Great litter
Fantastic cat litter! It clumps brilliantly and hardly produces any dust. For the sake of the kittens' lungs... and mine too, since I no longer have to dust the bathroom from top to bottom quite so often. Large piles now smell as if a kitten had done its business behind a fir tree, but the pee doesn’t stink at all – not even in the bin bag! Of course, the granules sometimes get kicked out of the litter box while digging, but we’ve had that issue with other cat litter too. The highlight is that when I vacuum up the stray granules outside the box, the vacuum exhaust smells pleasantly fresh. However, you do need to make sure you don’t just fill the litter box with 3–5 cm of litter. We fill it all the way to the top (around 10 cm) and “fish” out the pee and piles several times a day. After about two days, I top it up again, and after 1½ to 2 weeks, the litter box gets completely replaced (but please note – I’m extremely sensitive, and in terms of smell/usage, it could definitely last longer!). We’ve tried many different types, but we’re sticking with this cat litter.

Suuuuuper
After a lot of back-and-forth trying out various clumping litters, ranging from cheap to expensive, I decided to order this litter, partly due to the predominantly positive reviews here. The bag sat around for a while, but about a week ago, it was time—the litter needed a complete change, and so I used this one. In terms of colour and smell, it’s completely different from all the litters I’ve used before. I quite like the scent, though my cat initially looked at the litter, then at me, somewhat sceptically, but two seconds later, she was already enthusiastically digging and burrowing. The litter clumps brilliantly, and there’s absolutely no odour. Despite its lightness, the granules don’t get tracked around the house at all. After each trip to the toilet, there might be one or two granules next to the litter box—that’s it, so everything’s great in that regard too. So far, I’m more than satisfied and wish I’d bought this litter to test much sooner.

4 Furry Friends
I’d like to share my thoughts on this cat litter now.
IT’S BRILLIANT!
I’m a proud “tin opener” for 4 indoor cats, and the costs for cat litter are quite significant...
But with this litter, I’ve definitely cut the costs by about half. It clumps really well, nothing gets “scattered”, a small scoop for topping up every two days is enough, it’s nice and lightweight, and the cats accepted it straight away. The only downside might be its light weight—it really gets spread into every corner of the flat!
But spending 5 minutes sweeping or vacuuming is something you don’t mind doing!
I’m definitely sticking with this litter!
And I can only recommend it.

In the end, everything turns out fine...
I got myself a little tigress for the house this spring. Initially, I planned to send the little one out to the garden for her business, but with kittens, you definitely need a litter box at the start. So, I went on the hunt for some litter. I immediately ruled out non-clumping litter because it seemed too unhygienic to me. And since I’m a total cheapskate, I tried out all the litters from the discount stores first. Don’t start yelling—I use toilet paper from the discount store too, so I figured it’d be fine for my little one as well. Well, she did use the litter box, but I wasn’t happy with the litter. The regular bentonite litters stick like concrete. I went through quite a few litter scoops trying to scrape the clumps (or whatever you want to call those crumbly formations) off the bottom of the box. The only one that was somewhat acceptable in terms of smell and clumping was the one from Thomas.
But then I decided to splurge a bit and go for something more expensive—and environmentally friendly too, since I didn’t want to cover the whole garden in concrete-like waste. And lo and behold, the natural litter is amazing! It lasts forever, doesn’t smell at all, and my cat loves digging in it and building sandcastles because it’s so light and fluffy.
Admittedly, it does make a mess around the litter box, but mine is in the basement, and a bit of dust is allowed down there. Plus, I make more of a mess myself when emptying the box than the cat does, so I can’t really blame her. Nowadays, I even use the litter for my two rabbits. They used to get wood shavings from Pitty, but I always had to throw away so much "good" litter when cleaning out their cage. Now, I just remove the clumped litter and the little black pellets, and the rest can stay until the big clean-up. It smells less with the rabbits too, and overall, it’s cheaper because it’s more economical.
As long as you don’t live in a one-room flat with the litter box right next to your glass cabinet, where everything gets dusty, I can wholeheartedly recommend this litter. My cat still happily uses her box, even though she spends all day outdoors—a proper homebody thanks to the eco-friendly litter :-)
And if ZooPlus delivers it to your door for £15 on offer, it’s even better :-)))

Give it a try!
The litter is fantastic when it comes to clumping, lasts a long time, and smells like wood rather than the usual cat litter smell. The only downside is that it’s very lightweight, so lots of little grains end up outside quickly.

