Good litter but a bit messy

I quite like the fact that you can flush it and it's biodegradable. My cats seem to like it ans it absorbs the smell more than I was expecting for a wooden base litter. The only downside is that it's so light you end up with litter everywhere in the house, it gets spread by the cat's paws and your shoes very easily.

good

The products its self are so good, but the trouble is only one of my kitten would use it, the other one would not use it, it crumb well, little track but I cove with. control the smell quite well.

litter

ok so be honest i was very excited about this litter at first.Have to be honest and fair play to this product, is natural and you can flush it love it, cover odors very well even my cats have very little stinky poops ( raw feed ), clumps well but by mistake of one of my cats whisch love to mess about so if i am not quick enough clump is not clump anymore so take it out is more difficult.but as i said not fault of litter.so overally great but tracking is just NIGHTMARE.

Good all round product

Have been using this litter for 3 cats for the past 3 years. It does track easily, but it is one of the best litters I have tried. Clumps can easily be removed, even the small ones. I shake the litter box which brings the smaller clumps to the surface which are then removed. If the litter is allowed to stand in the box too long then it does become powdery at the base, but I completely empty the box regularly, by letting the litter level reduce over a few days, then the base dust can be removed. I find the odour control is good.

Very good cat litter :)

I am going to carry on using Cat's Best Gold because my kitten prefers it but OKO PLUS is also really good, just a touch more tracking. Quite good value for such good product.

Good but not Fantastic

I have 4 indoor cats and switched to this litter a couple of months ago, because a lot of reviews said it was low dust, I’d hate to think what they would call a lot of dust because the dust is far worse than it was from the clay based litter I was using, you can see clouds of dust floating up and around the cats as they use the litter trays which makes me wonder what kind of effect its having on their lungs. Its odour disguising properties are fantastic (or at least it is unless you have a kitty that refuses point blank to bury his mess) it lasts for ages and the cats seem to love it, it tracks everywhere, the floor around the litter trays looks like an explosion in a cornflake factory.

Good Litter.....But Messy!

I have just purchased my first bag of this litter. Good points are reasonably priced, reduced odour, clumps well, biogegradable so you can dispose of down the toilet (careful not to put too much in toilet in one go)and kittens seem happy to use it. However, it is messy and my two kittens do leave a trail of it outside the box but all litters that I have used do this so this wouldn't stop me from purchasing more of Cats Best Oko. I would be happy to recommend this product.

Quite impressed!

Absorbent, long lasting, odour reducing, flushable and soft on my 5 month old kittens paws. I'm really happy with this litter, the fact that it flushes I love, nothing worse than going out to the bin 5 times a day with poop/pee bags when you live in a 3rd floor flat! And it really is absorbent, 1 pee = 1 solid ball, easy to scoop and leave behind clean litter so, the litter lasts well (so it's worth the price!) I also like that it's non-clay clumping as I wasn't fussed on using the clay litters. My only complaint is that it does track slightly, I find little bits of litter in the bathroom (where the litter box is), but I have tile flooring so it's easy to Hoover up with a handy hand held Hoover. Very rarely do I find any litter outside of the bathroom, so it's not that much of a problem.

Good but spreads around

It's a very good cat litter, clumps well, and doesn't smell too much but the litter does spread around, which is a bit annoying.

Excellent value for money

This has been a firm favourite of mine for years now. Excellent value for money when buying the large bags. Great odour control, easy to scoop out the clumps. The only reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the tracking (but with a litter mat outside the tray the worst of it gets caught). The "Gold" version of this litter doesn't track as much- but is more expensive (and I don't think worth the extra money).

very good but tracks badly

other wise i would have given it a very good. i will keep on with it though as it has no horrible smell, appears to last much longer than the sofisicat i used before.

BRILLIANT BUT...

Brilliant litter, ticks all the boxes but...does end up everywhere. Sadly I have had to stop using it. I just could not stand finding this litter in unlikely places ... if they could just make it a little heavier so that it does not trail as badly, this for us would be perfect. My cat has long fur, this should be taken into account, also his HUGE litter house has quite a low step out, so this also could be part of the problem.

pretty good stuff, best i've found

good for deep litter trays as it clumps but does end up everywhere!

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 :-)

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.

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 .

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!

