Excellent!!!

My very fussy kitty loves it!!! Keeps fresher for longer and easier to clean out than fullers earth litter. Unlike normal wood based litter the pieces are small like clay litter, not the usual large pellets you find with most wood based litters (which my kitty hates!!!) Also can be flushed down the loo, which is great as a live in a flat!!! :) x

Brill Cat litter

I have 5 cats and I have tried many of different products. This porduct lasts for over a week up to 2 weeks. My cats are outdoors but 3 of them always come back home for their needs, weirdos :) 2 of them use it from time to time only but they all like it. This is the first product that they all like and it is not DUSTY!!! I can flush it in the toilet and it covers the smell. It does the job and me and my cats love it.

The best litter I've used

I've tried most litters over the years including all the premium brands and this is by far and away the best I've used. It does exactly what it promises. In terms of clumping, price and longevity I can't fault it. It's not perfect though, there are tracking issues but as far as I'm concerened it's a small comprimise.

Don't use if you have a long haired cat.. use the gold version

I have always used Cast Best Gold, but as money is a little tight I lookd for a money saving and down graded, however as I have a Maine coon with lovely long hair, this litter is no good as it stick's to my cats fur :0( It is very effective at clumping and if I only had short haired cats I would continue to use it, The Cats best gold is larger pellets and never sticks or tracks. I hope this will help some people.

best litter i've found

As a veterinary nurse i tried virtually every litter on the market, until I found this one. Its clean, hygenic, easy to use and works out less expensive than most other brands. There's a little tracking but it doesn't mark carpets or smell and is easy to pick up. Added to the reliable delivery from zooplus and the fact that I can buy a huge bag and not carry it home from the shop, this litter is my favourite. I have used it for 6 years now.

Best one for me & my cat

Love it! It's flushable (i wouldnt go back to non flushable now), doesnt smell at all, clumps so it's easily cleaned. And only needs full replacement once a month. Only downside: it trails like hell! Oana - apurrfectcat.wordpress.com

Fantastic!

This is an excellent product! The big bag: for two cats and for nearly three months! What's a saving! No bad smell! Absorbs very well. Recommended!

Not As Good As I Was Expecting

After using Classy Cat Litter for some time I read all of the positive reviews about this one and thought it would be good to try something different. We have 4 cats which are mainly indoor. Bitterly dissapointed - a real let down - more odours and dust wth the litter getting stuck in their paws and i find it all over the house! I am sticking with Classy Cat - an excellent litter all round - the hoover has never been used so much in 1 week.

Not the best, but not far off!

This litter is not as good as World's Best but it's also a hell of lot cheaper, I can't justify the cost of World's Best. The litter has an agreeable smell and flushes well (I flush after every two clumps. However, the granuals of litter are too big to fit through most scoops and the balls have a tendency to break-up if you don't lift them out in the correct way. That said, my two kitties use the tray well, whenever I re-fill it they jump in and have a dig about, just to check! The large bags last absolutely ages and the convenience of being able to flush the litter away is really excellent. I will continue to buy until I get rich or World's Best comes down in price!

excellent

my 2 cats love it, it's very easy to clean and you can flush everything in the toilet, so no more smelly bins

Superb!

After reviewing this product I decided to try it about one month ago. We have 5 indoor cats so as you can imagine we need litter that is up to the job! I used to use the wood pellets from 'pets at home' but was using 60 to 80 litres of this per month. That's a lot of waste to landfill and it wasn't 'brilliant' at absorbing odours. So last month I took a risk and ordered 40litres of Oko Plus. I was amazed at the way it absorbs odours completely, the way it clumps into a solid gel that can be flushed down the toilet and at how long it lasts...still have a weeks worth left after 1 month! This is the best litter I've ever used...great price, hygienic, stops odours, the cats love it and it's better for the environment. The 40litre is best value for money from Zooplus and it's delivered so no more struggling from the car! Brilliant!I'm converted! ;-)

Little dust!

I started using this when I had my previous cats who in later life became an indoor cats due to illness - one of whom was asthmatic and the other litters created too much dust which didn't help. They took to it quickly and loved to dig in it. It lasted a long time and although expensive produced less waste and so you use less. My current cats use it as I had some left in the cupboard so used up the bag. One cat is an indoor cat and it is the preferred choice with him as he likes to eat the scented ones!!! The other cat is happy with anything as long as she can dig in it!

poop!

Really not pleased, I always buy value litter and thought Id try this as bags only last us around 3-4days. WELL! someone wrote that this lasts 3 cats 8weeks...Hmmmm did they mean as they have outdoor cats?! Lasted me 3days! and tracked everywhere. I will stick to my value litter!

best litter versus best price

I used to buy Worlds Best and it was breaking my budget. This is a cheaper alternative, the cats love it as well and odour wise it's better than World's best and it's half price. I'm not going back!

use with the litter champ!

Brilliant litter, I was using so much before, and I love how it makes a kind of gel ball, very easy to use and great with the hygenic combination of this and the litter champ bin, it's transformed the arduous task of litter cleaning - no smells or mess! The litter trails a little more as the particles are small, but it's a small price to pay!

Best Litter I've Ever Tried!

