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.

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 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.
