Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)
Great low-dust litter
I tried the larger bag in our home and it clumps well, is easy to scoop, and lasts a long time. My cat took to it immediately and there is little tracking.

Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)
Effective, but messy!
I have bought one 40L pack of this cat litter. It has lasted 2 and a half months for two indoor cats. The litter box gets refilled everyday 10 days. However, I have to hoover and sweep every day as a result! The tracking is really bad. The litter gets caught in their paws, and it spreads throughout the house. But in exchange for this, I am no longer having to buy cat litter every week. The clumping is 10/10. This helps the cat litter to last so long. I am going to buy another bag!

Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)
Best litter so far
I’ve been trying different litters , clumping , non-clumping and this one seems best so far . Occasionally sticks to cats paws for a while as we do find it on the sofas etc .

Mega Pack 40l (approx. 17.2kg)
Great but not the “original”
I have used this ever since I first got a cat, as has my daughter for her cats. Very little smell & clumps reasonably well. However we agree that it not the same as before. We could flush it down the toilet safely but now it doesn’t flush away but sits in the bowl. We are having to dispose of wet clumps in poo bags & put in the bin which defeats the object. It is still my preferred litter but I’m a little disappointed by the change.

Good enough that I plan to continue using
Overall I think this is a good product, it clumps really well and quickly, downsides are that it tracks everywhere (but that is to be expected) the only other issue is that due to being unscented the it is not the best at odour control, but if your cat is not fond of scented litters then this is a good choice.

Great litter
I've been using this litter for years and find it to be very good for odour control as well as the fact that it lasts ages. This large pack is convenient but the only thing I'd say lets it down is the packaging, which is paper, and although it has always arrived intact, could get damaged. Also, 17kg is quite difficult to carry on your own so it would be handy if there was a little handle at the top. Just a suggestion but otherwise very handy and good quality litter.

it does it job
Been using for years with my sphynx, it does track but its absorbent and smells of wood chip, I personally love this. My cats are nakid so no fur to contend with, it flushes so its perfect for our household & trays
Good litter, continuous price increases though...
This litter in my experience is better than the capstan natural one at reducing smell and longevity. HOWEVER, it's had 2 price increases (yes may be minimal as a total but it adds up) which is frustrating as it used to be a no-brainer to order, and I'm never sure when it's next going to go up in price.

Price cats best
Great cat litter using for 7 years but has got greatly over priced.

Great at concealing odour
Amazing cat litter with clumping, concealing the smell and how long litter lasts in the tray. I have one cat and only fully change the litter once a month, and top it up a bit after two weeks. I have never had a litter that conceals the smell so much. However it tracks EVERYWHERE! I don’t mind that too much but even with a litter mat it gets everywhere. It is also very very expensive. I would like to find a cheaper alternative that lasts as long and conceals the smell but without tracking.

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

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 .
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.

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.

3 cat household - Great in many ways
Overall better than biokat diamond since one of my cats always has diarrhoea. Clumps really well and there is minimal wastage. Smell is okay, not as nice as biokat, and I do find this tracks a lot more than biokat, but it really does manage diarrhoea amazingly, and it’s much friendlier on the environment :)

Clumps well, doesn’t smell, tracks like a bugger though
Used this litter for over 2 years now, it clumps really well (you’ve got to leave the pee a little bit so it can firm up), and doesn’t stink with regular scooping. Occasionally a bag will be a little dustier but it’s not a huge amount and has never been a problem.
My only problem is it tracks so much, but we’ve tried different brands and different textures and they all get out but this one tracks more in my opinion. Or perhaps my boy has sweaty sticky paws. We’ve got a mat to combat it now.

It’s ok
This litter is ok and I generally only buy it when the Greenwood’s litter bit of this is not in stock.
I started with this brand but once I found Greenwood’s I didn’t go back.
The difference to the Greenwood’s is it tracks more and the odour control is not as good.
This is a good second to the other brand and better than nothing!

