It’s ok

This litter is ok and I generally only buy it when the Greenwood’s litter bit of this is not in stock. I started with this brand but once I found Greenwood’s I didn’t go back. The difference to the Greenwood’s is it tracks more and the odour control is not as good. This is a good second to the other brand and better than nothing!

Good litter but not perfect

Okay this litter has more pros than cons. It’s environment friendly, natural and good for kittens as well as adult cats. The only negative thing about it is the fact that it’s not the best smell-absorbing litter on the market. I would still recommend it because of all the positive things - Just make sure you clean the litter immediately after use.

Excellent litter

Having used this product for quite a few years, the wastage on the poop scoop is minimal and flushes away without any problems. This is by far the best product for our 4 maine coons and little moggy. (Also got our breeder using it)Sometimes I do think they love flicking the litter everywhere but that's easy to remedy with the hoover.

Great wood based litter

It clumps nicely, although sometimes they can split if it's not deep enough to make a tidy ball. There is no dust, no smell, and it absorbs the smell of the pee well. My cats are infuriatingly fastidious in covering their 'business' so they do kick it out everywhere, unfortunately one is so big I have no covered trays to prevent this. I've previously bought this from petsathome but these bags are so much bigger and the same price, so I will continue to frequent zooplus!

Great Litter

I have 5 indoor cats, 2 are Maine Coons and I have 5 litter trays. This litter is the best I've found. The wee clumps into a ball, all contents easily removed with very little wastage. The down side, hence 4 * not 5*, litter is traipsed everywhere. It even gets matted into my slippers! For now I am sticking with this litter and would recommend.

Good stuff except it leaves trails

I've been using this for my cats' litter box for several years. First I chose the pellets but then decided on the original as the pieces are smaller and the cats found it easier to cover their mess. The downside is that I found it leaves more trails around the litter box than standard fullers earth type litters so my broom/mop is employed on a more frequent basis. With two cats who drink a lot, a bag of 40L lasts me about 4 months, so worth the money.

Good litter

Clumping is good and does hide smell quite well compared to the others. You do get good use out of it before having to replace the litter, however still would suggest odour eliminator or fresh air ventilation in the area where the litter is

All but the mega pack are good

I like this litter but find that the mega bag which ive ordered a few times now tends to be much dustyier and finer than the other sizes. I suspect this is due to the weight of the bag crushing its own contents. I've now order the next size down. It does well at odour control smelling initially of cut wood which i like and clumps well. As mentioned unless you buy the mega bag it isn't very dusty It does track a few metres but I'm pretty sure thats true for all litter.

Not ideal for medium-long hair cats

This is a good product but as I have a medium-long hair cat I found it get attached to her fur easily and tracks a lot. Hopefully this would not be the case for short haired cats.

Overall a good litter

Having tried all sorts of clumping litter, I will probably stick with this one. My Scottish fold doesn't like clay and preferred to poop outside the box - I didn't like the clay dust. This litter clumps well, absorbs odour well and is so lightweight. The only negative to this litter is the tracking - I have to vacuum daily.

Pretty Good

This is my first time owning an indoor cat and so I don't have anything to compare my litter experience with. But I think this was a pretty good buy. It's easy to scoop and the tray is easy to clean. I haven't noticed any odour beyond the litters actual woody smell. However it gets EVERYWHERE. I found some in my bed this morning and the litter tray lives downstairs. Towards the bottom of the bag it is quite dusty and my cat sometimes comes out with it on his head. But it still does its job well

Would keep using if cats were less diggy.

It's not for us because my kittens are over-meticulous in covering their wee, so they just decimate the clumps (which form well when not interfered with by the way), spreading them throughout the clean litter. It's impossible to remove them all so I can't leave it unchanged anywhere near the time cited by the manufacturer making it way too expensive. Otherwise - really lightweight, no wee smells even with the bits. Does track though..

Great litter

I find this litter great to use and it a neutral smelling litter which is good for my kitten. It controls the smells well and it easy to scoop out urine or poop. I think as long as you clean your litter box regularly it’s fine! There is a little litter that comes out after my kitten has used her box but it’s not as bad as iv read from other reviews a litter mat helps collect any litter bits. I’m happy to continue buying this product.

Overall good but too messay

It is overall a good product e.g. minimum odor, can be flushed down to the toilet, long-lasting. However, the biggest issue is that it spread all over the entire house for some reason. My guess is the material is so light it sticks on the bottom of your shoes so you literally spread it everywhere in the house, especially when you have a dark carpeted area. I have been using it for a year but now considering going back to Catsan smart just for a while.

Good, but takes some getting use to...

At first, I was a bit doubtful that this litter was meeting my expectation in regards to clumping. Odour control is very, very good & the urine DOES NOT sit on the bottom of the litter tray. My cat has no problem using it and yes there is a tiny bit of 'tracking', but no worse than other litters I have used. It takes some getting used to the large 'balls' of urine, which does not clump solid. I guess this is what other reviewers are unhappy about, but it is formed enough to be lifted out.

Great, but tracks

This is without doubt the best litter I have used with my cat. It gets rid of smells within minutes and clumps pretty nicely. Sometimes the clumps break apart if they are stuck against the side of the tray, but the pieces are easy enough to fish out with the scoop.The only issue I have is the amount of tracks this leaves, literally everywhere. But, given that it smells great, cuts down on waste and is much nicer to use, it's a flaw I'm more than willing to accept

Worth a try without breaking the bank

I recently started looking for an alternative to Worlds Best that has become dusty and unusable. I'm so glad I ignored the negative reviews. I ordered a smaller pack to test whether the cats would like it and whether it did the job. Well, after a couple of days I ordered a bigger pack! Clumps well but I'd recommend taking out the clumps as soon as possible as they tend to fall apart if stuck to the side to the litter tray. Hopefully this one stays almost dust-free and the way it is.

DOES THE JOB

Out of necessity, can't go to shops or get a delivery, have had to find an alternative to my usual supermarket litter. Unlike my normal one, this is a clumping litter which I am okay with. It lasts well, it doesn't smell and it does the job very well. However, I can't abide the tracking of the small grains (very similar in looks and size as porridge oats). It tracks all over the house and it looks constantly as if I haven't swept or vacuumed for days, which I now have to do repeatedly.

Good value for money

Can’t complain at the price as I have an indoor cat and struggle to find a litter that suits us both! Non offensive smell, clumps and long lasting
