Not As Good As I Was Expecting

After using Classy Cat Litter for some time I read all of the positive reviews about this one and thought it would be good to try something different. We have 4 cats which are mainly indoor. Bitterly dissapointed - a real let down - more odours and dust wth the litter getting stuck in their paws and i find it all over the house! I am sticking with Classy Cat - an excellent litter all round - the hoover has never been used so much in 1 week.

not so good as we think

We found it a waist of our money to bad for us than. If you like wooden fiber than it's good but other wise than we are not advice to buy it. Try it your self and you know it............

Worst litter ever!!!

This has got to be the worst cat litter I have ever used. I bought a large bag thinking it would be great because of the many 5-star reviews & I was extremely disappointed! It does cover odor, but not as well as others I have used. My cats don't mind it, but they drag it EVERYWHERE!!! And get it stuck to their paws & bums more so than any other we have tried. I've never had a litter that's so messy! The bag has lasted awhile, so that's a plus. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone!!1

Horrible, horrible product !!!

I decide to buy this product, because my favorite litter was out of stock. Till I bought this product my experiments with buying new product was sucessful. Before I decided to buy this product I read most of reviews. Over 60 - five star super reviews. And BIG dissapointment. Before I start using this litter my house was lovely clean, now? Mess everywhere. Litter bits sticks everywhere, cat's spread bits allover my house. I foud this litter bits on the carpets, tiles, stairs even stick to my cats fur. I just can't understand how this product could get so many 5 star reviews? Why others users are so delighted when for me is real nightmer? I wouldn't buy again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Highly recommend: Extreme Classic Cat Litter Classy Cat Cat Litter

Comments on Cat's Best Cat Litter.

This is dreadful stuff. It gets caught up in the cats' claws and can be found in every part of the house. Mind you, the cats like it because they have great fun scratching up piles of it and spreading them in all directions. Nor is it particularly economical because it forms enormous damp clumps which have to be removed. Much as the cats will no doubt miss their fun, I am going back to Catsan.

The mess and the smell

I had been using cheap litter from from a value supermarket and an open litter tray for 1 adolescent cat. It wasn't too bad. Then I purchased a jumbo cat toilet from zooplus and some of this oko plus litter. Oh my god...after one use I was convinced my cat had gone to the loo on the carpet, because the smell was awful, I mean it couldn't have been any worse if he had done a poo on my lap. Granted it clumps and absorbs well, but does absolutely nothing for the smell. Perhaps my cat has more foul smelling poo than the other users, or something? Also it tracks everywhere despite having a grated catch tray at the exit of the toilet. It sticks to the paws, fur and every part of the the cat that touches it. I'm not surprised it got stuck in one user's cat's eye. My house is now a mesy smelly place. Fortunately my cat will always look to go outside to the loo before using the tray, but for a lot of people this isn't an option. My verdict..avoid and try something else.

didn't smell to help odor at all

one small kitten and daily scooping and the litter box had to be changed after 3 days...not convinced

This litter nearly killed my cat

do not use this litter, part of the litter got stuck in my cats eye. which resulted in an eye infection. which lead to sugery, during surgrey there were complications with the anaestetic and my cat nearly surcumbed to it. if i hadnt of tryed thi litter, my cat would never have nearly died. be warned!!!

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…

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.

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.

Terrible, it used to be great but now it's really bad and even more expensive

I used to use it over 5 years ago but I won’t buy it anymore. I’ve given it several chances and it just keeps getting more expensive and the quality is really poor. IT DOESN’T CLUMP AT ALL. I’m switching to another brand. Farewell, CATS BEST.

Getting worse every time

It used to be really good, but it's getting worse every time—they don't clump at all anymore, and on top of that, it's getting more and more expensive. I've given it several chances but it just keeps getting worse, I won't be buying it again.

Extremely poor quality

I was always satisfied with Catsbest cat litter. The last two batches I ordered in September 2026 are the worst quality litter I’ve ever received. I contacted customer service because of this. It doesn’t clump, even after hours, and spreads all over the litter box. I changed it three days ago and will have to replace it completely again in the next few days because the urine clumps are spreading everywhere and it’s starting to smell. Something really needs to be done about this.

I won't buy it again

It used to be good years ago, but now it's ridiculously expensive and the quality has dropped so much that it smells bad, doesn't clump, and turns to dust by the second day. My cats don't want it anymore and I'm not surprised. The whole house smells awful and that's another customer they've lost.

‘Clumping’ litter

A bit like porridge oats mixed with Portland cement. The clumping is just a mess.

Cat's Best Litter

I bought this litter on the recommendation of friends who use it and praised its quality a lot. Unfortunately, for me and my cats, it turned out to be a nightmare. The litter was tracked not only all over the bathroom but throughout the entire flat, even though I had a special mat in front of the litter box. It looks like oat flakes and even behaves similarly when it gets wet. It doesn’t clump; yes, it forms a ball, but it’s muddy. It sticks to the bottom of the litter box and falls apart when the cat digs in it. I do not recommend it.

Quality has dropped a lot

I've been using this litter for four years and was always happy with it. It used to clump well, lasted ages, kept the smell under control, and didn't create any dust. But now it just has an unpleasant smell, even if you sift the tray every day and add fresh litter. When you fill it up, it gets dusty, and the clumps fall apart when you sift them. After only a short time, the tray is more dust than litter. Unfortunately, I really can't recommend it anymore.

Quality suddenly dropped

Our first packs were really impressive. These days, we steer clear of it. Unfortunately, it absolutely reeks, makes a huge mess, and it doesn't clump anymore either. There are much better alternatives out there!

Declining quality

I've been using this litter for over 10 years. The last two bags, though, the quality has really gone downhill. The litter is darker now and much less absorbent. The clumps fall apart and dirty the rest of the clean litter, which makes it smell bad really quickly. Not great for automatic litter boxes. Time to look for an alternative.

It's not the same anymore

I’ve seen that other people have had the same experience as me. I bought it for two years, it was really excellent. For months now, it’s not the same anymore. It DOESN’T CLUMP anymore. As for the smell, unfortunately I’ll have to try again because I bought a similar one, but the bad odour isn’t neutralised.

Dusty

The sand is very dusty, which is a shame because it goes a long way and clumps well.

Very dissatisfied, used to be better, doesn't clump properly.

The first ones we bought directly at Fressnapf were of higher quality.

Clumping litter???

I bought this litter because it was supposed to be very low in dust. But that's really the only advantage! As for CLUMPING litter...???? Every clump falls apart as soon as you lift it out of the tray, or even just shake it a bit on the scoop to let the clean litter fall back into the tray. So better not to shake it and just throw everything in the bin. What a waste! Even my three cats prefer to use the other tray, which still has the "old" type in it. Never again!!!!!