I've tried a few litters and prefer clumping ones because I find them easier to clean and more economical. My situation is that I have one short-hair cat who has a covered tray with a tracking mat placed at the entrance which is placed so that he must step on the mat and cannot jump over it. I tried this brand because I wanted something natural and World's Best litter was causing major dust problems in my place and now I'm sold on Cat's Best. The grains are slightly larger than World's Best which means on my short-hair they don't cause as much tracking and dust. I do empty my tracking mat into his tray everyday, but I don't have to hoover around his tray except during my usual weekly hoover. I have no problems with odour, but he does have a covered tray so I don't know how it would be with an open tray. The clumping action is really good, but it is quite easy to spear through the clumps with your scoop if you aren't careful. I find that my litter lasts a very long time as well which for me makes it quite economical even considering that it is quite pricey per bag. I'd check out other reviews if you have a long-hair cat (my sister-in-law swears by pine pellet litter for her long-hair) or an open tray. Otherwise, I think this is an amazing litter!

You can't buy better than this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since changing to Cat's Best my Dylan has never been happier to use his litter tray, unfortunately since taking him on as a rescue siamese someone kindly dumped a cat with feline aids near to us and Dylan now has Feline Aids but we keep him in, he also has a very large pen so he has his litter trays every where, we never get a smell even when we have forgotten to clean one for a few days! (sorry Dylan) It is so easy to clean out and great that I can put it in my compost bin. I would recommend it to anyone with a cat they have to have indoors.

Brilliant - I will recommend it to everyone!

When I first got Bagel I was using cheap cat litters which didn't clump very well at all, I even accidently bought a non-clumping one once and that was beyond horrific! This cat litter is fantastic! I was dubious of the price at first but due to the little round balls of clumped wee barely any litter is used and it lasts for ages! Holds smell well, and doesn't seem to track anymore than some of the other litters I have used (:

YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS!!

Whilst being a slightly pricey option, it is worth every penny and lasts more than twice as long as other biodegradable products such as wood pellets. The product is fantastic for odour control and my kitties seem to prefer this to anything I have used before. One of my cats has a tendency to urinate outside of his litter trays if they are not completely clean but, since using this product for 6 months, he has not done this once! The only down side is that, as it is so lightweight, it does track on the cats paws out of the tray very easily but it is alleviated if you use a mat.

Cat Oko plus cat litter

This stuff is amazing and trust me when I say this, it will last a long time. It clumps into like a gel substance and holds adore amazingly well too. I love the stuff. This is my time of using it and will continue to use it.

It's not the same anymore

I’ve seen that other people have had the same experience as me. I bought it for two years, it was really excellent. For months now, it’s not the same anymore. It DOESN’T CLUMP anymore. As for the smell, unfortunately I’ll have to try again because I bought a similar one, but the bad odour isn’t neutralised.

Very practical and pleasant natural litter for the cat, she doesn’t scatter it everywhere.

Lately, it gives off dust

I've always used this litter and been really happy with it, but lately it's been giving off loads of dust. Even when I scoop it, I end up coughing from all the dust—imagine what it's like for the cats. I'm thinking about switching to a different one.

Brilliant

I've been using this litter for a few months now and honestly I don't regret it at all, it's really great. Plus, with a big bag I can fill five litter trays and still have some left over, so it's really good when you have several cats.

Dusty

The sand is very dusty, which is a shame because it goes a long way and clumps well.

Almost dust-free but clumping is mediocre

I previously used cat litter from Lidl and wanted a low-dust option. I'm very happy with this cat litter because it's quite low in dust and absorbs odours well. However, I'm unsure about the quality of its clumping. It does form clumps, but the pee clumps break apart when I try to clean the litter box. The pee stays fairly wet, which is annoying because it leaves small bits of litter behind that already contain pee. As a result, the litter needs to be replaced more often.

It's not the same product anymore.

We’ve been using this cat litter for years. Now it doesn’t clump like it should anymore and the litter smells worse.

The best

Our favourite: it lasts a long time, doesn’t leave dust everywhere (like the stone one), clumps well... Negatives: it sticks quite a bit—leaves marks and it’s a bit pricey.

Very dissatisfied, used to be better, doesn't clump properly.

The first ones we bought directly at Fressnapf were of higher quality.

Very good cat litter

Great cat litter, the cats are happy, it clumps nicely and smells like wood. The pieces used to be a bit bigger, so now they spread it around the flat more, but it's still good and much better than the original bentonite one.

Excellent!

I've been using this litter since 2011 and it allows me to avoid bad smells in the house because I can flush it down the toilet. It's odourless so it doesn't bother me, and it doesn't contain any toxic substances for my pets. Finally, it's clumping and absorbent.

Not recommended for cats with respiratory issues

It covers smells really well; Makes firm clumps, easy to remove from the litter; It's gentle on the paws, soft, my tomcat liked digging in it. The biggest downside, and the reason I'll stop using it, is that it leaves a lot of dust. My cat has respiratory issues, which came back shortly after I started using this litter. The dust bothered me too, so I had to wear a mask when cleaning/changing it; Another downside is that it spreads easily all over the house.

Clumping litter???

I bought this litter because it was supposed to be very low in dust. But that's really the only advantage! As for CLUMPING litter...???? Every clump falls apart as soon as you lift it out of the tray, or even just shake it a bit on the scoop to let the clean litter fall back into the tray. So better not to shake it and just throw everything in the bin. What a waste! Even my three cats prefer to use the other tray, which still has the "old" type in it. Never again!!!!!
