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.

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.

Cat litter
Worst cat litter ever, absolutely stinks and so messy, would 100% not recommend. Catsan is far superior
Changed formula
Had been using this for 4 years and it was fantastic. They’ve changed the formula and now it doesn’t clump and my cat refuses to use the litter tray.
Will be switching to another brand.

Sure, if you fancy hoovering 5x a day
...and still not be done. This litter gets wedged on my cat's paws and goes everywhere - floor, furniture, dining tables etc. That's with twice a day scooping the litterbox and a mat outside to catch stray litter. I haven't had more mess in my house ever. It's disgusting... I bought it on offer a month or two ago and I felt I had to finish it, but never again.
That's not the only problem btw - feeling the litter on my palms made me realise that it is fairly jaggy and not great for cat paws.

What's happened to this product?
I've been using this cat litter for several years happily, but the last few bags have been sub standard.
It's now got too much dust within the bag, this has drastically increased the amount of tracking around the house, really unhappy about this cat litter now.
Time to find another brand
A mixed bag - try it for yourself
Positives: clumping is good, can put it straight in the toilet, so cheap
Negatives: tracking is poor, odour control isn't great
I wanted to try this because the reviews are so mixed. For me, the convenience of being able to put the clumps and poo directly in the toilet is a massive plus. Taken with the eco-friendly aspects, that means I'm happy to deal with the tracking and the occasional smell. I'd recommend trying the tester bag if possible to see if it works for you.
Hairless surprise
Used a different brand before but at the end of 2024 they stopped selling our fav litter so had to try this one. At first it looked okay because the similar texture and pellet size. But 2 months later we noticed that our longer hair girl started over-grooming and the hair from her belly and all four paws disappeared and she was covered in those regions in bald patches. We thought the new family member etc caused this but I decided to try the T******* brand and her fur rapidly grew back. So...

Great for indoors
I've tried loads of different types of cat litter before, but I was already using this one with my previous cat. There's no smell of urine, the dirty little clumps go straight into the toilet with one move, so there's no 'tired' litter left. No need to clean the litter tray, it's always fresh.

Loss of quality
I've been using this litter for years, and the last one I bought this month is different. As soon as I poured it, I noticed the colour was darker, but what really surprised me is that it CLUMPS TERRIBLY, nothing like it used to. And on top of that, I've got a 40-litre bag 😓 I don't understand why they do these things, they've lost a customer with me.

The worst cat litter
Tragic! The worst cat litter I've ever tried. Cleaning it up is a disaster, it doesn't clump. The smell when it comes into contact with waste is unbearable. We couldn't get rid of it from the flat, even after switching to a different litter.
A waste of money. I do not recommend it!

Strong smell
Wow, such a strong smell that the whole flat reeked of it. If you’re even a bit sensitive to scents or have asthma, you really shouldn’t buy this. I couldn’t use it.

Decline in quality
For some time now, the litter has stopped clumping like it used to, so dirty bits of litter end up in the tray, which just makes the tray smell. Instead of a nicely clumped ball, you just get a mushy mess. I’ve been ordering this litter for years, but now I’m simply disappointed, and I probably won’t order it again.

Not Quite Perfect Litter
I switched from bentonite litter to Cats Best because the bentonite litter was too heavy. My cat lady loves Cats Best. She buries her business really well and there’s no smell of cat toilet at all. I’m only giving 4 stars because it’s quite dusty. I always buy the big 40-litre bag for two litter boxes. When the bag is empty and there’s only a little litter left in the box, I throw out the remaining litter completely and refill with fresh litter.

Very good

It's alright
It clumps well, can be flushed down the toilet, lasts a long time, and doesn’t make their fur all dusty.
One problem is that you have to sweep a lot. It’s not too bad if you have a rug in front of the cat toilet, but it would get spread everywhere if you didn’t pay attention.

SUPER BUN!!
I initially bought the 8.6kg pack. It lasted heroically (about 2 months for one kitten). Now I ordered the big 17kg bag. It covers the smell very well, doesn’t scatter litter around the house, doesn’t stick to their paws, and forms clumps that are very easy to collect.

Dissatisfied
The fact that you can flush it down the toilet doesn't make up for how dusty it is (to the point it makes you want to cough), how much it spreads around the flat (even with a short-haired cat, it ends up in the laundry), and how poorly it absorbs smells, especially from faeces. I'm only giving it a second star because at least the urine clumps together nicely.

Brilliant
Top-notch litter, no dust, no unpleasant smells. I've been using it for a month now and haven't even needed to clean the tray. Really economical as well.

Finally, a good litter
We've tried all sorts of litter—silica, bentonite, different brands—but this one is the real winner. It clumps well, flushes down the toilet easily, and finally, the litter doesn't stink. It has a pleasant wood shavings scent, like being in a carpenter's workshop. It's true that Lilike tracks out a few bits, but that's the same with all the other litters, even with a mat in front of the tray.

Odourless absorbent
Very absorbent litter, easy to remove because it clumps together. No smell. Wood shavings, so it's eco-friendly.
