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

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.
Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)
It's a great product however when you buy the large pack it's mostly dust and not much litter. Very disappointing as I still use the product but now have to buy the smaller pack.
Overall a good litter
Having tried all sorts of clumping litter, I will probably stick with this one. My Scottish fold doesn't like clay and preferred to poop outside the box - I didn't like the clay dust. This litter clumps well, absorbs odour well and is so lightweight. The only negative to this litter is the tracking - I have to vacuum daily.

Best litter ever!
I love this litter. I have two cats and finally with this litter cant smell any odours. Clumping very good. Also 40l of this last for three months with two cats and two litter boxes at home. Very good price £24.99 for 40l .
My go to litter

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.

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.

We’ve been using this cat litter for years. Now it doesn’t clump like it should anymore and the litter smells worse.

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 dissatisfied, used to be better, doesn't clump properly.
The first ones we bought directly at Fressnapf were of higher quality.

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.
