The worst I've had so far!!!
We have four cats! Two of them are already 18 years old. Over the years, we've tried quite a few types of cat litter. But I've never been so dissatisfied with a clumping litter!!!
The clumps break apart even when there's a large amount of litter in the cat tray. It spreads all over the house. The cats don't feel like covering up their mess, it's very difficult to sift out, and the odour control leaves much to be desired. The only advantage is that it doesn't produce dust!

Super!
Clumps well, smells pleasantly of wood, and hardly produces any dust! Since it’s very lightweight, it’s also easy to transport.
Suitable for allergy sufferers too (unlike Extreme Classic). We’re very satisfied. We’re sticking with it!

Is the cat satisfied...
...makes people happy! :-)
I’ve tried quite a few types of litter with my two indoor cats. Clumping litter, silica litter, various eco-friendly litters, etc. Most of them only lasted about four weeks (with regular topping up and complete cleaning in between), smelled bad, and got soggy quickly. Not great. Then I read up on different types of litter in a cat forum, came across CBÖP, and ordered it here straight away.
I have to say, I’m absolutely thrilled with it.
At first, my little cat wasn’t too keen on the litter (the big one doesn’t care ;)), but after two weeks, she got used to it as well. The litter is incredibly economical; I’ve been using the 40-litre bag since the beginning of March and have only completely cleaned the litter box twice in that time. And my furry friends share one box, so there’s quite a bit of traffic.
The absorbency is fantastic, the odour control is excellent, and the “sand effect” (which I don’t find worse than with other litters) is something I’ve managed to avoid by placing the tray from an old litter box with mats inside it right outside the main litter box. So, after doing their business, the cats have to walk through the second box, and most of the litter stays there.
What I also love is the ability to dispose of it via the toilet. You can get rid of the smelly bits straight away if needed, and even the clumps of urine can be flushed down easily (bit by bit, of course, to avoid blockages ;)).
Overall, I think my cats and I have found the perfect litter with CBÖP, and we can definitely recommend it!

For my ferrets...
Unfortunately, this litter is too "prickly"... My jill only reluctantly goes to the toilet, and often she still can't "do her business"... She fidgets back and forth, trying her best not to put her paws down. My hob doesn't even bother going to the toilets with this litter! They find the feeling on their paws unsettling. When I tested it on the back of my hand, I could understand why; it's not exactly pleasant, and if you catch it at the wrong angle, it pricks quite a bit and can even hurt! On the plus side, I have to say it produces relatively little dust! But that doesn't help much when my ferret goes next to the toilet instead! (Previously, with a softer litter, he always used the toilet!)... At the time I ordered it (it did have quite a lot of good feedback), there was only the large 40-litre pack available, which, contrary to my expectations, hasn't gone down well... Such a shame -_-"

Really excellent
This is the best i've tried:
- it's soft on their paws
- controls odours really well
- clumps brilliantly, therefore v economical
- i put the wee clumps directly in my compost heap
- is light, easy to handle and sweep up

Best cat litter
Hello!
I searched for a long time to find such good litter. I have 3 cats who prefer to always use the same litter box (even though they have 4!!). This cat litter is so well received and really lasts a long time. The only downside is that it’s very lightweight, so it often gets scratched out of the litter box. I’ll stick with this cat litter and can only recommend it. It’s perfect for a multi-cat household.

Very satisfied!!!
Super!!!! I only knew Catsan and Thomas from back in the day. I've had a 17-week-old little mouse (Cuddy) for a few days now, and she thinks the litter is fantastic. Cleaning is no problem – super quick to do with the scoop. No smell. Also no "spreading around the room" from her paws... I'm sticking with it!

Excellent
I have been looking for something like this for years.
Yes, it tracks, but not as bad as all my older litters.
It's easy to keep trays clean.
All I do is remove clumps & add more to trays as I need it.
I would recomend this product & site to any cat lover.
I have converted one work mate to this product & they are also amazed at how good this is.
Thanks Zooplus.

Cats Best Öko is brilliant.
The only thing I don't like so much is that it gets very dusty when refilling. I've already tried quite a few types of litter, but this is currently the best and most economical one I know.

Also suitable for heavy tomcats! Great litter!
I’ve tried many types of litter, pretty much all the high-quality ones available at Zooplus. We’re a multi-cat household with a tomcat and occasional kittens, so odour control is a very important topic for us.
The high-quality fine sandy litters with baby powder scent or without (the scent fades after a few days anyway) were all okay, but in my opinion, they didn’t differ significantly.
Additionally, I had major issues with disposal, especially during the time we had kittens – the rubbish bin simply wasn’t big enough anymore. That’s why I switched to Cats Best Öko Plus, as I can dispose of the “cat waste” on the compost heap. This compost heap is now in the garden, and my rubbish problem was solved in one go.
I’m also very impressed with this litter overall. It’s nice and lightweight, doesn’t smear, and is easy to clean. The cats do track it out with their paws, and there’s always a bit of mess around the litter box, but that was no different with the fine sandy litters. It hardly sticks to their paws, which was more of an issue with the fine sandy litters – if a cat stepped into their fresh puddle while digging, they’d end up with a crust on their paw. That doesn’t happen at all with this litter.
The smell is also very pleasant. When freshly spread, it has a slight scent reminiscent of a carpenter’s workshop ;-) and even after several days or weeks, the odour remains well-contained. Even after the first warm days, we didn’t have any issues.
All the cats accept the litter wonderfully, including – which was a bit of a concern for me – our heavy Maine Coon tomcat, who has no problems with it. It doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable on their paws.
The large pack is very economical. I also find that the “cat waste” is less compared to the fine sandy clumping litters; it seems to absorb liquid very well.
I don’t think it’s suitable for kittens, though, as it clumps. For the first few days, when kittens tend to eat the litter, I’ll continue using a non-clumping litter. But as I said, that only applies to the first few days.
We’re sticking with Cats Best Öko Plus. :-)

