Light and mushy

Both, my cat and I dislike this litter very much. It is so light that it gets trapped in his paws and he carries it everywhere around the house. Also, when he does wee, the litter turns very mushy and he is reluctant to use the litter box because of this. Once I finish the 40kg bag I bought, I am getting back to Catsan, which suits us better.

Cat's Best Öko Plus Cat Litter- 30l -- L

This is the best Cat Litter I have ever used for my cat...and I have tried many. It does what it says on the pack and keeps odours to a minimum and the price is excellent from Zooplus.

Cat's Best Oko Plus the best!

I have tried a number of types of cat's litter and this is definitely the best, most eco-friendly as well! I found wood pellets difficult to dispose of in an eco manner; the idea was to put on the compost heap (having flushed any waste down the toilet) but this just resulted in a colony of rats taking up residence! I also tended to have saw-dust all over the house, and had to change the litter every couple of days. I was going to try the World's Best Cat Litter made from whole kernel corn but the mice (in the garage) beat me to it obviously thinking it tasty to eat! However, I haven't had the same problems with Cat's Best Oko Plus, and as the pellets can remain in the tray for up to 6 weeks with occasional top ups when the level goes down with removal of waste, it is super economical as well. The granuals do tend to come out the box on the cat's feet, but no where near as bad as the wood pellets. The granuals clump really well, leading to easy removal of waste into the toilet. In the last few days before I clean out the litter boxes properly I let the amount of litter run down, so I am only disposing of a small amount of litter into the rubbish bin (bagged up of course!). Excellent stuff!

Good value for money

My cats love this litter. It's soft on their feet and it lasts a long time between changes

It is what it Best!

Having looked after cats for many years and in that time I have tried lots of different types of cat litter - this is by far is the best I have used. I have 2 cats at the moment and both like using the litter, which is a must, and when they have used it, the clumping action makes it so easy to clean and therefore very economical. I have recommended it to friends and family and once tried they will use nothing else.

So easy

The fact that this litter can be flushed makes life so much easier, my litter tray is kept by the bathroom so all I need to do is scoop and flush whenever my cat uses it, Keeps smell down and saves on having to clean whole tray out as often

The best, easiest, least smelly litter

This is by far my favorite litter I've ever used. We have two cats and two boxes; I scoop the litter every 1-2 days and flush down the toilet. The clumps are slightly delicate, but they work. The big difference is, I only change the whole boxes about once a month--and there is no smell! (I have had catless friends come to my house and comment on the fact that "people who have cats usually have smelly houses, and you don't".) Scoop carefuly, top up a little if needed, and this is a long-lasting, clean-smelling cat litter solution.

Great litter for sensitive cats

Our kitties are very sensitive to earth and crystal based cat litters, so when I found this natural, biodegradable and sustainable litter at a much more reasonable price than some of the more expensive competitors, I decided to test it. They immediately took to it and consistently go in the litter tray when before this was a hit and miss affair! They have used it for about two years now. The tracking of litter around the house is much lower and it is easy to clear up as it clumps into sizes that can easily be retrieved. It is also odor absorbent but only if the cats remember to bury their deposits! Very good value and does the job :)

Good all round product

Have been using this litter for 3 cats for the past 3 years. It does track easily, but it is one of the best litters I have tried. Clumps can easily be removed, even the small ones. I shake the litter box which brings the smaller clumps to the surface which are then removed. If the litter is allowed to stand in the box too long then it does become powdery at the base, but I completely empty the box regularly, by letting the litter level reduce over a few days, then the base dust can be removed. I find the odour control is good.

Great litter

This is great litter. Clumps easily to scoop out. Does not smell. Lasts ages without having to change litter.

Cat's Best Öko Plus Cat Litter

This has to be the best cat litter we have tried. Cheaper litters are a complete waste of money. We have two cats who share a tray and a 40 litre bag lasts us exactly 12 weeks, which works out at £2 a week, so it's not expensive at all. It forms a complete ball of urine which is so easy to just scoop out, and covers up lingering smells too, I've found the secret is too have a good 4 inches of litter in the tray so the urine doesn't reach the bottom when they go for a pee, so this keeps the litter underneath dry, (no soggy mess at the bottom of tray as with other litters). I do a scoop of the tray 3 times a day which helps keep things fresh, sanitise once a week and top up as required, my cats are happy, so we are happy, it does track about the floor near the tray, but that's what a dust pan and brush are for (get a long handled one so no bending). Certainly will be sticking with this litter.

