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.

Has deteriorated
The quality has really gone downhill; it doesn't clump properly anymore and is just crumbly now.

Top!
The cat litter is brilliant. It was recommended to us, we bought it and are completely satisfied. We've already recommended it to others as well – that's how good it is!

Very disappointed
After reading so many positive reviews, I was really excited to try this litter. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed.
After a while, it gets so dusty that my cats end up with their fur covered in dust particles after using it, and the surrounding furniture looks just as bad.
The odour control is far from ideal as well.

Cat's Best used to be good, but it just keeps getting worse!
For about 9 years, I’ve been a customer of Zooplus and have been buying the Cat's Best Original cat litter for almost as long. Until some time ago, I was very satisfied and enjoyed purchasing this litter. However, that’s no longer the case, as the quality has significantly deteriorated, as other customers have already mentioned. The litter is now extremely dusty and clumps very poorly. The current litter has nothing in common with its previous quality. Such a shame – now I’ll have to look for an alternative.

Profit Optimisation4
Looks damp, so the absorbency is worse.
After a complete replacement, the litter used to look spotless for at least a week, often longer (with daily cleaning), but now the dirty leftover crumbs catch the eye after just 2-3 days.
I'll be glad when I've used up the last of the "forties."

Profit optimisation
Unfortunately, I have to agree with the previous reviewers: the quality of this litter has become absolutely dreadful!
For many years, I was a passionate buyer of this litter, and my furry friends (3 cats, four litter boxes) were happy with it.
Sadly, that's now come to an end, and with great regret, I have to start looking for alternatives.
The changed packaging design and the switch from volume to weight measurements already hinted at trouble, but I initially thought it would just be a blow to the wallet...

Profit optimisation3
In the past, the lifespan of the litter felt "eternal" before you had to completely replace it, as even detached clumps would reconnect themselves. Nowadays, even "perfect clumps" (those that are still sufficiently embedded in litter on all sides, unlike urine at the edge) break apart as soon as you scoop them out. That never used to happen—back then, a clump was a clump, stable in itself and didn’t lose its substance in the scoop. The new clumps still look...

Profit Optimisation2
That all the positive qualities were "cut out" at the same time feels like a slap in the face.
This is profit optimisation without rhyme or reason, and the marketing department added the word "Original" to it—what a mockery!
- Worse odour control, although that's the least of my priorities
- Increased dust formation
- Absolute price has gone up depending on the package size
- Clumping effect only works in the toilet:

Quality has dropped
Been buying this stuff for nearly 2 years since Bob was a kitten. Originally it was amazing, clumps stuck together solidly and although it did track, it wasn't too much. But the last few months the quality has changed dramatically. Even Bob's small ping pong sized clumps fall apart when you get them out and the tracking is horrible, now the stuff gets everywhere. It is still decent at hiding smells hence the two stars but i'm trying to find alternatives now, which is such a shame.

Not what it used to be
We've used for years now and found it a great performer, and flushable too! However, the last couple of bags have been a let down as it now seems to be so dusty, tracks worse than it ever did and just doesn't clump particularly. We have finally decided to let it go and find an alternative product.

Best odour control, dust-free, but tracks everywhere
This is the best litter I've ever used for controlling odours. It's completely dust-free, which is great for keeping down the dusting chores. However, my two cats track it everywhere and they don't like stepping into it as much as fine clay clumping litters.

Quality is getting worse and worse!
I've been using this litter for many years.
Since last year, the quality has deteriorated unbelievably: the clumps fall apart and end up as tiny pieces throughout the litter (great for cleaning! 😡); after 2 weeks, there's more "dust" than litter in the tray, which then spreads all over the house – even my cat is annoyed by it!
I even informed the manufacturer's customer service about it. Clearly, they haven't changed anything about the clumping component!

Really great
I was looking for a cat litter that clumps and where the clumps don't break apart – and I’ve definitely found that with this litter. On top of that, the cat litter smells really pleasant!! So it’s truly recommendable.

Super bedding, but unfortunately it's gotten dustier.
I've been using this litter for years and, overall, I'm very satisfied. Some bags had slightly darker litter and were of better quality. Now it's very light again and, unfortunately, much dustier.

This litter used to be excellent thus I have used and recommended it for 12 years. However the last bag has litter in it of very poor quality: it no longer clumps and does not disguise the smell of cat urine any more. I am really disappointed with the drastic drop in quality

My cats like it.
Pro:
Natural product
Pleasant smell
(When cleaning the litter box, I didn’t encounter any bad odours – I actually thought it smelled like a forest)
Unfortunately, I had to switch the cat litter because it ended up scattered all over the flat.