I'm thrilled!
After experimenting with various types of clumping litter for quite a while, I came across CBÖP a few months ago thanks to my sister. And I’m absolutely thrilled! The litter clumps really well and has a pleasant woody smell, even after our cat has done his business. I always order 40 litres straight away because I think it’s incredibly affordable for the quality. And the best part: you can dispose of it via the toilet or compost!! So, our Brazzo loves it, and I won’t be switching litter anymore. Regarding the dust issue: Well, if you have a pet, you have to expect that it might make a bit of mess. And you clean your home regularly anyway, don’t you?!

All in all, absolutely brilliant
As the "cat litter manager," I find this litter very good. It smells very natural, and after our cat has used it, there's hardly any odour, and our kitty doesn't keep sneezing. With the litter we used before, her vigorous digging in the tray constantly triggered sneezing fits due to the dust.
It's also great that you can dispose of the litter in the toilet.

Simply brilliant!
Until now, we only used bentonite litter and didn’t quite trust the eco-litter. We decided to give it a try and are absolutely satisfied and thrilled. No unpleasant odours, even though the litter stayed in the tray for a long time. Very economical – a 40-litre bag lasts almost 3 months for two cats. It can even be disposed of via the toilet, as it breaks down into a slimy mass. We compost it, which also saves on waste disposal fees. Above all, it’s not as heavy as bentonite litter – great for the postwoman ;-). Minor drawback: it tends to scatter around the toilet, but it’s easy to sweep or vacuum up. So: thumbs up and 5 stars!

It's alright!
I bought this litter because of the many good reviews. Unfortunately, the litter did not meet my expectations. At first, I was quite satisfied. However, after about a week, the litter started to produce an extreme amount of dust. On top of that, I kept noticing a nasty smell whenever I went near the cat litter box. I also don’t find the much-advertised efficiency to be particularly accurate. Conclusion: I’ll stick to my usual litter, the Cassy Cat cat litter. However, anyone who doesn’t have overly high expectations will probably be happy with this litter.

Tried loads, this is my favourite!
I've tried several different cat litters including World's Best, Everclean, Catsan and others. I found Everclean to be very good but rather expensive and a pain to wash the litter tray because the clay seemed to clog up the drains no matter how little of it was left to wash off. Oko Plus is by far my favourite. My two bengals love it, it holds odour well, it lasts for ages and is very reasonably priced compared to other brands. I'd definitely recommend this and will certainly be sticking to it. The fact it's organic and biodegradable is good too as I have peace of mind knowing I'm not polluting the environment with substances that don't break down over time.

Simply Brilliant
Super lovely litter that hardly creates dust and doesn’t stick to the cat litter box. Clumps hold together very well and can easily be disposed of in the toilet. This means there’s no unnecessary odour in the flat. Odour control is excellent. Our furry little friends never want any other litter again.
Best wishes from the kitties!

Cat litter!
Hello!
After trying and testing many options, we believe that Cats Best Öko Clumping Cat Litter is the best.
The two euros it costs more than other litters pay off multiple times due to its efficiency.
Easy to dispose of and super lightweight.

The Best
I switched over without much trial and error. It was accepted straight away. Odour control is excellent, you don't smell anything. The clumps don't fall apart for me either. You just have to make sure to fill in enough. It's extremely economical because you don't have to completely change it as often, and it's all-natural too. The fact that cat litter doesn't stay only in the litter box is probably the case with all types of litter. I don't find it too extreme. Besides, it's more important to choose the best for the little tigers. So, just vacuum a bit more often.

The best litter
I’ve tried out a lot of different bedding, and I have to say this is the best. However, if you’re buying a large bag, it should be priced a bit cheaper. Over £22.49 is quite a lot of money – that used to be 50 marks *SFG*.

Highly recommended!
I can only agree with the others here; I’m also very impressed with Cat's Best Ökostreu. It smells good—naturally, not artificially scented—the flat is no longer covered in litter (like with Extreme Classic, which I used before), there’s no more dust on my bathroom items or my cats, it’s actually fun to clean the litter tray, and above all, it’s much quicker than before! The only thing is that my cats found the switch from fine litter to coarse litter a bit strange at first, but they’ve accepted it and gotten used to it.
