I used to buy Worlds Best and it was breaking my budget. This is a cheaper alternative, the cats love it as well and odour wise it's better than World's best and it's half price. I'm not going back!

After it was named the test winner by Ökotest, I wanted to try it out since I prefer using renewable resources and the product was also rated very well here. To stay objective: I have 4 cats and set up 2 litter boxes in the basement. The dust development is very low, the clumping behaviour is good, but by the 3rd day, you could smell the litter box throughout the entire staircase. Eco-friendly or not, unfortunately, my sensitive nose just can't handle that! This might belong in a rabbit hutch, but definitely not in a cat litter box.

Brilliant litter, I was using so much before, and I love how it makes a kind of gel ball, very easy to use and great with the hygenic combination of this and the litter champ bin, it's transformed the arduous task of litter cleaning - no smells or mess! The litter trails a little more as the particles are small, but it's a small price to pay!

I ended up using Cats Best Öko Plus because of my kidney-diseased cat. Now I have two cats, and I continue to use it because both of them, including the little one, have taken to it really well. And let's be honest, there's no litter that stays 100% in the litter box—there will always be a few crumbs ending up on the floor. It's nice and lightweight, and the solid waste can be easily disposed of via the toilet. I dispose of the liquid waste in the organic waste bin. However, you do need a scoop for the coarser litter. We're satisfied and see no reason to switch.

After reading so many good reviews about this litter and hearing my colleague rave about it, I decided to get a bag and give it a try. As soon as I opened it, I was hit by a disgusting musty, woody smell. When pouring it out, fine dust went straight into my throat and nose, making it hard for me to breathe. Even my four cats avoided this litter box/litter completely. Today, I ended up putting it back into the bag, and on the bottom of the litter box, there was a fine cream-brown sand/dust. AND it is definitely not dust-free or low-dust as claimed. I had to clean yellowish dust off the bathroom surfaces. No!! I’ll stick to my usual litter, thank you very much.

I've tried a few litters and prefer clumping ones because I find them easier to clean and more economical. My situation is that I have one short-hair cat who has a covered tray with a tracking mat placed at the entrance which is placed so that he must step on the mat and cannot jump over it. I tried this brand because I wanted something natural and World's Best litter was causing major dust problems in my place and now I'm sold on Cat's Best. The grains are slightly larger than World's Best which means on my short-hair they don't cause as much tracking and dust. I do empty my tracking mat into his tray everyday, but I don't have to hoover around his tray except during my usual weekly hoover. I have no problems with odour, but he does have a covered tray so I don't know how it would be with an open tray. The clumping action is really good, but it is quite easy to spear through the clumps with your scoop if you aren't careful. I find that my litter lasts a very long time as well which for me makes it quite economical even considering that it is quite pricey per bag. I'd check out other reviews if you have a long-hair cat (my sister-in-law swears by pine pellet litter for her long-hair) or an open tray. Otherwise, I think this is an amazing litter!

I've been using this litter for 3 weeks now and can't wait for the massive bag to finally be empty! My cats don't like the litter at all, but we'll just have to get through it until it's gone! The litter is ridiculously dusty, it ends up all over the flat constantly—no, we're sticking with our old litter and regret switching brands.

I can only agree with the positive comments here – in my opinion, this cat litter is the best and truly worth the money! It’s super efficient/long-lasting and doesn’t smell! I have to admit that the litter does get spread around the flat a bit because it’s so lightweight, but I’d take that 10 times over the stench that comes from some clumping litters!!!

I have mixed feelings about this cat litter. On the one hand, it has good odour control, can be disposed of via the toilet, is lightweight, lasts a long time, and is affordable. But the downsides are that it creates dust like crazy. You end up with it spread all over the flat, and when you wipe the dust off, it becomes slimy and hard to remove. If the cats dig too deep, the residue left on the bottom after removing the clumps becomes rock-hard (when "scraping" it off, the scoop can break). When the cats urinate and the stream softens the litter, causing it to swell slightly upwards, slimy residue can stick to the cats' "private area," which they clean reluctantly or, in the worst case, not at all, and then sit down somewhere. I took a little break from CBÖ and tried other brands (even very expensive ones), but I wasn’t satisfied with those at all.

