Best and most 'value for money' cat litter

I run a boarding cattery so use a lot of litter. Oko Plus keeps smells to a minimum and is easy to clean,it is the most economical litter I have used. The really good delivery service means that I can forward plan for my busiest times and know that the litter will arrive on my doorstep (free delivery) within two days of ordering. I have converted owners to Oko Plus as they often say that cleanliness and 'no cat smell' factors means a lot when choosing a cattery for their pets stay.

At last - the house has stopped smelling like a public toilet!

We have 2 kittens that are indoors till they get their jabs. Tried regular clay litter, wood pellets and supermarket own odour control type. With each type after 2 days the house would reek of their stale urine and I'd have to completely empty and refil the tray. I switched to Oko a week ago and I am sat next to the tray as I type and I can't smell a thing - it's such a relief! When the kittens pee I just have to fish out a golf ball size of clumped litter and the rest remains fresh. It may seem expensive initially but if I don't need to replace the entire tray contents every other day (or even at all?!) then the bag is going to last ages (p.s the large bag on zooplus is cheaper than anywhere else I could find on the net). Yes it does track more than other types, but I have contained the litter tray inside a cardboard box with a 5 inch wide opening cut down one side and put a grooved door mat in front and it contains the litter pretty well. For me having a few flecks of litter on the carpet is preferable to people gasping for breath when you open the front door!

Lovin this litter!

Been using this litter for a few days now and so far so good! No bad smells and i like how it clumps, underneath rather than on top. Previously i have been using Catsan and Clean 'N' Tidy but both had bad oder. Catsan also wold full absorb my 2 kittens pee and it just sat in a puddle at the bottom and Clean 'n' Tidy clumped like cement and could be quite tricky to remove. So far this little is easy to managed and like i said no oder :-) The reason this didn't get a 5* was because of the tracking. It does track more than the other litters i've used but it doesn't get stuck in my cats fur or other places so i plan on sticking to this litter for a good while :-)

THE BEST EVER - After trying 7 brands

I tried 7 different brands of cat litter, because we are very particular about the smell which comes from the used litter. CAT'S BEST justifies its name, its odorless, easiest to clean, and my cats like it! Its affordable, and convenient...I recommend it to every cat owner...Thanks a lot to whom so ever makes Cat's Best

Never going back to another litter!

Prior to buying this litter I was cleaning the tray out daily to try to rid my house of the smell of cat pee from my one young Bengal, it was making life miserable. I bought this thinking it would be the same as other litters but wow, the difference! This is amazing, it lasts for ages before needing to be changed and simply DOES NOT SMELL!! It's revolutionised our life quite literally. I won't buy another litter now. Yes it's expensive on the face of it but it really does last so much longer than cheaper litters so you don't have to fork out so often. Brilliant!!

Does what it says.

The cost of this litter made me think twice about buying it, but I started off with a small bag, and am so glad I did. I have now bought a huge bag. I have kept cats all my adult life and this is the first litter I have tried which does what it says. It clumps all urine so that it can be scooped out, and the tray always smells fresh after scooping. I top it up as I feel necessary, and with two cats using one tray it lasts for ages. I was used to having to completely empty the tray, wash it and completely refill, twice a week with previous litters but with Cat's Best this is not necessary. It does track out of the litter box,a bit, but so have other litters, and I have put the litter box onto a little mat to contain the mess. I carry the bottom of the litter box to the toilet, and simply scoop and flush everything away. It makes life so much easier, try it.

Very good BUT

After reading up on this brand of cat litter, I would buy a bag and give it a go, It is very good, no smells BUT it does leave bits on carpet, Went out and brought a rechargable hoover, So now the bits can be hoovered up and not causing any more problems, It is more expensive than what I was using before BUT you use less of this and it does not smell at all, Only have the one indoor cat that using the litter box

Cats Best Litter

This litter has revolutionized my life ! Amazing stuff and no bad odours, having 2 cats in the house its simply fantastic :-)

best litter EVER

simply the best cat litter ever. only the faintest sawdusty smell from it, it clumps really well and it's a doddle to clean the clumps out. i can see it lasting for ages and i'll definitely be sticking to this brand. one happy kitty, one happy owner!

