AI generated summary based on reviews added by customers
Customers appreciate this cat litter for its effective clumping and odour control, making it a long-time favorite for many. However, recent changes in formula have led to dissatisfaction, with complaints about reduced clumping, increased dust, and tracking issues. Despite these negatives, some users still find it economical and environmentally friendly, praising its lightweight nature and absorbency. Overall, while it has its drawbacks, the litter remains a popular choice for its original benefits.

Absolutely recommendable!
At the end of October, two Norwegian kittens (just under 4 months old at the time) moved in with me. They were used to a different type of litter from the breeder.
From the very first moment, they accepted the new litter and went about their business as usual. It is completely odourless (unless you stick your nose right up to it, then of course you can smell the woody scent – but who does that anyway?) and clumps wonderfully. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Easy and clean
Very good product, it takes a little while to clump which is only a problem because my cats all decide they want to go at the same time, but if left a little while utter does clump well, and stays clean smelling. The light colour means you can easily see what needs removing.

Best buy for me
With a sufficiently deep tray and a 99p litter scoop the need for a liner or a total litter change has been eliminated. Add in the phenomenal odour control and this product is, without any doubt, the most efficient and economical cat litter I have used.

Cats Best Original
I’ve been using this cat litter for years as well, and unfortunately, I have to agree with the negative reviews. Since around April, the litter has been extremely dusty and crumbles into small pieces. Everything gets completely covered in dust. You can’t really call it clumping litter anymore. Such a shame. I’ll have to look for a different one too.

Doesn't serve its purpose
It doesn’t clump at all and isn’t even slightly odour-absorbing. On top of that, the pellets are very light and end up flying all over the flat straight away. I’m extremely dissatisfied and won’t be buying it again.

:(
Unfortunately, my kittens don't use it. They only go to the other litter box, which has a different type of litter in it.

Quality has declined.
Was always quite satisfied... But it's been dusting more than before for months now, which ends up settling in the kittens' airways... That's unfortunately not so great. I think I'll switch... SUCH A SHAME.
Price-performance ratio doesn't fit anymore :-(

Formula change a disaster
Please, please, please bring back the old formula! Whatever you've done just doesn't work! I fetched an old bag of litter from my parents (whose cats now toilet outside) and it may as well be a completely different product! The new stuff just doesn't clump at all and tracks everywhere. It's so dusty all the cats sneeze when they come out the tray.

Not like it used to be
The litter used to be the best for me.
Now it’s terribly dusty and doesn’t clump as well anymore, so I’ve switched to a different "eco" litter. Such a shame...

Dusts much less than other litter
You can't smell anything anymore, it's extremely light and very low in dust. And on top of that, it's compostable – the best!

Quality has deteriorated
I have to agree with the others. I've been using Cat's Best for many years and was always satisfied, but over the past three months, the quality has dropped drastically. Not only does it create more dust than before, but when it clumps, it falls apart and scatters into many small pieces across the clean litter. Most of the time, it just sticks to the bottom now.
Cat's Best itself claims that they haven't changed the quality. Looks like I'll have to start looking for a new litter.

Still top-notch
We’ve used it before and were very satisfied back then.
And today, we’re still just as happy with it, and both of our cats take to it really well.
It hardly creates any dust when filling. It binds the urine and odour effectively.
It’s very economical and even lasts longer than stated, despite daily scooping.

New but NOT improved
I have used this litter when I catsit for my daughters cats . I ordered a bag of ‘new and improved ‘ but as I had half a bag of the old formula I could easily compare the difference when I changed from one to the other . The new litter is dustier , it doesn’t clump anywhere near as well as the old litter and it is much stinkier. It is also brought out of the litter tray on the cats paws a lot more , I have always recommended this litter to other people but I can no longer say it is the best.

Recommended
It’s definitely better and lighter than bentonite litter. Eco-friendly and quick to dispose of in the toilet. No more unpleasant odours!!! No artificial fragrances and it doesn’t create dust.
I deducted one star because it’s quite pricey, and our Maine Coon carries quite a bit of it out despite the mat in front of the toilet. A vacuum cleaner quickly solves the problem.

They changed it!!
I've used this litter for years and even converted other cat parents over to it, it was great at holding smell and clumped well. I have breathing difficulties and there was no dust so it was perfect and I was willing to pay the price. And then they changed it. Now it is incredibly dusty, it tracks EVERYWHERE and doesn't hold the smells at all. The clumping isn't brilliant anymore, the pee just turns into a weird jelly mush unless you leave longer than you should. Now in search of a better brand!

Unfortunately, it has deteriorated.
I've been using this litter for quite a while now and have always been satisfied. Unfortunately, it's been extremely dusty for some time now. You can even tell where my cats have been just by looking at their dusty faces, so I guess I'll have to try a different product.

Top-notch bedding
Binds excellently!
Unpleasant odours are almost completely absorbed. That’s really great.
A 20-litre bag lasts me on average about 4-5 months with the base filling.
Never using another litter again!

Unsatisfactory
I can only agree with the recent comments. Most of the clumps fall apart immediately, leaving the urine in the toilet. As for the dust, it’s not a huge problem for me. But I’m definitely not impressed. Unfortunately.
