Cat's Best Original cat litter has received mixed reviews. Many customers appreciate its excellent clumping ability and odour control, making it a favourite for years. However, recent changes in the formula have led to complaints about increased dustiness, poor clumping, and tracking issues.

Ideal litter, can't fault it.
I love that this is biodegradable and much easier to deal with for our 2 cats. We sift out the dirty litter about twice daily, and simply flush or bin it. The rest stays clean and doesn't require changing for 2 or so weeks. I've found the best results if you leave the liquid to clump and dry out for a little while, rather than trying to remove it immediately. It tracks a little, but you can always put the litter tray in a shallow box so that it is contained.
not clumping anymore
used to be a great product however the last purchase was such a disappointment as it was not clumping at all! Other than that it absorbs the odour quite well and you can flush it down the toilet.

My best wrong order
I was going to get another litter but somehow this arrived at my door.. ....confusion turned to utter delight. My cats simply love this......lasts longer than the crystals.

Tracks everywhere
I have used this litter for a few months now. I loved it at first as it was the first clumping cat litter I used. No dust or smell and clumps easily. Lasts ages too but the tracking omg is the worst. With 2 ragdolls with long hair it gets stuck to their fur and ends up EVERYWHERE. Now on the lookout for a new clumping cat litter.
Dusty
This was an amazing litter, but since the new design the dust has become so bad it makes me cough when I clean out the tray. This cannot he safe for the cats. Really disappointing.

I used this for years but...
They changed the formula a few months ago and it's just not the same. It won't clump as easily and there are sometimes puddles. It also gets tracked a lot more easily. Not happy.

Disappointing
Having read a rave review for this product I was sorely disappointed with it. It is light which for clumping litter is unusual but as a result does not clump effectively and my cat who likes to cover up distributed lots of it outside the tray despite having a cover. It does deodorise well but in many respects it is no better than much cheaper supermarket brands.

Clumping litter
I have used the Clumping litter for 4 years with my Ragdoll Cats.
Litter does need Hoovered from stairs and floors daily. I have also noticed more dusty and not clumping as quick.
40Litre £23.99 Could do with better prices as Zooplus doesn't have any saving s on.

Great Litter !!
This is the best litter I have found. The urine goes into a jelly like clump which is so easy to remove.
|
Easy and clean
Very good product, it takes a little while to clump which is only a problem because my cats all decide they want to go at the same time, but if left a little while utter does clump well, and stays clean smelling. The light colour means you can easily see what needs removing.

Best buy for me
With a sufficiently deep tray and a 99p litter scoop the need for a liner or a total litter change has been eliminated. Add in the phenomenal odour control and this product is, without any doubt, the most efficient and economical cat litter I have used.
Formula change a disaster
Please, please, please bring back the old formula! Whatever you've done just doesn't work! I fetched an old bag of litter from my parents (whose cats now toilet outside) and it may as well be a completely different product! The new stuff just doesn't clump at all and tracks everywhere. It's so dusty all the cats sneeze when they come out the tray.

New but NOT improved
I have used this litter when I catsit for my daughters cats . I ordered a bag of ‘new and improved ‘ but as I had half a bag of the old formula I could easily compare the difference when I changed from one to the other . The new litter is dustier , it doesn’t clump anywhere near as well as the old litter and it is much stinkier. It is also brought out of the litter tray on the cats paws a lot more , I have always recommended this litter to other people but I can no longer say it is the best.

They changed it!!
I've used this litter for years and even converted other cat parents over to it, it was great at holding smell and clumped well. I have breathing difficulties and there was no dust so it was perfect and I was willing to pay the price. And then they changed it. Now it is incredibly dusty, it tracks EVERYWHERE and doesn't hold the smells at all. The clumping isn't brilliant anymore, the pee just turns into a weird jelly mush unless you leave longer than you should. Now in search of a better brand!
Good odour control but terrible tracking
Tried this as an alternative to Worlds Best litter, but stopped using it after 2 weeks. I think it controls the smell slightly better, but it tracks really badly. Litter all over the house, maybe 7 metres away, so you have to clean several times a day and it doesn't feel very hygienic
very poor quality
it smells bad, not clumping at all even if, it is still very soft and easy to spread all over a cat litter.

