Best Cat Litter! A*****
Casper loves it! We love it!

Has the formula changed?
I've used this product for many years and loved it - I have converted all of my cat owning friends to it as well. However the current bag isn't clumping and doesn't hide the smell. I hope the manufacturers will relent and return to the original - I can see that other owners are saying the same thing and are switching to other brands. I'll try another bag, but may have to do the same.

definitely not the best
works fine but only buy if you dont mind hovering your house every day or more often. This cat litter ends up everywhere in the house.

Best litter we’ve ever used!
We used to use wood pellet litter from pets at home, but it would turn to sawdust after getting wet. We would be changing the litter 2-3 times a week. This Cats Best Original plant fibre based litter is so much better! It clumps when wet for easy clean up. It can be recycled with garden waste as it’s biodegradable. Best thing is that it doesn’t need a complete change for 4-6 weeks!! Obviously depends on usage, but this is a godsend. Only problem I find is it tracks out the litter tray a bit.

What’s changed?
I purchased the biggest bag and it was excellent! I’d been using catsan full set up with the liners but wanted to cut costs. This was perfect and clumped really well, like giant balls! Purchased another smaller bag and it hardly clumps. Just goes all soggy.
Agree with others, what have they done??
Used this for my two indoor rescues for years, but recently it does not clump wee into balls, it mixes in with dry/clean litter ans stays damp so it doesnt scoop? why oh why have they changed it, it used to be by far the best, masked smells and clumped so well, looking for a new litter now

Not as good
I used to rave about this cat litter. In the cat litter world it was amazing. Unfortunately have really noticed a difference in the last two big orders (Since Christmas). The cat wee odour is still absent but in terms of reducing other odours, it's just not as good as it once was. The cost of using this litter really was offset by the odour reduction but I may start looking elsewhere.

"New Design same Quality" what do they mean??
Unfortunately the formula for this product has dramatically changed "New Design" they say same quality, I think not more like old fashioned fullers earth not like the original OKO PLUS before it changed to Cat's best, now cheaper ingredients same high price
disappointed not as per the original item

Not bad..
I switched from CatSan to this and it was a lot better - I’m actually purchasing my 2nd bag now. However, I must have a very smelly cat (British Blue) as I don’t find anything masks the smell 🙄
|
50/50
Doesn’t clamp very well and does not absorb as much liquid as others I used. However, I have to give it a solid 10 out of 10 for masking any smells. No matter how much wee is in there it just smells of woodchip!

Disappointed
I have been using Worlds Best for my two cats for the past few years, but I had a trial pack of Cats Best, which I finally got round to trying recently. It hides smells slightly better than Worlds Best, but it the bits which get kicked out of the litter tray get trodden in and spread around by the cats far too easily, so I'll stick with Worlds Best despite the higher price.

Excellent product
Very easy to use and keep tray clean

Cats best clumping litter 40L
Love this clumping litter as I have 8 Ragdoll cats with curry feet.
I find bits of litter upstairs or in my bedroom floor.
That's what Hoover's are for my bags all furr and litter.
Trial use
Product sort of clumps some can remove some urine. Needs changing every 6 days. It keeps smells at bay is kind of like wood shavings which unfortunately track around the home. Not the one for me or my kitten.
Litter clumps disintegrate!
Unfortunately the latest bag I purchased doesn't clump very well and the clumps disintegrate and mix into the fresh unused litter making it very difficult to scoop out. Previously it clumped into balls which stayed clumped together and easy to scoop. My kitten won't use this batch of litter unless I've cleaned out the disintergrated clump/clumps so I'm having to use 2 litter trays just in case kitty won't use it. It's a shame as I thought this was a great litter. Maybe this is just a one off?

So far so good!
Just recently switched to Cat's Best after years of using Tigerino.
I have only been using it for the past couple of months but so far so good.
No smell, it does absorb absolutely fine, no dust and my cats got used to it pretty quickly.The only minor defect is the tracking....
|
Not like it used to be
Used this litter for years, but last sack was powdery and didn't clump great. My foster cat tracks half the tray all over, not as good as it was. I'm going to have to buy again but also trying Tigerino nuggies.
Excellent Litter, Using less than my old brand of Litter 👍🏻
Can’t fault it, best Litter I have brought 🐱🐱👌🏻
What on earth have they done to this product?
This used to be a brilliant cat litter, now it's rubbish. Used to clump, now it just disintegrates into crumbs that are impossible to scoop out and tracks everywhere, even out of an enclosed tray. Used to mask smells really well, now does not. I can only think the reason for this change of formula is the usual one of a company shooting themselves in the foot in the relentless pursuit of cost cutting with cheap ingredients - and losing sales. They've certainly lost MY custom.

Amazing
This at litter is by far the best I have used for my cats tray!! Having read several bed reviews, I was really surprised as this stuff really works so well. Especially for my cat who is now 16 and drinking more water and urinating more often, it really does conceal any kinds of odour especially blitzes the strong cat urine smell completely!!! I clean out any clumps daily and it’s also flushable litter, it clumps well and you can see where the clumps are for easy use of disposal.

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.
