Great Litter
I have 5 indoor cats, 2 are Maine Coons and I have 5 litter trays. This litter is the best I've found. The wee clumps into a ball, all contents easily removed with very little wastage. The down side, hence 4 * not 5*, litter is traipsed everywhere. It even gets matted into my slippers! For now I am sticking with this litter and would recommend.
Spreads EVERYWHERE!
This litter is actually ok in preventing smells from the tray and it’s easy to clean out as it clumps but it spreads all over the house. We bought mats to try and stop it but they’ve not helped at all - literally every room in the house gets covered and we are sweeping and vacuuming several times a day. Wood- based from the supermarket is much better.

Excellent product
Unlike so many other litters this lasts well, keeps the smell to a minimum, clumps properly and doesn't make excess mess (I find a lot of litters powdery which cats then walk everywhere!).

Best litter
Clumps so is easy to clear away

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 😊

Excellent product
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.