Oko cat litter

I ve used cheaper cat litters in the past and found they work out dearer in the end. No smell off litter tray with this litter

This is THE WORST LITTER, EVER!

I am gobsmacked by all the glowing reviews of this horrible litter! It is awful! It has the consistency of polystyrene crossed with cardboard. So the pieces are huge and strangely lightweight, causing it to become readily airborne and oh-so-attracted to cat fur. For being so light and eager to cling to fur it is useless at the job clumping together for pee and doesn't cling to poo enough to help with the smell. This also caused the problem of my cat feeling like she hadn’t properly buried it so she circled round, digging incessantly, flinging this rubbish litter everywhere… outside of a COVERED litter box! I thought it would be better for a Persian cat because there would be less dust than clay-based litter but nothing is worth this mess. I wish I had seen a review like this and spared myself a big waste of time and money.

Beware of claims

I tried this as an alternative to Worlds Best which is also flushable and brilliant in terms of clumping and odour- but this was on an offer so thought would give it a try. Firstly, it doesn't really clump. The wee just makes a mush which is virtually impossible to scoop. Secondly, it trails everywhere. Got though the whole house. Thirdly. I only flushed a small amount and the toilet quickly blocked leaving a foul smell and water bubbling up through the sink. Would never use again. Gave a sack of it away. Gone back to worlds best which is completely flushanle in small amounts, clumps brilliant and leaves no odour. Even better it doesn't making my house smell like a pumping station. Don't waste your money.

Very good cat litter :)

I am going to carry on using Cat's Best Gold because my kitten prefers it but OKO PLUS is also really good, just a touch more tracking. Quite good value for such good product.

Disappointed

Bought this due to reading good reviews both here and on some forums. I wonder if they've changed the production process as I found that, tracking-wise, it's nothing special, and it doesn't clump nearly as well as I'd hoped. I've tried other brands of a similar size and consistency and find the previous brand I used was better. The wee clumps seem to break apart when touched, which is rather annoying as they start falling through the scoop's sieve. Also I noticed that, with Oko Plus, within a week it did not seem to be soaking all the wee up, as after scooping up the clumps holding to the base of the tray, it was leaving wet trails in the tray. This is only after less than a week's use and only by one albeit large kitten. After I finish what I've got, I will be trying other brands or perhaps go back to what I was using originally.

I don't agree with the majority of reviews

I decided to try this litter because of the high rate of excellent reviews here and on the Finnish site, but wish I'd have bought the smaller bag so I could use it up quicker. Initially, the smell was horrible. The whole basement stunk terribly for over a week. Very strangely, the smell went away and hasn't recurred. The big problem now is the tracking. I've never had a problem with tracking with other litters in the many years I've had cats. This stuff is all over the basement and up the stairs; it's driving me crazy! I'm looking forward to when this bag is used up.

Aileen

This litter is the best I've ever used and I've used quite a few!! It clumps well as long as your cat is healthy!! I.e. One of mine had bladder crystals so it wasn't so good then due to the small quantities of urine. He is fixed now and this litter is brilliant as I can tell imediately if he is having any difficulty. The only negative is that they do tend to throw it out of the litter box but that is a small price to pay for an otherwise excellent product. Highly recommend it.

Trails like there is no tomorrow

I was looking for a biodegradable alternative for World's best. My ragdoll is not a messy litter user and we have never had problem with litter getting everywhere in the flat until I bought this. It clumps ok, but not to solidly, so you need to watch out when scooping out and it trails TERRIBLY. I had cat litter all over the flat and all over the cat. He did not seem to mind too much, but I cannot vacuum everyday. It seems the difference in price means difference in quality

Used immediately!

Wanted to find a cat litter that was environmentally friendly, and also easy to clean from the tray. Previously were using a supermarket own brand word pellet style. Was perfectly happy with it but thought would try something new. Improvement is that rather than becoming loose, damp wood dust, this does form clumps - much easier to remove! There is a little bit of tracking, but we have hardwood floors, and it's day to sweep a few grains up. Our cats are both allowed out during the day, so the litter tray is mostly used at night. However, one appears to like this litter so much has used it twice in two day (since we had it) when she had access to the outdoors. I took that as an endorsement :-)

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.
