Great for Cats and Ferrets!

I have 5 cats and 2 ferrets so finding this litter has been wonderful. Odour control good for the ferrets and the clumping is great for the cats. Tracking is not a problem as my litter trays are in a wendy house in the yard but it does seem to be over the floor in there. One cat is diabetic and at first I found the litter went too slimey as he wees A LOT but a very deep tray full of litter and scooped out twice daily solved that and the smell from his wee is loads better. I also have found i don't have to change the trays fully much any more as it does clump and stays clumped so you can remove the waste.

Hardly any tracking!!!

The reviews almost put me off because of the 'tracking issue' but i'm so glad i tried this litter!! I have put a piece of Vetbed by the entrance of the litter tray and have found no tracking whatsoever. I really love everything else about this cat litter too: the smell, the price, the clumping, the fact it is biodegradable, etc. My cats are also very pleased. Highly recommended :-)

Actual clumps!

Finally a cat litter that actually clumps without forming layers of cement strata in the litter tray... Very important when you have large cats who wee like the Hudson River! What a relief. Yes, it does go everywhere but I have to sweep up every day regardless of the litter I use. The 40l bag is very heavy and awkward to move/fill up from but very good value.

simply amazing!

simply the best cat litter on the market. i have tried lots and wouldnt use any other now i have tried this one . What i like about it most you easily flush it down the toilet -brilliant!!!

No smells but spreads everywhere!

This litter is quite granular in texture - a bit like the broken up bits of popcorn at the bottom of a bowl! It has great odour control and lasts a long time but spreads ALL around the house. I've never had this issue with any other litters and will go back to using Cat's Best Nature Gold which is a bit more expensive but stays in the litter tray.

Impressive!

This stuff is amazing (although this is my first cat, so am easily pleased)! Clumps really well when wet which ensures the minimal amount of wastage. Masks the smell (of urine, at least). Flushes down the toilet and the rest is OK for the compost heap as and when you require! What more could you ask for!? The instructions were all in German but, on a visit to a pet shop I took a picture of the English ones. However, it's not rocket science...put 5cm or so in litter tray, clean out when required! I didn't have an issue with the smell of it out-the-bag and the cat doesn't seem to mind it!

Great Litter but not fo long haired cats

I loved the idea of the litter, the fact you can flush this is great and it clumps well, looks a bit like sawdust. Only problem is my two hairy beasts track it all around the house. Am now sick of hoovering every 2 mins or walking it into the carpet. Would reccomend if I had short haired cats but back to the drawing board for me.

Oko is the best

I have tried loads of different litters over the last 25 yrs, all the cob and corn to recycled paper! Nothing and I mean nothing comes close to how well this works ! I have 5 cats and this means no smell , minimum fuss in cleaning and minimum waste. It's brilliant I can't fault it

THIS IS VERY, VERY GOOD!

This is the best litter I have ever used. It clumps and covers well. Best to use a deeper tray, and put in a good depth of litter, I put in nearly three inches. This helps the clumping, keeps the tray cleaner and makes it easy to scoop out. I then drop the clumps into the toilet and allow to soak before flushing. For the first time ever, cleaning out the spoil tray is no longer a smelly chore. You will get some tracking, but it is easy enough to brush / hoover up. Strongly recommended.

Great litter

This litter is great as it does not smell, it hides the smell of cat waste and you only need to throw away a small amount at a time. It does not harm the cats' paws and it is not dusty. It does track around the house but this is a small price to pay for great product.

Brilliant cat litter

I can't rave about this litter highly enough! It is really economical, I've found I haven't had to fully empty out my litter trays as frequently as with other litters so it lasts a long time. The urine clumps really well and is easy to scoop, and it doesn't stick to the bottom of the tray when it's shallow like some clay litters. The best thing about this litter is that it's flushable, it makes it so convenient. I find that the only problem is that it does track quite badly, but I purchased some mats and that picks up most of it.

Great

After years of using the cheapest supermarket cat litter I was a bit sceptical about switching to something that seemed so expensive for my 2 cats (one indoor and one an occasional user, she seems to prefer my next door neighbours garden >.<), but i got the large bag and it seems set to last 3+ months (just under half left after 2). Works really well and doesnt smell to bad, is a little on the light side so tracks a bit but doesnt get caught in my long haired cats fur which is great ^^ they did seem a bit sceptical about using it at first although i combined the new litter with the roll'n'clean litter box but after a week confidently removed their old litter tray and litter.

The best

After looking after my indoor cat for 16 years who sadly died 3 years ago. I recently took in a rescue female that turned out to be pregnant and now I have 5 indoor kitties. I tried oko and I can just simpley say "it's the best cat litter in my 16 pluss years experience of looking after cats". No smells and easy to keep clean.

So much easier to use

My outdoor cat has become an indoor cat due to her age and has started using her litter tray four times a day instead of four times a month. I tried lots of different cat litters and all were smelly, expensive and very heavy to carry back from the supermarket. Decided to try this and am completely won over by it. I got a large 40L bag delivered and I can't detect any smell at all. I do remove the clumps as soon as I can and top it up regularly. My cat was sometimes reluctant to use the tray before as she obviously considered it a bit too smelly but she has no such problem with this. She does walk it all over the house but that is a small price to pay for the clean smell. I've invested in a small rechargeable vacuum cleaner to pick the bits up. Lasts well too, it's about a month since I got it and the bag is still over half full. Great stuff!!

BEST EVER LITTER

I have 7 indoor cats and they all love it No smells from the trays and the poo and pee is easily removable leaving the trays fresh and clean A 40kilo bag lasts me one month I remove the dirty litter and wet area from underneath the litter and rake the top over which leaves the remaining litter clean and dry. Topping up the trays with fresh litter when needed. Much easier on my feet when my furries carry it out of their trays on their feet. Although it appears to be more expensive than other litter I find it is more economicable to use as well as the trays remaining clean and fresh.

simply the best

after my 10ltrbag had finished after 3weeks (2 indoor cats) i thought i would try the extreme classic litter, even though extreme classic clumps alot better than oko plus, i think oko plus is so much better for odour control, after one day of using extreme i can smell the litter box so im sticking to oko plus,love the pine smell of this litter.

very good but tracks badly

other wise i would have given it a very good. i will keep on with it though as it has no horrible smell, appears to last much longer than the sofisicat i used before.

brilliant odour control

I am a new cat owner and after four different types of litter i decided to try this as i saw a review on utube for this product vs classic so next i shall be trying that but im sure nothing can beat this

Best litter out there!

I have changed to Cat’s Best Oko from World's Best primarily because of the price. I think it performs better in other ways too; the smell is loads better, it clumps better, and lasts just as long. However, as other reviews have stated, it does track a lot. I would recommend using it with a covered litter box and mat. I have incorporated sweeping up the tracked litter into my daily litter cleaning routine which means that this litter is more time consuming than others. It also helps that I have wooden floors, I am not sure I would use this litter if I had carpets, or I would switch to the ‘Gold’ version. Having said that I will not be changing – this is a really great litter for a really great price!!

Bengal and moggy share litter trays.

Fantastic. Bought this after my daughter started using it. I have cut trays down to 3 instead of 7!Plus the pee pads i used to use. It seems dear as I have big trays and use a deep amount but the pee balls, as we call them, clump and scoop easily. Being disabled this litter makes it much easier to deal with.

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.
