4603 reviews forCat's Best Original Cat Litter

For years, we used PREMIERE clumping litter and only switched because the small granules were scattered all over the flat. Due to the many positive reviews about Cats Best Öko Plus litter, we decided to give it a try, especially since it can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way via organic waste. We’ve now tested it for quite a long time and initially tolerated the occasional stink attacks from the litter box as exceptions. But after almost 4 months, we’re giving up and going back to the good old PREMIERE, even if it means vacuuming the flat a bit more often. The smell of Cats Best Öko is truly revolting. We clean the litter box daily, but as soon as one of the cats has used it, the stench is unbearable, and we have to open all the windows and doors to air out the place. Even our cats seem unhappy with the smell, as they go back to the litter box up to three times after doing their business, trying to bury it even more. Cleaning the litter box is also a nightmare for the lungs. The litter produces such sneaky dust that you end up coughing for a while afterwards. CONCLUSION: A good idea to develop litter for the organic bin, but the litter should still fulfil its main purpose!

I am very disappointed with this cat litter. It clumps poorly, and it's not as easy as with other types of cat litter to scoop up the clumps with the shovel, as the litter is very thick and the clean litter doesn't fall through the shovel. Sifting doesn't work as a result. Additionally, it absorbs odours very poorly. I can now smell from the other side of the flat when one of my cats has used the toilet.

I bought this litter on Saturday just to give it a try, and I have to say, while it does stop the grains from being scattered all over the house, the rest is really not good. It doesn’t absorb the smell when the cat has done its business, and the clumping isn’t great either. So I’ll be going back to the litter with the baby powder scent, because at least that one absorbs the smell and the clumping is much better. But this one is a disaster, and I’ll be glad to get rid of it.

I bought this litter because it’s so highly praised, but I’m very disappointed. The odour control lasts a maximum of 2 days, and what really bothers me is the immense amount of dust that forms so quickly! When I think about my cats breathing that in every time they use the toilet... No, I didn’t even finish the bag I bought. The litter is just plain disappointing to me! (The concept of sustainability had really impressed me!!!) I’ve now switched to a litter with very small pebbles and I’m very satisfied.

The litter is super easy to handle, much lighter compared to bentonite litter and economical in use. However, after a while, cats tend to ignore this litter and simply stop accepting it!

I bought this cat litter because I can dispose of it via the toilet, which I find very convenient. Unfortunately, it doesn’t absorb odours well, and after each of my cats’ business (I dispose of the clumps several times a day), the whole flat smells. Additionally, it’s quite dusty, and the litter sticks to the kittens’ paws. As soon as the pack is empty, I’ll definitely switch to a different cat litter.

Simply brilliant, The best cat litter of all time! I buy it again and again.

I think it's perfect, you can't smell anything at all. It's highly recommended. It does NOT stick to the paws and is easy to clean!!!

Finally, after years of trying and searching for the right cat litter, we've found the best one. We have one open and one hooded litter box for our two cats. The litter is ultra-light (the litter box is no longer several kilograms heavy, making it easy to move aside for cleaning) and the wood pellets swell up—enormous absorbency. The cat urine seeps in, the bottom stays dry, and the clump can be easily removed. Finally, no more urine film between the tray and the lid. Urine used to somehow collect there and then leak out at the edge between the litter box and the hood. That’s now gone. The only thing is that the cats don’t bury their droppings, but you can simply remove them straight away, so no further odour develops. I removed the clumps daily, topped up the litter once a week, and only replaced it completely once a month. NO urine smell during the entire time! No one can smell that we have cats anymore. A litter depth of about 10cm worked perfectly. There’s absolutely no dust, and if small wood crumbs end up outside the box, they’re easy to sweep up—much nicer than crunchy litter on the tiles. It smells pleasantly of fresh sawdust, even during use. A 20L bag lasted three months per cat for us!!!! Super economical. During this time, there was truly no urine smell. Now it’s empty, and we used the previous clumping litter again, but the freshly cleaned litter box already noticeably stinks of wet clumping litter and urine after just one day, with a cement-like smell. So, we’re immediately ordering Cat’s Best Öko again :-). As long as the quality doesn’t deteriorate, this is the only litter we’ll use!

We were quickly disappointed by the recommended "feeding bowl" litter and found the perfect alternative with this one. The advantages outweigh any potential disadvantages that every other litter has anyway. Some of the reviews here, though, really make you shake your head. Don't forget: it's still JUST cat litter! Sure, it probably gets scattered around the house, but so do all the others. However, your toilet user is to blame for that! Our tomcat, for example, always leaps out of the litter box in one go and is inevitably accompanied by a wave of cat litter. If you're unhappy with the clumping, then give the litter 5 minutes to solidify before you start scooping it out. It's also particularly helpful to clean the litter box with your eyes open and carefully, not like a lunatic, gently probing with the scoop to find a clump and then carefully removing it from underneath with the scoop. That way, nothing falls apart anymore! If you're smashing the clumps with the scoop, that's your own fault—no other litter will hold up to that either!

