The BEST, honestly!!
...still incredibly satisfied! Even though the litter gets spread around the flat a bit – that's normal, all litter does that. The only solution is to sweep it up :-) . But about your issue with your cat not wanting to step on a "wet clump"... My recommendation: ditch those silly hoods on the litter box!! NO cat in the wild goes into a cave to do its business!! Give them the option to access the litter box from multiple sides with a rim attachment. Then you can leave them alone for a few hours, and they'll do the digging until everything is buried again. Plus, they won't have to endure the stench of a pee-soaked litter box if the hood is still on – it just makes it worse!! Give it a try – I'm sure it'll work. :-) *

Cleaning multiple times a day is a must.
I was guided by the many positive reviews and am very satisfied. The litter clumps brilliantly, doesn’t stick to the bottom of the toilet like the last litter I tried, and smells very pleasant.
The only downside for us is that I have to remove the toilet hood when the cat is home alone for a longer period.
As long as the toilet is cleaned several times a day, everything is fine. However, if I leave the hood on the toilet and, for example, go to work, the shower gets misused as a toilet because our cat absolutely refuses to step on one of the urine clumps when she goes through the flap and the toilet has already been used before. Since our cat is an outdoor cat and the toilet is very easy to clean, I can live with that.
I can’t confirm that the litter gets excessively spread around the flat, even though we have a long-haired cat. Sure, a few crumbs might fall out, but even with an open toilet, it’s limited to the area around the toilet. When cleaning, some bits inevitably fall out anyway, but you just sweep them up and it’s done.
All in all, a fantastic litter – definitely worth trying!

Really suuuuuper!!!!
I've been using this clumping litter for years now and I'm very happy with it. The other customer is probably right that it does tend to spread around the house quite a bit, but that's what vacuum cleaners are for. I often try out new ones, but I always end up coming back to this one in the end.

Tried many things and finally found the best!
I was guided by the many positive reviews—thank goodness!!!!!
I don’t know how many I’ve tried, from cheap to expensive, from clumping litter to Smartpack. Everything started to stink after a short time and didn’t look good. Öko Plus smells like a timber yard (very clean and pleasant) and looks good in the litter tray (like small wood shavings). Super easy to clean!! No smell after use, and as soon as I opened the bag, our cat was there—it was immediately accepted, and she loves it!! (indoor cat). A small downside is that a lot sticks to her paws—so keep the vacuum cleaner handy.

Not bad
I don’t understand the 1-star reviewers for this litter. It hardly smells at all, even after being in the litter box for a while. The only thing that drives you a bit mad ;-) is how lightweight the litter is. Because of that, it spreads wonderfully throughout the flat. Also, not all of my cats like it, and if they do, it’s only for “number one.”
But it clumps brilliantly, is very light, and easy to dispose of.
So, it’s definitely worth giving it a try.

Couldn't care less.
I've tried almost all the common cat litters, but this one is absolutely the best.

NEVER AGAIN
After so many positive reviews, I thought I'd give it a try.
Nope, by the second day it smelled unbearable, even though I clean twice a day.
I threw everything straight in the bin.
I say never again to this product. Eco or not, it's not for me.

Ideal for multi-cat households too
After a long time and trying countless different types of litter, we’ve finally found a truly good cat litter: Cat's Best Öko Plus!
We have 8 Maine Coons at home who use the toilet quite a lot – with most types of litter, we had to completely replace it after just 2-3 days, either because it was soaking wet or smelled awful.
Cat's Best Öko Plus delivers on its promises, and all the cats accepted it without any issues. It clumps excellently and has a pleasant wood scent – there’s never any unpleasant odour. A 40-litre bag lasts us over a week (2 XXL litter boxes and 1 regular litter box), and you only need to top it up rather than replace it entirely.
Although it’s stated that the litter can be disposed of in the toilet without any problems, you should still be cautious. After a week, the urine clumps caused a blockage here.
The only downside is that the litter gets carried around the house by long-haired cats. But that’s a general issue and not specific to Cat's Best Öko Plus.

But the absolute best!!!!!
I bought the Universal Litter once and have to say, that litter is good too, but this one is definitely the very best for Micky and me.

I'm thrilled!
I’m honestly super impressed with this litter.
I’ve tried quite a few litters now, and I’m really thrilled with Öku Plus.
The claims about its efficiency weren’t exaggerated – it lasts forever!
The smell of the litter isn’t unpleasant; it just smells like wood.
It clumps really well, much better than many other litters.
What’s especially great is that the clumps aren’t too big because the moisture is absorbed so quickly, meaning it doesn’t spread out. This results in small clumps that can be easily flushed down the toilet.
So, both my cats and I are completely satisfied!

Superb! best litter by a mile!!!!!!!!!
Cant recommend enough. This is the best litter i've ever used - no smell whatsoever, the clumping is excellent meaning its clean as all wee and solids are removed daily, and works out cheaper than other non clumping brands as it lasts longer AND DOESN'T STINK OUT HOUSE!

