205 reviews forCat's Best Smart Pellets Cat litter

I used this litter for nearly four years. Then, in their infinite wisdom the makers decided to change the litter and rebrand it as ‘smart pellets’. WORST IDEA EVER. The litter is now incredibly dusty and breaks up very easily. The litter now turns to a hideous jelly when wet instead of clumping and it starts smelling whereas before it clumped brilliantly and almost had no odour. Sorry Cat’s Best, you’ve lost yourself a long standing customer here!!

Litter tends to be a trade-off - with good clumping they tend to be bad for tracking, and vice versa. I used Oko Plus for many years, and just lived with it everywhere! Tried this towards the end of my old boy's life when he had a bad paw, as I needed something dust-free that wouldn't stick. It's brilliant, I'm sticking with it for my new two! Virtually no tracking, the clumps are softer but can be scooped easily if left to harden a little first. Seems to be lasting well so far too, very happy!

heavy massive clumps cats didnt like it as to heavy to scratch in

Super litter!!!! My flat is finally free of stray bits, nothing sticks to their little paws. I'll only buy this from now on.

Doesn't smell, clumps perfectly, and absolutely nothing sticks to the paws. Simply brilliant!

Since Cat’s Best is back to how it used to be, we’re buying it again! We have two long-haired Nevas. The flat is finally litter-free again!

My primary criteria is non tracking and easy disposal. I have been using this product for a year now. I’m mostly happy with it, but the clumping is noticeablely not performing as well as it could. There is too much spreading and wastage. As soon as any pellet comes into contact with any moisture the pellet sticks to it , even if it’s dry . Rather then sticking as a clump, it just spreads wide across the bottom of the tray. Throwing so much away. Which for expensive litter is just not economical

Had hoped to stop tracking, but the pellets are proving too large, my cat will not use it for solids. She has used it for a wee, but dry pellets cling to the clump, making it cumbersome to deal with. Have gone back to Cats Best Sensitive, tracking a nuisance, but otherwise works well.

I've been using the product for over a year now, and my tomcats love it. With two large cats and a lot of business, the consumption is quite high. Still, I keep buying the product again and again. It clumps well and smells like wood.

Good absorbency, very economical.

We tried this for the anti-sticking feature but overall I think it hasn’t been a success and we’ll be switching back. Our kittens (short haired) struggle to bury their poo because of the large size of the pellets, this seems to upset them, possibly because inefficient burial means there’s a bit more of a smell. There may be a small improvement in the amount of scattering of cat litter stuck to kitten paws, but it’s really only marginal and I’m still having to clean up regularly. Shame really.

Forms compact clumps. The big business is neatly buried and easy to remove. Litter rarely ends up outside, but when it does, it's painful.

I've tried many cat litters, but this one is by far the best. It clumps well, doesn't smell, and doesn't get spread around the house.

My tomcat really likes this cat litter, and only a little gets carried out of the box. With a small mat in front of the litter tray, nothing ends up in the rest of the flat. Unfortunately, the size of the pellets has changed for the worse; they don't pass through the scoop as easily now. I feel like I need more litter than before, and it's become more expensive too. On top of that, there's no longer a bulk package available, which adds extra costs. I only keep buying it because my tomcat doesn't like any other litter.

The purple Cat's Best pellets are perfect for my two Birmans. Nothing sticks to their fur, there's hardly any litter scattered around the cat toilet, and there's no smell in the house (I ask every visitor). Once, I accidentally bought the red original... and ended up having to sweep the floor every day.

I really like the clumping, and the used litter no longer sticks to the edges like it does with the Classic litter. However, cleaning the litter box is quite challenging because the pellets are too large for the scoops. Sifting takes forever, and a lot of "good litter" still ends up in the bin. Perhaps the pellets could be made a bit smaller, or a suitable scoop could be offered? Then it would get full marks. So, I'm still on the lookout.

Finally, one that I don’t end up finding in bed or anywhere else. The other one, Cat’s Best, I found everywhere, and my flat looked like a giant litter box. I was supposed to send in a sample, but I ended up back in hospital again. For now, this will do. Wishing all readers a healthy New Year!

This litter is great at keeping odours to a minimum, and hardly any of it gets out of the tray. With a scoop that has large holes, it's super easy to clean and lasts a long time. Unfortunately, my two don't like doing their business in it... so sadly, it's not for us.

Having three house cats has always been messy, I have used Cat’s Best for years and been happy with it apart from the tracking...it gets everywhere! By the time I’ve hoovered the stairs and turned back round there is more there! Decided to try the smart pellets despite the price difference and I am not disappointed. Tracking is virtually non-exsistent especially as my cats have litter trays that they jump out of so it falls off them. I’m so pleased I changed and won’t be going back!

I can't understand the positive reviews. I've now tested the litter, and it fails completely. While it does absorb urine very well, the faeces remain on top. Cleaning the cat litter is a big downside. It's a real hassle to sift through it, even with a large scoop that has openings which are almost too big. Too much of the still usable litter ends up in the waste, making it not very efficient and therefore far too expensive!
