However, recent changes in the formula have led to complaints about increased dustiness, poor clumping, and tracking issues.

Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)
It's a great product however when you buy the large pack it's mostly dust and not much litter. Very disappointing as I still use the product but now have to buy the smaller pack.
Overall a good litter
Having tried all sorts of clumping litter, I will probably stick with this one. My Scottish fold doesn't like clay and preferred to poop outside the box - I didn't like the clay dust. This litter clumps well, absorbs odour well and is so lightweight. The only negative to this litter is the tracking - I have to vacuum daily.

Best litter ever!
I love this litter. I have two cats and finally with this litter cant smell any odours. Clumping very good. Also 40l of this last for three months with two cats and two litter boxes at home. Very good price £24.99 for 40l .
My go to litter
Love it, its also flushable which is convenient.

Tracks but contains odours
It is true that this litter tracks, it is a bit of a nightmare to be honest but it does contain the smells very well. If the cat covers the poo, I won't even smell it. In regards to pee, it is also true that it breaks down in smaller pieces so it is not super clumping in that regard. Also, it is a bit dusty. It is gentle on my cat's paws. Overall, I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I will be trying different ones.

OKish, but won't buy again
This is a decent product. If decent enough is acceptable, then look no further, as it is very cheap. Having two ragdolls and 1 huge litter enclosure - this product didn't meet the expectations. Cats were originally on wooden pellets and I recently moved away from that - hated the cleaning of the sieve tray. This litter clumps ok, tracks as any other (best to invest in a small handheld vacuum IMO). The clumps however did fall apart and I rarely managed to remove it all.

Pretty Good
This is my first time owning an indoor cat and so I don't have anything to compare my litter experience with. But I think this was a pretty good buy. It's easy to scoop and the tray is easy to clean. I haven't noticed any odour beyond the litters actual woody smell. However it gets EVERYWHERE. I found some in my bed this morning and the litter tray lives downstairs. Towards the bottom of the bag it is quite dusty and my cat sometimes comes out with it on his head. But it still does its job well

Would keep using if cats were less diggy.
It's not for us because my kittens are over-meticulous in covering their wee, so they just decimate the clumps (which form well when not interfered with by the way), spreading them throughout the clean litter. It's impossible to remove them all so I can't leave it unchanged anywhere near the time cited by the manufacturer making it way too expensive. Otherwise - really lightweight, no wee smells even with the bits. Does track though..
Best litter ever
Best litter ever from plenty of other that I already trying. Very good absorbing and don't smell at all, lasting for long period of time

Great litter
I find this litter great to use and it a neutral smelling litter which is good for my kitten. It controls the smells well and it easy to scoop out urine or poop. I think as long as you clean your litter box regularly it’s fine! There is a little litter that comes out after my kitten has used her box but it’s not as bad as iv read from other reviews a litter mat helps collect any litter bits. I’m happy to continue buying this product.

Overall good but too messay
It is overall a good product e.g. minimum odor, can be flushed down to the toilet, long-lasting. However, the biggest issue is that it spread all over the entire house for some reason. My guess is the material is so light it sticks on the bottom of your shoes so you literally spread it everywhere in the house, especially when you have a dark carpeted area. I have been using it for a year but now considering going back to Catsan smart just for a while.

Product is no longer as good as it was
I've been using this litter for years but have watched it go downhill in quality for the last couple of years. It used to clump but now all it makes is a horrible slimy mess and no longer seems to cover the smells as it used to. Have now found an alternative corn based litter which clumps properly and smells much better. Cheaper too! I used to swear by Cat's Best but now I can't wait for my last big bag to run out.

Excellent
In my experience this is an amazing product. Can be thrown in the toilet. And without smell .My cat adores it.
|
Brilliant
This is the best cat litter I’ve used, my cat had 8 kittens so was emptying the litter box 3_4 times a day,, THIS litter I can get 2 days out off, I just take the poo and the litter just soaks up the wee.. definitely recommend this to any cat/kitten owner.

Appalling
I must be the only person to be unhappy with this
I bought 2 bags last week and have already had to use them both up. I’ve had to changed the litter daily due to the smell. Literally absorbs nothing and the poo is just a sticky mess that sticks to the cats paws.
I am so disappointed I wasted my money
Vile
Very good
Very good litter. I’m using from 1 year. One problem my cat spreads around the house. But no odour, no dust and good climbing
Usually very good product
I have used it for some time now and was really happy. Lasted for a long time and with one cat had to be change once a week. Recently brought the large 40l pack and was disappointed with the quality. The large pack consists of a lot of dust instead of the nice tight drops found in the smaller packs.
Great product!
It makes my life so much easier than it was before when I was using the non clamping litter. Less smell, straight into the toilet and flush. That is what everyone wants.

