Should have got this earlier!
This cat litter is the best, really. I wish I had discovered it years ago. It is light weight, totally absorbing, so quick and easy to deal with . No bad smells, just a light woody one. To top it all, the price of the 40L is great. Add some cat food or other cat related items to your order and you can have a free delivery. Amazing!!😻

No longer clumps
The most recent bag (bought around November 2024) doesn't clump properly. The area remains wet and when you go to scoop, it disintegrates all over the clean litter.

Brilliant
Best litter on the market and with Zooplus best price

Product has changed!! Awful!!
I have used this litter for years but the formula has now changed and it is absolutely awful in every way! It doesn’t clump now so the urine soaks in every where and it doesn’t mask the smell of urine in anyway either! My sister had the same results too when she purchased it.
I wouldn’t buy it again even if it was half the price! Such a shame as it used to be a great product. Avoid!

Not recommended. It is not what it used to be
really disappointed with this product. I foster rescue cats & initially found this excellent, clumped really well, no mess & no smells. It's not cheap however it would last around 6 weeks (3-4 cats) so cost effective. Purchased a bag three weeks ago which has run out! It no longer clumps; leaves a wet sticky patty! sticks to scoop, tray, paws & gets all over the place. loads of lose dirty litter that is hard to get out. I don't know what's changed but it is poor quality! I do NOT recommend

Best cat litter
Our cat has only wanted to use this litter for 11 years. Very efficient and effective.
Best cat litter
My 4 cats prefer this cat litter, easy to clean and no smells

Definitely changed for the worse
Typically I bought this when it was brilliant stuff. The very next bag I got was different and now it tracks everywhere and does not clump, it goes all slushy and sticks to the scoop and anything it touches.
I will say it still keeps the smells at bay but this will be my last bag unless they change it back.
Definately BEST!
After much trial - and error - this is the best cat litter. Easy to clean up and good odour control for me. Acceptable to my cat, who is not easy to please.

Terrible - bring back the old formula!
This litter used to be great, no complaints. However they have recently changed the formula and it is now terrible - does not clump at all so we are wasting it trying to get all the wet bits out, and it tracks all over the house. Will not be buying any more.

Best for Cat
Gets messy but it clumps up which is very easy to get rid of and it never smells.
|
Not as good as it was
It covers the odour well hence the stars. Used for over a year now and the quality not same, still not odour but the clumping is not round and compact as before. Now turns out as a mashy mud rather than the well form pieces. The litter is now more dusty and seam like stones before was softer. They should bring back the old formula.

Best Litter Ever
I've bought this product many time but the price on Zooplus is brilliant I have paid more for 30 l that Zooplus charge for 40 l .The reason I bought 20 l was because some feed back said it had changed I found it the same so I will buy 40 l in future.

Not the same
I have used this cat litter for years and was happy with it. Like other reviewers, I find formula has changed and it is now tracking everywhere. Find it on my sofa! Not buying any more.

Excellent cat litter
Good , any smell after . Clumpy enough.
|
it does it job
Been using for years with my sphynx, it does track but its absorbent and smells of wood chip, I personally love this. My cats are nakid so no fur to contend with, it flushes so its perfect for our household & trays
|
Formula has changed!
Bought this product before and it's always been great. However I think they've changed the formula as now the litter tracks everywhere, it's harder to clean out due to how fine the litter is and it doesn't hold smells.
Excellent product
Can't fault it, it's been our go-to litter brand for years. No smell, clumps up conveniently. Perfect.

BRING BACK OLD FORMULA
I’ve been using Cat’s best original for 4 years. Recently formula has changed for worst. It’s darker, pieces are hard like shredded wood pellet. Do not clump as good as old one and it is NOT FLUSHABLE anymore. It doesn’t dissolve. I’m very disappointed.
Horrible litter
It tracks really badly and doesn't clump well at all. It just goes slushy. I won't buy it again.

Superb
I've tried almost every type of cat litter, and for me and my cats, this one is the best. It's expensive, but it lasts quite a while.

We are satisfied
It's true, this is our first pack, but we're happy with it. Our kitty used to do his business on paper towels, but he quickly took to this litter. It's good for keeping the litter box tidy every day and it does a great job masking odours.