Not Quite Perfect Litter
I switched from bentonite litter to Cats Best because the bentonite litter was too heavy. My cat lady loves Cats Best. She buries her business really well and there’s no smell of cat toilet at all. I’m only giving 4 stars because it’s quite dusty. I always buy the big 40-litre bag for two litter boxes. When the bag is empty and there’s only a little litter left in the box, I throw out the remaining litter completely and refill with fresh litter.

Good value for money
I discovered this litter two years ago, in 2024, as a foster carer for an association, and so far I’m happy with it and so are my little ones. So I’ll keep ordering from you as long as your prices stay competitive and delivery times are respected.

Cat's Best Original
We chose this litter because of our sick cat, previously we used bentonite and then tofu litter. The tofu is really good but with 4 cats it’s just too expensive. With this litter, it costs half as much as the tofu. It clumps pretty well, but you shouldn’t scoop it out straight away because it falls apart—you need to wait for it to set properly. The smell is a bit odd but at least it doesn’t make dust. That was the main thing for us. The 40L bag is enough for 4 cats for a month.

Best I can find so far
I've tried different types of litters from Zooplus. I would say this one is still optimal considering everything. I used silicone for about 1–2 years, but then the smell of urine became too much too quickly. It's less dusty than some others. You can also flush it down the toilet, although I don't do that anymore now that I have 3 cats. I just take it to the waste bin in a small bag.

Sand... Wood... I don't know
I bought for the first time. I saw good reviews (up until the date I bought, there weren’t any of the bad ones that showed up in June). I bought it because we use cat litter pellets and they’re really expensive... Today I filled the litter boxes with this litter. I’m not sure if I made a good purchase. We bought the biggest bag and yes, there’s a lot of sawdust... For now, my cats used it, they peed... The pee clumped into perfect little balls. You have to put a good amount in the litter box, so far so good.

Cat's Best Litter
I have two cats and I've been using this litter for years now. It clumps well and doesn't smell bad. The only downside is that it sticks to their paws and I find it all over the house. However, in a short time the price has gone up by about 10 euros. I find that really absurd and unjustified, and I don't think I'll be buying it again.

Cat litter
I’m very happy with this cat litter because it was recommended to me back then and my cats get on really well with it. Most importantly, it clumps very well and doesn’t smell bad either.

Few loose granules, and keeps odours at bay
Really great that it’s completely natural. I hardly find any loose granules around the tray, and it does a good job of blocking odours. The only downside is that it clumps a bit less well, so you go through a bag quite quickly.

I've been using Cat's Best for years
...wouldn’t want anything else – the only downside: the litter gets spread around the flat, but apart from that I’m very satisfied.

Clumps together really well
I needed to switch litter because the clay ones, with all that dust, were starting to give me allergies.
I've just started using this litter and so far I'm really happy with it. It doesn't give off any dust, smells really nice, and clumps brilliantly.
On the other hand, contrary to what people say, it does bother my cats' paws a bit. They're still getting used to the change. They're not too keen on it for now, but it's just a matter of getting used to it.

Gotten expensive
It’s a good cat litter, but almost 10 euros more expensive within 5 months.
I think I’ll start looking for another one.

Very good product
The product is top-notch and will stay that way in the future. However, I won’t be ordering it again because one of the three bags was completely torn and you can imagine the mess that caused :-(
From now on, we’ll buy it in-store.

No smell and eco-friendly
I have been using it for a long time. It covers the smell very well and you can flush it down the toilet.
The downside is that sometimes the pee doesn’t clump well (but it’s not terrible either), and since it’s very light, the floor gets covered with little pellets.

Best odor-controlling litter, but sadly very dusty
I have been using this litter for 5 years now and after trying other brands, I can definitely say it’s the best, even if it’s not perfect. It absorbs liquids and odors really well, and my apartment never smells unpleasantly of cat/litter/urine. I’ve had that problem with other brands before. The litter also lasts a long time – I get a lot of use out of it. The only downside is that it’s extremely dusty and makes everything around it dirty.

Very effective
Effective litter and neutralises urine odours. But... Once again, a very steep price increase in 6 months, from €14.39 to €17.19!!! That’s over a 19% increase!!!