Love at first sight!
Hello lovelies, now I’d like to throw in my two cents as well. I’ve tried quite a few types of cat litter. I have 4 cats, two regular house cats and two Turkish Angora cats. My boyfriend and I were honestly at our wits’ end because no litter had impressed us so far. Finally, I came across Cat's Best Öko Plus and thought, well, let’s give it a shot, and lo and behold, we’re absolutely thrilled!
It hardly smells at all, only if you’re standing right in front of it when the big tomcat has just done his business – and I’m not talking about a small pile here... :oP
It clumps really nicely – it’s actually fun to clean the litter box =) I use it in combination with Multi Fresh, and now there’s no cat smell at all. It barely tracks out of the litter box either; I’ve got a small mat in front of it, so the litter sticks to that when they jump out. I also find the light wood scent very pleasant. I’ll definitely try it out with my ratties as well.
Oh, and one more thing that comes to mind: if you dispose of it via the toilet, you’ll need to flush again or in between occasionally, but it’s not a big deal.
Best regards,
TheMuseInMyHead

Optimal Cat Litter
For about 30 years, I’ve been searching for the perfect cat litter for my cats. Now I’ve found it in the form of Cat’s Best Öko Plus. Since then, there’s no need to clean the litter box anymore, there’s no unpleasant odour, the litter box itself stays clean, and disposal via the toilet is simply brilliant!!! It’s a shame that I only found out about this product by chance at the beginning of this year.

Suuuuuper
Our cat is a little diva and doesn’t accept just any cat litter, but this one seems to be good enough for her! And it’s great for us too, as you can dispose of it directly via the toilet!

More people should buy this cat litter!
I can wholeheartedly recommend this cat litter to absolutely anyone who owns at least one cat.
Not only is it environmentally friendly and easy on my wallet (since it’s eco-friendly to dispose of and incredibly long-lasting), but it also saves me time (I don’t have to clean the litter boxes as often anymore) and spares my cats’ nerves (they don’t even want to go outside to do their business anymore; instead, they lounge around at home in bed, on the sofa, or in their little hideouts, mainly using their litter boxes now, which has made them much more relaxed).

Is the sound quality really better?
Yes, I’ve also been testing Cat's Best Öko Plus cat litter for some time now. At first, I was really impressed (great clumping, and the smell was genuinely pleasant), but lately, I’d like to know where I can get clay litter, as I’m now tired of having to vacuum and sweep so often...

Eco-friendly and incredibly efficient
I used to always buy this clumping cat litter at our local supermarket, but now I can’t find it anywhere, in any shop… for whatever reason…
So, for two weeks, I switched back to Bio Cat’s, which drove me absolutely mad again because the 10-litre bags are ridiculously heavy, and with two fully grown cats and currently six kittens, the waste regularly overwhelms our two-person household’s rubbish bin…
Luckily, I found my favourite cat litter here again, even in a 40-litre bag!
This will last me at least half a year now because the cat litter truly lasts ULTRA LONG! I also don’t have to clean the litter boxes three times a day, like with regular cat litter, because they start smelling after just a few hours. No, once a day, or twice if there’s a particularly big mess, is more than enough.
And to stop the crumbs from being carried all over the flat and scattered everywhere (since the litter is very light and tends to stick to their little paws), I’ve simply placed stylish runners under the litter boxes. Most of the litter that gets carried out stays on the runners, and I can just pour it back into the box.
I’m so thrilled with this clumping cat litter that I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Really BRILLIANT! Also great for kittens.
This litter is truly highly recommended for several reasons: 1) very economical 2) pleasant wood scent 3) kittens who are just learning to use the litter box, play in it, or might even eat some of the litter, don’t experience digestive issues or risk a bowel obstruction! 4) the size of the wood/plant fibres is small enough to dig around in comfortably :-) REALLY TOP-NOTCH all around and absolutely worth the price!!

Excellent - very long-lasting - good at odour control
About a year ago, we switched to Catsbest Öko because of a very convincing brochure. I really liked the ecological degradability – and the fact that you could even flush the clumps down the toilet, although I don’t do that since the household bin is closer.
In 16 years of having cats, we’ve tried various clumping litters but were never completely satisfied. Either the smell wasn’t contained, the clumps crumbled too easily, or everything stuck to the walls and floor of the litter box – which is no longer the case now.
I won’t be switching again because Catsbest Öko truly meets all our requirements 100%.
Even our cat sitters were pleasantly surprised when cleaning the litter box and mentioned to us that during their two-week stay, they hadn’t felt the need to change the litter at all. They even asked what kind of litter it was – a complete change is rarely necessary with this one.
Since our two teenagers are actually responsible for cleaning the large litter box (with a lid and swinging door) on alternating days, but sometimes forget, it can happen that it only gets cleaned every second or even third day despite reminders. Even so, the litter box hardly smells with Catsbest Öko, and after cleaning, there’s no smell at all, which is truly remarkable. With previous litters, the smell often remained bad even after cleaning.
The very large bag is lighter than you’d expect, and I can easily lift it even when it’s still full to refill the box – something I always struggled with due to the weight of other litters.
It’s true that this litter is lighter and therefore gets carried out of the box more easily, but I’ve always had crumbs in front of the litter box with other litters too. It might be slightly more with Catsbest Öko, but it doesn’t matter because the crumbs end up on the 1-metre-long dirt-trapping mat we’ve placed in front of the litter box specifically for this purpose. Thanks to the extra-long fibres, the crumbs are brushed off the cats’ paws and between their toes, so they stay in front of the litter box and don’t end up scattered around the house!

Lasts incredibly long
I have 4 cats who, despite being outdoor cats, unfortunately prefer using their own litter box. With this litter, I’ve finally found one that’s truly extremely efficient and absolutely odourless (except for a slight hint of... circus arena?). You quickly make up for the higher price and it’s better for the environment. PS: The tip came from our local cat shelter, who use it themselves, and they surely know why (:-)