The quality has gotten much worse
I used this for 7 years, but now I'm looking for an alternative. For the past year, the litter has been dustier, the clumps fall apart, and even a single one can break down in water into a sticky mess that's hard to remove and can clog the toilet. Now the cat litter is even causing respiratory problems, despite removing clumps immediately and cleaning regularly. Looks like someone decided to cut corners on quality and brought in ChatGPT to help with it.

Perfect
It's true that it's more expensive than other litters, but for me it's worth it. It's perfect. It doesn't smell bad. My cat loves it. The dust doesn't get up her nose, since it doesn't release any.

Unfortunately..
I have to agree with the rather negative and disappointing comments. Since my last purchase, I've also noticed that the quality has changed. I can confirm the increased dust, the quick smell, and the crumbling of the clumps.

Gotten much worse
We used this litter for about 15 years and were always very satisfied, especially with how well it controlled odours. We had a 3-year "cat break" and have now ordered the litter again. After just one week, you can clearly smell the litter box in the flat. I'm massively disappointed.

Cats Best Original litter
I've been using it for 12 years, it used to be the best litter, but now it's a disaster, just dust, it's no longer granules like it used to be. I'll never buy it again!

Terrible drop in quality
Used to be the best cat litter, I bought it for over a dozen years, but for the past few months the quality has clearly dropped, and since September 2026 it’s just a disaster—different colour, different smell, loads of sharp bits that get stuck in my cat’s paws, it’s dusty, and it doesn’t clump. I made a complaint about one pack and big thumbs up to Zooplus for sorting it out, but unfortunately the problem keeps happening with the next deliveries. The smaller packs (ordered to try) are just as bad, unfortunately.

Cats Best Original litter
It used to be my favourite, but now it's not worth the price. It doesn't clump well and falls apart when you try to move it to the toilet. Clearly, the manufacturer tried to cut costs, but being stingy ends up costing you twice…

We've been using it for years
We've been using this cat litter for years, and it's the best we've tried. It doesn't make a mess like others, does a good job absorbing odours, and you can flush it down the toilet.

Used to be better
The litter used to be really good, but now the pieces have become smaller and drier, which creates more dust. My cat has had to cough more often because of this. I wish it would go back to how it was before. Until then, I'll have to find something else :(

Truly the best cat litter!
Over the years, I’ve searched for the best cat litter. Without chemical pellets or added scents, because cats are very sensitive to smells and things that aren’t natural. This litter absorbs pee well (and forms a big clump), so it’s really easy to clean. It’s also easy to tidy up around the litter box since it doesn’t have tiny pellets. The smell isn’t bothersome either. I can recommend it to everyone!

All my animals developed respiratory symptoms from it – dangerous
There were probably fungus spores in this bag. I bought it a while back when I still had some of the other one left, so we only started using it recently. But once we did, about a week later, first my smaller cat started sneezing and had watery eyes, then the bigger one started coughing badly. I changed all the litter to tofu because I thought it was just the dust... but there was a bed where this stuff was stuck, and when my dog sniffed it and immediately started choking, that's when I realised this must be the cause. Only a few litres are missing from the whole bag... I'm furious.

Cat's Best Original cat litter
The litter is really good for my senior cats, for me it's the cheapest and lightweight. I don't recommend flushing it down the toilet because it takes a lot of water to do so. We need to save water.

The quality dropped a lot since September (at least for the 40-litre)
It seems this is a new batch and they've made changes to the product, which has ended up making it one of the worst I've ever used.
Even its appearance has changed: it used to be light-coloured and yellowish, but now it's kind of grey.
The price had already gone up quite a bit, but we kept buying it because it was the best for what we needed it for. Unfortunately, with these latest changes, they've completely ruined it.

Clumps well and dust-free
I buy this litter because it clumps well and, most importantly, doesn’t raise any dust. Just a heads up: it expands when it gets wet or when the cat pees, so your kitty might get a fright at first, but they get used to it after a while. I love that Zooplus has the 17l pack, it saves me a good bit. Tip: get yourself a scoop for coarse grains so you don’t waste so much litter.
