Best litter ive found so far
Tried wood, clumping, non clumping, silca, corn litter and so far this is the best. Doesnt smell when cleaned regularly, clumps very well large balls if left for a few days, easy to remove, disintegrates faster than a piece of toilet roller paper ( yep i did try it to make sure was bio degradable) would not stop buying this litter. Cats like it too

No more smells
Bought from the local pet shop I love it. You can scoop out the clumps down the toilet. Pull the flush easily. No more smells. I noticed how it did not smell like cat San and select smells of cat wee bad this may be expensive but it's worth it for my cats Happy

Excellent cat litter
I finally found a cat litter I will buy again and again. It's good for smells, it's natural, it doesn't stick to the litter tray. I can't fault this one.
Really the best cat litter I have ever used
Marvellous stuff, after experimenting with most types of litter, I have finally found the best. Lasts for ever. It doesn't smell after weeks of use, I can even have the tray in the hall! The only thing is sometimes you get a few crumbs outside of the tray as it can get caught in Puddys fur.

Good biodegradable litter
It clumps well and my cat likes it the only downside is because my cat has long fur it sticks to him so when he gets out of the litter box it goes on the floor but I am very happy with this litter
Good stuff except it leaves trails
I've been using this for my cats' litter box for several years. First I chose the pellets but then decided on the original as the pieces are smaller and the cats found it easier to cover their mess. The downside is that I found it leaves more trails around the litter box than standard fullers earth type litters so my broom/mop is employed on a more frequent basis. With two cats who drink a lot, a bag of 40L lasts me about 4 months, so worth the money.

Litter robot
Doesn’t work with litter robot so now have to scoop the old fashioned way *sigh*

Rubbish
Worst litter I've had. Thought I try it because of the good reviews. It did not clump, it was just a soggy mess. It's the worst litter for tracking (could be because the cats are huge 22lbs.,). Even when new I still had to follow with the hoover. Would not buy it again.
Litter is good, but packing is nearly broken
Litter is good, used for many years already. But Zooplus's packing... I can't say it really bad, because the paper bag have 3 layers. But outer 2 layer already broken, luckily the last layer is strong enough... So everything still inside paper bag. And the outer delivery box is totally fine. So I only can guess is Zooplus's packing issue... Or their storage issue?
Not my favourite
I thought I'd try something biodegradable, and my first impressions weren't bad. But I have to say it doesn't clump nicely. It's just this kind of wet mess and I ended up scooping out far more than necessary, which is wasteful. My cat doesn't seem to mind it and there's hardly any tracking compared to me previous one but it doesn't smell great. There's also not much dust which also works in its favour.

The Worst Cat Litter Ever!
Purchased this when it was on offer due to the rave reviews.
It is by far the worst litter we have EVER tried. It did not neutralise any odour at all. The litter trays were stinking after just a day. The whole of downstairs smelt like a month old warmed up wee ridden litter tray!
It also tracked around the whole house, even made it into our bed! Constantly having to vacuum!
Couldn’t take it, had to throw the lot in the bin as the smell and additional housework were making me ill.

Disappointing
Thought I would try it but not for me. The cats are not keen and it breaks up when taking it out of the try. Just goes mushy. Wil go back yo my old little as was much better.

Cats like it, We don't
The litter clumps well as advertised. Good at keeping smells down. However, there is so much dust we had to buy an airpurifier. There is a fair bit of dust in the bags, but after a week or so of being moved around the tray, more dust develops, possibly due to the pieces breaking up. The other big issue is it tracks everywhere. We have 3 boxes downstairs and it tracks round all the rooms, even upstairs. Finding this cat litter in your bed is a big no-no! Catch mats don't work either.

Game changer
I’m just coming back for my fourth order of this cat litter. I have two house cats in an apartment with three litter trays and I kid you not, the last of these huge bags has lasted me almost a year. It clumps and can be flushed if you’re careful as it’s vegetable based. It also massively reduces odour. The downside is my fluffy pawed ones trample it all over the house but you just have to sweep and hoover a bit more. It’s worth it for how long lasting, odour reducing and all round ace this is.

Clumps well
I don’t think you can expect not to have any tracking of the litter. As for odour absorption, my cats could poo next to me and there’s little smell. The food you put into the cat causes the bad aroma.
All in all this litter is preferable to allowing my cats to go outdoors.
Users ; one Mainecoom and one domestic shorthair.
Three XXL litter trays uses 40l of litter every 6 month or so.

Great litter
Clumps incredibly well, far better than any other clumping litters I've tried. Is nice and soft on my Ragdoll kittens tiny feet and she's very happy to go to the Toliet here! Does track a small amount but doesn't bother me 😊
The best I’ve used
Best I’ve used, clumps so easy to clean and definitely controls odour
Best on the market.
Best on the market. I have been buying this for 7 years and would not replace it.

Good litter
Clumping is good and does hide smell quite well compared to the others. You do get good use out of it before having to replace the litter, however still would suggest odour eliminator or fresh air ventilation in the area where the litter is

Brilliant stuff
Why didn't anyone tell me about this before. Expensive but in the long run works out to be cheaper. No smell and the litter tray doesn't need a complete clean out so often.

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.

Dusty
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.
