Great for odour control, clumping & limiting dustiness

A great cat litter for our 2 cats. Clumps well, limits odours, no dusty. Package says it doesn’t have to be changed for up to 7 weeks, which seems ridiculous- but a great product!

Poor packaging

My cats like this litter, but I am very disappointed with the packaging. The huge 40L bag had been put into a cardboard box with another item I had ordered. The weight of the bag of litter during transit broke the second item. This, in turn, tore open the paper bag the litter was in, and the litter was all over the place when I opened the cardboard box. I had to find an alternative container for the litter and then scoop all the contents from the torn bag into the new container. Not good enough.

best litter you can get

Used most other litters in my time - even value ones. This litter is just fantastic - been using this one now for years and converted many owners to it, lasts for ages, no smells, so easy to clean and most of all - safe for my twins - try it and see !!!

Shaz

Very good litter does what it says on the bag, got two adult cats and a kitten, one maine coon which doesn't make a mess, and two maine coon /Ragdoll cross, which does stick to he's furr and gets it all over the floor which have always having to clean up, was thinking about changing this litter, but as this is good litter I will still be using it, as it's cheaper than other cat litter.

Great Cat Litter

I have been trying all sorts of ecological cat litter but the downsides have been that they haven't been absorbant (not clumping), they tread all over the place (clay) and are really heavy (clay) and don't decompose very quickly (clay). However, I have found this wonderful. It is a really good clumping litter, minimal tracking and it stays odour free for at least 4-5 weeks with two cats using it (one with kidney and the other pre-diabetes - so lots of use!). I am buying it again.

Great litter!

The clumping is great, smells are almost completely abated, and it lasts a long time. 4 of my 5 cats use it without issue. The 5th is a bit special, so it’s not the litters fault.

Disappointed

Been using this for years now but the last few purchases have been really disappointing. Very find sawdust particles within the larger particles is to be expected but ive practically had 2 large litter trays of predominantly the sawdust stuff. Doesnt seem to like clumping any more either. Guess it's time to try a different brand 😕

This is our first cat Russian Blue we have used this litter for a year now.I get the 30ltr bag or the 40 with the 20 combined. It's cheap and lasts well with no smell. Yes it tracks a little but it clumps very well. I lift out wee clumps and poo every night before bed and complete change every two weeks. The cat loves it. It is a bit dusty sometimes but if you drop from height outside the wind blows the dust away. Will continue to use this great product.

Best and most economical cat litter I have tried

This is a great product. Not only is it eco-friendly and all natural, but it is also very economical. My first 30 litre bag has lasted more than 4 weeks already, because you don't need to clear out the whole tray after your cat has used it. Will definitely continue to buy this product and can wholeheartedly recommend it.

I love It!

I've only used two types of litter, clay and this one. It made me realise how little mess this one actually makes in comparison. In love that the waste can be flushed down the toilet, and I only need to do a complete change ever 3/4 weeks as it does indeed stay fresh and it lasts. I've had my large bag for 8 weeks now and I've still got a quarter left.

love the litter but not for my furry Ragdoll.

What a shame! The litter itself was brilliant but had to stop using it after only 2 days as it set into my Ragdolls fur. His lovely belly fuzz was covered and it set in there like concrete, so He wasn't best pleased when we had to cut it alll out! i would still recommend it but for kitties only.

Something's changed?

I used to love this litter and put up with the tracking because the odour control was excellent and it was very economical. Unfortunately the last two bags I got don't seem to be as good. The odour control hasn't been a good which I think is because it's not clumping as well and turning to sawdust very quickly. I have an XL tray and when your having to empty and refill such a big tray every week it gets costly! I hope you fix so I can come back to this brand!

Worth the money

I have only use it 2 days but so far I happy it the best cat litter I try ed

Doesn't clump very well

Get rid of the smell really good and I prefer plant based cat litter. However it tracks a lot and doesn't clump properly which become really messy when I try to scoop out my cat urine. It is really wired that the clumping power is more powerful for the 10l bag and the 40l bag is not that good.

It has changed, won't be buying it again

I used this for several years until it changed around 2010 or thereabouts and there were complaints popping up on reviews. I also had a bad bag, however it reverted back to being good stuff although not as good as OKO Nature Gold which was out of stock recently so bought OKO - it is absolutely useless, may as well have used a bag of sawdust, it turns to mush in the tray and doesn't clump. I am hoping it is just a bad batch but not buying it again as it is terrible.

Bought for years, very good!

Bought the 40 litre version for our 2 kittens as we live 3 floors up and carrying bags of litter up those stairs every week is a no no! The 40 litre lasts us about 3 months, changing it weekly. Never smells unless I'm a little late with changing it. The cats love it and have never had an issue with it, which is why weve bought it again and again for the past year and a half. Will carrying on purchasing! Love it. Would recommend to everyone. ALSO you can flush it down the toilet which is handy!

Wouldn't be without this!

