5l (approx. 2.25kg)
What a mistake
Tried trasioning from clay, rescue cat was used to wood at the sanctuary unfortunately by the time the tray was complete wood she refused to use it and decided the carpets were a better proposition the wood pellets are far too sharp, went back to clay and she resumed using the trays

Worst litter ever
The pieces are massive, this litter does not clump at all and amplifies the smell of the cat poop, it is really bad

10l (approx. 4.3kg)
Small pack was dusty
The smaller bag did not work well for our litter tray; it scattered and created more dust than expected.

Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)
Zooplus good. Product awful.
I’ve been using this litter for the past 15 years and recently got a new bag. It is a different colour (lighter sandy colour) and does not clump as well. My cats are covered in dust after use.
Really disappointing, so wonder if there has been to a change to the formula or if it is an issue with this batch.

Formula has changed and it’s not good
I’ve been using this product for about 15 years and it’s been consistently brilliant. I bought a new bag recently and the formula has changed. It’s a lighter colour & it barely clumps. SO disappointing, and now we’ll have the joy of trying to find a new product that works as well as the original.

lots of dust and travels everywhere
I have been using it for a while. It lasts for ages but my cat started sneezing a lot due the dust. It also goes everywhere even I have a mat

Cat litter
Worst cat litter ever, absolutely stinks and so messy, would 100% not recommend. Catsan is far superior
Changed formula
Had been using this for 4 years and it was fantastic. They’ve changed the formula and now it doesn’t clump and my cat refuses to use the litter tray.
Will be switching to another brand.

Sure, if you fancy hoovering 5x a day
...and still not be done. This litter gets wedged on my cat's paws and goes everywhere - floor, furniture, dining tables etc. That's with twice a day scooping the litterbox and a mat outside to catch stray litter. I haven't had more mess in my house ever. It's disgusting... I bought it on offer a month or two ago and I felt I had to finish it, but never again.
That's not the only problem btw - feeling the litter on my palms made me realise that it is fairly jaggy and not great for cat paws.

Has stopped clumping well
This is my usual litter and the last 20l bag clumps really poorly. I’m having to do full changes and so it’s less cost effective. It’s tracking even more than usual, I’m going to have to move onto something else.

Horrible not for me, price point good though.
This is the worse litter I have used. It was pleasant for the first day and was easy to hoover up any spilliage - but all down hill from there.
I love the idea of flushing and it was great, but even though I took all the clumps immediately I could literally smell this cat litter in my home, it would drift into every room and I could smell an undertone of urine.
When I could no longer take anymore I cleaned out the boxes entirely and after washing, the litter left a slug like residue.

Terrible
There is not a single good thing about this litter, we bought it because the tofu pellets were out of stock. Clumping is the worst I’ve seen, it’s all over my floor and sticks to our feet, it smells awful & it’s extremely dusty. Both my cats are black and after they use the litter their face is covered in dust.

Bad clumping ability
As said in title, the litter doesn’t form one big clump, but numerous tiny clumps which defies the point of getting clumping litter. Will never buy again
|
This litter is dusty
My cat starded to sneeze from this letter because it's very dusty. I would never recommend someone. I bought the big bag and I am so disappointed that I can't use it.
Changed formula no longer clumps
Used to be good why change it?

Changes ?
I’ve been using this cat litter for a few years, but lately, something is off. It starts smelling really quickly, much faster than before. At first, I thought the problem might be the litter box and even considered replacing it, but that didn’t help either. For now, I’ve ordered litter from five different brands to test them out because something just isn’t right.

No longer clumps
The most recent bag (bought around November 2024) doesn't clump properly. The area remains wet and when you go to scoop, it disintegrates all over the clean litter.

Product has changed!! Awful!!
I have used this litter for years but the formula has now changed and it is absolutely awful in every way! It doesn’t clump now so the urine soaks in every where and it doesn’t mask the smell of urine in anyway either! My sister had the same results too when she purchased it.
I wouldn’t buy it again even if it was half the price! Such a shame as it used to be a great product. Avoid!

Not recommended. It is not what it used to be
really disappointed with this product. I foster rescue cats & initially found this excellent, clumped really well, no mess & no smells. It's not cheap however it would last around 6 weeks (3-4 cats) so cost effective. Purchased a bag three weeks ago which has run out! It no longer clumps; leaves a wet sticky patty! sticks to scoop, tray, paws & gets all over the place. loads of lose dirty litter that is hard to get out. I don't know what's changed but it is poor quality! I do NOT recommend

Definitely changed for the worse
Typically I bought this when it was brilliant stuff. The very next bag I got was different and now it tracks everywhere and does not clump, it goes all slushy and sticks to the scoop and anything it touches.
I will say it still keeps the smells at bay but this will be my last bag unless they change it back.
