It's the best
After trying catsan, wood pellets and clay I have been looking for a clumping litter that is cleaner. Clay is so sticky and the urine spreads. Saw this and wondered if it really would be better. Ordered the 40l which was not much more expensive than the 9l clay clumping that only lasted a week. Arrived in 2 days and so far seems to be doing great. A few grains outside of litter box but that happens whatever I use. And lo and behold a mini mountain of wee! I'd upload a pic but can't see an option

Really is Cats Best
We wouldn't use anything else. At one time we had three cats who all used two litters trays in the house and there was never a "cat" small when using this litter.

Don't use anything else!
My cats have been using this for years and I can't think why some reviews don't rate it?!! Im fussy and so are my cats (4 of them) I've bought and tried many in the past and non come close. I always buy the 40L size which lasts ages, and I don't skimp on the amount put in the litter trays. There are plenty of litter products out there but this, in my opinion, can't be beaten. Try it !

I am so happy with this product!
Best cat litter ever!!! It is all what I was expecting from a cat litter! Biodegradable, clumping, flush and odour absorbing! It is just fantastic!!

Cat litter
Is this cat litter light dust

Where’ve you been all my life!!!
Brilliant! I have a multi cat household- semi longhair cats. I’ve used silica cat litter for years, but unable to order my usual- so gave this a try. One small 5l bag lasted for 1 week!!!! Sifted out & flushed the solids as required (no loo blockages!). Excellent Oder control, soft on the cats paws, no more tracking than any other litter, didn’t stick to their long fur. All of my cats used it. Highly recommend & I’m going to use this from now on.

Not the Best
When I opened the bag I was quite impressed, smell was like a sawmill, looked pleasant. But, Oh dear, don't buy if you have lots of hairy cats, it tracks everywhere :-( . The clumps are rather sticky gluey affairs, that break up easily. When a cat first poos on it, the smell is really enhanced, but it does work after a while, I am still searching for that perfect litter, and sadly, this isn't it :-(

No smell! Easy to clear
After trying out loads of different ones, cheap as well as expensive.. This is brilliant! The only times the smell comes out, is when the cat failed in her attempt to cover a stinky one.

Holds smells well, but tracks a lot
The litter hides the smell well but tracks a lot. I use a Modko Modkat and when I used Worlds Best I had zero tracking, but with Cats Best I keep finding it everywhere.
The large granules do not sift through the Litter Locker scoop and I pick up a lot of clean litter granules.
Its okay but I am going to stick to Worlds Best

Definitely not the best
Glad I was able to purchase a trial sized bag because this littler definitely isn't the best. Lots of unnecessary waste due to the large size of the litter itself. World's Best is superior at clumping and only the unclean litter is left in the scoop which makes it much better value for money. With Car's Best I'm throwing away a lot of perfectly good litter because it's too big to be filtered out by the scoop. I've also found that Cat's Best doesn't clump very well and there is a lot of urine seeping through to the bottom of the litter tray instead of being soaked up. Very disappointed after reading so many positive reviews.

Barely satisfactory
I have to say, I was really disappointed in this litter. Although it clumps, smells and looks ok it is not worth the full price of £3.99 for 5L. Luckily I bought it on offer. They were selling a maximum of 2 bags for £1 each.
I used to buy Wilko's own clumping litter which I stopped getting in favour of getting litter delivered to my home as carrying it home was difficult. This was my first attempt at finding a substitute.
The Wilko clumping litter works similarly but with two bonus features, it tracks a lot less than this and lasts longer! A 10L bag of wilko lasts a month for my one cat whereas 2 5L bags of this made it to just about 3 weeks. I should also point out that this bag is barely enough to get the desired depth in my small/medium sized litter box and as you start taking out the clumps you start to need the the second bag quick.
I might buy it again if I see it on offer as my cat was ok with it but never at full price. Its just not worth it.
Sadly this is not the litter I will be replacing the Wilko one with, but thankfully I also bought a bag of Biokat's Micro clumping litter with this, which I have very high hopes for.

Definitely not Cat's best!!
Same as other reviews, the clumps don't clump particularly well at all, some of the much cheaper clay ones knock spots off this fairy pricey one.
It also tracks everywhere, my poor kitten was trying to help by banging his feet on his tray for ages, but it still got walked through the entire house!
I'm glad I just tried the trial bag as whilst it works out more expensive per litre, it would have been a lot of money wasted on a bigger bag.

Doesn't Smell!
I have 2 Bengals who like a good poop once, usually twice a day (and for some reason only when I am around - they certainly tell me to sort their tray out that's for sure!)
I've been using a Te*co clumping litter... great value that it is, there is still a little ickle bit of a smell. Not that I'm to bothered about that - cats are cats and well, they have to poop and wee like us all. So I tried the trial to check it out and mixed it up as a layer on top of my cheapo lumping litter and bosh... no smell.. smells of err.. well cat litter without the cat sample so to speak.
Now this isn't the cheapest but with a lightish sprinkle on top of the cheaper super market stuff (it does ofc get mixed in with some boisterous cat scraping) and that fact I didn't need to change the whole lot for 10 days, I feel it's value.
Oh there is a bit of travel ish.. hardly concerning and no different to the other stuff. Like with all cats, just vacuum the area - job done.
So the outcome... yup I am going to buy a load more... but not use it exclusively but as a mix with my clay clumping supermarket brand

Cat's Best Oko Plus
I bought this because of the good reviews, but find
it expensive and extremely messy. The litter gets
everywhere and the clumps are like glue. I will go
back to the wood pellet litter. Obviously I am in
the minority, but - each to his own!

What a mess
I initially bought this and thought it was good, I then bought a 40l bag - oh my goodness, what an absolute mess - it gets everywhere. I've even bought a carpet sweeper as the vacuum cleaner was permanently in the conservatory. Yes it clumps well and hides odour, but to be honest, I won't be buying it again.

Biodegradable? Maybe. Compostable? No!
We've used Oko Plus for our two cats for two years now, and have been adding it to our compost bins in the garden with care - ie in mixed layers, not huge quantities at once. This used litter has NOT rotted down, contrary to how this product has been advertised. We are very disappointed at having now been forced to throw it out with the rubbish. I'll be taking this point up with the manufacturers. PS Otherwise, it's great...

Not the best
I thought I'd try this because of the great reviews but we have lots of cats and have found that this scatters all over the place. It's very good at soaking up urine and is a good all round litter but it's not as good as World's Best.

Does no longer do what it says on the packet
I have been using Oko Plus mainly for it's clumping properties. It also used to be quite economic. However, the last bag turned out to be less than satisfactory. It does no longer clump well, and clumps disintegrate easily. I will no longer buy it. I would also urge the maker to change the formula to the previous one.
What a disappointment!
