Unfortunately, too much dust.
Personally, I think the cat litter is actually quite good. I find the woody smell quite pleasant, it's nice and lightweight, absorbs well, and disposing of the clumps in the toilet is great.
Unfortunately, my cat wasn't impressed at all. After using the toilet twice and sneezing while scratching (we have a hooded litter box), she stopped scratching altogether, and after a week or two, she'd had enough and started doing her business in front of the litter box, which she had never done before. If it weren't for the heavy dust from day one, it would have been perfect, but unfortunately, I had to throw it all away.

Best litter, when used correctly
I’ve been using this litter for a good year now.
With regular DAILY removal of clumps and droppings, neither the described odour nor the crumbling of clumps occurs here!
However, I only have one tomcat, so I don’t have a multi-cat household.
Disposing of the clumps, etc., can even be done in the toilet with explicit approval from the waterworks, so there’s no need to take them to the rubbish bin.
Furthermore, I can leave the base litter in the cat litter box for a whole month without any issues, provided the above points are followed!
Occasionally topping it up... a 40L bag really lasts up to half a year!!!
No, combined with high-quality cat food, there’s no bad smell here!
I think very few people stick to these “rules,” which is why there are negative reviews.
Conclusion: A cost-effective, eco-friendly natural product that far exceeded my expectations...
P.S. Tomcat nods... and digs enthusiastically ;-)

Very good stuff
I wish I knew about this cat litter earlier!
It's great. No smell and my kitten likes it very much. I'll never buy that other smelly stuff again.

For what it does, it's too expensive.
I let myself be "tempted" by the reviews here and ordered the litter. It really disappointed me: poor handling, too much waste, strange smell. I've gone back to Catsan Ultra Plus – unfortunately, it's not available here :(.

Cat's Best Öko Plus is good, but it doesn't quite live up to its promises.
I tried Cat's Best Öko Plus because I could no longer stand the rapid odour development of my old cat litter.
At first, I was very impressed with the new litter, and my cats accepted it without any issues.
A big plus is the fresh, natural wood scent. Simply amazing, and it lasts a good 3-4 days with my two little stinkers (for comparison – my old cat litter smelled very strong after the first use).
Unfortunately, Cat's Best Öko Plus comes with quite a bit of work. It produces a lot of dust and doesn’t clump as well as it should. The large clumps crumble apart during cleaning.
Additionally, when the cats dig around, the small clumps get further distributed throughout the litter, making cleaning much more difficult.
After the 3-4 days of odour control, the litter seems to lose its effectiveness, and I have to clean it three times a day again to prevent odour build-up.
On top of that, the litter unfortunately gets tracked all over the flat.
Nevertheless, I’ll probably buy this litter again because my cats are thrilled with the natural scent and love digging and scratching in it just for fun.
Also, I think it offers good value for money despite the downsides.

Immediately accepted
When our two Birmans moved in, we immediately went for Cat's Best based on great recommendations from friends. We're absolutely thrilled too, especially with the ability to dispose of it via the household toilet – it saves both waste and time. Honestly, 6 stars... :)

Years of experience with Cat's Best cat litter
Back then, I was looking for a cat litter that was absorbent and quickly neutralised odours, and I decided on Cat’s Best. My cats at the time were just as thrilled with it as my current cats are. Four cats can’t be wrong. Once, I had to buy a cheap mineral-based cat litter because mine was sold out, and my cats weren’t happy about it. They didn’t cover up their "business" and instead scratched at the tiles in front of the litter box. The very next day, I visited a pet shop for the first time. I immediately replaced the cat litter, and everything was back to normal.

SUPER!!!
This litter is just brilliant... it smells very natural and you can easily dispose of it via the toilet. Simply TOP.

Great litter, pleasant scent
If it weren’t for one of my three girls refusing to accept this fantastic litter, I’d only ever use this one. It’s dust-free, has a lovely fresh pinewood scent, and is extremely economical. Because of these simply amazing qualities, I’d recommend it anytime—unless, of course, you have a little diva of a kitty like I do. ;-)

Simply brilliant
I can only recommend it. It smells absolutely natural (like fresh wood) when you stick your nose in yourself. My tomcats accept it completely.
I’ve given up disposing of it via the toilet, though. Instead, I collect what I clean out daily in a bucket on the balcony, which I then occasionally take to the compost.
A "general cleaning" of the litter box every 4 weeks is really sufficient.

