4603 reviews forCat's Best Original Cat Litter

I've tried a lot of different products before, but I bought this one more out of necessity, and I've been super satisfied ever since and stuck with it straight away. At first, the price put me off a bit, but it’s definitely worth it because it’s really economical to use—it beats all the other litters I know. On top of that, it clumps well, smells pleasantly like wood shavings, is biodegradable, and the cats like it too!

I really can't understand all the positive reviews... Has something about the composition or similar been changed? It creates dust like crazy, and odour control is almost non-existent. I always have to remove the piles immediately. I'm giving it a 3 because at least I can flush it down the toilet, my tiger uses the litter box without complaining, and the clumping is quite good (at least it doesn't form huge clumps like Catsan...). I bought 20 litres, and once it's used up, I definitely won't be buying it again...

I’ve had plenty of good, clumping cat litters before. What I particularly like about this one is that it’s biodegradable. That means I can dispose of it in the organic waste bin without any worries. What could be improved is the size of the granules... a clump isn’t quite as easy to sift out (compared to finer litter), and the cat spreads it around the litter box more... but otherwise, TOP!!

Cat's Best is the best cat litter I’ve ever bought. It’s lightweight, doesn’t smell, clumps nicely, and you can remove the clumps very easily. Really fantastic!

Absolutely terrible odour control, plus the cats often had urine-soaked residue stuck to their paws after using the litter box and ended up smearing it all over the house. The clumps break apart relatively quickly and sometimes stick quite strongly to the bottom of the litter tray. Our cats don’t really like this litter either; they seem to prefer the more "sandy" types.

I thought I'd give this litter a try, but to be on the safe side, I only bought a small bag to start with. That turned out to be a good decision. My old cat litter was actually very good (low consumption, good clumping, environmentally friendly), but it was extremely dusty, so I was looking for a low-dust alternative. Here’s my opinion on Cats Best Öko Plus: **Positive aspects:** + Very lightweight to carry. + When using the Litter Locker, its waste bags are much lighter compared to other litter. + It’s very eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable. + It clumps quite well. **Negative aspects:** - It’s less dusty than my old litter, but if you’re allergic to small animal litter or similar, you’ll still react with sneezing—at least that’s how it is for me. - It sticks to cat paws and fur and gets spread all over (!) the flat. - My cat isn’t too thrilled about it. She uses it dutifully but prefers other litter if there are two different toilets available. - It consists of both large and small particles. If you want to sift the clumped waste with a litter scoop to save the clean litter, it’s difficult even with a scoop that has wider gaps. However, the gaps can’t be too wide either, as dirty litter would fall through. If you shake the scoop a bit harder, the clumps easily crumble and fall through again. Honestly, I don’t see what’s supposed to be so great about this litter. I’ll keep searching for a low-dust litter and, in the future, I’d rather carry heavier bags again. Such a shame!

I bought Cats Best to try it out and, unfortunately, I’m disappointed with the results. It’s really bad when it comes to odour control and, sadly, smells awful. Flushing it down the toilet could also go wrong in the long run.

I bought this litter for my ferrets, and they took to it straight away. The clumping isn’t as strong as I was used to with other litters for my cats in the past, but at least I don’t have to worry about the ferrets sticking their noses in it now. It’s also low on odour and very absorbent.

We only used the litter for about 4 months and always disposed of small "portions" via the toilet. We really appreciated the convenience of being able to dispose of the litter through the toilet... until now... Because now, for the second time, our toilet is clogged because of it! So, our conclusion: A litter that CAN'T be disposed of via the toilet can be bought cheaper elsewhere. We're switching to a different one! What a shame!

I can't understand how this product can be rated positively. Odour control is poor. Clumping is unsatisfactory. Dust formation is tolerable. It sticks to the paws and gets spread all over the flat. I actually have my regular cat litter that I'm happy with, but it's very expensive. Because of the many positive reviews, I thought I'd give this one a try—honestly, never again. Even the cheap litter from Lidl is better than this.

I’ve been using this product for a long time, and I was very happy with it, but the quality has changed—it’s not as good anymore, and the price has gone up.

It clumps well, is lightweight, and has a pleasant woody scent. The typical cat litter smell was immediately banished, and I would keep ordering it. However, after half a year, my cat suddenly stopped using it. She didn’t enjoy scratching in the wood pellets, and during her first heat, she only used the litter box for defecating but no longer for urinating. She found herself a more absorbent spot :( Even after her heat (now pregnant), she still didn’t return to her litter box, so we switched back to regular clumping litter, and hooray, she’s clean again and loves scratching in the heavier clay. # My daughter didn’t like the smell of Cat’s Best Öko Plus cat litter from the start; it made her feel sick. #

A major advantage of this litter – it’s pure eco as it’s plant-based, and you can actually dispose of it in the toilet without any issues. The clumping is good, and the consumption is relatively low, which brings the price down to an acceptable level. But unfortunately, those are the only advantages. Let’s move on to the disadvantages, which, in my experience, clearly outweigh the positives. This very light and coarse litter gets spread quickly and widely throughout the home. The longer the cats’ fur, the worse the litter distribution. Initially, Cats Best Öko hardly produces any dust, but the more the cats walk through it or dig in it, the dustier it gets. In a practical test, I didn’t completely change the litter for 4 weeks, only topped it up, and by the third week, Cats Best Öko was at least as dusty as a low-quality bentonite litter. The smell in its unused state is reminiscent of a forest, but in its used state, it’s far less pleasant. It takes some getting used to and isn’t necessarily suitable for sensitive noses. The waste volume is unexpectedly large, but for many, this is likely a minor issue when disposing of it via the toilet. Contact with fresh, mushy urine clumps should be avoided! The mushy residue on paws leaves very difficult-to-remove marks on carpets, tiles, or linoleum! And it’s even worse if it’s already dried! The same applies to the bottom of the litter tray, so it’s best to always fill it to a height of at least 10 cm. This litter was one of six test candidates I tried out in 2011, each for about 12 weeks. My three litter trays were always filled differently. While one was filled with Cats Best Öko, the other two were filled with Coshida Lidl litter and Biokats Micro. The favourite of this test group was clearly Biokats for all four cats, followed by Lidl litter, and Cats Best Öko unfortunately came in last by a significant margin. Two of my four cats never wanted to use Cats Best Öko, and the other two only used it when the other two trays were already too heavily used. A shame, because the idea behind this litter is really good…

I've been using this litter for a very long time, but I have to say that the quality has completely changed. The granules have become very hard, so the clumping ability is almost non-existent. When you scoop it out, you end up with lots of small or larger lumps, and the soaking time doesn't make any difference. Since it absorbs moisture very poorly, the wetness immediately reaches the bottom and sticks there. Such a shame – I used to be very satisfied with it, even though it was a bit dusty, it always clumped really well. What a pity, I hope it was just this one batch...

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.

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.

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!

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.

... 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.
