AI generated summary based on reviews added by customers
Cat's Best litter has been a favorite for its excellent clumping, odor control, and minimal tracking. Recently, however, users have noticed a decline in quality, with smaller, dustier pellets that crumble and don't clump as effectively, leading to more mess and odor. Despite this, some users still appreciate its odorless nature and ease of cleaning. Many are disappointed and considering switching brands, but others remain loyal due to past satisfaction.

Decline in clumping quality

Quality has really gone downhill, such a shame...
Unfortunately, this litter no longer clumps at all! Because of this, you end up throwing away much more litter than you otherwise would. My tomcat doesn’t want to pee on it anymore either and “sings” a long aria from the toilet first. He’s even peed next to it a few times. Looks like we’ll have to find something else.

Super litter – fewer crumbs than Öko Plus
Since I already consider clumping litter to be the best type of litter and have been using the lightweight, efficient, and low-dust Öko Plus for a long time, I recently discovered this one and I’m thrilled: The larger wood pellets rarely stick to the fur or get caught between the claws – and you can really see the difference in the house. It clumps almost as well as Öko Plus. The clumps are a bit larger, which makes it slightly less efficient.
The only downside: It’s also a bit more expensive.

I was surprised by the high consumption.
So, I examined and observed it closely. When absorbing liquid, the volume of the granules should increase significantly. But it barely does. The clumping seems more like the granules sticking together. The clumps break apart and feel sticky and slimy, like they’ve been mixed with wallpaper paste. This litter is no longer an option for me.

Change in grain size
If the grain size is reduced, that should definitely be mentioned!!!
Now it sticks to the paws again and gets flung out more easily :///
Let’s see how it is in a few weeks when I order again. Otherwise, that’s it for this product, unfortunately.

The mix makes it.
Pellets and Nature Plus mixed together make the best litter for long-haired cats.

Cat's Best Nature Gold Cat Litter
Bought for the first time and both my cats are taking to it very well. Very little litter around the cat tray. Very economical. No unpleasant smells. I'm thrilled!

Not as good as it used to be...... Why?
I have used this litter for a very long time. After having tried many, many different litters, this one was without doubt the best of them all. Pricier than some, much better than the tiny granules of other clumping litters. I have recommended it to so many people. It is with great disappointment that it seems something has changed . Although still good at odour control and tracking , it does not clump anywhere near as well as it used to. Where I used to easily be able to take the clumps out, now it crumbles and you spend ages trying to remove the left over bits. Please whatever you have changed, change it back to how it used to be.... I am almost getting to the point of looking at other litters 😞

Perfect for long-haired cats!
After every trip to the loo, we used to end up with half the flat sprinkled with conventional litter and often found clumps stuck in the long fur of our cats. So, I started looking for a new type of litter and found this one. Of course, there’s still a bit of mess, but it’s nothing compared to fine litter. The clumping effect is excellent, and cleaning with a scoop with large holes is completely hassle-free. Odour control is top-notch, and it’s an entirely natural litter. Wouldn’t use anything else now!

It has changed for the worse
I have been buying this litter for several years, it USED to be good, clumped well, firm pellets that would just roll along the floor and easy to sweep up. It became 'out of stock' a few months ago and when it came back I bought it again.
It has changed, it dissolves into a mush in the tray, has much less clumping ability and the patches of wet litter just fall apart on the scoop.
It is much more like sawdust and the quality is as poor as the OKO Plus which is now absolute rubbish.

Perfect for sick cats!
I have a cat with diabetes, and due to the illness, he has developed neuropathy, meaning he has almost no feeling in his hind legs and ends up stepping in his own urine when covering it up. With this litter, nothing sticks to his paws like it does with regular clumping litter! Plus, you can remove 80% of it. Sure, it doesn’t clump as well as fine clumping litter, but in return, very little litter gets spread around the flat/house. My other healthy cat, however, doesn’t like this litter at all – it’s probably too “coarse” for her. She has her own toilet with fine sand litter (I have 4 litter boxes for 2 cats). But for sick cats, it’s absolutely perfect!!!

No longer clumps and the cats suddenly refuse it.
I've noticed for quite some time now that it completely crumbles, meaning you end up throwing away quite a lot of "clean" litter when cleaning the cat litter box.
After using CatsBest for years, however, our cats suddenly started refusing it. They began peeing in front of the toilet.
New litter – problem solved.
A shame considering the price :(

The best litter on the market
The litter is top-notch. It clumps really well. It doesn’t create dust. And the best part: there’s no sharp odour developing in the cat litter box. The large pellets don’t stick to the fur or paws, so they hardly end up around the house. It easily lasts 1–2 months before the entire box needs to be cleaned and the litter replaced (with 2 cats that eat both wet and dry food). Very economical, and the price is fair too. For the cats, the litter is very pleasant and well-tolerated thanks to the natural, odourless product.

Very little tracking and dust
After trying numerous cat litters, I found this to be by the best for minimal tracking and dust whilst being effective at clumping. World's Best is better at clumping but only because there is more dust to help with the process and I'd rather not have the dust blowing around and my cat sneezing!

a high consumption
Advantages:
Lightweight organic litter, pleasant smell, good clumping, doesn’t spread all over the flat.
Disadvantages:
Very large, not all furry friends like it, an insanely high litter consumption! Almost double the amount.

Very good acceptance
We've been using it for years.
It's very well received.
It clumps excellently, controls odours, doesn't create dust, and is hardly spread around via fur and paws.

The Best
For all long-haired cats, I think there’s nothing better – it doesn’t get stuck in the fur and hardly anything gets carried out. Doesn’t create dust and has a pleasant woody scent. Absolutely thumbs up!!

Unfortunately, not for us. The litter is too coarse.
We decided to test it out by filling just one of our three litter boxes with it. Luckily! Only one of our two kitty ladies uses it.
In terms of smell, as expected from the brand, there’s nothing to complain about with the litter, but the clumping isn’t great because the litter is too coarse. It’s hard to scoop (or sift), and the LitterLocker fills up quickly as a result. Such a shame!

The best for long-haired cats
Excellent for me and my Norwegian Forest Cat.

Top product
Unlike the sister product, this one is just a tad better because it doesn’t create such a heavy dust cloud when your furry friend digs around energetically. Our "Fuzzy" used to start sneezing terribly in his box with the Cats Best Nature, but ever since we switched to the "Gold", that’s stopped. Great litter, eco-friendly, easy to keep clean – absolutely brilliant all around.

Change it back!
This used to be the best litter for clumping, odour control, and tracking. I've used it for several years.
Whilst it is still great for odour control and tracking, the way this product has been made has clearly changed and it doesn't clump as well. This means it is no longer easy to remove from the litter box. Now trying out other products. I hope the manufacturer change the litter back to how it used to be, it is not longer good value for money or effective as a clumping litter.
