Best cat litter
Had a cat that drank a lot and, accordingly, peed a lot. Absorbs really well and is easy to remove. Therefore, very economical. For me, the best litter.

The best I've used so far
Best clumping litter I've found. Makes it easy to scoop out - and flushing down the toilet is much easier than bagging and binning. In the summer this will avoid the dustbin being a no-go area due to smell.
Can't understand the comments about clumps being too soft to take out. A standard scoop picks them up and the unused litter falls through the holes.

Very satisfied!
We were recommended this litter by a colleague at work, and I have to say, he was absolutely right. Our two indoor cats took to it straight away. Sure, they scatter a few wood crumbs outside the litter box when they leave, but that’s what cordless vacuum cleaners are for ;-) The initial filling plus one top-up lasts us about 5-6 weeks. We’re completely satisfied.

The cat now prefers the carpet.
Our cat doesn’t accept the litter at all, and her business has already ended up on the carpet and the bath mat.

Dust everywhere, dust everywhere.
We've been testing Cat's Best Öko Plus for 3 months now, and we're not entirely happy with it. Our two tomcats have taken to it very well! Other positives include its good clumping ability, the ecological aspect, and the lighter litter bag. On the downside, the fine wood dust starts spreading everywhere after about 14 days, despite using a mat in front of the litter box! Every 4 weeks, we have to completely empty, clean, and refill the box. Is that still so eco-friendly? Our little tomcat is naturally a vigorous digger, which unfortunately means he comes out of the litter box completely covered in wood dust. Sometimes I have to properly "dust him off" and clean him. On top of that, he tends to sit quite low... in 90% of cases, he's wet, and I have to step in and dry him to make sure the urine doesn't end up on the sofa, cushions, and so on.

Beach effect and odour development
Based on all the good reviews here, I decided to try this litter as well. Unfortunately, I have to say that it absolutely doesn't meet my expectations. My two cats did take to it well, but they spread the litter everywhere. It's never been this bad with any other litter. And it smells once they've used the litter box. It only smells like wood right after the initial filling. I didn't even finish the 20-litre bag and switched back to the litter I originally used. The improvement in terms of odour is significant, especially when the two are home alone during the day and the litter box can only be cleaned in the evening. One advantage I see is the weight of the bag. But that's about it. I'll save the rest of the litter for winter, when the first snow comes, to use it for gritting the pavement. At least then it won't be a complete waste.

Surprisingly good
I tried this cat litter for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by how efficient and odour-neutral it is. My cats love it, and it lasts twice as long as the expensive pellets. It's also much easier to dispose of since it only clumps what it's supposed to and not half the litter. I can wholeheartedly recommend this litter with complete confidence.

disgusting
We used the cat litter for the first time yesterday, and today it has to go. It smells absolutely awful. You really can't put up with it. I should actually return it.

Great litter, but gets dusty after weeks
My two domestic shorthairs have been using Cat's Best Öko Plus since their second month of life and have never had any issues with it.
The litter clumps nicely, making it easy to clean. For two frequently urinating cats and two litter boxes, a 40-litre bag lasts us at least two months. The best way to clean the litter box is with the CatIt litter scoop, as it allows you to sift out the clumps quickly and easily.
The litter smells neutral with a slight woody scent and absorbs odours relatively well.
The only issue is the dust development after about 4–6 weeks due to sifting. The best solution is to replace all the remaining litter with completely new litter every 6–8 weeks. This resolves the dust problem for the time being, allows you to clean the litter box thoroughly, and gives the kitties a fresh, clean box again.
Second issue: The litter naturally sticks to their paws, so you absolutely need a broom or vacuum cleaner near the litter box. So far, all litter mats have failed: while they do catch some of the litter crumbs, some still end up being carried beyond the mat onto the carpet. With a dozen trips to the litter box per day, this means cleaning is needed every 1–2 days for the humans. However, I don’t think this would be any different with other types of litter.

Excellent!!!
My very fussy kitty loves it!!! Keeps fresher for longer and easier to clean out than fullers earth litter. Unlike normal wood based litter the pieces are small like clay litter, not the usual large pellets you find with most wood based litters (which my kitty hates!!!) Also can be flushed down the loo, which is great as a live in a flat!!! :) x

Reduced smells, good value, efficient delivery
Zooplus seems to have the best price for this litter that I have seen. I was delighted at the quick delivery. I ordered late one night and it arrived two mornings later at 7.30 am!What I really like about this litter is that it has a soft texture and once you have removed the bits, the remaining litter smells perfectly fresh. It smells a bit like semolina. It is now almost three weeks in a three cat household and I have not yet emptied the basic litter, although I keep topping it up. However it does not totally cover the immediate smell, and I am still being woken in the mornings by a certain fragrance wafting through the house....I very much like the concept that it can be flushed down the toilet,or put into the garden compost recycling bin. I suggest putingt only very small quantities down the toilet at a time. One evening I thought I had flushed it (maybe I hadn't) and in the morning there was this expanded sticky looking sludge at the bottom of the pan, under the water. I panicked a bit, and it took three flushes to get rid of it. As has often been said, the litter does track.
The cats like using the litter and now rarely use the alternative litter tray which has coarse wood chip litter .

