clean our little one's toilets regularly.
- We remove the clumps and
- refill with some litter as needed.
- A complete change every 6 weeks is absolutely sufficient.
- Doesn't create dust, only minimal odour.
- Disposal via the toilet (except for complete changes, then in the organic waste bin).

Top-notch
For me, the best.
Doesn't smell at all, and my cat doesn't get anything stuck under her paws either.

Well...
When it comes to clumping and odour control, there's nothing to complain about... but the stuff ends up all over the cats' paws and gets spread around half the flat, which is just not acceptable. There are better cat litters out there.

Super litter that can even be disposed of in the toilet.
I'm really super satisfied with this litter! The pee clumps hold together firmly, you can dispose of them in the toilet (saves money on bin bags or LitterLocker), and once the little piles are scooped out, there's absolutely no smell anymore.
Super!!
And if a few bits of litter end up scattered in front of the toilet – which litter prevents that anyway? ;-) It's perfectly normal.

Hardly any tracking!!!
The reviews almost put me off because of the 'tracking issue' but i'm so glad i tried this litter!! I have put a piece of Vetbed by the entrance of the litter tray and have found no tracking whatsoever. I really love everything else about this cat litter too: the smell, the price, the clumping, the fact it is biodegradable, etc. My cats are also very pleased. Highly recommended :-)

Our Litter
We have two 9-year-old male tigers and have tried many types of litter in the past. There was always some flaw. This litter here is by far the best and has been our only cat litter for a good 4 years now. I clean the litter box once a day, and about once a month, it gets completely replaced. It’s very economical, binds odours perfectly, forms solid clumps, and usually, one flush is enough during daily cleaning. Additionally, it’s non-toxic, and any litter that ends up outside the litter box can be easily swept away. The litter grains are large enough that they don’t get stuck between the paws, so they don’t get spread around much either. 5 *****

Also suitable for many cats
I received a sample pack at an exhibition and then tried both varieties. I am now completely convinced by this one (ÖkoPlus). I breed Birmans and only have one litter tray(!), which is cleaned after every single use by a cat. Of course, this only works if someone is always around. Since we have a flat-flush toilet, disposal is super easy. We keep a small watering can next to the toilet, and the clumps are simply dissolved with the water jet and can then be flushed away without any problems. The slightly increased water usage is manageable, especially since our waterworks have urgently requested that more water be used to ensure the pipes still have enough flow.
The litter still doesn’t smell even after 10 days, provided that from the third day onwards, about 2-3 handfuls are topped up daily. This makes it extremely economical. The cats have taken to it very well, unlike the "Gold" variety. There are a few crumbs, but we’ve always had that with multiple cats, no matter which litter we used. Even the kittens like it, and most importantly, they don’t try to eat it, as they do with the white litters. The scent is always very pleasant and even noticeable to visitors. It smells like fresh wood, even when damp.

Actual clumps!
Finally a cat litter that actually clumps without forming layers of cement strata in the litter tray... Very important when you have large cats who wee like the Hudson River! What a relief. Yes, it does go everywhere but I have to sweep up every day regardless of the litter I use. The 40l bag is very heavy and awkward to move/fill up from but very good value.

Highly recommended
We took a sample pack home from the Green Week and are absolutely thrilled! Smell = none - just how we wanted it! Thank you.

Cats would shop differently...
This litter was my first choice because it’s environmentally friendly. However, it’s very lightweight, which meant it was regularly scattered outside the box when the cats scratched.
It was also, unfortunately, extremely dusty.
The real problem, though, was that it stuck to my cats’ paws and got spread all over the flat – even into the bed. I ended up buying a sandy litter and offered both options side by side, and the cats chose the sand...

Can't quite share the enthusiasm...
Luckily, our furry friends don’t really care which litter is being used—they’ll do their business in any litter ;). After reading so many positive reviews about this litter, I wanted to give it a try. The scent is indeed really nice; it smells pleasantly natural, like wood, and it’s also quite economical.
However, in my opinion, it’s hardly odour-binding at all. By the second day, the smell had spread throughout our entire flat. The pee clumps are just mushy in consistency, so there were actual puddles at the bottom of the litter tray. The option to dispose of the litter via the toilet initially excited me. But that enthusiasm quickly faded after the first attempt, as multiple flushes were necessary unless you want to risk clogging your toilet. And that’s anything but environmentally friendly.
All in all, it was interesting to try out this litter, but I certainly won’t be ordering it again.

The best litter of all time...
For me, this is truly the best litter I've had in the past 17 years. I already love the natural scent when you open the bag, and visually, I think it looks better than all the others. It’s excellent at binding odours, economical, and really easy to dispose of via the toilet. A full six weeks until the next complete change is easily manageable.

No smells but spreads everywhere!
This litter is quite granular in texture - a bit like the broken up bits of popcorn at the bottom of a bowl! It has great odour control and lasts a long time but spreads ALL around the house. I've never had this issue with any other litters and will go back to using Cat's Best Nature Gold which is a bit more expensive but stays in the litter tray.

Super - best bedding in years
After years of dealing with dust and odour issues from "traditional" cat litters, we are completely convinced by this product, and so are our three cats. Disposal is also worth 5 stars, as is the weight and consequently the handling. There’s been an increase in spreading around the house, but we wouldn’t deduct a star from the product for that.

Super
Very satisfied! It only starts to smell if you don’t clean it often enough ;-)
I’ve also had good experiences with flushing the droppings and clumped litter down the toilet.
All good!

For nature lovers, a must! :)
I was instantly blown away by this litter! The smell of fresh wood alone is simply amazing! I put it to the ultimate test. Normally, with 3 cats who unfortunately insist on using just one litter box, I had to completely clean the box every week because it started to smell! And I have to say, I didn’t change it once for a whole 3 weeks! I only scooped out the clumps during each bathroom visit! With other litters, I tried the same, but they always crumbled apart completely. Then came this litter! Perfect clump formation! Even after thorough sieving, the clumps held their shape! The wood granules seemed to soak up the liquid like magic! And it never smelled like urine at any point! After 3 weeks, I had to change it—not because it couldn’t last any longer, but because one of my cats was unwell. I’m convinced this litter could have lasted twice as long ;)

Impressive!
This stuff is amazing (although this is my first cat, so am easily pleased)! Clumps really well when wet which ensures the minimal amount of wastage. Masks the smell (of urine, at least). Flushes down the toilet and the rest is OK for the compost heap as and when you require! What more could you ask for!? The instructions were all in German but, on a visit to a pet shop I took a picture of the English ones. However, it's not rocket science...put 5cm or so in litter tray, clean out when required! I didn't have an issue with the smell of it out-the-bag and the cat doesn't seem to mind it!
