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.

The one my cats would order...
....if I hadn't taken away their internet privileges. Hardly tracks, my fussy female will stand on unlike the wood pellets and is the best for holding in smells. Our go to litter.

very good cat litter
My cat Bonito loves his toilet time. We bought once a cheaper cat litter but it didn't work out. This cat litter is odourless and it clumps easily. i just scoop it 2-3 times a day as my cat is quite fussy if his toilet is not clean. The only problem is that it leaves the tracks, so we have to be hoovering very often. I wouldn't buy any other cat litter. This was recommended by the breeder and it has proved to be the right one.

Longlasting and odourless
I've been buying Cat's best cat litter for the past 3 years. I wish I had swapped sooner. It lasts a long time. It's not a fine sand, rather bigger sand "pellets". It clumps very well and covers odours. Has very little tracking. I love that you can flush it down the toilet. As it states on the bag you shouldn't add too much sand into the toilet at once - as then it might clog up. The sand turns a bit finer once it comes to the "end", ie telltale sign its time to change sand. Give it a try!

superb cat litter
This litter is excellent. Firstly, it clumps very well, so there is less wastage. The piney smell is pleasant and I have not noticed any bad odour, even after five weeks, which is how long a 10 litre bag lasts my two cats. Very economical and good value. To be able to flush down the loo is bliss.

Perfect for us
It clumps well and doesn’t create much dust. If you clean the litter box regularly, it doesn’t smell. Some gets carried out on their paws, but with daily sweeping around the toilet, it’s not a problem. Our cats don’t like scented litter, so this is perfect for them.

I always buy it. Good price.
It's just a shame that zooplus packs it in a big box. It would easily fit in a slightly smaller one if the top packaging was bent. And it makes a difference to me, because I prefer to collect my deliveries from the parcel locker.

It's not the same anymore
I’ve seen that other people have had the same experience as me.
I bought it for two years, it was really excellent.
For months now, it’s not the same anymore.
It DOESN’T CLUMP anymore.
As for the smell, unfortunately I’ll have to try again because I bought a similar one, but the bad odour isn’t neutralised.

Lately, it gives off dust
I've always used this litter and been really happy with it, but lately it's been giving off loads of dust. Even when I scoop it, I end up coughing from all the dust—imagine what it's like for the cats. I'm thinking about switching to a different one.

Brilliant
I've been using this litter for a few months now and honestly I don't regret it at all, it's really great. Plus, with a big bag I can fill five litter trays and still have some left over, so it's really good when you have several cats.

Dusty
The sand is very dusty, which is a shame because it goes a long way and clumps well.

Almost dust-free but clumping is mediocre
I previously used cat litter from Lidl and wanted a low-dust option. I'm very happy with this cat litter because it's quite low in dust and absorbs odours well.
However, I'm unsure about the quality of its clumping. It does form clumps, but the pee clumps break apart when I try to clean the litter box. The pee stays fairly wet, which is annoying because it leaves small bits of litter behind that already contain pee. As a result, the litter needs to be replaced more often.

Cat litter
The litter is fantastic, really efficient, clumps instantly, doesn’t get all sticky, and the bottom of the tray stays clean. I’ll only be ordering this one from now on.

We’ve been using this cat litter for years. Now it doesn’t clump like it should anymore and the litter smells worse.

The best
Our favourite: it lasts a long time, doesn’t leave dust everywhere (like the stone one), clumps well...
Negatives: it sticks quite a bit—leaves marks and it’s a bit pricey.

Very dissatisfied, used to be better, doesn't clump properly.
The first ones we bought directly at Fressnapf were of higher quality.

Very good cat litter
Great cat litter, the cats are happy, it clumps nicely and smells like wood. The pieces used to be a bit bigger, so now they spread it around the flat more, but it's still good and much better than the original bentonite one.

Excellent!
I've been using this litter since 2011 and it allows me to avoid bad smells in the house because I can flush it down the toilet. It's odourless so it doesn't bother me, and it doesn't contain any toxic substances for my pets. Finally, it's clumping and absorbent.
