Customers appreciate this cat litter for its effective clumping and odour control, making it a long-time favorite for many. However, recent changes in formula have led to dissatisfaction, with complaints about reduced clumping, increased dust, and tracking issues. Despite these negatives, some users still find it economical and environmentally friendly, praising its lightweight nature and absorbency. Overall, while it has its drawbacks, the litter remains a popular choice for its original benefits.

Surprise
At first, I didn’t think that wood shavings would mask the smell and keep it fresh for so long. But quite the opposite. There’s absolutely no odour after the tigers have been to the loo. We have two toilets with this and two with a different litter. One large bag lasts us several months. A cheap alternative to the overpriced chemical products. And definitely worth every penny 👍

Recipe has worsened
Unfortunately, the formula has worsened! The litter has become darker, significantly coarser, and no longer absorbs nearly as well as it used to. When cleaning, it crumbles into small clumps and starts to smell after just a few days. I’ll be looking for a better product as soon as possible! Such a shame!

It used to be good, now it's just a hassle.
The litter used to be great. It clumped well, hardly any dust. For some time now, it’s been dusty, doesn’t clump properly anymore, and leaves a huge mess all over the flat because the house cats spread the dust and litter remnants everywhere. On top of that, the consumption is much higher, which is due to the poor clumping ability nowadays. I’m looking around and hoping to find an alternative.

The colour is darker, it doesn’t clump anymore, what’s going on?

I love it, haven’t bought anything else for a year.
My favourite cat litter! I've tried so many eco-friendly ones, but I absolutely love this one. Super absorbent, clumps quickly.

Formula changed
I wish I had read the reviews before ordering. I could already tell from the colour that it’s not Cat’s Best Öko Plus, which I’ve been using for years. It’s greyer. It clumps worse. It doesn’t bind urine odours as well anymore. I won’t be buying it again.

Cat's Best Cat Litter
I've been using this litter for many years, but the quality has gotten worse. It no longer clumps, falls apart, and starts to smell after just one day.
Due to my breeding, I go through about 20 bags of 40 litres a month. I'm really sorry, but the price has become too high and the quality has declined, so I've switched to a different litter.

Long lasting, best clumping, worth every penny
I have a blind cat that has also has breathing difficulties, and does not need any dust; this is lightweight, dust free and lasts for a long time. Over 30 years, I have used many types, but now would not use another; this suits the other 3 cats as well and provides light not heavy odour control.

Definitely worth trying
Purchased this going by reviews, so happy I did as this is so much better than the wood pellets I had been using. No smell, No dust, and smaller pellets making it easier for the cats to use. Yes it is slightly more expensive, however, you actually use less so it lasts the same amount of time, if not longer than other brands.

Cats Best 40 L
I can't confirm the negative experiences from the past few weeks. It clumps wonderfully and lasts much longer than some other clumping litters. Both cats seem to like it too. The small and large messes can be sorted out easily, and if you regularly top it up, the whole litter tray lasts a very long time. Before, I had to do a complete clean every week because it would seep all the way to the bottom. CatsBest litter absorbs much better.

Suddenly not clumping anymore?
Just bought a big bag, but it doesn’t clump anymore?!
Has the formula been changed?
Really frustrating... the clump breaks apart into small chunks. Others are writing about this too. I’ve always been sooo happy with it until now!

Changed
I had the same experience as described by Britta. The texture is coarser, the colour darker, and the scent doesn’t hold as well as before – such a shame! I was really impressed with it and have been using it since February.

Been buying this for ages.
What I noticed recently... It's darker... It doesn't bind like it used to, and it smells like cat pee, which wasn't the case before.

Clumps brilliantly, blocks odours really well, and my kittens are happy with it.

Good alternative
My cats like this litter. It binds odours well and is less dusty than conventional clumping litter. The only downside is that the cats carry quite a bit of it around the flat on their paws, so I’m deducting one star. Otherwise, I can recommend it.

Has the composition changed at all?
Bought new cat litter last month. I've always been satisfied until now. However, this litter is much coarser than usual and darker in colour too. It no longer absorbs urine as well. The urine runs all the way to the bottom of the litter tray, and when I try to dispose of the waste, it doesn't clump but crumbles into lots of tiny pieces.

The best
This is so far the best litter I've used. Yes it leaves mess around the tray, but not more than other litters. It does not smell and it is very easy to clean the tray.

Litter on the feet is annoying
After noticing from one pack to the next how the quality keeps declining, and now with this pack, I constantly have litter sticking to my feet, this will be the last pack of Cat's Best for me. The litter also sticks to the cats' fur, and I'm not sure how healthy that is if they end up swallowing it. Aside from that, I completely agree with all the previous critics. It no longer clumps (after the litter box has been used three or four times) and smells bad.

Super cat litter
We've been using Cats Best for years and have had very good experiences with it. It clumps brilliantly, doesn't smell, and is easy to handle.
Sometimes small particles stick to the paws, but we've placed a mat in front of the litter box for that. Works really well.

Has the formula changed?
The best litter so far, but the last bag doesn't clump properly anymore – very disappointing and annoying.
