Quite good

We have two male cats and have been fairly pleased with this litter. It clumps well and is absorbent. It does track a little, but what litter doesn't. We love that it is easily flushable and seems to last very well. I'm moving on to try some different litters to see if I can find something with slightly better odour control, and possible something slightly finer. May well be back though.

Amazing litter, terrible tracking!!

I tried this litter after reading the great reviews. It really is amazing! It clumps instantly after being urinated on and forms perfect 'balls' which are easily scooped out and flushed down the loo. It has no smell and is of soft consistancy, nice for paws. It is very economical and you hardly need to clean out the tray. The only bad thing about this litter is that is tracks VERY VERY BADLY and i keep finding bits all over my couch etc. I'm now going to try the 'Gold' version of this litter.

Been using it for 2 years

Great litter the clumping is amazing and 1 bag seems to last ages. Easy to scoop out the clumps so no wastage. Some people say it masks the smell of poop but I wouldn't say it does, no urine smells though like I've noticed with some over litters. Its not to messy although it does get in my cats paws and she always shakes them as she come out of the tray. I use a litter mat which pretty much traps these lose bits. Tried other litters but this is still the best for us.

I'm converted!

I have three indoor rescue cats, two long haired, one short haired. They are all really fussy and I'd struggled to find a litter that all three would use without accidents next to the tray. Then I tried Oko Plus and it's fantastic! It's not as dusty as other litters I've tried, I like that it's ok to compost and being flushable has meant friends are happier when cat sitting for me. It is slightly more expensive than my old litter but it lasts longer so works out to around the same price. The cats have taken to it really well and since I started using it there have been no accidents outside the tray. There is no amonia/urine smell and when my cats bury their poop, no smell from that either (although I have one who have never mastered that trick so the whole house knows when she's been in the tray!) I haven't noticed it getting caught in their fur any more than other litters but the big drawback is the amount it tracks. Even with a litter mat I do get a far amount on the carpet outside the bathroom door but to be honest, the two minutes it takes to run the hoover round is a small price to pay for all the advantages.

I think no litter is perfect...

but this one comes very close. Yes the tracking/sticking to the paws and bum is quite bad (specially with my long hair cat which jumps over two mats when leaving the box, grrrrr!!!) but not unmanageable; it controls smells very well - changing my cat's diet, albeit due to renal problems, made a huge difference also - I can just scoop clumps (not hard as rock, but not mushy) and flush down the toilet; and to me the biggest advantage is that the dust is indeed minimal and it does not trigger my asthma as ALL of the clay and most of the paper based litters do.

Good, but ...

Plus points of Cats Best Oko Plus: 1. My 2 oriental type cats prefer this litter. 2. Natural product, non toxic, safe for my cats. 3. Masks odours very well and has a pleasant, natural woody/pine smell. 4. Clumps well and is easy to deal with. 5. Environmentally friendly and biodegradeable. Minus points of Cats Best Oko Plus: 1. Tracks a lot. Even though I have a large mat by the tray, I am sweeping up bits of cat litter two or three times a day and still finds bits on the carpet and sometimes even upstairs. 2. It is a bit dusty. 3. I find that it does not last anywhere near as long as the manufacturer states. I use a jumbo sized litter tray, which gives my cats room to turn around. It takes 5 litres of litter each time and I change the tray completely every 5 to 7 days. I have read other reviews which advise that you can save the litter after removing the clumps and put it back in the tray after cleaning, but personally, I don't and wouldn't do this. A 10 litre bag lasts my 2 cats a maximum of 2 weeks. I have recently tried the Cats Best Gold litter, which is in pellet form rather than chips, designed not to cling to the fur of long haired cats. I would also give that 4 stars. It does not track anywhere near as much as the original and is not so dusty and possibly lasts a day or so longer between complete changes as it does not break down so quickly, however, my cats don't seem to like the feel of it under their paws quite so much and we have much (noisy) raking in the litter tray and it is a little more expensive than the ordinary Cats Best Oko Plus. Overall, both are good, but have their advantages and drawbacks. You pays your money and you makes your choice.

Great litter but he does enjoy digging it result litter everywhere

The a mat helps a lot

Not perfect, but the best if you care about the environment

I have used Oku Plus for about a year. I agree with many of the negative comments - it can track a fair amount, it is not quite as economical as suggested and any poos do smell - but I like to be able to scoop up the well-formed clumps and periodically dispose of it in a way that will not add to landfill. I have a litter tray upstairs where I use other types of litter and I am amazed how much I have to put out each fortnight with the refuse. Personally I think it is quite an advantage if I can smell that one of my cats has done a poo. I can see that this would not be great if you are out all day, but as I am around it alerts me to go and clean out the tray. No, this litter is not perfect, but I love the 'natural' smell and the cats, particularly my kitten, love the softness.

Very nearly 5 stars :-)

Much more convenient than the non-clumping pelleted sawdust: just remove the lumps and replenish the box. Before reading the minor gripes, note that I've just ordered 2 more large bags. But not quite perfect: the particles of litter are very light and seem to stick to the cats' feet more than the pellets; there's a little more of the stuff scattered on the floor around the box. Also, like the pellets, tiny fragments of wet stuff are inevitably left behind to become a layer of dust in the litter and I'm still trying to work out how best to get the cats to pee in the dusty bits and use it up.

Very little smell

This litter is very good, there is very little smell from it but it does track everywhere. Really easy to use as you can just flush the used stuff down the loo - good value for money

Good, but a lot of dust!

This litter works well with my two BSH kittens. They seem to like the feel. Very convenient to use. Clumps very well. Traps smell? Yes, up to a point, but there's no magic in this world! I found that, my cats like me to put a lot of litter down before they would use it. Needs changing completely once every 7-10 days. Downside is that, there is a lot of dust with this litter, and I seem to be allergic to it. It tracks a fair bit as well, so I need to hover everyday.

Wonderful stuff, but tracks through house very badly.

This is the best litter I've used in 20 years - no smell, economical and FLUSHABLE, but it does track badly, and you need to hoover every day. On the plus side, you never throw any unsoiled litter away, just top it up. It seems expensive, I know, but 40l lasts my 3 indoor cats 8 weeks. £2.50 a week for 3 cats who never go out - wonderful value! I'm going to give Cat's Best a try as a friend tells me it's just as good as Okoplus, but, being in pellet form, hardly tracks at all.

Fantastic product

Quite new to looking after cats but I am very impressed with this product. Really economical, very good in terms of odour control, clumping and never had any complaints from my 2 bengals. Only reason for 4/5 rating is that I have hard flooring in the house and the cats manage to bring out some litter everytime which is a pain to clean up. I will try some alternatives and feedback how I get on! A very good product.

Best for Smell..or lack of...

I have tried every litter on the market and this one is the best if the smell factor is of ultimate importance.It also cleans economically and neatly. The ONLY fault I find with this otherwise perfect product , is it " tracks". It is very light and sticks to paws easily......which sends me mad! I live in a multi-cat (Ragdoll Breeding) household so everything is very exagerated.

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 :)

cat litter

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.

Have you changed something? I find them less absorbent now.

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.

Great practical litter

The packaging is easy to use and the material absorbs well. I’ve been using this version for a few weeks and I recommend it.