Sucks well, but kicks up a lot of dust.
A friend recommended this litter to me.
Positive: good absorbency, a complete clean every 4 weeks is sufficient.
Negative: very dusty, becomes sticky when wiping away, and one of my two cats doesn’t accept this litter at all, so I still have to fill our second litter box with a different clumping litter.

Too good reviews
After reading all the good reviews here, I decided to order a bag as well.
Unfortunately, I have to say that I’m not too impressed with this litter.
I find it quite annoying that the litter gets spread all over the flat. With four cats, that’s quite a lot.
The smell was pleasant for the first two days, but after that, it became rather overpowering. I just can’t stand it anymore.
The clumping ability is good, but no better than Biokat’s Classic. So, I’ll finish this bag and then go back to the "tried and tested." Such a shame!!!

World's best cat litter
Finally, a cat litter that doesn't stink. Even after multiple uses, it still smells like wood. Very economical.

Very good
When I bought my 2 Birmans they were using this litter so I carried on with it. It is great as it hides smells, clumps well, is flushable and lasts ages!
It would have 5 stars if the dust was reduced, my cats sneezed every time they came out of the litter box and I noticed it when I remove clumps daily. I swapped to the nature gold version of this litter as that has zero dust!

Cat's Best Öko Plus Cat Litter
I’ve tried loads of different types of cat litter before – from cheap to expensive – and I have to say, this litter is absolutely worth the money!
At first, I was sceptical about whether it would really work as advertised and whether my cats would accept it. When it finally arrived, I was able to fill three litter boxes properly with the medium-sized bag (my cats love to dig ;)). I was pleasantly surprised by the texture and how little dust there was when pouring it in!
A few hours later, I cleaned the litter boxes for the first time and was completely amazed:
It clumps really well without sticking to the bottom or crumbling, and even if something does stick to the bottom, it can be removed effortlessly without leaving any litter residue behind. Despite there being quite a bit of “mess” in the boxes, there was still plenty of litter left at the end, and it flushed down the toilet without any issues! In terms of smell, it’s not exactly a bed of roses, but it’s not unpleasant either! My cats accepted the litter straight away and seem to really enjoy it – the light, grainy texture makes digging even more fun for them ;)
To sum up, I can only give this eco-litter a very positive review because, for me, it’s simply the best cat litter I’ve tried so far! Especially the easy disposal in the toilet and the price are huge plus points that are just unbeatable! Cleaning the litter boxes has never been this much fun for me :)

There's nothing better!
After spending the last 11 (!!) years searching for the perfect litter, I’ve finally found it!!! Simply brilliant! Very economical and does an excellent job of controlling odours!

Unfortunately, not the lucky find I was hoping for!
After reading all the positive reviews, I decided to go for Cat's Best as well. The clumping is really good, even though the clumps are quite massive. :) Since I have a covered litter box, the smell from the "big business" is bearable. My cat also diligently buries everything. For the first few days, I was very satisfied. The smell of the litter did remind me of my first guinea pig, but that's not a bad thing.
But, and here comes the but: After a few days, the litter starts to break down and produces a lot of dust, causing my kitty to have proper sneezing fits during her toilet visits. Additionally, over time, this litter also starts to take on the smell of urine.
Cat's Best advertises on their website that the initial filling can stay in the litter box for 4-6 weeks. Apart from the fact that the filling didn’t last that long for me, I would advise against it even with regular cleaning. I clean the box twice a day, but after 1.5 weeks, I was hit with a sharp urine smell when opening the lid. Not pleasant.
As I said, the clumping is good, and from an ecological standpoint, the litter is highly recommendable, but due to the aforementioned points, it only gets 3 stars.

Unfortunately, not so great.
From an ecological perspective, I think the litter is quite good, but I wouldn’t recommend using the base filling of 4-6. The litter absorbs a strong urine smell. On top of that, it’s extremely dusty. The dust that settles in the bathroom becomes like glue when cleaned with a damp cloth—sticky and hard to remove.

THE BEST CAT LITTER EVER
I USE THIS LITTER FOR MY THREE INDOOR CATS AND IT IS THEIR FAVORITE AS WELL AS MINE. SIMPLY THE BEST!

2-star review turns out poorly!
Actually, I was really positively surprised by the litter. It smells pleasant, clumps perfectly, and can be used sparingly. But if only it weren’t for the extreme dust formation after about two weeks and the fact that my tomcat spreads the litter all over the house. I’ll be switching back to a different litter.
