Stunk up the whole house

We tried this out after reading the good reviews, eager to have a flushable cat litter. This litter STINKS! I was cleaning the litter tray twice a day, and you could still smell it all over the house. It didn't clump properly either, and made a huge mess when getting scooped, as well as when it got tracked all over the house. Cannot for the life of me understand the glowing reviews, this litter was a nightmare!!

Fantastic litter

We would highly recommend this. It lasts such a long time and completely hides any smells very well too. We bought a 40litre bag 7 weeks ago for our 2 kittens and haven't even used half of it yet. Brilliant product and zooplus have the most competitive price for it

Good but not Fantastic

I have 4 indoor cats and switched to this litter a couple of months ago, because a lot of reviews said it was low dust, I’d hate to think what they would call a lot of dust because the dust is far worse than it was from the clay based litter I was using, you can see clouds of dust floating up and around the cats as they use the litter trays which makes me wonder what kind of effect its having on their lungs. Its odour disguising properties are fantastic (or at least it is unless you have a kitty that refuses point blank to bury his mess) it lasts for ages and the cats seem to love it, it tracks everywhere, the floor around the litter trays looks like an explosion in a cornflake factory.

Our favourite litter

Really good product. Environmentally friendly because it is made of wood chips, because it is light and absorbs many times its mass, because it doesn't come from Canada unlike most clays and because it is flushable (think dispersible aspirin tablet, it just breaks down into dust when in water!). Also, it does track but no more than others and much less than very fine clay litters, being light coloured poo is immediately visible and, it blocks the smells rather well with no chemicals! Lastly, it is economical as it lasts for really really long so even though the purchase price is higher, we have calculated that it is no more expensive than the cheap brands to use. Awesome product.

Simply the best cat litter!

We've tried all the main stream litters available and with 10 cats it's no joke the cost of litter! This litter is simply the the best value we have found! Although it tracks more than some of the crystal type litter it clumps really well and reduces some of the more unpleasant smells from the litter box! One 40l bag lasts our 10 mainly indoor cats a month it's an absolute bargain!

Will never use crystals or mineral based litter again!

Been using this for about 18 months now and it really is simple and "clean" to dispose of down the loo (I don't think cat wee and poo could ever be clean but you know what I mean). Our two cats live upstairs away from the dog and this litter has made all the difference.

Tracks everywere!!!!

This litter does track everywere... I will look into an alternative as it´s driving us insane!!! It´s not great at keeping odours under control as well... Shame as it clumps very well and it´s natural.

Tracking is bad

I followed all the recommendations before buying 3 massive bags of this litter, and am now glad to be getting near to the end of it. I have 3 indoor cats, and the tracking is horrific from it, must have spent more on power for my hoovering than saved on littler costs. It is non smelly, clumps well, but it sticks like glue to paws and I am grateful for a leather suite! Thanks, but not for me!

I really wish this worked for us

Don't get me wrong, this litter is great and for my Norwegian Forest Cat it's ideal as it doesn't get stuck to his tail or any other part of his coat. Sadly it doesn't work well in his favourite litter tray as the litter grain is far too big (omega roll & clean) For my other two cats it seems to track terribly, I've been finding this stuff literally everywhere and it's been driving me mad having to sweep up all day long. That being said, I love how I can flush it without worrying about clogging pipes or damaging the environment and it is hands down the best litter I've come across for containing nasty smells. The clumping is great - doesn't break apart when you scoop or let the urine sink to the bottom of the tray.

Cleaning the litter tray is almost enjoyable!

I once bought a cheap supermarket brand clumping litter and it was so bad it put me off buying clumping litter for months. A friend recommended Cat's Best and I've realised how great it is. It has a lovely earthy smell and masks odours so well I barely notice it. The litter clumps into neat little balls and waste is super easy to remove. I have 2 cats sharing one large litter tray and the litter still goes very far. Highly recommended!

Super litter

This litter is great! Love it

best litter on the market

using it for 2 bengals and absolutely happy. easy to clean. no smell. just make sure you put some mat in front of the box to catch the particles off the cats feet. can't recommend enough.

Never have a been excited about a cat toilet product....

....but this stuff is amazing! I never used to get clumping litter and just used to scoop out solids and do a change once a week. This is for 2 cats and 3 trays ao used to get through a lot. But now, a daily scoop and ot doesn't need changing for ages. Got the huge bag and it will last months. Thought it was expensive but given how long it will last and how many bags of cheap litter I would have gone through- this is far morw economical.

Avoid if you have a long haired cat

If you have a long hair cat or semi long hair cat avoid. Due to the light weight of the litter it will stick to the cats coat and slowly be dispersed throughout the house. Smell is pleasant, and clumping is not bad, but this stuff tracks everywhere. Every time the cat uses the litter tray, wood chips are scattered all over the house. Based on other review's I didn't think it would be that bad. However the scale of the tracking means that we can't continue using it unless we vacuumed every day and swept after each use.

What more could you ask for?

Excellent litter. It clumps, it flushes, it's well-priced, it's good for the environment, and our cats like it. What more could you ask for?

Best ever

Before finding this product I have tried all the other supermarket brands but to no avail. All of them smelt horrible after my cat used the tray. I found Oko Plus Cat Litter really good and smell free. Would recommend.

Stop searching ..this is the best litter on the market.

As the title says this is the best cat litter i have found i have tried many many litters but this is true the best when it comes to fighting odours....don't be put off by the price as the bag will last you for ages. 40L bag lasts us 3-4 months with 1 indoor cat. Litter is also flushable in the toilet..and totally natural and non clumping

Great if you don't mind constant hoovering!

This cat litter lasts longer than any other litter, clumps well and disguises odour. Thats all great but have found the tracking to be pretty bad. Am rather house proud so like to keep a clean ship but found I was having to hoover the cat room and hall at leaf three times a day. It may not help if you have six cats like I have and long haired. For those with less cats I would recommend ir but the tracking was too much for me.

The best cat litter I have tried so far

I have tried so many different types of cat litter now - thankfully our cat seems nonplussed and I'm keen to find her something good, then stick to it. Up until this point, I couldn't find something that lasted, controlled odour, felt like the 'right' choice for her and that was, overall, good value for money. The fact this is more eco-friendly than others is a bonus! This has been ticking all of the boxes. It's incredibly light so convenient to use, there is virtually no bad odour at all, it lasts for ages as long as you scoop daily and occasionally top the litter up, and for this reason, it's good value for money. I averaged £15 per month on moderately good litter. Now I average £10, give or take. Some people have complained about the tracking but, from my experience, this has not tracked any more than other cat litter types I have bought in the past. Whether it was clumping micro granules or the slightly larger granules, they were still all tracked, the thicker granules being worse. I've just accepted that there will be some around by her litter box so keep a broom there. All in all, really happy with it!

The best litter

Best litter on the market, does not smell ever in my house. I use royal canon and natural food for my cat so there no odour. Was dreading the smell part as i rent in two rooms attached to each other but have had no worries in the confined space. Just bought a bigger bag! Does make a little mess and can build up if not cleaned but i have bought a litter mat which captures most of as my cat comes out.

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.
