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.
Now a waste of money
What on earth has happened to this cat litter, it was the only one I was able to use that didn't track . Now it doesn't clump properly and I have the hoover out twice a day, as it is tracking everywhere and turning to sawdust full stop utter waste of money has anybody got a suggestion for an alternative for long haired cats that doesn't track?

Quality has dropped significantly.
We used to love and enjoy the old version of Best Gold for a long time – it was perfect! No smell, absolutely nothing stuck in the long fur of the cats, practically no litter around the house, and if there was, it was only right in front of the litter boxes.
Since the change with the new design, the litter is much smaller and more brittle. Now, some of it gets stuck in the fur and is immediately scattered all over the house!
Why ruin such a super perfect product so badly? Incomprehensible!

Used to be better.
After the quality of cb litter had significantly declined, I switched to this pellet litter. Until a few months ago, I was very satisfied with it. However, even here, the drop in quality can no longer be ignored. It’s dustier, the pellets are much smaller and crumble quickly. The clumps no longer hold together when removed, and the odour control is also no longer effective. The manufacturer seems to be resting on its reputation.

Cat's Best Nature Gold
I received a new delivery of the above-mentioned litter on 27/01/2018 and was delighted to find that the quality has returned to its former standard. The scent of wood is very pronounced, and the clumping works perfectly.

Quality issues
We always used to buy this litter with great pleasure. Surprisingly, the price has gone up massively, while the quality has gone down at the same time. Such a shame.

Quality has deteriorated significantly.
For ages, we've been using "Nature Gold" for our cats... Now the name has changed, and unfortunately, so has the quality: the bag now only contains small to tiny pellets and lots of dust – which means our Maine Coon cats end up spreading it all over the house, and it even gets stuck in their fur. The disappointment and frustration are huge!

New name, more money for worse quality
Since the name change, there’s no affordable bulk package anymore, and now it’s called "lightly clumping," which basically means the clumps fall apart straight away.
Unfortunately, it seems I’ll have to start looking for a different litter from another manufacturer.

Why has it changed??
Like other reviewers, I have ben using this product for some time (6 years). It was by far the best litter for long haired cats. The new 'rebranded litter" is so inferior. It doesn't clump properly anymore and turns to powder quickly which ends up tracking everywhere! I am desperately seeking a replacement!

Cat'sBest Nature Gold - Smart Pellets
We were convinced by "Nature Gold" and recommended it to others. "Smart Pellets" are not pellets but crumbs. Our Nevas spread it all over the flat. We'll look for an alternative. We definitely won't be buying Cat's Best again!

Super bedding
I’m absolutely thrilled that I can dispose of this litter in the toilet—it saves space in the bin and in the flat. For me, it’s the absolute top-notch litter, though unfortunately, it’s often sold out.

Quality has deteriorated significantly
We had only good experiences for years. However, the last two bags contained hardly any pellets, but rather crumbs and small pieces. As a result, the litter ends up being spread around the house again. I hope the next delivery is back to the usual standard.

New product
The new one is no longer comparable to the old one at all.
Unfortunately, it has become very bad for long-haired cats.

Optimal with Green Power
We have two long-haired cats and mix Best Nature (70%) with Green Power (30%) – this is by far the best solution for us. The smell is very well contained, you only need to completely replace it about every 3-4 weeks, the litter doesn’t spread much, and thanks to Green Power, the litter clumps brilliantly.

Why oh why.....
This product used to be the best in my opinion but I'm afraid like so many things nowadays it has been changed but not for the better. If you feel the need to offer a pellet litter could you not offer both and let us choose? Sorry but after years of use I won't be using it
Simply just got worse...
The NEW litter unfortunately can’t be compared to the old one anymore. The grains are almost as small as those of the eco version and, because they’re rougher, they naturally stick to the fur. The flat looks like a battlefield, and vacuuming is a daily chore. On top of that, the odour nuisance is much worse – even if the business is completely buried, it stinks until you clean it up. I’m extremely disappointed and definitely won’t be buying it again!

Cat's Best Nature Gold
Unfortunately, the "NEW" litter is no longer as good in quality as the conventional one. The litter is no longer as absorbent, and it hardly forms clumps anymore. Additionally, the bags tear easily at the handles but are still difficult to open. I also miss the double pack at a reasonable price – with a household of 4 cats, this really adds up. I hope the manufacturers take note of this and improve the quality and price again.

Why have you changed the product !
I have been using this litter for many years with no problems. However recently noticed there has been a change of packaging and also a change in the size of the pellets. I buy this product as I have 4 Longhaired Persians and they didn’t get stuck in the paws resulting in Little tracking. I have now noticed a steady stream of pellets making there way up the stair carpet. This litter is way more expensive than the normal Cats best and I am afraid I will have to look at an alternative.

Grain size :((((
After repeated orders and now even a name change from Gold to SMART PELLETS, the GRAIN SIZE HAS BECOME EVEN SMALLER. DOUBLE thick MINUS TO THE PRODUCER!!!
Now it’s almost just an Eco Plus litter, with both variants being spread all over the flat.

Unfortunately, it has gotten worse.
Since the product change, the litter has unfortunately become much worse. I had been using it for a long time out of conviction, but now I’ll be switching to another one. Poor clumping (everything falls apart, proper "slabs" on the bottom of the tray), bad odour control, dust, and above all, much higher consumption. The more affordable twin pack is no longer available either. Such a shame – a good product has been improved to death.