Finally found the right litter :-)
We have 8 indoor cats and have been searching for the right litter for years! Finally, we’ve found it, and I don’t want any other now—it has so many advantages:
1) Very economical
2) It smells completely neutral and neutralises cat urine and faeces
3) It’s super lightweight, even the 40-litre bag is easy for me to carry
4) The price-performance ratio is simply excellent
5) The cats like it!!!
Of course, like with all other litters, it gets carried out of the litter box on their paws. The advantage here is that you can see the crumbs—this fine stuff ends up in the house just the same, you just don’t notice it. Since we vacuum every day anyway, it’s not an issue. Plus, there are those great litter mats that significantly reduce the problem!

Absolutely the best experience
After briefly using a different litter, I’m regretfully returning to this one. It smells acceptable, produces little dust, and – most importantly – the clumps can be easily disposed of via the toilet, compost heap, or organic waste bin. Highly recommended!

I have to sweep anyway.
I used to have that cheap bentonite litter before. Compared to that, Cats Best doesn’t smell at all—it smells like a meadow, and that’s amazing! It’s super lightweight, and the big bag lasts 4 weeks with two cats that pee a lot. With the cheap stuff, I had to buy a bag every week for 5 euros, and those were ridiculously heavy... This one really has its advantages, and the cats love it. At first, I only put it in one litter box, and they didn’t want to use the old one anymore. Sure, there are crumbs around the litter box, but that’s always been the case. I got pets, so things aren’t going to be completely crumb-free, right?

Cat's Best Öko Plus Cat Litter
Tried many!
But this litter is exceptionally good,
doesn’t smell at all (practically odourless—or better said, it has a wood scent),
which is why I keep ordering it again and again!!!
Many thanks, A. Gloor (arzensek)

Very good for me as an allergy sufferer
I hadn’t had a cat for years and initially used regular litter when I got one recently. For me, as someone with allergies to fragrances and dyes, it was absolutely awful!
I’ve now switched to this litter and I’m very satisfied. My two little cats love using it. Unlike the previous litter, they even enjoy playing in it (which I’m not too thrilled about because, of course, it ends up flying everywhere). Health-wise, I no longer have any issues and don’t have to worry anymore if my little toddler accidentally puts some litter in their mouth. The smell is very natural, finally not that artificially perfumed stuff that makes it hard for me to breathe!
It clumps really well, doesn’t stink of cat urine or anything else...
I remove the clumps in the morning and evening, and that’s it. Unlike the previous litter, this one doesn’t start smelling bad after just three days, even though I clean it several times a day.
Overall, simply brilliant!

Nothing bothers me at all!
I used to always buy regular discount litter for my big boy and was actually quite satisfied with it. However, the cheap litter had one downside: it formed rather large clumps (about hand-sized after one urination!) and these would break apart when removing them -.- That's why I decided to buy this litter, hoping that this problem wouldn't occur, and I was more than positively surprised: The clumps are much smaller because the litter is far more absorbent, they don't break apart, and the litter smells pleasant. Now the cat litter box smells like a DIY store (so I've been told ^^). Furthermore, thanks to its high absorbency, it's very economical, which saves money. Disposal via regular organic waste is also very convenient, although I don't dare to try flushing it down the toilet.

TOP...
I’m really positively surprised by this litter and will only use it for my cats from now on. I have a Maine Coon, a Ragdoll-Birman mix, and a Norwegian mix, so all big (and greedy ;)) animals. Compared to others, the litter is incredibly efficient, the cat toilet is easy to clean, and my cats are fish fanatics, so I don’t have any smell in the flat anymore. A great value for money!

Super Bedding
The litter is fantastic. The cat litter box doesn’t smell, and the litter lasts a long time. I clean the box daily and do a complete litter change every 1.5 weeks. With the 40-litre bag, you can easily get almost 2 months out of it. I don’t want to try any other litter because I’m so convinced by this one. The only thing that bothers me is that I have to sweep up the leftover litter in front of the cat litter box every day because it gets kicked out when the cat jumps out.

Great cat litter
The cat litter is really great. My cats like to use it and do their business there. Disposing of the litter is fantastic. I can flush it down the toilet. The litter is much lighter, and no odours escape from the litter box.
