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.

My favourite litter
I really like this cat litter
I was previously using wood pellets which left so much sawdust and we were disposing of such large quantities of litter
With this one it will clump together and we are disposing of much less. It is so much easier to clean out the tray.
Cats still track around the house but not as bad as before, the old wood pellets became a ball !!
On negative side, doesn't smell as nice as the wood pellet litters do. I also am yet to try composting with this

All but the mega pack are good
I like this litter but find that the mega bag which ive ordered a few times now tends to be much dustyier and finer than the other sizes. I suspect this is due to the weight of the bag crushing its own contents. I've now order the next size down.
It does well at odour control smelling initially of cut wood which i like and clumps well. As mentioned unless you buy the mega bag it isn't very dusty It does track a few metres but I'm pretty sure thats true for all litter.

Treads all over the floor and carpets - Messy!!
I usually buy Benek but it was out of stock. I used recycled paper crumbs a while ago and this is very similar in type, it’s lightweight and sticks to the cats feet, tail and nose so the house is littered with bits of this lightweight litter. Wil Not buy again
The BEST cat litter
No dust, no smell and great clumping to reduce
waste. I wouldn’t buy any other cat litter. It may seem expensive but lasts a lot longer than other litter. Definitely worth the money.

Very messy
I wanted to try this as its economical but it sticks to my cats feet and walks through the house. It also clumps really badly. I’m going back to my old make but am really disappointed.

Cats best
Love this kitty litter. I have 7 cats, so economical litter is a must. Absorbent, odour reducing and biodegradable
|
Not ideal for medium-long hair cats
This is a good product but as I have a medium-long hair cat I found it get attached to her fur easily and tracks a lot. Hopefully this would not be the case for short haired cats.

Great cat litter
Easy to use, reduces odor significantly, good value for money.

Really pleased
I only like clumping cat litter, usually clay. Tried wood pellets didn't like them, thought this would be the same, it's not.
So glad I decied to give it a try. There is less mess on the floor than with clay litter that goes everywhere!
3 cats!
Grains soak up urine so well that instead of having to fill up the tray with a 10l bag of clay every week without fail, I only have to top up once every two weeks. The balls of urine are so much lighter as well much easier to clean out, smell minimal!

Best cat litter
Easy to clean. Low odour. Best cat litter I have ever used. It goes a long way and having 8 cats that's saying something.

Cat’s Best original cat litter
This is by far the best cat litter I have used - and environmentally friendly too

Cat Litter
Very good cat litter does what it says it should.
Best choice!
I was used to buying cheap wood pellets and realised that there was a lot of waste. Decided to buy this one and the clumping part is brilliant! Less waste, less change-over’s!
DO NOT FLUSH DOWN TOILETS - TOXOPLASMOSIS WARNING
Brilliant litter - can't fault it.
HOWEVER....
DO NOT FLUSH DOWN LOO EVEN IF PERMITTED!
Cat faeces contains a nasty parasite TOXOPLASMOSIS which cannot be destroyed by sewage treatment; it is the parasite that can has devastating consequences for pregnant women. Sewage pumped into the sea containing toxoplasmosis has a devastating effect marine life in the eco chain, and as sewage cakes for fertilising farm lands it can infect wildlife etc. THROW AWAY - DON'T FLUSH.

Changed product?
I'm sure the litter has changed. It was lighter in colour before. This last month it is darker, dusty as hell and not containing smells very well. Disappointed if the product has been changed that's for sure.

Product quality declining.
I have used this product for a while now as I own 5 cats, it's a lot of litter trays. This product used to be the best thing ever, but my past 3 orders I've noticed a decline in the longevity and effectiveness of the product. Nearer the bottom of the bag is just dust not usable product (probably to make up the weight). It used to be such a great product, I would actively encourage friends to buy it by giving them samples of mine, not anymore. Will continue to look for an alternative meantime.

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.
