Quality has deteriorated significantly.
Unfortunately, I can only agree with the others! The bedding is nowhere near as good as it used to be, far too coarse, and it no longer clumps properly. Sadly, I now have to buy a new bag every four weeks – it used to last three months. I’ll start looking for alternatives now!

Quality has really gone downhill.
I’ve tried every type of litter with my three indoor cats and years ago I settled on Cats Öko Best. I was super satisfied – very economical, no odour in the flat. Now, after being "cat-free" for 1 1/2 years, I immediately ordered the litter again for my new cat. Very disappointing. The quality has deteriorated, no clumping anymore, and a strong odour develops after a short time. Such a shame – I’ll have to look for a new litter. All the advantages this litter used to offer are no longer there.

Disappointed
I’ve always been very satisfied with the litter until now, but the last large bag was disappointing. The granules have become much larger, and the clumps fall apart just by looking at them. I’ve ordered another new bag to see if it’s the same again, but if it is, I’ll probably have to switch to a different litter.

Super happy!
I must admit, I was sceptical at first about whether the clumping would really work. But I have to say, everything is perfect. The litter doesn’t create any dust either. And it has another great side effect: it always smells pleasantly of fresh wood – really, always. It has never smelled of cat pee, sour, or anything else.
My cats are also very happy with it – just saying. ;o)

Avoid if you have a long haired cat
If you have a long hair cat or semi long hair cat avoid. Due to the light weight of the litter it will stick to the cats coat and slowly be dispersed throughout the house.
Smell is pleasant, and clumping is not bad, but this stuff tracks everywhere. Every time the cat uses the litter tray, wood chips are scattered all over the house. Based on other review's I didn't think it would be that bad. However the scale of the tracking means that we can't continue using it unless we vacuumed every day and swept after each use.

Once Cat's Best, always Cat's Best
We've been using this from the very beginning. Our Daisy took to it really well, and we're thrilled that it can be disposed of via the toilet!!! Brilliant product – highly recommended!

I’m not buying it again!
I completely agree with all the points in Armin63's review. My two cats and I were super satisfied with this litter for six years. UNTIL THE LAST BAG :-( What bothers me the most is the much higher consumption due to the coarse granules. I've now ordered "Tigerino Ecoverde." So far, it's as great as CBÖP was before the change. So, as a tip for everyone who's disappointed, give it a try.

Consistency
The litter has been very well received by my little cats – 6 months old. However, it is quite dusty. It would be nice to make the granules a bit thicker. Unfortunately, it also takes time to find the right litter scoop to remove the used litter from the cat litter box.

Sour smell and caution with toilet disposal
On the first day of use, my toilet got clogged straight away. I was curious to see if this would keep happening. You can only dispose of very small amounts at a time, and on the second day, my toilet was briefly clogged again, so I had to resort to using the toilet brush once more. Every day when I come home, I’m greeted by a sour smell, which I wasn’t used to with the bentonite litter. I just hope that disposing of it via the toilet is worth it and that it doesn’t lead to a serious blockage in the sewage system. I wanted to save on waste and bin bags and give my cats something other than bentonite.

What more could you ask for?
Excellent litter. It clumps, it flushes, it's well-priced, it's good for the environment, and our cats like it. What more could you ask for?

Best ever
Before finding this product I have tried all the other supermarket brands but to no avail. All of them smelt horrible after my cat used the tray. I found Oko Plus Cat Litter really good and smell free. Would recommend.

I’m thrilled.
I've been using this litter for about 3 months now (+/- a few weeks maybe), and I'm thrilled. After searching for a clumping litter that wouldn't scratch my laminate flooring if some happened to get out of the tray, I came across this one and have been completely impressed. Only the areas that are actually affected by moisture clump together, which makes it very economical. My guests only notice my cat when she draws attention to herself, as there's absolutely no smell. My cat also accepts the litter without any issues. I can only recommend this litter!