It used to be good! Time to look elsewhere!
This used to clump neatly and stop smells brilliantly.
Since buying a new lot I noticed it was falling apart instead of staying clumped and stinking the room out constantly. I then looked on the bag to find a note "new design same quality"...I do not agree. Change it back please. For now I need to find a new supplier. No different to most other brands now so not worth paying more. Don't bother.

Worst litter I have ever used in forty years of having cats.
Does not clump effectively and cat scatters it all over the floor.
Would not recommend product.
There is no better on the market
Great product. I understand cats can have their preferences as well as the owner. After trying many different brands that one is the top one.

Excellent product
It absorbs pee really well and forms a nice clump.
It also does a great job with odours.
Excellent product.

No dust at all
I love this litter, and so do my pets. There's hardly any dust, but I've noticed that when I buy the same amount split into two bags, it's sandier and creates more dust.

Everything's fine
After reading the reviews, I went with another brand, but I came back and it turned out the reviews were lying. It clumps nicely, the cats like it, there are no problems with it, it doesn’t create dust, and it doesn’t hurt their paws.

Lower quality
I've been using this litter for 4 years, and it was the best quality-wise. I never even tried to compare the price because it suited my needs perfectly.
But the last two bags just aren't the same, it doesn't clump anymore, the litter just spreads everywhere. I'll give it another month, but unfortunately I'll have to give it up.
I have 5 cats -> 3 litter boxes, and cleaning has become more tiring and less efficient.

I'm disappointed with the cat litter
Hello, I've been using this cat litter for over 14 years. Since my last order, I'm really disappointed. The clumps are soaked all the way to the bottom. The clumps are way bigger than I've ever seen before. Obviously, a lot more litter is needed now. Has the product been changed or is it a production error with this batch?

Terrible
I've been using it for a long time, but lately it's just getting worse and worse. It creates a lot of dust, and the litter itself falls apart. I won't be buying it again. I'm really disappointed—I'm having the same issue with the food, it crumbles apart. I'm thinking of buying elsewhere. The quality leaves a lot to be desired.

Terrible!
What a terrible cat litter! It's incredibly dusty! My cat comes out of the litter box short of breath and coughing. The whole house is covered in a white haze. Whenever I scoop the box, a cloud of dust hangs in the air. I've tried many types of litter, but this one is by far the worst.

Worsened quality
The granules have changed to being big and sharp, so now my cats don’t like using the litter box filled with this litter anymore. Even when you step on it yourself, it’s really uncomfortable, so imagine how it feels for a cat’s paws. It’s a pity, because it used to be great.

Has gotten very bad
I've been using this litter for almost 10 years, but the last 3 batches have been a disaster. It smells terrible. I even contacted Cats Best to ask why, but they just said they hadn't changed anything. It's a shame they don't take this seriously.

Totally gone downhill
I've been using this cat litter since 2020, basically since I got my cats. It was recommended to me and I was absolutely thrilled with it. But for several weeks or even months now, I've noticed that it doesn't clump well at all, and the worst part for me is that it starts to smell bad really quickly!! I never had this problem with the litter before. It's such a shame because it's really hard to find a new, good litter.

Very practical, my cats like it
It's really practical for cleaning, since you can put the clumped pee straight into the toilet. After a few minutes, the pee dries and forms a ball, making it easy to remove. My two cats use it without any issues.

Change in composition?
I've been using this cat litter for over a year now for my three Maine Coons and I was always super happy with it. The new bag I ordered now is useless. All the clumps from the pee fall apart straight away when I scoop and end up scattered all over the litter box. Really annoying. I'd like to know if the formula has changed or if it's still the same and I just got unlucky with my 40-litre bag.

Disappointment
Years ago, this was good litter, but the problem is it isn’t anymore. The quality has dropped a lot, it doesn’t even clump or anything now. You’ve lost a customer who used to buy this litter for years, but I just can’t put up with it anymore. Not giving it another chance, it’s terrible, honestly don’t buy it. Anything is better than this.
