Used to be good, not now
This used to be good - it's not now. It doesn't clump properly and it smells.

Does the job but tracks
This is the first cat litter I tried when my boy was just a kitten. It held odours really well and clumped well so I was quite happy with it. However, like many other people have said, the granules track so easily. I am still finding little bits and pieces in strange places 8 months later.

Just brilliant
Have been using this litter for over 12 months now and would not use anything else. IT'S ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, does tend to tread a bit around the house on cats paws, but no bother to clear up. So easy to clean the trays after use and dispose of, especially in bad weather, no trips to the dustbin. My cat loves it too !!!

It used to be the best litter, definitely not anymore
Our household consists of 6 cats, we have used the product for the last 6 years! We were buying 40l bag each month. Well, not anymore. It was really good quality back in a days, but the last 2 deliveries from Zooplus mark new chapter in our lives. The smell in the house is awful after the night, so the days where there was any odour control are long gone, our cats track the litter everywhere, it just sticks to their paws and fur. Instead of clumping - it turns into very fine dust.
Has changed and is not very good any more
I first bought Oko Plus several years ago and it was good, it clumped well and didn't track too much. Then there seemed to be a change in quality and refunds/replacements were being given for what was thought to be a bad batch. It was slightly better for a while bt never as good and I changed to something else.
I was recently unable to order the Nature Gold pellets, always out of stock on Zooplus and as a last resort I bought Oko Plus.It doesn't clump and it tracks everywhere.Not buying it again

Very pleased
After 18 months of dealing with my 12 yr old rescue either weeing on the floor purposefully or missing her tray, I decided to change her brand of litter in case that was the reason. It turns out it was.
I've gone from using Fresh News/Yesterday's News to Greenwoods/Cat's Best, and in the 6 weeks since she's only had one near miss, compared to several per week.
I haven't noticed any difference at all between Greenwoods and Cat's Best. Both track, but I'd rather that than cleaning up wee.

It's changed.
I have to agree with Jennie, it seems different and doesn't clump as well as it used to. I think I'll change to Cats Best nature gold as I've bought it in the past.
Worth every penny
My cat seems very happy with this litter, and the depth you use seems to work for him as he's very into enthusiastic burying. For my part, I find the litter tray never, ever smells and it's just so easy to get rid of clumps and solid waste. It does get tracked about a bit but a mat outside the tray and regular vacuuming keep it under control.

Good stuff, not perfect
On the plus side, it's not too dusty and the cats seem to like it. They have no problem digging in it and covering with it, so of course we'll keep using it. The only negative really is that it tracks SO BADLY outside the litter tray. Seriously. I have to use the mini-vac every day. Two cats + 3 litter trays = litter anywhere within a 20 foot radius. So as long as you don't mind hoovering / don't care about having litter on the floor, it's good.

Gone from best to worst!
I recently reviewed this product as amazing! I breed bengals and so I need a high performance cat litter. I have used this product for about 8 years now but.............
The material used now has completely changed, it doesn't clump together anymore and smells awful, the texture of it has changed and a lot darker. I'm extremely annoyed about it. After 8 plus years of my custom I will no longer be buying it!!! Sort it out cats best!!! Why change a perfect product?

Really is the Best!
My elderly cat prefers this litter to the pellets she was on before - the flakes are much softer, and they clump well, making for easy cleaning. I've found the litter to last longer than the previous brand I was using (Applaws) and no smell issues.
Cat's favourite
My cat loves this and will come in from the garden to use the litter tray because she prefers it!

Horrible odour
Really horibble odour!!!

Tracks everywhere
I tried to love it and it does seem to contain odours and clumps well but it tracks absolutely everywhere. It is so lightweight that one of my kittens just kicks it out the tray when covering up what he has done. I will try a different one with less tracking problems
So convenient
So easy to use. So much better than anything else I've used.

Great for reducing smells
This litter clumps well so you can remove soiled litter easily. Great at containing odours.

Great clumping litter
The litter really contains odours and clumps well to make removing soiled litter easy.
Great but messy
This litter is great for my cat with asthma not so dusty as other litters and as it's natural the clumping ability doesn't seem to bother him it lasts around 2 weeks with spot cleaning but it tracks absolutely everywhere, as it's so lightweight. I love the product but if your looking for a litter that doesn't track on paws this isn't it

Best Cat Litter out there!
Out of all litters I have tried this is by far the best and buying it in bulk makes it a really good price and unbeatable anywhere else. 1 Bag of 40L lasts me about 6 months for 1 indoor cat. It is easy to sift the wee/poo out and doesn't smell. I would recommend this

Great for reducing smells
This litter is great for clumping and containing unpleasant smells from my cats. It is a little bit expensive but a 40L bag lasts my 2 cats a long time.

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.
