Best there is!
This is so much better than anything I've used before. It doesn't smell and you can even flush it way.

Perfect for furry bums
The litter is coarse enough not to get stuck between the paws.
Dust: Minimal
Smell: Great (not too overpowering)
Clumping: Excellent
Even after a week, there's still no need to change it, and the kittens love using the litter box. The tomcat even plays in the litter and digs around just for fun, like Bob the Builder. We're sticking with it! :)

Complete satisfaction
I have a 12-week-old kitten, and it uses the litter tray with Cats Best litter without any problems. It doesn’t smell and clumps together really well. I previously used a different clumping litter that wasn’t as good. This eco-friendly litter is very economical and odourless.

Failed here too!
The smell is very unpleasant, even by the next day!
As my predecessor already mentioned, absolutely do not dispose of it in the toilet, as it swells up significantly...
Also, my cats really dislike it, and the fact that it spreads everywhere in large quantities throughout the flat is just one aspect!
Very disappointing, I let myself be guided by the good reviews.

Failed!
This litter is absolutely not for me, and our cat was also only moderately to not at all impressed...
It gets 2 stars for the pleasant smell (like wood), which, however, only we found nice, while the cat didn’t seem to care... and for its durability—it’s really economical, and the base filling can last for 6 weeks without starting to smell bad...
Now onto the negative aspects... which, for me, clearly outweigh the positives... The litter is dusty as hell... it’s just not okay. When filling the litter box, you end up with a layer of dust within a 1-metre radius around the box... Plus, the litter spreads just as well throughout the flat—I’d need to vacuum every 2 hours to keep up. Furthermore, it’s not as soft as described; I actually find it rather prickly... I’ve had some unpleasant experiences with it. I walked barefoot through the flat and ended up with a splinter from the litter stuck in the sole of my foot—pretty painful!
I also wouldn’t recommend anyone trying to flush the litter down the toilet... We tried with a very small clump, and the litter swelled up so much that it almost caused a flood. Removing the huge slimy clump from the toilet took 2 hours...
So, I can’t recommend anyone to buy this litter!

Been using it for 2 years
Great litter the clumping is amazing and 1 bag seems to last ages. Easy to scoop out the clumps so no wastage. Some people say it masks the smell of poop but I wouldn't say it does, no urine smells though like I've noticed with some over litters. Its not to messy although it does get in my cats paws and she always shakes them as she come out of the tray. I use a litter mat which pretty much traps these lose bits. Tried other litters but this is still the best for us.

Unfortunately, failed...
Unfortunately, my cats also refuse to use this litter as long as there's an alternative available. In four days, I had exactly ONE clump in the litter box with Cat's Best. Both of the other boxes (one with dm litter, one with Golden Grey) were used much more frequently.
And for me, this litter doesn't offer enough advantages over our usual litter (the one from dm-drogerie) to justify the higher price.
Negatives: Extremely dusty – not just when filling, clumps are relatively large, clumps fall apart more easily, price.
Positives: Lightweight, better odour control (as far as you can tell from using it once – at least the one clump smelled more like wood than pee), eco-friendly, can be disposed of via the toilet (provided the pipes can handle it, as this stuff swells up a lot).
Conclusion: The litter does its job, but for the same price, you can get significantly better quality elsewhere!

My cats refused to use the litter box!
Unfortunately, I can only give this litter a poor rating because both of my cats seemed to find the smell of the litter so off-putting that they no longer wanted to use the litter box. Unfortunately, I had changed the litter in the evening (after the shops had closed), which led to my tomcat standing desperately in front of the litter box the next morning, not knowing where he should go to pee. After changing the litter again, both my cats and I were more than relieved.
My conclusion: For cats that are used to ultra-clumping litter (with or without baby powder scent), a natural litter is only suitable to a limited extent. Perhaps instead of a complete change, one should try gradually adding it first.

Cat's Best Öko Plus Cat Litter ...
...is really great!
I really like that you can dispose of the clumps with the litter in the household toilet.
The price is good.
The litter lasts a long time and doesn’t smell!
I can truly only recommend it!
That’s why 5 stars.

Super - just the litter left
Based on the results from Stiftung Warentest – and the smell from our cats – I bought this litter. I have to say – BRILLIANT. It’s expensive, but absolutely worth it. We’ll only be using this from now on because it’s convinced us 100%.

