Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)
Best litter so far
I’ve been trying different litters , clumping , non-clumping and this one seems best so far . Occasionally sticks to cats paws for a while as we do find it on the sofas etc .

Great but not the “original”
I have used this ever since I first got a cat, as has my daughter for her cats. Very little smell & clumps reasonably well. However we agree that it not the same as before. We could flush it down the toilet safely but now it doesn’t flush away but sits in the bowl. We are having to dispose of wet clumps in poo bags & put in the bin which defeats the object. It is still my preferred litter but I’m a little disappointed by the change.

Very Messy
Really messy so I didn't like it. My cat hated it think she found it sensitive on her paws.

Our Cats Prefer Cat's Best in their litter boxes
Some of the small granules do travel outside the tray, but not nearly as much as other litters that I have tried. The plus points are:
▪️lack of odours coming out into the room ... solids and urine rapidly dried up
▪️ easy to filter solids and wet clumps out and replenish.
Overall excellent

Great litter
Really absorbant, cats will use this wood one were as other brands they won't use trays. Less smell from trays. Easy to pick out lumps.

Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)
Always chosen
Though this litter tracks around the area, it is by far the best one I have used. It is expensive but is generally economical in use as less is wasted when cleaning and refreshing. I foster cats and they, and my own, all use it with no problem.

Zooplus good. Product awful.
I’ve been using this litter for the past 15 years and recently got a new bag. It is a different colour (lighter sandy colour) and does not clump as well. My cats are covered in dust after use.
Really disappointing, so wonder if there has been to a change to the formula or if it is an issue with this batch.

Formula has changed and it’s not good
I’ve been using this product for about 15 years and it’s been consistently brilliant. I bought a new bag recently and the formula has changed. It’s a lighter colour & it barely clumps. SO disappointing, and now we’ll have the joy of trying to find a new product that works as well as the original.

Good so far
I ordered this as a tester to replace the Super Benek and also a paper based pellet from Pets at Home, which is frankly horrible.
I've used Super Benek for 2+ years but it's become expensive and also heavy.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Cat's Best. It's lightweight, smells ok, the cats took to it immediately, even my 17 year old who's been AWOL for 12 years and has forgotten how to use a litter tray. It doesn't really track. And it DOES clump, you just have to give it a bit of time!

lots of dust and travels everywhere
I have been using it for a while. It lasts for ages but my cat started sneezing a lot due the dust. It also goes everywhere even I have a mat

Miss
This product is amazing. I don't normally write reports. A 40 ltr bag lasts me over 4 months. I have 2 indoor cats and they use thier litter boxes often. The product binds and dries thier waste which forms balls which can easily be sifted and removed and has little or no smell. I'm very happy with this product and recommended it all cat owners.

Best Cat Litter ever
Absolute, life changing cat litter lol...it clumps so well and seals in the odours.

Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)
Great litter that stays fresh
Flushable, great odour control and barely any scent to the actual litter. Most importantly, the cats have always used it no problem and will dig in it showing they're happy with it and while it is a bit expensive it lasts absolutely ages while remaining fresh. It does track a bit and will get dusty eventually, but it is very easily hoovered or swept up - I've tried the pellets but the hoover can't handle them.

Best litter
From my experience the best cat litter

Wont be buying again
Smells after 1 day
Excellent litter .
Never any smell.easy to order. Only use 3 packs a year for one cat. No waste.
Good but dusty
I used this for years and really liked it - clumps reasonably well and you can flush solids, which saves a fortune on bags. However, it is just too dusty, it was affecting my lungs. And when I got mother cat, it tracked all over the house. If you changed it more regularly than I did, the dust wouldn’t be so bad.
Best cat litter
This is the best cat litter we have used. It clumps well so you can just remove clump of wee, rest of litter stays completely dry. Cats ( i have 3) like it but do tend to kick it around.
Litter tray stays dry unlike with other litters unless cat wees right at edge of tray. So much cheaper to use as only wet litter needs to be removed and clumps beautifully!! Havnt had to completely empty a litter tray in weeks and no move stinky trays.

Superb
I've tried almost every type of cat litter, and for me and my cats, this one is the best. It's expensive, but it lasts quite a while.

