Really dissapointed. I’ve just forked out almost £60 for two bags of litter. Go to scoop out the first few clumps after being promised it clumps really well for the wee clumps to all fall apart. Totally dissapointed.

This litter certainly has values (no dust, a good odour control) but in my experience as a owner of 3 cats turned out a nightmare because I had it all around the house. Maybe it is too light but surely not the best litter I tried. I consider a benefit of the litter if it does not drive me crazy with clean it up all around.

Is this cat litter light dust

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.

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.

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.

I bought this litter on the strength of the rave reviews on this site but I think I must be using a different product! The clumping is poor & it's very hard to differentiate the parts saturated with moisture & the parts that are still dry. Also doesn't seem to stick to faeces so the smell isn't masked. I'm going to keep to Extreme Classic Cat Litter which is by far the best clumping litter I've found. Won't be buying Cat's Best again.

I tried this litter and my first impressions were very positive. Nice smell faintly of pine, so pure and clean and the litter clumps well. My cats did not like it at all. They "went" outside the litter tray which led my son to believe that the tray was dirty so each time he found an "accident" he changed the entire tray - we got through 40 litres in under 2 weeks! I changed to Extreme (sold on this site) cats loved it and no more accidents

For some time now, the litter has stopped clumping like it used to, so dirty bits of litter end up in the tray, which just makes the tray smell. Instead of a nicely clumped ball, you just get a mushy mess. I’ve been ordering this litter for years, but now I’m simply disappointed, and I probably won’t order it again.

The fact that you can flush it down the toilet doesn't make up for how dusty it is (to the point it makes you want to cough), how much it spreads around the flat (even with a short-haired cat, it ends up in the laundry), and how poorly it absorbs smells, especially from faeces. I'm only giving it a second star because at least the urine clumps together nicely.

It clumps the urine, the "rest" gets covered by the dust. After cleaning the toilet several times, the litter breaks down more and more... disappointed! And yes, dust settles like a fine blanket on everything around.

After years of using Benek Corn, I thought I'd give this another try. Well, I sure found out. We were away on holiday for a week. My regular cat sitter immediately told me that the clumps with urine fall apart straight away and are really hard to scoop. On top of that, I'm really glad I had robot vacuum cleaners running daily both upstairs and downstairs. Both are completely full of granules. Even in the attic, the stuff is everywhere. And our litter boxes are downstairs... Awful stuff. Back to Benek!

I don’t know what happened to this cat litter. I’ve been ordering it for 8 years, but the last few orders just aren’t the same as before. It doesn’t clump as well as it used to, the clumps fall apart. I thought maybe it was just one bad batch, but unfortunately it’s happened several times now and it’s still the same problem. I think I’ll go back to Corn Car. That one clumps much better, even though it’s dustier.

Much more economical than bentonite litter. With diarrhoea, it could have been hidden under less than 20 litres and it still would have stunk. Generally an unpleasant smell, and if you have to change all the litter so often, it's not really economical or cheaper than others. Biggest negative: the cats don't like it at all. Even my expert digger tends to run away. With my long-haired cat, the litter always got stuck in her fur, very uncomfortable. I could flush the poo down the toilet, which was practical. The litter spreads around the flat...

I've been using this for years. Yes, it does scatter, but that's the case with any other litter too. Still, it seems like something has changed in the formula lately. It doesn't clump nearly as well, so the whole tray gets 'contaminated', turns dark, and starts to smell quickly. I scoop several times a day, and I used to have to completely change the tray much less often. I could just keep topping it up because it clumped so nicely. It's a real shame because I haven't found an alternative yet!

Our kitten spreads these way-too-fine granules everywhere because they get stuck in everything. Not recommended...

The product itself is good, no complaints there. The 1 star is for the deliberate false claim about the volume. This is NOT 5 litres. If you're being generous, it's 2.5 litres at most.

At first, I was very pleased with Cat’s Best Original: it clumps well, controls odours, and the fact that it’s biodegradable was a real plus. However, after about a month, a lot of fine dust started to build up at the bottom of the tray. Every time I cleaned it, a lot of dust would rise, which made using it unpleasant. I clean the tray twice a day and wash it weekly, so I expected more consistent performance. Unfortunately, I won’t be buying it again.

I used to be so happy with this clumping litter and had been using it for years. Then suddenly, the whole house was covered in litter, and it kept sticking to my cats’ paws—they spent ages trying to get it off. I gave it another chance, but nothing changed. I’ve switched to a different litter now. Something in its formula must have changed.

Up until now, this was the best litter and my cats loved it, but with this last order you can really see the difference—the grains are different and much bigger. Right now I have two litter boxes: one with the old litter (the only one the cats want to use now) and the other with the new one, which they haven’t touched in days. Now what am I supposed to do with 40 litres of litter?

Half a year ago, this litter was really good – cheaper, clumped well, had a pleasant wood scent, and wasn’t dusty at all. The only downside was that my cat spread it everywhere. But three months ago, I ordered it again and it was terribly dusty, and my cat developed an allergy because of all the dust. I tried to sift the litter a bit, and the amount of dust that came out was shocking! I ordered another 40L pack, hoping maybe the previous one was just a bad batch. But that one was just as horribly dusty, so from now on I won’t be buying this litter anymore!

The litter smells more like dust, as if it’s been sitting somewhere musty for a while. It doesn’t have that fresh wood scent like it used to.

I bought the large 40L pack and the litter turned out to be more coarsely ground, so it doesn’t clump very well.

Even with the litter mat, the cat still manages to spread litter all over the flat – it’s a nightmare. We don’t have this problem with other types of litter.

Since I kept reading about how amazing this cat litter is and I’m currently having issues with my usual brand, I thought I’d give it a try. The smell is so overpowering, I barely wanted to go into my bathroom. My cats aren’t too keen on it either. What bothers me most is that it takes ages for a clump to form, and it’s also much dustier than I expected. I honestly can’t understand the hype around this product at all.

The litter has a terrible smell, it stinks like paint, you can smell it all over the house, it's awful, I have no idea how we're going to use it up... Clumping is poor, you either have to cover it with more litter to scoop anything, and at the bottom the litter sticks to the tray with urine.