Best litter ever
I have two cats both 8 years old.Their urine smells stronger now and with any clay/biodegr litter i had so far that says they do odour control, I still had a very strong smell.My cat has also been diagnosed with mild asthma and the litter I've always had is just to dusty. But then this litter came along! Recommended by my vet for my cats asthma as this litter has no dust. And odour. Well it still smells of wood even when used. It cost more but keeps longer so levels it self out on cost

Good, but takes some getting use to...
At first, I was a bit doubtful that this litter was meeting my expectation in regards to clumping. Odour control is very, very good & the urine DOES NOT sit on the bottom of the litter tray. My cat has no problem using it and yes there is a tiny bit of 'tracking', but no worse than other litters I have used. It takes some getting used to the large 'balls' of urine, which does not clump solid. I guess this is what other reviewers are unhappy about, but it is formed enough to be lifted out.

It absorbs pee really well and forms a nice clump.
It also does a great job with odours.
Excellent product.

No dust at all
I love this litter, and so do my pets. There's hardly any dust, but I've noticed that when I buy the same amount split into two bags, it's sandier and creates more dust.

Everything's fine
After reading the reviews, I went with another brand, but I came back and it turned out the reviews were lying. It clumps nicely, the cats like it, there are no problems with it, it doesn’t create dust, and it doesn’t hurt their paws.

Lower quality
I've been using this litter for 4 years, and it was the best quality-wise. I never even tried to compare the price because it suited my needs perfectly.
But the last two bags just aren't the same, it doesn't clump anymore, the litter just spreads everywhere. I'll give it another month, but unfortunately I'll have to give it up.
I have 5 cats -> 3 litter boxes, and cleaning has become more tiring and less efficient.

I'm disappointed with the cat litter
Hello, I've been using this cat litter for over 14 years. Since my last order, I'm really disappointed. The clumps are soaked all the way to the bottom. The clumps are way bigger than I've ever seen before. Obviously, a lot more litter is needed now. Has the product been changed or is it a production error with this batch?

Terrible
I've been using it for a long time, but lately it's just getting worse and worse. It creates a lot of dust, and the litter itself falls apart. I won't be buying it again. I'm really disappointed—I'm having the same issue with the food, it crumbles apart. I'm thinking of buying elsewhere. The quality leaves a lot to be desired.

Terrible!
What a terrible cat litter! It's incredibly dusty! My cat comes out of the litter box short of breath and coughing. The whole house is covered in a white haze. Whenever I scoop the box, a cloud of dust hangs in the air. I've tried many types of litter, but this one is by far the worst.

Worsened quality
The granules have changed to being big and sharp, so now my cats don’t like using the litter box filled with this litter anymore. Even when you step on it yourself, it’s really uncomfortable, so imagine how it feels for a cat’s paws. It’s a pity, because it used to be great.

Has gotten very bad
I've been using this litter for almost 10 years, but the last 3 batches have been a disaster. It smells terrible. I even contacted Cats Best to ask why, but they just said they hadn't changed anything. It's a shame they don't take this seriously.

Totally gone downhill
I've been using this cat litter since 2020, basically since I got my cats. It was recommended to me and I was absolutely thrilled with it. But for several weeks or even months now, I've noticed that it doesn't clump well at all, and the worst part for me is that it starts to smell bad really quickly!! I never had this problem with the litter before. It's such a shame because it's really hard to find a new, good litter.

Very practical, my cats like it
It's really practical for cleaning, since you can put the clumped pee straight into the toilet. After a few minutes, the pee dries and forms a ball, making it easy to remove. My two cats use it without any issues.

Change in composition?
I've been using this cat litter for over a year now for my three Maine Coons and I was always super happy with it. The new bag I ordered now is useless. All the clumps from the pee fall apart straight away when I scoop and end up scattered all over the litter box. Really annoying. I'd like to know if the formula has changed or if it's still the same and I just got unlucky with my 40-litre bag.

Disappointment
Years ago, this was good litter, but the problem is it isn’t anymore. The quality has dropped a lot, it doesn’t even clump or anything now. You’ve lost a customer who used to buy this litter for years, but I just can’t put up with it anymore. Not giving it another chance, it’s terrible, honestly don’t buy it. Anything is better than this.
