I have a maine coon and because of his furry feet, the other litter types end up EVERYWHERE in the house! This one is okay as it doesn't spread, but it will degrade after the cat pees and has to be changed frequently to avoid the trace of degraded powder. I'm going to try Cat's Best Smart Pellets and compare!

I’m suuuuper happy with the product. My now 7-year-old buck used to always catapult the previous cat litter out of his hutch. Ever since I started using Cat’s Best Universal, he even sleeps in his hutch again from time to time. It smells nice, doesn’t create dust, and cleaning it is no hassle =) Plus, you can’t smell the urine anymore, and you can throw everything into the organic waste bin or onto the compost heap—perfect =)

Having used the Cat's Best Smart Pellets for a while, I thought I'd give this one a go instead (since it's half the price). Have to say, despite the larger sized pellets (which are great for stopping tracking with our long-haired cat), it's impossible to see where the cat has used the litter. It doesn't really clump at all, and the colour/texture is very similar when it has been used, so you end up having to empty half the litter tray whenever your cat does a pee. Shame!

The litter itself of a good quality, but too chunky for cats. The spoiled litter breaks up in powder, and it is difficult to clean up.

I can 100% recommend this product. We now have 8-week-old dwarf lop rabbits. We got them when they were 7 weeks old. The two of them immediately accepted the pellets in the rabbit toilet. The absorption capacity of the pellets is amazing. They soak up urine within seconds. And they completely eliminate the smell. Our rabbit toilet doesn’t smell of anything at all. Well, not entirely true – the pellets actually smell wonderfully of fresh wood :)).

My rabbits live indoors, and for the first time, I’ve noticed that the room doesn’t smell of urine even if I only clean the toilet on the second day. You don’t need to use too much of it. There’s nothing better! The only thing that bothers me is that one of my rabbits always eats one or two pellets when I’ve just refilled it.

Can be disposed of on the compost heap!

I accidentally bought it, for whatever reason. We usually use Nature Gold for our Birmans, which we’re happy with. The low price quickly becomes irrelevant, as you have to completely clean the litter boxes at least once a week – ideally twice – which is very different from what we’re used to with clumping litter. On top of that, the pellets are so large that the cats don’t even feel like covering their mess with the litter.

I have 2 Maine Coons who used to always carry the litter through the flat in their fur. If you change the universal litter regularly (for us about every 5-6 days), they only track a tiny bit out of the toilet. You only need to remove the clumps.

I can't understand why people leave negative reviews here because the litter doesn't clump – it's not clumping litter. The pellets absorb the urine and break down into sawdust. We use a sieve toilet. Once a day, we either shake it or stir it with a scoop, and the sawdust falls to the bottom. It smells pleasantly of wood. We don't have the problem with smelly piles because ours go to the toilet with clumping litter :-) All in all, I think it's great for the price.

Having read that our usual cat litter (Cat's Best Nature Gold / Smart Pellets) have been changed for the worse, I thought I'd try this litter instead as it was half the price and advertised for cats as well. It's definitely NOT made for cats. The pellets just seem to disintegrate into dust after our cats did their small business, hence leaving ugly tracking all over the house. I will go back our usual litter even though it's twice the price. Hopefully it's not as bad as people say it's become.

Very good litter, but not ideal if you have carpets in your flat, as you'll need to vacuum every day :) Though it might just be my cats—they love spreading everything around :D

Love this bedding. Perfect for small animals.

Super bedding for the rats' toilet. Our rats love this bedding for crumbling and actually only use this for peeing now. Very economical and we've reordered it many times.

So, I've ordered this bedding for the second time now, and it's absolutely great for my rabbits. I use it directly in their litter box, and it absorbs the pee really well. There's no smell, and it stays where it should. My bunny girl doesn't want anything else in her litter box either—she's very particular about that ;-). Plus, I don't have to worry if the rabbits accidentally eat a pellet; after all, it's just wood.

I usually use Cat's Best for long-haired cats to prevent my little tigers from spreading litter all over the flat, and I’m spoiled by its excellent clumping properties. Unfortunately, the universal litter doesn’t even come close to clumping as well. The clumps hold together until you scoop them or shake the litter tray, at which point they crumble into fine shavings, almost like sawdust. The odour control is very good, though! I’ll be switching back to the litter for long-haired cats!

I’m not sure if some of the previous reviewers have really looked into the topic of pellet litter. This pellet litter is not clumping litter. Furthermore, it must not be disposed of in the toilet; instead, you can either put it loose in the organic waste bin or, if you pour it into a bag, in the general waste bin. This pellet litter is also not suitable for regular litter boxes. OK, I agree that this should be mentioned as a note when ordering, as well as on the packaging or in the product description. In combination with a sieve litter box, for example, the Peewee "Eco Dome," this is the best litter I’ve ever had. Odour formation is practically non-existent, spreading around the house has completely stopped, and there’s no more dust either. The wood scent is very pleasant. We’ve tried various types of litter and find this to be fundamentally the best for our two Coonies.

I am so impressed with this & it is so versatile! I use it in my guinea pigs toilet trays where it absorbs any wetness & stops any smell. It has the added advantage of being quite heavy so it stops them knocking the trays over when they have a mad session of chasing around. I also use it in my chicken & duck runs placed under their water bowls to soak up the spills - thus keeping the cages dry. As if that wasn't enough it's also great for cats litter trays.

This litter is less suitable for cats as it doesn’t clump, making the cat litter box difficult to clean. However, it works brilliantly for small animals (in my case, dwarf rabbits)! It has hardly any smell, is very economical and lasts a long time. You don’t need to use much either, as it breaks down and naturally expands over time.

I wanted to buy the Universal Litter as a cheaper alternative to Cat's Best Gold. Wouldn't recommend it. It creates odour and doesn't stay compact.
