best cat litter ever
I have been using this litter for a long time. At the moment I have only 4 very elderly cats but this litter is kind to little kitten paws and elderly 20 and 21 year old ones. The only problem it does track.

Cat's best... Should be World's Best!
This litter really is the best that there is... Trust me, I've tried everything! Yes, it tracks... It's hard to find a totally non tracking litter. It may be more of a problem with long haired cats but for my short - haired, it doesn't track too much. It clumps really well too and hides nasty smells.
Having recently bought World's Best, I was bitterly disappointed. In fact, so was one of my cats who just refused to use it. So money down the drain, back to Cat's Best!
Soul cats
Over the last year I have used various cat litters and I have found this one to be the best by far. I like the clumping and this means that you are using less litter. I will continue to purchase this from now on. I agree with previous reviews about the tracking but I have since purchased a new open top cat tray which has been much better and solved a lot of the tracking problems.

simply the best
I have tried other brands and recently thought i would try a small bag of Benka a similar bio degradable litter. Didnt like it, this one is by far the BEST.
|
Green friendly and purse friendly.
As far as eco litters go, this is one of the best I have tried thus far, it clumps reasonably well and doesn't smell.
I would have given it a full five stars, but the amount of tracking and subsequent clean up needed is somewhat inconvenient. It's a liveable with issue, but it would be nice if it didn't track so much.
All over the house!
I love the fact that this litter hides smells, clumps, is flushable ... but i HATE the fact that it tracks literally all over the house! Alsdo, since I have a Bengal cat, who loves to 'stir' her water in the bowl (Bengals like to drink running / moving water), I have to change the water extra frequently as the litter sticks to her paws and ends up contaminating her drinking water! However, I keep on using it, because it really is good in all ways other than the tracking.

This stuff is amazing
I love this litter one of my cats was urinating outside the box i tried most things to stop her then decided to buy some of this litter and what do you know no more peeing outside the box any more. Been using this for 2 months now and not one accident. Easy to scoop and flush the clumps down loo. Absolutely no smells whatsoever. This stuff is amazing. It does track but thats a small price to pay and i'd rather hoover up than clean up cat pee. Plus its cost effective in the long run.

prepare for litter everywhere
bought this as a cheaper alternative to WB. Had read a few reviews that said it tracked a little. This doesn't track a little, it tracks A LOT. nightmare trying to get this stuff from the cat's fur and our shoes and carpets. it does clump (eventually) but into massive mushy balls that are terrible to flush. does mask smell well though, silver linings and all that.
never straying from WB again!

First time purchase
This is my first time to use a corn based litter. I was surprised how if you left the poo inside for some times and then scoop it, it smells nothing!
The clumping is not as good as the clay one I had used but is fine enough.
I saw a lot of bad reviews about the tracking so I was a bit worried at first but it seems fine with me as my cat is short-haired and the clay one tracks as well and I am used to it.
Cats favourite so far
I've tried various types of cat litter and this one so far has been all my cats' favourite litter, no issues in using the their toilet (they are sometimes fussy with other litter, same with some food really). It does track a bit around, especially with long hair cats.
Flushable down the toilet, however it appears to have contributed (not the sole reason) to my issues I had with my drain pump, so I no longer flush it down.
Best/worst
Absolutely great on clumping and odour but OMG it's everywhere in the house. It tracks for miles and unfortunately this outweighs the benefits. Such a shame as other than that it's excellent
|
It tracks everywhere
Just awful. It tracks all over the house. If you can bear that, it does clump well.
|
Nice clumping litter
It's a great light litter not hard under cats paws Clumps together nicely when cat has had a wee so easy to remove. Takes away any smells. I'm glad I've finally found a litter she will use when needed no more waking me up early mornings to go out.
|
the best cat litter yet
I have been using this litter for my cat for the past few months, it clumps great, and covers odours: also its brilliant especially in the bad weather, no trudging to the dustbin with waste, just a quick flush after first breaking up the clumps and its gone no problems. Yes it does track a bit but no worse than any other. Wouldn't buy anything else now, and the cat loves it.
|
Love/hate with this litter
I love the odour control, I love the clumping (has to be deep and leave to set before scooping) I love that its dust free, I love that its light weight but I hate the tracking. Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have dark carpets throughout and seven cats. Unfortunately my cats arent the biggest fans of it preferring heavy fine grit litter. I do still recommend giving it a try if you've not found one you like yet and you have wooden or light flooring

First time purchase
I can't agree with the bad reviews, this does clump and is easily removed, leaving a clean remainder. I did put in the 5 cm depth recopmmended and I think this is about right. I haven't been brave enough to chuck it down the loo yet, a new concept for me!
Tracking is no worse than catsan, felight, Tesco etc. I am using this for one upstairs cat, I am returning to crystals for downstairs where tracking has been a problem with Felight type litters.

Excellent value for money
ok, yes , it does track a bit but I am preared to put up with this as this litter is superb value for money, easy to dispose of and completely eliminates odour. Thoroughly recommend it. I would not use anything else now.

Nice litter, shame about the tracking
My cat likes this litter, and it clumps nicely so is easy to deal with. However the tracking is dreadful! My whole house is covered in tiny bits of litter from my cat's paws. I put a special mat outside the tray but this made no difference at all. If tracking isn't an issue for you, I'd recommend this product. If it is, avoid!
|
Great
I love this cat litter. It clumps together really well and covers up the toilet smells. It's a great bonus that I am able to flush it too, which makes life a lot easier! One very slight downside (but I wouldn't rate it lower because of it) is that is tracks quite a bit, but I don't mind having to hoover it often, as it is a great litter.

Worst for tracking
Gets stuck in paws and ends up everywhere in the house
Even put a tracking mat in front of the litter box to catch majority but no good. Switched back to wooden pellets

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.

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.

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 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.
