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😻
Really good
We only used it for a short time but so far my experience is it clumps really well. The kittens started on some cheap clay litter coming from their breeder and that one didnt clump pee at all almost, kept falling apart which was frustrating and disgusting. This seem to clump the pee really well and hides their poo too so I am happy. Plus it is better for nature than clay litter.
Only negative it carries out of the litter box more but that I am ok with. I will look at littermats.
Ruby's favourite
Our cat loves this litter. A good price, and easy to keep clean.

Brilliant
Love this product, seems expensive but it lasts a good 10 weeks with 3 cats. Only thing is.... I find it all over the house . Very messy sticks to their paws .

it doesn't clump anylonger and it smells. It's changed
I dont know what happened to this but in the last year or so this does not clump anylonger. This was its main unique selling proposition and now its gone. Its just basic litter that starts to smell and you need to throw a lot when cleaning. it's not economical anylonger. They changed somth... its not worth the high price tag anylo her
Good cat litter but poor packaging
After trying different litters because of a fussy cat and I was fed up of all the dust from their previous cat litter. Cats best have been the winners for us for a few reasons: no dust at all, smells of pine wood, clumps a little but we are used to non clumping so we actually prefer the clumping. We also tried the comfort one and compared with the original which the original cats best holds the smell really well. The only downside is the packaging. Unfortunately our 40l bag had a hole in it.

Stinky New Kitten Nightmare Averted
We adopted two new beautiful kittens. My experience with cats was my parents and I remember the stinky litter box (and this scared me).
Following a bit of research, I tried this cat litter. Now, I won’t say it’s a pleasure to use (that would be weird) but this cat litter is amazing. Two months (daily scooping and three full changes in) no stink! Buy it!
Cats seem to like it
We usually use clay non clumping litter, but our cats were finding it too dusty and harsh in their paws. I wanted a litter that is gentle on paws, very little or no dust because of allergies and holds in the smell. Out of all the different kinds of litter Cats best came out… best! No matter what litter we get there’s always going to be tracking especially when you have 2 of 3 cats who like to wipe their paws after toileting. With litter mats under the box it reduces it. Definitely buying again.

Doesn't lump and attaches to the cat's paws making a lot of mess
Unfortunately the litter doesn't form lumps so it is impossible to clean the litter tray and the cat somehow spreads it all over the floor. I am very disappointed and will come back to using Benek which I and my cat love.
Leak
The litter came out before I open the delivery box. The litter pack got scratched in the middle, potentially by other the wet food boxes in the package. Because it’s a mega pack litter, it took me 20 minutes to clean up the mess.

Smart Cat Litter
Was a definite plus for me as my boys are very fussy about what litter they likes to use. I have given away so many partly used cat litter bags to my local cat rescue that they sent me a Christmascard! .
I came across this litter and thought I'd give it a try, wow an absolute game changer the boys now use the litterbox and it's a flushable, and totally biodegradable product
plus being able to flush it down the toilet made it a no brainer

Best litter out there though does track
I've tried lots of litters clay/ wood pellets, but this is arguably the best I've ever used, here's why.
Firstly it clumps absolutely fantastic. Each wee turns into one neat solid little lump. Remove put it down the toilet flush job's a good one.
Regarding poop, there is absolutely no waste because a scoop will sift everything
The litter also disguises any unpleasant smells really well. There are only two downsides to this litter. Expense and tracking but just get the hoover out
Cat’s Best Litter formula change?
This is the only litter we use for out two cats, received a new bag last week and the tracking is unbelievable! Has the formula changed? It is now a constant battle to keep on top of the litter scattered all over the house, I fear I’ll need to look at a different brand altogether as this is getting ridiculous! Very disappointed!

Great clumping litter but lot of tracking
Very good litter, clumping which doesn't require to empty it too often. Feels clean. Doesn't produce dust like gravel-based litter.
However this version has quite some tracking all over the place as it gets stuck in paws. Minor inconvenient.

Outstanding
I cannot recommend it more highly. Odourfree, clumps well, flushes down the loo, only need to replace once a week. Long haired Molly got smelly fur ball pellets stuck to her hind quarters at first, the vet showed me how to zzz them off with a cheap beard trimmer, easy peasy. Lasts for ages, outstanding value for money.

