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.

Great product

Is flushable.. just don't put too much down in one go (although I so and have for almost a year with two cats and never had a problem blocking drains or toilets. Soft, easy to sift for those little nuggets of brown gold and flushes away with no mess. Great stuff.

Absolutely love it!!!

This is by far the best litter I have ever used for my cats!! Not only does it smell lovely but it traps the wee into a perfect clump and masks the smell of the poop. It also lasts a very long time!! I clean out the trays twice a day but only need to do a complete change once a week! The only downside is, is that it does get everywhere but that's a small price to pay for outstanding performance!

Excellent cat litter

Very good clumping cat litter. I keep trying others but nothing is as good as this and I keep coming back to this one! It's easy to clean as the litter clumps together. Recommended ++++

Best cat litter I have found.

No cat litter is perfect, but this is the best I have found after trying several others. You don't need to change the entire contents every week, just the bits every day.

No cat litter is going to be perfect. But this is the best I have found after trying several others. You don't need to replace the entire contents every week, just the bits once a day.

Brilliant!

I tried a few litters before this and none of them gave me the odour that I wanted (no odour) lol. Since getting this I've made all my visitors tell me what they can smell and they all say they can't smell the litter trays at all. Only one person said she could smell a woody smell but I can live with that. It's particularly important as my kittens are young so we're confined to the sitting room for a while and so the tray was in my sitting room. Best litter by far! I did buy a small hand held Hoover which only cost £15 to deal with the tracking and although, yes it does track, it's no where near as bad as a clay based clumping litter I tried.

The Only Cat litter for us

I've been using this cat litter for around 9 years I've tried others but Always come back to this one. It just ticks all the boxes for us. Now we can buy it from here rather than a "Giant over priced pet store", I'm over the moon.

Amazing!

I use this along with Tigerino for my 8 indoor Siberians. Smells like fresh chopped woods initially. Great clumping properties and best of all, totally flushable down the loo so easy to dispose of. Reasonable price too with efficient delivery services.

Great all rounder

Been using this litter for years now and always go back to it! Covers smells and clumps well. Tracks a little bit, but worth it for the price!

Used and Approved for 10 years

I have four Burmese cats and have long since used Cat's Best Oku Plus to their and my satisfaction. I have occasionally strayed but ALWAYS return after only one tray full , regretting my decision. It last much longer, masks odour very well, doesn't stick to tray or paws and with a good mat tracking is acceptable. I would not flush but use an outdoor cat bin and the lightweight litter is a bonus for fortnightly collections. Happy cats, happy customer.

Not flushable, but great otherwise

Says it is compostable and flushable. My experience is that you should not flush it down the toilet as it will block your drains. It did this after just 4 days and my drains had been ok for 15 years ! Otherwise it is fantastic, is saving me a fortune in litter costs as I have 5 house cats and had been using Tigerino Silicate litter and getting through 12 x 5 litre sacks a week as I have two litter trays. We still have no odour issues and this travels less and we use far less ... saving £££

"Blinded by the dust"

This cat litter would be great were it not for the dust when scooping out, and when cat cover up what it's done. The dust gets into cats eyes and nose, the eyes water and go goey , and his nose runs. It is not supposed to be a dusty cat litter.I cough, each time I scoop out, and fill up box.

Best cat litter

Fantastic cat litter - no odour and you don't have to fully empty for ages. It does track so you will need a good mat.

Its the best!

I tried the crystal litter but it was useless because it would not clump and was so hard to put through the scoop. then I moved on to Tigerino and what an improvement! I thought I had finally found the nest vat litter. Tigerino is good - dont get me wrong, but I tried a sample pack of Cats best - and it really is the best! it lasts longer than Tigerino and I dont know why! anyway Ive still got the Tigerino so I use a 50/50 mix....perhaps thats the secret? my Cat litter is lasting like forever!

No odour but tracks everywhere!

Having previously bought World's Best I thought I would try this as it was cheaper. There is no odour, and it clumps pretty well but the grains are quite large (like wood pellets) and I found that it tracked everywhere even with a litter tray mat. Will be switching back to Worlds Best in future.

It is the best

This cat litter is very economical in use (much more so than ones selling at a cheaper initial price), so it is very, very good value. The fact it can safely be flushed down the loo/composted is also a major plus point. Yes, it tracks, that is its only down side, but any tracked litter is easily vacuumed or brushed up. It is also excellent at odour control.

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.
