One of the worst
This has to be one of the worst litters i have ever used. It does not clump, and it trails all over because it sticks the the cats feet. I am trying all the clumping litters because the one i used for years is no longer available, most i have tried are horrible. This one is is the top 3 worst ones.

Extremely disappointing
Worse cat litter I've ever used. Cost us nearly £32 and was rubbish. Sticks to the cats paws, the carpets and any soft furnishings within a 10 mile radius! Doesn't absorb the smell nearly half as well as tigerino. Gutted I spent that much on it.

Cat’s best original cat’s litter
Be honest IT IS THE BEST. Maybe not in the price competition bet the quality and expectation wise - it is the BEST. Absorbs VERY WELL and no smell what so ever - just nice fresh wooden furniture smell - if it makes a séance.
Strongly recommend!!!

Life changer
I have had cats all my life and without doubt this is the best cat litter I have ever bought. IT DOES NOT SMELL! A little 2-3 minutes maintenance every day clearing out the poos and wees which have clumped up and then it’s fine. Just need to totally clean once a month. It’s unbelievable, highly recommended. I didn’t believe it until I tried it! Give it a go!

Long lasting, best clumping, worth every penny
I have a blind cat that has also has breathing difficulties, and does not need any dust; this is lightweight, dust free and lasts for a long time. Over 30 years, I have used many types, but now would not use another; this suits the other 3 cats as well and provides light not heavy odour control.
|
Definitely worth trying
Purchased this going by reviews, so happy I did as this is so much better than the wood pellets I had been using. No smell, No dust, and smaller pellets making it easier for the cats to use. Yes it is slightly more expensive, however, you actually use less so it lasts the same amount of time, if not longer than other brands.

The best
This is so far the best litter I've used. Yes it leaves mess around the tray, but not more than other litters. It does not smell and it is very easy to clean the tray.

Changed product?
Been buying this for over a year as it was the best clumping litter we tried. However the last 2 purchases something as definitely changed , it no longer properly clumps and falls to pieces? It also looks different , more fine and a darker colour? Gone from being 5 star to useless really! Such a shame too as it was our go to now to find a new one

Best cat litter
Best cat litter. Do not need to clean the tray. Just scoop the balls out
|
Perfect for us
After trying all different types I've finally realized its called cat best litter for a reason. I've got 4 indoor cats 1 xl litter and 2 large litter trays in my home I've been using this for a few months and wish I had found it sooner. It kinda turns to a jelly once they have done a wee and is easily removed. It works really well for us so would definitely recommend trying it out :)

good biodegradable product
From the comments it seems no one knows the implications that occur from flushing cat faeces down the toilet! (long story short - a parasite found in most cats intestines is now infecting mammals in the marine environment, like otters and causing them to become infertile. The only explantion scientists found is from us numptys flushing it down the loo. Think twice. Bin/bury it.
not bad 7/10.

Top Tier
Since day one my kitten has been using this & honestly has been the best Cat litter I had had, the reason because once she has used it the odour capture activates illuminating the smell straight away keep your house fresh 😌!
|
Light and messy
It is a good litter overall but very messy. It is odorless which is good. I particularly will not purchase anymore because it does stick to my cats fur as they are long haired. If you have short haired cats it should be fine.
|
The best I have tried...
I have an indoor cat, so I need a good litter. This is excellent at absorbing cat pee and covers the smells very well. Also clumps and flushes down the toilet well. I have tried many and this really is the best.
|
Worst litter I ever bought
They just break into smaller pieces when I scoop, you’ll never have a clean litter tray, not good at minimizing smell, leaves tracks around the toilet, my cat refuses to use the litter, he’d rather go outside to pee. I have to throw away the rest and go back to ever clean. Avoid!
|
Great cat litter
This is the best natural clumping cat litter we've tried. Very friendly on the paws and no dust in the air which is friendly to my lungs! Not the best at covering up smells of fresh poop, but then again you shouldn't leave them lying around for too long anyways, no cat wants to step into a dirty tray :) Once the clumps are removed then it's good as new again!

Excellent
Got this product hoping it does what it says, I'm completely overwhelmed, ok clumping, smell...non existent and straight to the loo. This the go to product I've been looking for
Economical
Been using this for eight years.
First year one 40l pack lasted the whole year. Removing deposits daily.
Now I have 2 cats and 4 litter trays. 40l’s lasts approximately 8 months.
Scooping daily.
It does track but my maincoon does have very hairy paws😻

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.

We are satisfied
It's true, this is our first pack, but we're happy with it. Our kitty used to do his business on paper towels, but he quickly took to this litter. It's good for keeping the litter box tidy every day and it does a great job masking odours.

The quality has gotten much worse
I used this for 7 years, but now I'm looking for an alternative. For the past year, the litter has been dustier, the clumps fall apart, and even a single one can break down in water into a sticky mess that's hard to remove and can clog the toilet. Now the cat litter is even causing respiratory problems, despite removing clumps immediately and cleaning regularly. Looks like someone decided to cut corners on quality and brought in ChatGPT to help with it.

It's true that it's more expensive than other litters, but for me it's worth it. It's perfect. It doesn't smell bad. My cat loves it. The dust doesn't get up her nose, since it doesn't release any.

Unfortunately..
I have to agree with the rather negative and disappointing comments. Since my last purchase, I've also noticed that the quality has changed. I can confirm the increased dust, the quick smell, and the crumbling of the clumps.

Gotten much worse
We used this litter for about 15 years and were always very satisfied, especially with how well it controlled odours. We had a 3-year "cat break" and have now ordered the litter again. After just one week, you can clearly smell the litter box in the flat. I'm massively disappointed.

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…

We've been using it for years
We've been using this cat litter for years, and it's the best we've tried. It doesn't make a mess like others, does a good job absorbing odours, and you can flush it down the toilet.

Used to be better
The litter used to be really good, but now the pieces have become smaller and drier, which creates more dust. My cat has had to cough more often because of this. I wish it would go back to how it was before. Until then, I'll have to find something else :(

Truly the best cat litter!
Over the years, I’ve searched for the best cat litter. Without chemical pellets or added scents, because cats are very sensitive to smells and things that aren’t natural. This litter absorbs pee well (and forms a big clump), so it’s really easy to clean. It’s also easy to tidy up around the litter box since it doesn’t have tiny pellets. The smell isn’t bothersome either. I can recommend it to everyone!

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.

Cat's Best Original cat litter
The litter is really good for my senior cats, for me it's the cheapest and lightweight. I don't recommend flushing it down the toilet because it takes a lot of water to do so. We need to save water.

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.

Clumps well and dust-free
I buy this litter because it clumps well and, most importantly, doesn’t raise any dust. Just a heads up: it expands when it gets wet or when the cat pees, so your kitty might get a fright at first, but they get used to it after a while. I love that Zooplus has the 17l pack, it saves me a good bit. Tip: get yourself a scoop for coarse grains so you don’t waste so much litter.