Brilliant!

I had a problem with tracking - even finding bits of litter upstairs! Now it just tracks a little around the litter box, therefore much easier to keep clean. I use an extra large scoop, once a day with a top up if necessary, and now only need a complete litter change once a week. It works out cheaper too as one 10l bag (£7.99) will last two weeks (2 cats) instead of four 10l bags of ordinary stuff (approx. £12 every two weeks).

Cat's Best Öko Plus Cat Litter

Very good litter. Does all it says on the pack. Buying more after one try.

Good at clumping but really messy

I have an indoor cat and I have a preference to wood based litters. I was impressed with the way the cat litter clumped. However, I've given this a 2 star as I constantly had to sweep up the litter. I've reverted back to my previous brand which is cheaper and not as messy. Glad I tried it but sadly I won't be buying again.

THE BEST

Lightweight, easy to clean, no dust, no smell, my cat loves it too.

'Cat's Best' lives up to its name

I work as a cat sitter, as well as own and foster cats and, having been recommended this litter by a friend and a client, I can honestly say this is simply the best cat litter ever I've used. It really does live up to its name and is odorless, pleasant to use and very economical as it forms easily removable clumps, so only soiled litter is removed. It also has the benefit of being biodegradable & kind to the planet. And the cats seem to like using it too! I now recommend it to all my clients and friends. Fantastic product at fantastic value. Can't praise it enough.

I love this stuff!

Having started my kitten on a cheap,non-clumping clay litter, I progressed to "worlds best" which was perceived by my four dogs to be a ready snack. I love "cats best". It clumps really well, and only the soiled balls need to be replaced. The only smell is a faint "sawdust" one. Although I needed to use a lot to fill the covered cat litter tray, only a small amount needs to be removed each time, making it very economical.

3 House Moggies approve but too expensive

Was put off by the price at first, but caved in as was getting fed up with the previous litter I used always being over the floor or not absorbing well enough in the trays. I have 3 cats who are kept indoors temporarily whilst we cat safe the fence from the road. I am very impressed with just how well this litter clumps, absorbing much much more urine into a small space than other litters do. Having 3 indoor cats, for me this means I don't have to rush about quite as much all day scooping the 4 trays I have in case they go outside the tray. My tabby is also very very fussy about where he goes, usually the carpet or on the puppy training pads! but even he has now started using the tray again now it has this in it, so very pleased about that! It clumps very solidly so doesn't spill all over the floor when you scoop and condenses waste into much smaller piles, leaving more space in the tray for the cats to carry on using until you get round to scooping out. The down size is the expense and it IS very expensive in my opinion, but as a temporary measure until my cats can go outside again, it's something I've decided to put up with so have ordered some more.

Definitely the best!

This litter is the best I have ever used for my cat/s!! I highly recommend it. In order, my opinion on why it is so great: 1) You can throw the poos and wees down the toilet! Really. This for me, living in a flat, is fantastic! 2) It clumps easily with wees and so these are easy to pick up with litter shovel. No residue. 3) Once the unwanted bits are removed and flushed away, it is odourless. 4) Stir the remainder up and it lasts forever! Only one little negative....it does track a bit, but get a litter box mat or rug from zooplus and..... problem solved!

My cats love it !

I have got 2 huge ragamuffin and the both love it . 20 kg litter can last nearly 1.5 months. Brilliant litter simple the best.

Cats Best Best Ever!

I have 4 indoor cats and will never use anything else ever again - neither will my cats! I accidentally took some crystals along to a show, and eventually had to use someone else's Cats Best, because my Oriental kitten wouldn't go to the bathroom on anything else! It DOES track, but bearing in mind all the positives, I am quite happy to clean up once a day!

Best Cat Litter is The best

Used for Two months ,best i have ever used. Tried all types and prices over last 8 years of owning cats .Will stick with this from now on The best definately

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.