Very good cat litter, but it creates a lot of mess too.
The litter is very good and doesn’t smell. The cat litter box is easy to clean, and the clumps don’t fall apart like with some other types of litter. However, the litter crumbs get spread all over the flat, so it’s hard to keep up with sweeping. Additionally, the litter is quite dusty. Still, I keep buying this litter because the advantages definitely outweigh the drawbacks, and the value for money is truly excellent. With 5 cats, the 40-litre bag lasts about 1 month.

Like dust...
The litter is very good when it comes to odour control. The fact that you can dispose of it in the toilet is also a great solution. However, what I’ve noticed particularly recently, and very negatively, is that it’s very dusty, and I always have to use a scoop to remove the "sand" from the litter box when cleaning. My cats often end up sneezing during their daily business!

So far, the best.
For our three cats, we've tried quite a few things, but Cat's Best Öko Plus is hands down the best. It clumps well, absorbs odours effectively, is long-lasting, and thanks to its low weight, it's easy to transport.
For me, it's a five-star plus!

There's nothing better!
Öko Plus litter is the best litter I’ve tried so far. All clumping litters started to smell after a relatively short time. I have a very large litter box for two cats and used to have to completely replace the litter every day. Now, once a week is enough! Simply remove the used litter daily and, if necessary, top it up a bit. Done! It saves waste, water, and time. Although Öko Plus is more expensive to buy, it’s actually cheaper in the long run... The cats accepted it without any issues. The wood scent is pleasant, and it doesn’t create much dust either. The only downside is that the cats carry the litter everywhere. It sticks easily to their paws, and there’s no spot in the flat where you won’t find wood particles... But as far as I know, there’s nothing better out there. That’s why I’ll stay loyal to Cats Best.

Well...
This highly praised cat litter is unfortunately no better than others... The odour control is not very impressive, the clumps (if there are any) crumble very easily, and it sticks to the floor as well as to the paws... The only positive point is the fact that it’s natural. It’s okay, but for the price, it’s rather disappointing!

Smells great!
For our two little rascals, this is probably the best thing out there. I filled both litter boxes with it, and they immediately came over, scratched around in it, and did their business straight away :-)
The clumps are really solid and stick together well, making them super easy to flush down the toilet. And 40 litres last a long time!

Not suitable for long hair
It might be fine for short-haired pets, but I have a Persian cat, and it sticks to the fur really well. I had to vacuum the flat several times a day... Unfortunately, there was no mention of this in the product description. I ordered a large bag straight away, and after two weeks, I was so fed up that the rest went to the animal shelter.
Never again...

Cat's Best is the best!
By far the best cat litter for us.
Doesn't smell quickly, clumps well, clumps don't fall apart, and it's super easy to dispose of.
Our chunky boy took to it straight away. And the few crumbs that fall off his paws when he leaves the tray don't bother us at all!

Cats Best Öko Plus
I read the many reviews about this cat litter and finally decided to give it a try. I’m the proud owner of three cats and had serious concerns, as my sweethearts only prefer litter with baby powder scent. Curiosity got the better of me, and to my astonishment, the cat I least expected actually used the litter tray with Cat’s Best. The others just walk over it briefly or grab a pawful to nibble on. But I’m not giving up. The litter smells nice, and the texture is great – I’ve only found a few crumbs of litter outside the toilet. Unfortunately, I still need to convince the other two, but I think the litter is fantastic.

I'm converted!
I have three indoor rescue cats, two long haired, one short haired. They are all really fussy and I'd struggled to find a litter that all three would use without accidents next to the tray. Then I tried Oko Plus and it's fantastic! It's not as dusty as other litters I've tried, I like that it's ok to compost and being flushable has meant friends are happier when cat sitting for me. It is slightly more expensive than my old litter but it lasts longer so works out to around the same price. The cats have taken to it really well and since I started using it there have been no accidents outside the tray. There is no amonia/urine smell and when my cats bury their poop, no smell from that either (although I have one who have never mastered that trick so the whole house knows when she's been in the tray!) I haven't noticed it getting caught in their fur any more than other litters but the big drawback is the amount it tracks. Even with a litter mat I do get a far amount on the carpet outside the bathroom door but to be honest, the two minutes it takes to run the hoover round is a small price to pay for all the advantages.
