Best Litter I've found.

This stuff is great! Really good at clumping and odour control. There is a slight issue with tracking but no more so than with any other fine-grain litter. Would definately recommend. The fact that you can flush the clumps or compost the litter makes it so easy to dispose of.

I can't believe you all like it!

This litter is the worst I've ever used as it requires constant attention. I thought that I'd swap from clay clumping litter for my growing Maine Coon kittens to a wood based one, eventually moving to the big litter pellets as they get to 6-8 months old. It doesn't clump too well (bits drop off as you gently scoop up clumps) and it's so small and light it tracks all over the kitchen, I have to sweep the floor regularly. The only plus over clay is it smells nicer. I really wasn't impressed and would not buy again.

The best I've used so far

Best clumping litter I've found. Makes it easy to scoop out - and flushing down the toilet is much easier than bagging and binning. In the summer this will avoid the dustbin being a no-go area due to smell. Can't understand the comments about clumps being too soft to take out. A standard scoop picks them up and the unused litter falls through the holes.

Reduced smells, good value, efficient delivery

Zooplus seems to have the best price for this litter that I have seen. I was delighted at the quick delivery. I ordered late one night and it arrived two mornings later at 7.30 am!What I really like about this litter is that it has a soft texture and once you have removed the bits, the remaining litter smells perfectly fresh. It smells a bit like semolina. It is now almost three weeks in a three cat household and I have not yet emptied the basic litter, although I keep topping it up. However it does not totally cover the immediate smell, and I am still being woken in the mornings by a certain fragrance wafting through the house....I very much like the concept that it can be flushed down the toilet,or put into the garden compost recycling bin. I suggest putingt only very small quantities down the toilet at a time. One evening I thought I had flushed it (maybe I hadn't) and in the morning there was this expanded sticky looking sludge at the bottom of the pan, under the water. I panicked a bit, and it took three flushes to get rid of it. As has often been said, the litter does track. The cats like using the litter and now rarely use the alternative litter tray which has coarse wood chip litter .

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!

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.
