AI-generated summary based on reviews added by customers
Cat's Best litter has received praise for its excellent clumping and minimal tracking, keeping homes tidy and odour-free. However, recent changes have left some users disappointed, citing issues with dust, inconsistent clumping, and smaller, crumbling pellets. Despite these concerns, many still find it economical and effective, particularly for long-haired cats. Overall, while the product has seen a dip in quality, it remains a favourite for its cleanliness and ease of use.

Good for long-haired cats, but...
It crumbles apart quickly, which didn’t use to be the case. Unfortunately, the consumption is quite high, and you can barely make it through a month with one pack. For that price, the litter is just too expensive for me. While it doesn’t produce dust, you can still smell everything just like with other litters. The only positive point so far is that the litter hardly gets carried out and doesn’t stick to the fur. I’m disappointed and will probably have to look for something else.

Very good!
The litter was immediately and effortlessly accepted by my two furry friends. The best part is that it hardly gets tracked out of the toilet, as it doesn’t stick to their fur. My flat is finally litter-free :).
The clumping is excellent and easy to remove.

Fantastic Product (so far!)
I have only switched to this litter recently but, so far, I love it! I very nearly didn't buy it because of all the negative reviews, but I'm so glad I decided to try it for myself - it's amazing! Virtually no tracking, clumps brilliantly, no odour, and no dust! It's much more expensive than other brands of litter, but it's worth every penny in my mind. I was using the Oko Plus version before, which is great but is dusty & tracks really badly - this is SO much better!

Best for my cat
I have 3 cats. My ancient tabby lives in my bedroom. He seems to be a litter magnet and you can appreciate that I don't want to be walking on cat litter in bare feet. This is the first cat litter I have tried that didn't get all over the room including all over my bed. It doesn't clump as well as the ordinary Cat's Best which I use for my other 2 cats but as he is in my bedroom I remove the clumps twice a day and I haven't had any trouble with dust.

Excellent
After all this negative comments I wasn’t sure but I have decided to try it and it didn’t disappoint me! My ragdoll doesn’t drag the litter through whole bathroom anymore (I had to hover 3times a day). Clumping is ok this is a bit different structure of litter so just need 10/15mins to soak up and is doing the job, you can remove everything in one go without leaving anything inside. The best choice ever!

The best cat litter ever.
Clumps well, doesn’t smell, just has a simple wood scent. Hardly spreads out of the litter box and doesn’t create dust. I can only recommend it.

Finally found the best litter!
We’ve tried absolutely everything on the market for our three Siamese cats, and no litter was satisfactory. Either the litter stuck to their paws, leaving crumbs all over the house, or it just smelled unpleasant. But then we came across this litter and have been using it for 2 years now. There’s truly nothing better! The pellets stay where they’re supposed to, they smell nice, and they’re so easy to handle!

Good - but not as good as the original
Because the original litter (Öko Plus) suddenly dropped in quality and crumbled heavily, I switched to the pellets. Unfortunately, they’re not an alternative for me, as they form inconvenient clumps and my cat doesn’t like them. However, it’s good that the pellets don’t produce as much dust and aren’t carried out by my (long-haired) cat.

It used to be better.
I've been using this litter for a long time, but unfortunately, its quality has significantly declined. Please, Cats Best, go back to the old formula.

I can’t understand why Cat’s Best has made the change
I bought this as I could not find my usual Cat’s Best for long hair cats which I have used for years... unfortunately the quality is not up to the expectations, as this litter tracks everywhere in the house and it seem to have less odour control than the previous formula. I ‘m disappointed . I can’t understand why Cat’s Best has made the change!

Cat's Best Pellets
Used once, it covers a large area like concrete, and you can't even leave the litter in the toilet for a week. Honestly, it's a bit of an imposition for our furry friends! It does have one advantage: it doesn't stick to paws or fur, so less of it gets carried out of the toilet.

Very good
I use the pellets for my ferrets' litter boxes. They absorb well and don't smell unpleasant. I've been looking for a product like this for a long time.

Now Cat,s worst Nightmare more like
No longer does the job
Used this for years and always been happy with it.Not since it changed to Smart Pellets. It doesn't clump properly, is VERY dusty and is nowhere near as good as it used to be at anything that made it a selling point before the changes. Very disappointing, Lost this customer.

That used to be Cat's Best Gold.
So disappointing, over time not only the name but also the formula has been changed!! Negative developments:
- Beach effect, as the litter has become much lighter,
- Clumps very poorly – everything crumbles when removing it and spreads in the toilet,
- Recently it smells like a toilet – you have to buy fragrance/odour neutralisers to add to it.
The only advantage of this rather expensive litter is its good disposability via the household toilet.
Conclusion: No longer recommended!

Poor
Not sure why Zooplus are still selling this product. It is clearly inferior quality and the buying team should address otherwise overall custom will be lost

Falls apart a bit
Since the Cat's Best Original cat litter tends to crumble when sifting, I started looking for an alternative. I got this and the one from Greenwoods. CB sometimes crumbles; not all the pellets end up back in the tray when sifting because the pieces are too large. However, it spreads less around the house. Photos for comparison have been uploaded, provided they are approved.

Used this for ages and always been happy with it.Not since it changed to Smart Pellets. It doesn't clump properly, is very dusty and is nowhere near as good as it used to be at eliminating odours. Very disappointed.

Great cat litter
We have two Sacred Birmans. After trying out a few options, we decided on this litter. It has a pleasant, subtle woody scent. When the cats have been in the litter box, you can hardly smell anything. The litter doesn’t stick to their paws or fur. It clumps really well and is very economical. (We’ve repurposed a plastic under-bed storage box and fill it to about 15cm high)...
We’re really satisfied.

no good anymore
I had bought this last year to try, and it was great - clumped well, covered odours... when I bought a replacement, it was a totally different story.
It does not clump at all - each pellet just swells up a bit and breaks in half. Odour control is OK but why spend this much on something that doesn't do what it's supposed to??