So glad i tried this amazing litter! We are a 2 cat household (one of which is elderley and needs to pee quite a lot) and were previously using Catsan (vile stuff) which we were having to clean out constantly because od the smell and mess! With this litter the pee clumps up after a few minutes making it easy to just scoop out and dispose of. We now have no smell at all coming from the litter tray and i even have to look through the flap every so often to check if theres a sneaky number 2 in there as i can't smell when they've had one!!! Yes it does track a bit but if you have laminate floor it's easy to just sweep or vac up. Also lasts so much longer than catsan or any other brand ive tried, we buy the 20litre bags and lasts us about 3 months so more than worth the money! Couldn't recommend this product more! Will not buy anything else! Zooplus super quick with delivery too!

FANTASTIC LONGEVITY BUT AWFUL TRACKING

A friend recommended this litter as I have 7 cats. I have been really impressed by how much longer this litter lasts when compared to all others I have used. However there is a huge downside - it gets tracked by the cats EVERYWHERE! I have capture mats by each litter tray but it doesn't stop them tracking the litter all over the house. Sadly I will be going back to my old style litter (crystals) which don't last half as long as Oko, but stays were it should be.

Used to be great but not any more

Seems like they've changed the product and now it doesn't clump any more. Now utterly useless. Will be changing to a different brand. Very disappointed.

Disappointed

I was really disappointed with this litter. I've 2 adult females who have both had kittens. I chose this as our bin men have been reluctant to take heavy bags and a,like the idea of bio-degradable. I had thought this would be superior to wood pellets but the mess this makes is awful. Constantly having to get Hoover out. I will be going back to wood pellets even though it doesn't clump as well as this one.

Excellent product

It absorbs pee really well and forms a nice clump. It also does a great job with odours. Excellent product.

No dust at all

I love this litter, and so do my pets. There's hardly any dust, but I've noticed that when I buy the same amount split into two bags, it's sandier and creates more dust.

Everything's fine

After reading the reviews, I went with another brand, but I came back and it turned out the reviews were lying. It clumps nicely, the cats like it, there are no problems with it, it doesn’t create dust, and it doesn’t hurt their paws.

Lower quality

I've been using this litter for 4 years, and it was the best quality-wise. I never even tried to compare the price because it suited my needs perfectly. But the last two bags just aren't the same, it doesn't clump anymore, the litter just spreads everywhere. I'll give it another month, but unfortunately I'll have to give it up. I have 5 cats -> 3 litter boxes, and cleaning has become more tiring and less efficient.

I'm disappointed with the cat litter

Hello, I've been using this cat litter for over 14 years. Since my last order, I'm really disappointed. The clumps are soaked all the way to the bottom. The clumps are way bigger than I've ever seen before. Obviously, a lot more litter is needed now. Has the product been changed or is it a production error with this batch?

Terrible

I've been using it for a long time, but lately it's just getting worse and worse. It creates a lot of dust, and the litter itself falls apart. I won't be buying it again. I'm really disappointed—I'm having the same issue with the food, it crumbles apart. I'm thinking of buying elsewhere. The quality leaves a lot to be desired.

Terrible!

What a terrible cat litter! It's incredibly dusty! My cat comes out of the litter box short of breath and coughing. The whole house is covered in a white haze. Whenever I scoop the box, a cloud of dust hangs in the air. I've tried many types of litter, but this one is by far the worst.

Worsened quality

The granules have changed to being big and sharp, so now my cats don’t like using the litter box filled with this litter anymore. Even when you step on it yourself, it’s really uncomfortable, so imagine how it feels for a cat’s paws. It’s a pity, because it used to be great.

Has gotten very bad

I've been using this litter for almost 10 years, but the last 3 batches have been a disaster. It smells terrible. I even contacted Cats Best to ask why, but they just said they hadn't changed anything. It's a shame they don't take this seriously.

Totally gone downhill

I've been using this cat litter since 2020, basically since I got my cats. It was recommended to me and I was absolutely thrilled with it. But for several weeks or even months now, I've noticed that it doesn't clump well at all, and the worst part for me is that it starts to smell bad really quickly!! I never had this problem with the litter before. It's such a shame because it's really hard to find a new, good litter.

Very practical, my cats like it

It's really practical for cleaning, since you can put the clumped pee straight into the toilet. After a few minutes, the pee dries and forms a ball, making it easy to remove. My two cats use it without any issues.

Change in composition?

I've been using this cat litter for over a year now for my three Maine Coons and I was always super happy with it. The new bag I ordered now is useless. All the clumps from the pee fall apart straight away when I scoop and end up scattered all over the litter box. Really annoying. I'd like to know if the formula has changed or if it's still the same and I just got unlucky with my 40-litre bag.

Disappointment

Years ago, this was good litter, but the problem is it isn’t anymore. The quality has dropped a lot, it doesn’t even clump or anything now. You’ve lost a customer who used to buy this litter for years, but I just can’t put up with it anymore. Not giving it another chance, it’s terrible, honestly don’t buy it. Anything is better than this.