Not as Hoped.
Over the many years I have had cats this latest one rarely goes outside and doesn't use catflap. I have had her over 2 years and is about 7 now. I have used a well known brand of litter for this time however I was recommended "Cats Best litter as being much better. However I find it rarely clumps and all I scoop up is minute lumps that spread all over the tray. The litter seems to get caught up in her paws and find bits over the kitchen floor and the the stair carpet.

Great product but tracking is bad
We've stopped using this now as got fed up with the tracking! It's pretty bad for that but ticks all the other boxes in terms of flushable, odorless, clumps and lasts a really long time!
love it
Having always used cheap clumping cat litter, someone suggested I tried this. I love it, and the cats are happy enough to use it to! It clumps well, so very easy to pick up wet and solid stuff. It lasts so much longer than the cheap stuff to. Personally I wouldn't dream of putting it down a toilet as people say you can....not sure the water companies would agree with them. But I can find no fault with the product.

Excellent product
It absorbs pee really well and forms a nice clump.
It also does a great job with odours.
Excellent product.

No dust at all
I love this litter, and so do my pets. There's hardly any dust, but I've noticed that when I buy the same amount split into two bags, it's sandier and creates more dust.

Everything's fine
After reading the reviews, I went with another brand, but I came back and it turned out the reviews were lying. It clumps nicely, the cats like it, there are no problems with it, it doesn’t create dust, and it doesn’t hurt their paws.

Lower quality
I've been using this litter for 4 years, and it was the best quality-wise. I never even tried to compare the price because it suited my needs perfectly.
But the last two bags just aren't the same, it doesn't clump anymore, the litter just spreads everywhere. I'll give it another month, but unfortunately I'll have to give it up.
I have 5 cats -> 3 litter boxes, and cleaning has become more tiring and less efficient.

I'm disappointed with the cat litter
Hello, I've been using this cat litter for over 14 years. Since my last order, I'm really disappointed. The clumps are soaked all the way to the bottom. The clumps are way bigger than I've ever seen before. Obviously, a lot more litter is needed now. Has the product been changed or is it a production error with this batch?

Terrible
I've been using it for a long time, but lately it's just getting worse and worse. It creates a lot of dust, and the litter itself falls apart. I won't be buying it again. I'm really disappointed—I'm having the same issue with the food, it crumbles apart. I'm thinking of buying elsewhere. The quality leaves a lot to be desired.

Terrible!
What a terrible cat litter! It's incredibly dusty! My cat comes out of the litter box short of breath and coughing. The whole house is covered in a white haze. Whenever I scoop the box, a cloud of dust hangs in the air. I've tried many types of litter, but this one is by far the worst.

Worsened quality
The granules have changed to being big and sharp, so now my cats don’t like using the litter box filled with this litter anymore. Even when you step on it yourself, it’s really uncomfortable, so imagine how it feels for a cat’s paws. It’s a pity, because it used to be great.

Has gotten very bad
I've been using this litter for almost 10 years, but the last 3 batches have been a disaster. It smells terrible. I even contacted Cats Best to ask why, but they just said they hadn't changed anything. It's a shame they don't take this seriously.

Totally gone downhill
I've been using this cat litter since 2020, basically since I got my cats. It was recommended to me and I was absolutely thrilled with it. But for several weeks or even months now, I've noticed that it doesn't clump well at all, and the worst part for me is that it starts to smell bad really quickly!! I never had this problem with the litter before. It's such a shame because it's really hard to find a new, good litter.

Very practical, my cats like it
It's really practical for cleaning, since you can put the clumped pee straight into the toilet. After a few minutes, the pee dries and forms a ball, making it easy to remove. My two cats use it without any issues.

Change in composition?
I've been using this cat litter for over a year now for my three Maine Coons and I was always super happy with it. The new bag I ordered now is useless. All the clumps from the pee fall apart straight away when I scoop and end up scattered all over the litter box. Really annoying. I'd like to know if the formula has changed or if it's still the same and I just got unlucky with my 40-litre bag.

Disappointment
Years ago, this was good litter, but the problem is it isn’t anymore. The quality has dropped a lot, it doesn’t even clump or anything now. You’ve lost a customer who used to buy this litter for years, but I just can’t put up with it anymore. Not giving it another chance, it’s terrible, honestly don’t buy it. Anything is better than this.
