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.

We are very happy with this litter! It clumps brilliantly and is very low odour. Plus, it's obviously very convenient that the clumps can be disposed of in the toilet.

Clumps well! Hardly any smell! Very economical! Super great that you can dispose of it in the toilet! It dissolves almost completely in water! This means there's no odour in the flat! Especially in Switzerland, with the high disposal costs, it's a fantastic alternative!

When I first got Bagel I was using cheap cat litters which didn't clump very well at all, I even accidently bought a non-clumping one once and that was beyond horrific! This cat litter is fantastic! I was dubious of the price at first but due to the little round balls of clumped wee barely any litter is used and it lasts for ages! Holds smell well, and doesn't seem to track anymore than some of the other litters I have used (:

My two "boys" carry the crumbs around, I grab my sweeper and the job's done. The advantages outweigh everything, straight into the loo – "All done!" Economical, clumps well, doesn't smell. Almost top-notch litter.

For over 10 years, I have been buying your product, and my cats were always satisfied. In mid-May, I purchased 12L. This time, however, the litter was extremely poor in use. It didn’t clump, fell apart, and ended up scattered all over the flat. I have 5 litter boxes, and you can surely imagine how long I had to vacuum. I have 4 long-haired cats. Even your Gold series is all over the flat. What happened? Why has the quality deteriorated so much? The litter isn’t exactly cheap either. Best regards, F. Raecke

I have 7 indoor cats and have tried quite a few types of cat litter, but none were as good as Cat's Best!!! I remove the waste daily and top up the litter as needed; a complete refill is only necessary every 3 weeks for us. I’m definitely sticking with this litter because, for me, no other litter compares to it.

Whilst being a slightly pricey option, it is worth every penny and lasts more than twice as long as other biodegradable products such as wood pellets. The product is fantastic for odour control and my kitties seem to prefer this to anything I have used before. One of my cats has a tendency to urinate outside of his litter trays if they are not completely clean but, since using this product for 6 months, he has not done this once! The only down side is that, as it is so lightweight, it does track on the cats paws out of the tray very easily but it is alleviated if you use a mat.

This stuff is amazing and trust me when I say this, it will last a long time. It clumps into like a gel substance and holds adore amazingly well too. I love the stuff. This is my time of using it and will continue to use it.

My problem before: Two cats make A LOT of mess... So much mess that I was worried my general waste bin wouldn’t be enough – but paying for a bigger one just because of the cats? Even worse, the waste in the general bin smelled absolutely awful. On top of that, I didn’t want to run to the general waste bin for every little pile, so I had a separate cat poo bin outside the front door. (Which, in summer, would surely have attracted hordes of flies :-) I also didn’t want to flush the stuff with the non-environmentally friendly litter down the toilet... What also annoyed me was that everything that usually ends up scattered around the litter box couldn’t be swept up with a broom because the fine clumping litter sticks incredibly well to the tile joints... and I didn’t want to have to get the vacuum cleaner out every time either. Thanks to a dear colleague at work, who has three tomcats, I discovered the plant-based alternative – and I’m thrilled! The litter box is in my hallway, near the bathroom door – which has the added advantage of the toilet being close by. Now I dispose of the “small” business in the general waste and the “big” business down the toilet – no more unpleasant odours (and the amount in the general waste has significantly decreased :-) The plant-based litter clumps well, absorbs odours effectively – simply brilliant. When the entire litter box needs cleaning, I can dispose of it in the organic waste bin (or, for those who can, in a forest). Completely replacing the litter is very rarely necessary, at least from a smell perspective, it doesn’t seem urgent :-) The crumbs around the litter box are now larger, but sweeping them up is much easier. And another thing: sifting through during the “treasure hunt” has also become significantly easier! All in all, I’m just TOTALLY satisfied! Oh yes: my cats took to the litter immediately :-) They obviously knew they were doing me a favour too.... :-)

It clumps very well, but as soon as the urine clump comes into contact with the bottom of the litter tray, it sticks a lot. I've already broken a scoop because the clump is almost impossible to remove from the bottom.

PRO: The cat litter clumps well and is very economical. My tomcat accepted the litter very quickly, and I can't say anything bad about the smell. CONTRA: Despite using a mat, the litter gets spread throughout the entire flat. It sticks to the fur of my long-haired cat, and it's honestly a real nuisance! The litter creates quite a bit of dust when cleaning and refilling! CONCLUSION: Certainly suitable for a short-haired cat, but not recommended for long-haired cats.

Unlike other cat litter, this one is pleasantly lightweight. Unfortunately, the litter is very dusty and sticks to the paws and fur. Our two elderly ladies (15 and 17 years old) find the cat litter absolutely dreadful. We've already tried mixing in some of the other litter, but the two still prefer to use one of the three other litter boxes with the "normal" litter. Such a shame. Looks like we'll have to keep lugging those 20-kilo bags around. What wouldn't you do for your old girls :-))

In terms of quality, it's definitely the best litter we've ever had. Unfortunately, it seems to be static, gets caught in the fur, and ends up all over the flat... really, really annoying! Such a shame!

The clumping is excellent, making it extremely economical to use. It has a pleasant woody scent, doesn’t produce dust, reliably neutralises odours, and most importantly: all nine of my cats accept it without any issues.

I buy this litter because you can flush it down the toilet and it doesn’t create dust. It clumps together really well, but I always buy an odour neutraliser to go with it because then you don’t notice the smell as much. Absolutely brilliant!

The absolute best litter I’ve ever had. Clumps instantly, stays completely odour-free for about 2 months (base filling). My tomcat loves it, and so do I. Great value for money.

I personally found the litter good because it doesn’t create much dust, but my tomcat was sceptical from the start. After a long hesitation, he used it once and then never again. Had to switch back to Golden Grey, and now his world is back to normal...

I’ve always been a loyal CBÖP user, but every now and then I switch to bentonite to try something different. Now I’m back to using it again because the beach effect with the fine bentonite versions was driving me absolutely mad. With CBÖP, this is much more manageable, especially if you have mats placed in front of the litter trays. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that the quality has really gone downhill. The clumping power used to be significantly better, and it now turns into sawdust much faster – which used to be my signal that a complete replacement was needed. I’m sticking with it though, because otherwise it’s simply unbeatable: disposing of the big business in the toilet, the pee clumps in the organic waste bin, and it genuinely doesn’t smell like urine, unlike so many bentonite varieties. Sure, you need to dispose of the droppings quickly – the odour builds up much more intensely there. But my cats usually only go when I’m around anyway, so that’s not an issue. The manufacturer really needs to do something about the lack of clumping power!

This is definitely not a repurchase for me. When pouring it, it creates a terrible amount of dust, and the clumping is poor; when it does clump, everything falls apart as soon as you touch it with the scoop. An excessive amount of residue sticks to the edges and bottom of the litter tray. On top of that, it starts to smell extremely quickly. The only reason I’m not giving just one star is because I want to acknowledge the environmental aspect.