It stinks.
We tried this cat litter. It smells awful in the flat, sticks to my cat's paws, and he ends up spreading it all over the place, sometimes even with his faeces. We wasted our money on this. In our opinion, there are cheaper options that are much better!

Convinced!
I hesitated for a long time and was initially put off by the rather steep price. But I gave it a try and would never use anything else again. Absolutely no smell and incredibly economical. And that’s saying something, as we have 3 tigers! BRILLIANT!!! :-)

It really neutralises the smell.
Hi,
I'm thrilled,
This product truly delivers on its promises: less dust, hardly any odour, lasts a long time, and is economical to use.
My cats are happy with it too.
I can only recommend it!

Only the best for my cats.
I only buy Cat's Best Öko Plus now.
Super economical, always dry, and no smell.
Just great and highly recommended.

Class
Very strong odour retention,
and the low weight is good for my back.

Super
I’ve tried various cat litters before, but neither my cats nor I have ever been as satisfied as we are with this one. Unfortunately, I’ve been told that it will soon no longer be available here in Switzerland. I think that’s absolutely rubbish... I’m now trying out other options, but I haven’t found one yet with the same quality and a somewhat reasonable price. They’re either three times as expensive or just plain bad. If I put this litter and another one side by side for my cats, they always go to the box with this cat litter.

Super, even in the garden composter
I've been using this litter for many years now. No smell, good clumping, super compostable – it actually turns into proper humus, not that weird slimy clay stuff like with other brands. The only downside: the litter is quite lightweight and tends to get scattered around the house by the paws. I'll give it a go with a rubber mat as well (someone mentioned it further down).

It doesn't get more economical than this.
I’ve been absolutely thrilled with this cat litter for quite some time now, and my cats love it too. At first glance, this litter might seem more expensive than conventional ones, but it’s definitely worth the cost. I get ages out of a 40kg or 40l bag, even with four cats and four litter boxes. The only slight downside is that the litter is very "light," so it tends to get carried around the house, and it’s a bit dusty, which can be annoying. But other than that, it’s an excellent product.

The cats are happy.
I have to say, this is the only cat litter I’m completely satisfied with. I recently tried Catsan Clumping Litter and Extreme Classic for a while, and they just disappointed me. Cat’s Best is incredibly efficient, and even though I have four tomcats, it lasts me a very long time. The only small downside is that the cats drag it all over the flat, even with mats in front of the litter boxes.
But despite all that, the five stars are well deserved.

Gizmo thinks it's great!
From the very beginning, this litter was accepted by my little tomcat. What's really good is that you can hardly smell anything (except maybe right after a "session"), and the clumping is excellent. Another advantage is that you can dispose of the litter via the toilet or organic waste bin. A small downside: it tends to get carried out of the litter box easily; you just have to vacuum a bit more often ;-)

Finally, it's clean.
I have an 8-year-old cat who used to go everywhere all the time. Whether it was in the wardrobe, on the sofa, or anywhere else, she always found a spot to leave a "surprise." I had tried everything—different types of litter, various kinds of litter boxes, different locations for the boxes, homeopathic remedies, etc. Honestly, I had already resigned myself to the situation.
Then, at some point, I came across this litter, and the problem was solved overnight. Since then, she hasn’t gone anywhere else even once.
The litter does stick to her paws a bit, so it gets spread around the apartment, but better litter than "other things." Plus, it’s genuinely odourless.
I’m absolutely thrilled.

Not again
I thought I’d do something for the environment. I should have left it. Expensive product, doesn’t clump properly (only when mixed with other clumping litter), creates a lot of dust and doesn’t absorb properly. I’m disappointed. My cat doesn’t really like it either.

3 cats in one flat???
It doesn’t smell like a litter box in our house... The kitties have a much better sense of smell and know what they like. Plus, the litter is economical to use.

cat litter
I ordered the product, it really sucks well, but what I don't like is the mess and the dirt left on the floor, I'm not satisfied!

Clean Cats
Since I started using this cat litter, my three indoor cats have been clean. I've already recommended the litter to others, and my friend, who also has two cats, is just as thrilled.