We are satisfied
It's true, this is our first pack, but we're happy with it. Our kitty used to do his business on paper towels, but he quickly took to this litter. It's good for keeping the litter box tidy every day and it does a great job masking odours.

The quality has gotten much worse
I used this for 7 years, but now I'm looking for an alternative. For the past year, the litter has been dustier, the clumps fall apart, and even a single one can break down in water into a sticky mess that's hard to remove and can clog the toilet. Now the cat litter is even causing respiratory problems, despite removing clumps immediately and cleaning regularly. Looks like someone decided to cut corners on quality and brought in ChatGPT to help with it.

Perfect
It's true that it's more expensive than other litters, but for me it's worth it. It's perfect. It doesn't smell bad. My cat loves it. The dust doesn't get up her nose, since it doesn't release any.

Unfortunately..
I have to agree with the rather negative and disappointing comments. Since my last purchase, I've also noticed that the quality has changed. I can confirm the increased dust, the quick smell, and the crumbling of the clumps.

Gotten much worse
We used this litter for about 15 years and were always very satisfied, especially with how well it controlled odours. We had a 3-year "cat break" and have now ordered the litter again. After just one week, you can clearly smell the litter box in the flat. I'm massively disappointed.

Cats Best Original litter
I've been using it for 12 years, it used to be the best litter, but now it's a disaster, just dust, it's no longer granules like it used to be. I'll never buy it again!

Terrible drop in quality
Used to be the best cat litter, I bought it for over a dozen years, but for the past few months the quality has clearly dropped, and since September 2026 it’s just a disaster—different colour, different smell, loads of sharp bits that get stuck in my cat’s paws, it’s dusty, and it doesn’t clump. I made a complaint about one pack and big thumbs up to Zooplus for sorting it out, but unfortunately the problem keeps happening with the next deliveries. The smaller packs (ordered to try) are just as bad, unfortunately.

Cats Best Original litter
It used to be my favourite, but now it's not worth the price. It doesn't clump well and falls apart when you try to move it to the toilet. Clearly, the manufacturer tried to cut costs, but being stingy ends up costing you twice…

We've been using it for years
We've been using this cat litter for years, and it's the best we've tried. It doesn't make a mess like others, does a good job absorbing odours, and you can flush it down the toilet.

Used to be better
The litter used to be really good, but now the pieces have become smaller and drier, which creates more dust. My cat has had to cough more often because of this. I wish it would go back to how it was before. Until then, I'll have to find something else :(

Truly the best cat litter!
Over the years, I’ve searched for the best cat litter. Without chemical pellets or added scents, because cats are very sensitive to smells and things that aren’t natural. This litter absorbs pee well (and forms a big clump), so it’s really easy to clean. It’s also easy to tidy up around the litter box since it doesn’t have tiny pellets. The smell isn’t bothersome either. I can recommend it to everyone!

All my animals developed respiratory symptoms from it – dangerous
There were probably fungus spores in this bag. I bought it a while back when I still had some of the other one left, so we only started using it recently. But once we did, about a week later, first my smaller cat started sneezing and had watery eyes, then the bigger one started coughing badly. I changed all the litter to tofu because I thought it was just the dust... but there was a bed where this stuff was stuck, and when my dog sniffed it and immediately started choking, that's when I realised this must be the cause. Only a few litres are missing from the whole bag... I'm furious.

Cat's Best Original cat litter
The litter is really good for my senior cats, for me it's the cheapest and lightweight. I don't recommend flushing it down the toilet because it takes a lot of water to do so. We need to save water.

The quality dropped a lot since September (at least for the 40-litre)
It seems this is a new batch and they've made changes to the product, which has ended up making it one of the worst I've ever used.
Even its appearance has changed: it used to be light-coloured and yellowish, but now it's kind of grey.
The price had already gone up quite a bit, but we kept buying it because it was the best for what we needed it for. Unfortunately, with these latest changes, they've completely ruined it.

Clumps well and dust-free
I buy this litter because it clumps well and, most importantly, doesn’t raise any dust. Just a heads up: it expands when it gets wet or when the cat pees, so your kitty might get a fright at first, but they get used to it after a while. I love that Zooplus has the 17l pack, it saves me a good bit. Tip: get yourself a scoop for coarse grains so you don’t waste so much litter.
