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.

Wish I believed the hype sooner..
I have tried three other types and brands of litter before caving into the reviews and trying Cats Best. I used to choose price over quality, but now I understand that when it comes to cat litter, its best to pay a bit more for a quality litter. Its really absorbant which makes tidying up the tray so easy after my cat has showered on it. Plus, a little goes along way. My only problem now is what to do with the 3 big, half used bags of other branded cat litter I have left. After using Cats best I cant bear to go back to those inferior litters now.

Optimal
I've been a cat mum since early 2010, so I've only tried out various types of litter recently. For the past six months, I've been using only this litter! My two cats don't really care which litter I use, but this one is absolutely perfect. It clumps really well, there's no unpleasant smell (except for "big business", but that's manageable – and if it's buried, even that doesn't smell as much). You can actually flush it down the toilet without worrying about it clogging! It also lasts a long time. Sure, you need to vacuum around the litter box every couple of days, but I'd rather vacuum than have to air out the room for ages every time!!! Plus, the price-performance ratio here is truly TOP. The medium-sized bag lasts me at least two months. So it's enough for two standard covered litter boxes. Honestly, highly recommended!

Cat litter is recommended.
This cat litter is very good. Urine is well absorbed into a clump and hardly smells at all. The clumped litter can be disposed of almost intact with careful handling using a litter scoop. I also didn’t notice any excessive dust formation when filling, emptying, or scratching, and our tomcat accepted this litter straight away. A tiny downside, however, is that litter that falls out and comes into contact with puddles of water (e.g. after showering) completely disintegrates and sticks to the floor. I’m also sceptical about the planned disposal via the toilet – it’s better to check its practicality on a case-by-case basis beforehand!

Marie doesn't want it, unfortunately.
A great litter, eco-friendly and very affordable. Unfortunately, my cat doesn’t like it. She started doing her business in the flower pots and on the cushions. We had to switch back, and now everything’s fine—cat’s clean. So, one star deducted, as I would have liked to keep using it.

Let the DHL courier lug it around then ;-)
I thought to myself, if over 1,000 people out of more than 1,500 reviews have given 5 stars, I probably won’t make a big mistake buying this litter. And indeed – as far as I can judge so far – I’m quite impressed too. I no longer have to worry about a major disaster happening when I flush her little piles down the toilet, and her pee doesn’t smell at all anymore. Her bigger deposits, however, still do. Since she doesn’t like enclosed hooded litter boxes, I’ll just keep sprinting over as usual whenever I notice it. The litter hasn’t been dusty for me so far (Catsan was terrible in that regard), and it clumps really well (unlike cheap supermarket clumping litter, which is also much harder). And last but not least, it’s obviously great to have up to 40 litres of litter delivered straight to your door without having to strain your back lugging it yourself.

is the best
I keep trying out different types of litter now and then, but I always end up coming back to this one because it’s simply the better choice. It clumps excellently, and the smell is far less noticeable compared to some clay litters.

No more cat smell
I have 4 cats at home and have tried many different types of cat litter. It always smelled like cat. Until a friend of mine tried this litter and recommended it to me. Since then, I haven’t bought anything else.

Highly recommended!
I’ve tried many different types of cat litter, but none have been as good and long-lasting as this one! You can’t smell the litter box anymore, the litter itself has a pleasant woody scent, and it’s extremely efficient. It clumps very well, and even the smell of the "bigger business" is (at least for us) well contained. With daily cleaning and occasional refilling, the litter box stays fresh for weeks. So, the slightly higher price is definitely worth it. And most importantly: the tomcat likes it and digs around in it enthusiastically! The only downside is the slightly larger clumps, which can sometimes get stuck in his paws. However, with daily vacuuming (which we do anyway), this isn’t really a problem! I won’t be buying any other litter again..............

It’s way too dusty for me!
Pro:
- It's not as heavy as bentonite litter
- Can be disposed of via the toilet
Contra:
- It gets quite dusty after a while
- It's a bit too coarse for sensitive cat paws

Recommended!
This litter might seem expensive at first glance when you buy it, but it’s so efficient that it’s worth it! It can be disposed of in the toilet without any worries, and I’ve already been surprised twice by people pointing out that you can’t smell our cat litter box in the bathroom at all! It’s truly odourless when there’s only urine in it. Unfortunately, when faeces are present, the smell isn’t contained—it stinks a lot, so I clean it immediately with the scoop to get it smelling normal again. The granules often get carried through the bathroom and outside the bathroom. I’ve already placed a rug in front of the litter box and bought an extra-high one, which has improved things, and it’s really just normal that the cat carries some granules out with her! Nevertheless, I bought this once and never went back to another brand because it’s also biodegradable! It convinces me, the cats accept it, and apart from the two minor downsides, I recommend it without hesitation!

Super bedding
We use the bedding for our bunnies. Trixi and Blacky have no trouble using their "rabbit loo". The bedding doesn’t create dust, absorbs well, is extremely efficient, and the "quiet bunny corner" is easy to clean since the clumps can be removed effortlessly.
We can wholeheartedly recommend this product.

Very economical but not perfect
When I tried Cat's Best Öko Plus for the first time, I must have gotten one of the poorer batches: the litter already smelled bad as I was pouring it into the cat litter box. My two cats didn’t like to bury their business, so every time I heard the flap of the litter box, I quickly sprinted over with the scoop to dispose of their mess.
Since my sister also uses this litter, and in an open litter box no less, I decided to give it another go: this time, no smelly litter, the cats happily bury their business, and they no longer flee the litter box in a hurry. The litter doesn’t produce much dust, but it sticks to their paws just like the bentonite litter did before, and ends up scattered around the flat.
The litter is very economical, though, so I’ll probably stick with it. The deduction in points is for the "smelly batch," which I hope was just a one-off!

Everyone thinks it's good.
It produces less dust than other gravel-like litters, my cats have taken to it very well, the scent is quite pleasant, but what I rate the highest is its efficiency. The Öko Plus cat litter is incredibly efficient and economical, and therefore highly recommended, especially if you have more than one pet at home.
