This litter came out worst in my personal test of five different types. The cats won’t even use this loo! They just mark it once as a formality and that’s it! Personally, I don’t find it very pleasant to clean either, as it practically flies off the scoop. Out of all five, this one ranked last.

Rarely have I seen a cat litter as economical as cat°s Best. We will definitely keep using it.

I bought this litter for our British Shorthair kitten because it was recommended by our breeder. Unfortunately, I’m not entirely satisfied with it. The wood shavings smell is great, and it clumps quite well, but it sticks to the paws like crazy, and the little one ends up spreading it all over the flat. That’s really not ideal, so we’ve switched to Biokat’s.

We’ve always stuck with EC so far, even though it spread quite a bit in our small bathroom. So, we decided to give CBÖP a try. I was really surprised that it didn’t create any dust when pouring it in, and I thought I’d made a great purchase. My two cats accepted it straight away, thank goodness they’re not fussy about that. Unfortunately, though, the first little pile has just appeared, and with that, the litter was a complete fail. Odour control is absolutely zero! We just wanted to do something good for the environment this time...

The first impression was good. It didn’t really create dust, smelled pleasant, and the cat went straight in and did her business. That was until she did her big business and I didn’t have time to clean it up immediately. I was used to litter absorbing the smell, but this one doesn’t do that at all. After half an hour, it still smelled strongly of the pile, and since our cat loves to do her business at night and we keep the bedroom door open, I’m currently very tired because I have to get up every time to remove the pile from the litter box so we can go back to sleep. I’ve already ordered a different one to test, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll go back to my old one. It’s nice that it’s so environmentally friendly, but the smell is unbearable because it combines with the scent of the litter to create an even worse odour... Such a shame... :(

I’ve tested a lot of clumping litter and have to say that this one is absolutely brilliant. It’s very economical and forms nice clumps.

We (my moggies and I) are very satisfied with the price-performance ratio of this litter and can only recommend it!

Clumping and absorbency are fantastic, and the odour control is truly exemplary! Absolutely zero smell! Unfortunately, I have to deduct points due to the small animal bedding-like consistency: because of the fibrous structure, too much litter sticks to the fur. Furthermore, when it comes into contact with urine, it initially becomes mushy and sticks to the hair around the rear. Sometimes it even sticks to the paws, as Madame has taken to cleaning her paws on the wallpaper ever since we switched to Öko Best Plus!!! However, it's great for short-haired cats!

I now only fill the corner that my two dwarf rabbits have chosen as their toilet area with Cat's Best Öko – much more hygienic than straw pellets. The clumps are easy to remove, and everything stays dry! Highly recommended!

This litter was a complete fail for me and my Coonies. It ends up all over the flat because it sticks to their paws. The clumping is poor, and the smell is barely neutralised.

My tomcat had rejected all the clumping litters I tried before. Then I got this litter, and now my cat loves going to his litter box. The litter clumps really well and smells natural too. Sometimes a bit of litter ends up outside the box, but it’s easy to vacuum up. I also can’t say that it smells bad at all. I clean the litter box twice a day, so there are no unpleasant odours. My cat and I are very happy with this litter. Plus, it’s very lightweight and easy to dispose of. I won’t buy anything else anymore!!!

Since the litter is listed under "clumping litter," I had to assume that this was true! Unfortunately, there are no clumps as you would expect with "Thomas clumping litter," but rather numerous small lumps! Sure, you save a lot, but it’s definitely more tiring and time-consuming!

It is indeed very "absorbent", but the granules stick excessively to the cats' paws and fur, spreading throughout the house or flat. If you value cleanliness around the cat litter area, it’s not recommended.

I've tried all the litters, but this one is by far the best. It's excellent in terms of odour control, efficiency, and ease of use. I use it for two cats and a rabbit and wouldn't switch to anything else.

Our cats are very, very picky when it comes to cat litter, and not just them—my nose too! This cat litter has been a big hit with our cats; it’s completely odourless and super absorbent. It’s the first time in 10 years that I’ve tried clumping litter again, and the cats like it. They cover up their business more neatly, and it’s almost dust-free.

When pouring it in, I was very pleasantly surprised as it hardly created any dust, even when tipping it out. However, the smell of CBÖP is very unpleasant for my nose. It doesn’t smell natural at all but rather like sawdust from chipboard... and as we know, that smells more like glue and adhesive than wood. My cat made this clear to me as well—she sniffed the new litter once and then walked away in disgust. She refused to use this litter. Luckily, we had set up a second litter box with different litter, otherwise things could have turned out differently (like her doing it outside the box or on the bathroom rug). So, I could only test the clumping with water. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any clumping at all, just a mushy mess that couldn’t be removed in one piece and crumbled immediately. Conclusion: Never again CBÖP. What’s the point of the eco-friendly idea if the cat avoids the litter entirely?

I’ve tried many types of litter, but this is by far the best. It’s super economical and absorbent. It hardly produces any dust, so my rabbit feels really comfortable in its toilet.

I’ve had a cat for 6 years. For the past 5 years, our bathroom has had an unpleasant smell of cat poo and pee. No cat litter absorbed the odour, no cat litter was easy to handle without falling apart. I have to say, this cat litter is simply amazing. Our place no longer smells like cat, the clumps don’t fall apart when scooping them out, the kitty doesn’t scatter as much litter all over the flat (especially in the bathroom), and she looks very content. The litter isn’t hard but soft, which must be very comfortable on our indoor tiger’s little paws. I wouldn’t want to buy any other litter now. The price-performance ratio is excellent. I’d happily pay much more for this overall quality. And I’m sure my kitty would too.

The main reason for my first purchase was the good compatibility for both humans and animals! Winner in Ökotest 8/2000. The only litter! It composts well, so no additional waste is generated. It clumps nicely, and as for odour control with the bigger business, I can only say: I remove all clumps daily and add a bit of litter, which keeps the toilet fresh for a very long time. It’s very economical, and I’m very satisfied. The cats love it!

My two cats and I are absolutely thrilled with this litter. Thanks to its efficiency, it's also very cost-effective. It can be disposed of in the organic waste bin, which is great for the environment and saves space in our household rubbish bin! It's true that you often have to vacuum or sweep around the litter boxes, but I've found that's the case with other cat litters as well. The odour nuisance is relatively low compared to other litters I've tried (I've gone through almost everything, from leading expensive brands to cheap ones). I can honestly only recommend this litter!
