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.

Creates much more dust than before.
The litter has been used happily for several years now, but I'm currently considering switching to something else because, in my opinion, the dust development has increased significantly, which makes cleaning very unpleasant and is probably not great for the lungs either.

no longer satisfied
I've been using this litter for three years now. Unfortunately, I've noticed that the dust development has increased. The absorbency isn't as good anymore either; the urine clumps fall apart very quickly. I don't notice any bad odour because I clean the litter box twice a day. It's obvious that solid waste smells unpleasant—ours does too, doesn't it? Some cat food smells so strong that it's no surprise if the cat's faeces stink. When I notice my tomcat has been to the litter box, I simply clean it up—just like I do with my own.
The company really needs to do something about the dust development. I sift everything through a fine mesh sieve, which already removes quite a bit of dust from the litter box.
Otherwise, both my tomcat and I like this litter.

Simply brilliant
My ferrets love it.
It clumps really well, and you don't need as much. The best part is the disposal, as it saves on waste costs.
So, I love it, and my pets do too.

I've been using this litter for about 3 weeks now and I'm absolutely thrilled. All three of my cats accepted it straight away, and even our kitten now reliably uses the litter box. Before, we had silica litter, and there were frequent accidents outside the box.
The litter clumps really well—even if the cat pees just a minute before, it’s super easy to remove.
When a number two is done in the box, it smells for about 1–2 minutes, but then you don’t notice it anymore. If you sweep around the litter boxes in the morning and evening, the few crumbs don’t bother you at all.
Before buying, I read the reviews here and braced myself for the worst regarding dust. I've now used a 20L bag and a 40L bag, and so far, I’ve searched in vain for even the slightest bit of dust?!
Definitely highly recommended!

At the beginning...
... it "worked" great with the litter. I had a kitty who dutifully used the litter box, everything was fine. Only when she did her business, it took a while for the smell to go away.
In the meantime, I’ve got a second cat (a tomcat), and with him, everything smells much stronger than with my kitty.
Whenever he goes to the litter box, he spends ages in there pushing the litter from one side to the other—not because he enjoys it, but because the litter doesn’t immediately neutralise the smell. He frantically buries the stuff, making such a racket in the box that I always have to check on him. The stench that comes out is truly awful, and I always have to clean up with the scoop straight away.
So, if you’ve got a cat that’s "more odour-intensive," you’d be better off choosing a different litter... even if it has more chemicals in it.

Super!!!!
It smells like wood and the clumps are easy to remove. 40 litres lasted us a year, although Knut does go outside sometimes. We're satisfied.

The best litter we've had so far
The litter is fantastic. Even though my tomcat was initially scared of it – he wasn’t familiar with natural litter before. I tried putting him in it, but he braced himself with all four paws on the edge of the litter box. However, that was sorted out after a few hours (treats did the trick). It doesn’t stink, is super long-lasting, and finally, I don’t have so much waste from toilet disposal anymore. I have dark wooden flooring in my flat and mostly dark furniture. With other types of litter, I used to have paw prints everywhere, but that doesn’t happen at all anymore. Some litter still gets carried through the flat, but since it’s not as fine, it’s much easier to sweep up. Until now, I’ve only used litter with top ratings, but CBÖP beats them all by a mile! My 40-litre bag isn’t even half empty after five weeks with two cats!

This is the best cat litter I have ever used. Never another one, never again!!!!!!

AMAZING...

Super.
I have to say, the litter is really fantastic. It clumps immediately and is truly very, very economical. I have two Maine Coons, and they really produce more mess than enough. Still, I only need to do a complete change every three weeks. With my old litter, I had to do that every 2-4 days.
The only downside: the two of them spread the litter much further around the flat compared to the old litter. But I have to sweep up anyway, so it’s not a big deal.

Above all, I think it's brilliant that I can dispose of it via the toilet. The litter is also incredibly efficient. It doesn't smell either. My two furry friends accepted it straight away.