After all the positive reviews, we just had to give this litter a try. It may well be true that it’s very economical and odour-binding, BUT: THE LIGHTWEIGHT LITTER GETS STUCK IN THE FUR AND ENDS UP BEING SPREAD ALL OVER THE FLAT! I definitely won’t be buying it again!

Since changing to Cat's Best my Dylan has never been happier to use his litter tray, unfortunately since taking him on as a rescue siamese someone kindly dumped a cat with feline aids near to us and Dylan now has Feline Aids but we keep him in, he also has a very large pen so he has his litter trays every where, we never get a smell even when we have forgotten to clean one for a few days! (sorry Dylan) It is so easy to clean out and great that I can put it in my compost bin. I would recommend it to anyone with a cat they have to have indoors.

I have never, ever left a comment on the internet before, as I always thought everyone else was already writing enough. But in this case, I want to make an exception. For 25 years, I’ve been buying various cat litters, some good, some less so. This litter from Cat’s Best is the best litter I’ve ever had for my two cats. It doesn’t smell, clumps so wonderfully that it’s super easy to remove, is gentle on the cats’ paws, and is incredibly long-lasting. I will never switch again. Thank you so much, Cat’s Best!

I was recommended this cat litter by my Birman breeder and I think it’s fantastic. My three Birmans love digging in it and are completely happy with it. Disposal is quick and it clumps really well. The few crumbs that occasionally end up in front of the litter box are very easy to clean up. So, the four of us are absolutely satisfied with this litter and will continue to use it :)

I bought this litter based on the good reviews and the recommendation of my colleague! Shortly after I started using the litter, I developed severe asthma, which I usually only experience in summer during pollen season. At first, I didn’t connect it to the litter... but then, when I saw the clouds of dust rising while cleaning the litter box and noticed the fine dust settling all over my clothes, it dawned on me... I then started cleaning the litter box only while wearing a mask, but unfortunately, that didn’t help either. I strongly advise all asthmatics or people (and cats) with lung problems to avoid this litter!! It’s like flour — since I work in the medical field, I know patients with so-called dust lungs who have spent their lives working in professions like baking! The only positive thing I can say about this litter is that you can dispose of it in the toilet... unfortunately, its clumping ability isn’t very good! For health reasons, I had to switch to a different litter! Therefore, only 2 stars from me!

Never another cat litter. I’m so glad I discovered this litter for our Tommy – it doesn’t smell, is super easy to clean, and lasts for a long time. I haven’t seen anything better so far!!! Many thanks for the great product!

We have two cats. The Cat's Best Plus cat litter is brilliant. I’ve recommended this cat litter to others.

I've tried countless types of litter, but the best one is Cat's Best. My Naomi gets along with it really well. So what if there are a few crumbs on the bathroom mat? Who cares, at least there's no more nasty smell in the flat. I recommend it to all my friends.

The litter actually smells very good. The wood scent is very pleasant. However, it creates an insane amount of dust! I immediately had a coughing fit. And since my husband unfortunately has a dust allergy, it’s completely out of the question for us now. What’s definitely a plus is the weight! It’s much lighter. We didn’t dare dispose of it in the toilet. We have 5 cats, and they make quite a mess. :-) That’s just too risky for us! The smell is fine for small business, but for big business, it can’t eliminate the odour at all. We’ll be switching back to Golden Grey Master!

I've had a lot of bad litter before, but I think Cats Best Öko is the worst. First of all, it smells really strange compared to others, and it sticks to the floor like glue. I wouldn't dispose of it in the toilet either, because it doesn't dissolve quickly enough, so one flush isn't enough. The only advantage is that it's lightweight. My cats outright rejected the stuff and made a point of doing their business in front of the litter box instead.

The litter is biodegradable, can be disposed of in the toilet, and isn’t toxic for the cat, unlike bentonite litter. It’s super efficient. The huge downside, however, is that the stuff is very lightweight and ends up everywhere in the flat. On the floor, in the carpet, on the sofa, and I even keep finding it in the bed, despite having short-haired cats.
