AI-generated summary based on reviews added by customers
Cat's Best Original cat litter has received mixed reviews. Many customers appreciate its excellent clumping ability and odour control, making it a favourite for years. However, recent changes in the formula have led to complaints about increased dustiness, poor clumping, and tracking issues. Despite these concerns, some users still find it economical and effective, highlighting its lightweight nature and pleasant woody scent. Overall, it's a product that has its ups and downs depending on individual preferences.
Not the best
clumps well, however, not very absorbent unless you deep fill the litter tray with this. My older cat (aged 14) is not very keen on this cat litter, doesn't seem to like to get it on his paws. Also, this cat litter gets all over the house! It is the worst one I have ever known for ending up all over the floor and being spread around the house via paws and feet!

litter stick on paws and bum so spread the pee everywhere. Clumps too soft.
I’m not happy at all. The litter does clump but it is so soft that if my cat goes for a second round with digging it will break and go all the litter box. It stick on my cat bum and on paws so as soon as she finishes and have the brilliant idea to jump on bed or sofa I’ll find the wet pieces of litter completely mashed on my furniture or floor when she seats. It holds the smell very well so at least a positive thing. I purchase it as much cheaper than catsan natural but not worth it.

Cat's Best Original
I have to admit, I never gave Cat's Best a chance because it's very expensive. Now I had to try it out as there was no alternative for my 4-week-old kittens. I tried Catsan Hygiene Litter, but they didn’t accept it. A breeder then recommended this to me. When it was mentioned, I thought, oh dear, not that. Since there was no alternative, I bought it, and what can I say? I’m both surprised and more than satisfied 😍. All 5 kittens accepted it immediately and are already using the litter box. Brilliant!

They have changed the product . - it's not BEST anymore, the cat litter is like powder & does not clump
This BEST cat litter used to be pretty good, but the last two bags are like powder, do not clump, stays wet, & I am forever sweeping up cat litter, it goes everywhere and now sticks to the cats paws. I won't be buying again, it's cheap rubbish. Now looking for an alternative cat litter.

In principle good - BUT
The inconsistent quality of this basically good cat litter is truly unbearable. Sometimes the clumping is excellent, then other times it falls apart as soon as you touch it!
For such an expensive product, I expect consistently good quality.

Quality difference
I discovered Cats Best about 15 years ago and was super satisfied with it, as were our cats. However, the same cats now refuse to use it and do their business outside, even freshly cleaned litter boxes with new litter are no longer used. The cleaning effort is enormous. We've since found an alternative. The uncleanliness stopped immediately, and everyone is happy again. We would have loved to stick with Cats Best.

Quality has deteriorated significantly
I've been using this cat litter for years. Once the current bag is empty, definitely not anymore. It used to be solid pellets that absorbed odours really well. Now, after a short time, it turns into a dusty powder that smells. Not ideal for a cat with asthma. But there are Smart Pellets from the same company. I'll give them a try, though they are, of course, more expensive.

Quality has declined
Unfortunately, the litter has drastically declined in quality. It's incredibly dusty, which has become a real problem for one of our cats, and the granularity is so fine that the clumps no longer form properly.

Cat litter
The Cat's Best Original cat litter absorbs urine really well and clumps together for easy removal. It has a neutral smell, doesn’t create dust, and, importantly for me, it’s not too heavy ;-)

Gotten worse
Doesn't clump as well anymore and gets carried through the entire flat despite dirt-trapping mats.
Value for money isn't right.

Smells and kicks up dust
The litter starts to smell quickly and is extremely dusty! I've never had a litter that was as dusty as this one. Moreover, it sticks to the paws and ends up all over the flat. The only good thing I can say is that it's very economical.

Disappointing and unacceptable!
After so many years, it seems the formula has changed – the litter is dusty and smells awful! I've used it for 9 years, but now I need to find something else.

Quality used to be better...
Unfortunately, the quality of the product has deteriorated significantly. It doesn't clump properly, the smell is no longer absorbed effectively, and it produces an excessive amount of dust.

Classy, but not outstanding 😉
This litter is, in my opinion, one of the better ones on the market. If you pay attention to the correct filling height and clean it regularly, it clumps well and absorbs odours effectively, with a pleasantly woody scent.
The spread of individual particles remains within tolerable limits. Unfortunately, it’s not completely dust-free, and after about two weeks, more and more dust accumulates, which becomes noticeably unpleasant.
Compared to cheaper plant-based litter, it’s really great, though there’s still room for improvement in terms of quality.

Cats Best Original
Clumps well and doesn’t get spread around the flat too much. It’s slightly dusty.

Unfortunately, very delicate.
Very fine, almost like sawdust in parts.
Not like it used to be anymore!

The quality has deteriorated significantly!
We've been using this litter for over 6 years now. We were always very satisfied with it, but for the past few months, that's no longer the case. The quality has dropped significantly. It hardly clumps anymore, and after less than 2 weeks, it turns into pure wood dust and has to be completely replaced. Really disappointing. Looks like we'll have to start looking for a different litter.

Unfortunately, not dust-free. :-(
We wanted to switch to a natural litter and decided on this one. Unfortunately, it’s not dust-free at all. It produces more dust than our previous bentonite litter. Because of this, our kitten keeps reverse sneezing, which is really unpleasant. Now we’re stuck with an opened 40-litre bag that we can’t use any further. On top of that, the clumps fall apart very easily. At least it’s low odour.

I can only agree with the others 😏
I find it really disappointing that the quality has dropped so much, because I used to be super satisfied with the litter. As others have already mentioned, it doesn’t clump properly anymore, which means you have to do a fiddly job picking out the leftovers – and with three cats, that gets really annoying over time 🙃. It’s also started to produce way too much dust. Oh well, I’m now looking for another alternative that can be disposed of in the toilet. Such a shame.

Does what it’s supposed to.
The litter dissolves really well in the toilet, and my cats like using it. At first, I thought I wouldn’t be able to use it because I have a lot of allergies (mainly dust, pollen, and grasses—anything with wood is usually bad), but it works for me. After a week, it does smell slightly. It doesn’t bother me, and apparently not my cats either, so still 5 stars.