I have a 6-month-old tomcat who pees like a champion. For the past 4 months, I’ve been trying out all sorts of cat litter, from non-clumping to clumping, from clay to eco-friendly, hoping to find the ultimate litter. Based on the mostly very positive reviews from many cat owners, I decided to give this highly praised eco-litter a try, and I’m disappointed. While it initially smells pleasantly woody and lasts about 4 to 5 days before starting to stink, it doesn’t clump well at all. Instead, it forms mushy piles that fall apart when you try to scoop them out of the litter box, leaving small chunks scattered throughout the remaining litter, which are difficult, if not impossible, to fully remove. Additionally, my little tomcat is a "sit-pee-er," meaning when he sits in the litter to pee, the litter becomes wet and mushy, sticking to his bottom and fur quite badly. Even when I try to clean him with a damp cloth, it only works moderately well. On top of that, remnants of the old litter that can’t be completely removed stick to the bottom of the litter box so firmly that you can only scrub them off with hot water, washing-up liquid, and a brush. To make matters worse, the dust that forms and settles on the edges of the litter box becomes greasy when you clean the box with water, which you notice when drying it afterwards. You often have to wipe it down repeatedly with toilet paper to get the box properly clean and dry again. Unfortunately, this eco-litter hasn’t convinced me at all. And other clumping litters I’ve tried so far, hoping to reduce waste, have also fallen short of my expectations – either they didn’t clump properly, or the clumps became so rock-hard that you could only scrape them off the bottom of the litter box with great effort, even needing water to help. Moreover, the baby powder scent included in many litters is almost more unpleasant than the smell of cat urine. So, for my part, I’ll be switching back to regular litter and accepting more waste and higher costs rather than continuing to be disappointed by clumping or eco-friendly litters.

Was put off by the price at first, but caved in as was getting fed up with the previous litter I used always being over the floor or not absorbing well enough in the trays. I have 3 cats who are kept indoors temporarily whilst we cat safe the fence from the road. I am very impressed with just how well this litter clumps, absorbing much much more urine into a small space than other litters do. Having 3 indoor cats, for me this means I don't have to rush about quite as much all day scooping the 4 trays I have in case they go outside the tray. My tabby is also very very fussy about where he goes, usually the carpet or on the puppy training pads! but even he has now started using the tray again now it has this in it, so very pleased about that! It clumps very solidly so doesn't spill all over the floor when you scoop and condenses waste into much smaller piles, leaving more space in the tray for the cats to carry on using until you get round to scooping out. The down size is the expense and it IS very expensive in my opinion, but as a temporary measure until my cats can go outside again, it's something I've decided to put up with so have ordered some more.

The litter clumps very well and absorbs moisture effectively. Unfortunately, our two Persians spread the pellets all over the flat. Cat's Best is very suitable for short-haired cats!

This litter is the best I have ever used for my cat/s!! I highly recommend it. In order, my opinion on why it is so great: 1) You can throw the poos and wees down the toilet! Really. This for me, living in a flat, is fantastic! 2) It clumps easily with wees and so these are easy to pick up with litter shovel. No residue. 3) Once the unwanted bits are removed and flushed away, it is odourless. 4) Stir the remainder up and it lasts forever! Only one little negative....it does track a bit, but get a litter box mat or rug from zooplus and..... problem solved!

I have got 2 huge ragamuffin and the both love it . 20 kg litter can last nearly 1.5 months. Brilliant litter simple the best.

Apart from the fact that the litter is dustier than others, it impresses with its efficiency, its enormous absorbency, and its almost complete elimination of urine odour. This price-performance ratio is unbeatable by any other litter!

At first, I was totally thrilled (except for the dust). My Coonie accepted it straight away (I think it's soft and really lightweight compared to the previous litter). However, my tomcat has already had to "lose quite a bit of fur" because the litter gets stuck in his long hair, and when he cleans himself, it's disgusting, like greasy soap. Most of the time, I can only cut out the clumps (since he doesn't like being brushed) :-( Now I'm going to try the other type in pellet form... Curious to see how it goes!

I have to say that this litter is very dusty. Especially with the large 40-litre bags. It’s not as bad with the smaller bags. With my two cats, a 40-litre bag lasts me about 6-8 weeks. There is definitely "dust-sand development".

I have 4 indoor cats and will never use anything else ever again - neither will my cats! I accidentally took some crystals along to a show, and eventually had to use someone else's Cats Best, because my Oriental kitten wouldn't go to the bathroom on anything else! It DOES track, but bearing in mind all the positives, I am quite happy to clean up once a day!

I have to say, it's starting to get too dusty for me now. We've been using it for 2 years, and at first, I was really impressed, but now??? Sometimes it doesn't even clump as well anymore. When my "big one" has a wee, a small puddle sometimes forms on the litter. No, I'm going to switch to a different litter.