Absorbent and flushable but oh! that tracking

I have tried most types of litter since my elderly cat became enforcably housebound; this one is good on absorbency, not bad at odour control, clumps well and - best of all - is flushable but.....due to its light weight it is the worst for tracking (even with the use of a special mat in front of the tray) that I have come across and can be found all over the house, necessitating vacuuming several times per day.

Very good

When I bought my 2 Birmans they were using this litter so I carried on with it. It is great as it hides smells, clumps well, is flushable and lasts ages! It would have 5 stars if the dust was reduced, my cats sneezed every time they came out of the litter box and I noticed it when I remove clumps daily. I swapped to the nature gold version of this litter as that has zero dust!

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.

Litter is okay, but poor product packaging

It's pretty good. It doesn't spread much, clumps well enough. My cat likes the red variant. The efficiency is a bit lower than I expected, but it's not bad. Just like someone mentioned below, I also received a torn package inside a box that looked fine on the outside. You really should secure your products better.

Tomcat doesn't accept it

I have two male cats. Merlin didn't accept it and instead did his business in the flat. Such a shame.

Super

We’re really happy with the litter – it clumps very well and lasts a long time, since you don’t have to empty the whole tray all the time. It does create a bit of dust, but it’s sooo much more pleasant than other types of litter we’ve used before. We’re very satisfied :)

Nice budget cat litter, clumps well but the downside is that it sticks to the cats' paws and gets tracked around the house.

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.

Decline in quality

Less clumping and more dusty, it gets everywhere in the flat, but always has a pleasant smell. The quality has gone down over time (especially with the larger packs of litter).

The best option I've found so far

It absorbs odours very well and clumps quite a lot, so it's easy to clean up urine. At first it might seem expensive, but if you keep the litter box clean, it lasts a long time, so in the end you actually save money. The only downside is that it's quite light and sticks to their paws, leaving bits around the house.

Good natural bedding

We've tried lots of natural litters and haven't found any that are completely convincing, but this one is among the better ones. Clumping and odour control are decent. We've had the best results when we mix this litter with a finer-grained one.

Not Quite Perfect Litter

I switched from bentonite litter to Cats Best because the bentonite litter was too heavy. My cat lady loves Cats Best. She buries her business really well and there’s no smell of cat toilet at all. I’m only giving 4 stars because it’s quite dusty. I always buy the big 40-litre bag for two litter boxes. When the bag is empty and there’s only a little litter left in the box, I throw out the remaining litter completely and refill with fresh litter.

Good value for money

I discovered this litter two years ago, in 2024, as a foster carer for an association, and so far I’m happy with it and so are my little ones. So I’ll keep ordering from you as long as your prices stay competitive and delivery times are respected.

Cat's Best Original

We chose this litter because of our sick cat, previously we used bentonite and then tofu litter. The tofu is really good but with 4 cats it’s just too expensive. With this litter, it costs half as much as the tofu. It clumps pretty well, but you shouldn’t scoop it out straight away because it falls apart—you need to wait for it to set properly. The smell is a bit odd but at least it doesn’t make dust. That was the main thing for us. The 40L bag is enough for 4 cats for a month.

Best I can find so far

I've tried different types of litters from Zooplus. I would say this one is still optimal considering everything. I used silicone for about 1–2 years, but then the smell of urine became too much too quickly. It's less dusty than some others. You can also flush it down the toilet, although I don't do that anymore now that I have 3 cats. I just take it to the waste bin in a small bag.

Sand... Wood... I don't know

I bought for the first time. I saw good reviews (up until the date I bought, there weren’t any of the bad ones that showed up in June). I bought it because we use cat litter pellets and they’re really expensive... Today I filled the litter boxes with this litter. I’m not sure if I made a good purchase. We bought the biggest bag and yes, there’s a lot of sawdust... For now, my cats used it, they peed... The pee clumped into perfect little balls. You have to put a good amount in the litter box, so far so good.

Cat's Best Litter

I have two cats and I've been using this litter for years now. It clumps well and doesn't smell bad. The only downside is that it sticks to their paws and I find it all over the house. However, in a short time the price has gone up by about 10 euros. I find that really absurd and unjustified, and I don't think I'll be buying it again.

Clumps very well

I think the litter is really good, the clumps don’t fall apart. The downside is that unfortunately it doesn’t bind odours and quite a bit of it doesn’t stay in the litter tray. Our cats don’t like the included Trinkfein.
