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.

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.

It is the best

We have been using this for about a year. It works very well, does not smell, is easy to pick up and economical. We use it in conjunction with Petmate Top Entry Cat Litter Box and LitterLocker II Cat Litter Bin. No more cat smells (most of the time).

it has pros and cons

pros: don't smell easy to clean can be disposed in the wc cons: at least for long haired cats they scatter too much, it scatters all around the house

Very good litter - tracking problem can be reduced with matting

Very good litter, holds smells in, flushes, clumps well. As to tracking, I have put down an anti-track plastic mat and this catches the majority of the litter which comes out of the tray with the cat. It is then easy to hoover up with a small handheld hoover (for example).

Zaps kitty odours effectively

Brilliant litter. Odour control is very good. I used to use Catsan but it would only control smells for 1 week (I have 2 cats), deciced to give this a try and was not disappointed.

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.