Warning! Quality has massively deteriorated!
I can only agree with the recent reviews.
I, too, am now completely disappointed with this litter.
For years, I’ve been buying this product and was thrilled with its quality.
It was extremely economical, and the clumping ability was nothing short of first-class.
When my cat relieved himself, I would find only a small, solid clump afterwards, looking like a little tennis ball, which was incredibly easy to remove.
The odour control was excellent as well.
You couldn’t smell anything – at most, a faint woody scent. And it didn’t produce any dust either.
The litter was so economical that a 20-litre bag lasted me three months (with one cat).
You only needed to top it up a little every few days, and that was it.
And now?
For some time, I’ve already noticed a decline in quality. The clumping ability has worsened, there’s more dust, and the odour control is now only average.
But the last delivery was absolutely appalling! I must have received a new batch. The manufacturer is really pushing their greed to the limit now.
The first thing I noticed was that it was quite dusty.
The negative impression continued with the "clumping ability." I’m putting it in quotation marks because you can no longer call it proper clumping.
Instead of small, solid clumps, I now get large, soft patches. The litter has completely lost its absorbency.
These patches don’t hold together either; they crumble and fall apart immediately when you try to remove them.
Naturally, this means that unused litter is also removed along with it. After just three weeks, I already need to buy more this time.
Previously, the 20-litre bag – I can’t stress this enough – lasted a full three months.
That says it all.
Now I have to buy new litter, but one thing is certain – this litter will never come into my house again! It no longer delivers what it promises. I can only hope that more consumers show the manufacturer the red card.

Rather disappointing
I was looking for litter that lasts a long time and is preferably made from plant fibres or wood. After reading many reviews, I decided to buy Cat's Best Öko Plus.
My cats accepted it straight away. Unfortunately, I find the litter all over the flat. I've never had so much scattered litter before, even with a mat in front of the litter box.
I couldn't notice any clumping at all. Such a shame. Completely fed up with constantly vacuuming or sweeping, I've now removed the litter and gone back to my old bentonite litter.

Back to the original.
The litter clumps very well, and the odour control is strong. Extremely practical for indoor cats on the 5th floor: individual clumps can be disposed of via the toilet. A small drawback: since the litter is very lightweight, it tends to get "carried out" of the litter box.
In the meantime, I tried another, cheaper litter (GreenCat), which can also be disposed of via the toilet. However, the clumping there is barely adequate, and odour control is virtually non-existent. So I quickly switched back to Cat's Best.

The litter in a different quality
I was always quite satisfied with the litter, even though it’s dusty and gets carried out of the toilet very easily. But today I received my new order, and the litter is much coarser and doesn’t clump as well as it used to. The new packaging also no longer mentions that the litter can be disposed of in the toilet. Such a shame, it has deteriorated significantly.

Good idea, but execution... meh.
The fact that you can throw the litter into the toilet is just brilliant. But: the litter is scattered everywhere, on the couch or in the bed – super annoying.
At first, I thought the wood scent was great, but after a week, it started to stink. Absolutely unacceptable.

Best litter ever, but.....
I’ve had cats for 30 years and plenty of experience with cat litter. This litter is the best ever, if it weren’t for the annoying scattering of pellets caused by the cats’ paws! On the positive side: it’s economical to use, the bags are lighter, and it’s absolutely dust-free!!! However, due to the constant scattering of pellets, I’m only giving it 4 stars.

Almost perfect, but...
I use Cat's Best alongside silica litter, and both definitely have their advantages. Cat's Best absorbs perfectly, is very convenient to dispose of via the toilet, and doesn’t allow any odour to develop. BUT – and here’s the catch. It’s EVERYWHERE in the flat. Really EVERYWHERE. The silica litter spreads at most within a 2-metre radius around the litter box, but Cat's Best somehow manages to make its way even into my bed. It sticks to paws and socks, and that’s honestly incredibly annoying. Still, in terms of comfort and cleaning, I think it’s unbeatable in the litter box. That’s why I’m still giving it 4 stars, even though I now have to vacuum even more often than I already did.

Due to the good reviews
Based on the many good reviews, I bought the large bag of Cat's Best Öko Plus. At first, I was quite satisfied, but my two British Shorthair tomcats love digging around in this lightweight litter, and even a mat and a carpet don't stop it from being spread all over the flat. On top of that, it creates an incredible amount of dust.
I have to vacuum the area twice a day, which I never had to do before with the cheaper bentonite litter.