Good litter, but unfortunately not accepted
The litter initially impressed me: good clumping, a pleasant natural smell, and hardly any odour development. Plus, it’s pleasantly lightweight and can even be disposed of via the toilet! Unfortunately, one of my two cats didn’t accept it and showed me by starting to pee next to the litter box. After using the toilet with the eco-litter, both of my cats also began wheezing heavily every time, which had never happened before and really worried me... so it doesn’t seem to be as dust-free as claimed. But perhaps other cats might get along with it better.

4 1/2 stars is what I would have liked to give.
The volume and weight of the waste are significantly lower. With conventional litter, we could hardly move the bin anymore... The litter is indeed very efficient and was immediately accepted by our 6 tigers (Norwegian Forest Cats). However, a lot of the little crumbs get carried out in front of the toilet and within a 2-metre radius.
I can't detect any urine smell. However, the little piles of faeces are sometimes not buried as well anymore. I'm still very satisfied.

Simply brilliant!
I can't really say that it particularly reduces the smell from my two little stink bombs, but I clean it up after every little pile anyway, and in terms of handling, it’s simply unbeatable. Very lightweight, easy to dispose of in the toilet, and incredibly long-lasting!! So, honestly, highly recommended!!!

I love this stuff!
Having started my kitten on a cheap,non-clumping clay litter, I progressed to "worlds best" which was perceived by my four dogs to be a ready snack.
I love "cats best". It clumps really well, and only the soiled balls need to be replaced. The only smell is a faint "sawdust" one.
Although I needed to use a lot to fill the covered cat litter tray, only a small amount needs to be removed each time, making it very economical.

Absolutely recommendable
The best cat litter I’ve ever had. No more urine residue at the bottom of the litter box, as the urine is absorbed immediately. The smell of urine is greatly reduced. Cleaning the litter box becomes a casual chore.

Just awful, stink bomb
When I came into the living room in the morning, it smelled as if the cats had done their business somewhere on the floor instead of in the litter box. But that wasn’t the case; they had used the litter box as usual. The stench was revolting, and the litter hadn’t even been in there for 12 hours. After another 12 hours, one of the cats had already done its "business" in front of the litter box. Never again!!

Super
I am very satisfied. This litter is the best I’ve tried so far. Extremely efficient, excellent odour control, and clumps brilliantly! The speed of delivery is also commendable. Thank you and keep it up!

Human happy, furry friends not.
Our young cats have been used to a different litter since birth, but after the formula was changed, it just wasn’t good enough anymore. So, we ordered Cat's Best.
Smell is great, doesn’t create dust, all good, but both cats refused to use the toilet and staged a protest by doing their business right in front of their litter box.

Cats Best is fur-friendly.
My tomcat had been suffering from itchy fur on his tummy and the insides of his thighs for 3 1/2 years. He would lick his fur off and occasionally even make his skin sore. Nothing except cortisone could stop this for a certain period of time. He had varying degrees of skin itchiness, which also had to be treated with ointment. An allergy blood test showed no results. I had already resigned myself to the fact that I would have to intervene with ointments and occasionally cortisone. Then I switched the litter from fine bentonite clumping litter to Cat's Best Eco Litter. Since then, the cat no longer scratches himself constantly, his fur is growing evenly on his tummy again, and there are no more sore spots. This benefit is so significant for me that I gladly accept the small downside, which is that the litter is more easily spread around the flat by my three indoor cats. Moreover, the litter smells more pleasant.

Almost perfect!
When pouring it in, it’s admittedly a bit dusty, but that settles quickly and it has a pleasant forest floor scent. It clumps well and doesn’t smell at all, even when I’m standing right next to it, which is very important to me since the litter box is in the bathroom. My Coonie christened the litter just 10 minutes after filling it, so my worry that she might not accept it was quickly forgotten. The sand effect is stronger than with other litter, but it’s always confined to the bathroom and can be quickly swept away with a hand brush. Additionally, it’s nice and lightweight, and you can carry 20 litres up to the fourth floor, which is definitely a plus for me.
All in all, the only downside is the sand effect, but everything else is spot on :)
