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.

Is better than supermarket ones
I definitely better than the one in supermarkets, no odor, is come together, no messy...I heard was even better before...
I will buy again unless is starting proven isn't worthy..
REALLY 5 STAR
Very little tracking and excellent clumping
drop of quality
used to like this litter a lot - natural, relatively affordable, not dusty. However, I noticed the quality has significantly dropped in my recent orders. It doesn't clump as nicely as before and sometimes clump so loosely that its un-scoop-able. Very disappointed.

Super pellets
Best I have tried for my cats ,less litter paddled everywhere which is a bonus and economical
|
Not bad, not great
Thought I would try something different, I usually get Greenwood’s plant fibre green clumping litter, and I much prefer Greenwood’s. This didn’t seem to clump quite as well as the Greenwood’s option, and I found it didn’t disguise the smell as well. Overall, it’s not bad & and it works but is a bit messy. Incase anyone is wondering if to try either!
Very good wood pellets.
Absorbs odours well, easy to use and little tracking.

Worth it!
I used to use Catsan but it made such a mess, since swapping to this my cats seem much more happier and theres less mess as its chunkier and it also smells more natural and absorbs well making it easy to dispose of!
|
Okay
Used this litter for ages and liked it, however the price has gone up so much!
It clumps well but does track a fair amount. I changed to the corn litter and am so much happier with it!
Good product but not worth the amount it costs.

Quality has changed
We've used this product for years, unfortunately in the last few months the product has changed and it's now terrible. The original smart pellets were fantastic, now we're stuck with not having any decent liter. I thought I was going a bit mad until I saw all the other reviews corroborating what I thought! It's now very dusty, small and poor quality.
|
Clumping to weak
Smart pellets work, almost no tracking at all but, and it is a big but;
-you pay for this smart clumping but the absorption is so slow making the urine go through to the bottom of the litter tray making pointless the clumping as it won't shape or bond in a way to scoop it out. I'm afraid the previous reviews are honest.

Very poor Quality
This cat litter used to be fabulous and although expensive I was happy to pay as if stopped my three long haired cats tracking litter through the house
Unfortunately now instead of the large well formed pellets this is now like messy powdery porridge
It’s a disaster sawdust everywhere and it’s now very poor at absorbing urine
Usually buy 6 bags at a time and everyone in last delivery is the same
What a waste of money

Product has changed
I've bought this cat litter for years and the product I received in January has a VERY steep decrease in quality. The pellets are sharper, smaller, darker and they fall apart easily/don't clump as well as they used too. My cat now tracks it throughout the house. This product is expensive but it always balanced out because I had to empty the whole tray less often. Now I'm emptying more frequently so I need to find a new product. I do not recommend this for long hair cats anymore :(

Very Poor
I have always loved Cat's Best but I decided to try the Smart Pellets thinking they would be better than the original Cats Best, however, I am very disappointed the clumps fall apart when scooping, no difference to the odour and does not live up to the high absorbency and odour-binding fibre technology.
I certainly will not be buying it again. CerCome on Cat's Best you can do better than this.
|
Quality not like it was
I have used this for a number of years, and previously used the original, however in recent months I’ve noticed sometimes I get a good bag but more increasingly it’s a much darker shade and loads of dust, plus the clumping just breaks apart. I’m going to have to look at alternatives.
|
Big drop in quality
I have been using this cat litter for years, and for a few months now I've observed a big drop in the quality of the product. The pellets are not as dense, as they used to be, therefore they break apart quite easily. It results in a lot of dust, and cats dragging the crumbs out when walking out of the litter box. Disappointing.
Buying something else starting this month.
|
Not as good as it used to be
I buy from zoo plus as it used to save me money. This has just jumped up £3 a bag, not worth the money as it tracks a lot more than it used to and sticks to my main coons fur
|
Not impressed
I switched to this litter from cats best original as it was very messy tracking everywhere, I'm not impressed at all, it supposed to block out odours and it didn't.I found I'm using a lot more litter, after scooping there's hardly any litter left in the litter box. The only good side to it is that it doesn't track like the original cats best litter. Won't be buying this again
|
Quality has deteriorated
I used to love these pellets. SO much better than the ordinary Cats Best so well worth the extra. I like clumping litter so there is very little choice in pellets. However, recently the litter has been more like dust. The pellets are very small and just disintegrate. I emailed Cats Best but never got a reply. Very disappointed.

Dose the job
Easy and great

Poor quality
I have used this litter for a while, since changing from the original, because it didn’t track or stick in their paws, but I’ve complained recently because the quality of the pellets is very poor almost like it’s the original bits but with lots of dust.
I had to sift it all before I could use it and lost almost half a bag. Won’t be buying again till it’s rectified. Now to my pick another one!!!

Excellent for long-haired cats
Especially for long-haired cats, it's an excellent product. Very little tracking. Absorbs moisture well. No litter box smell. Even with 5 cats (multiple trays). I've been using it for years and I'm happy with it.

Good litter
After years of using silica litter and months of persuading my cats to switch to a more "eco" version, I finally succeeded. The litter is accepted, absorbs well, and dissolves nicely in water (I leave it for 3-5 minutes before flushing). I recommend it!

No smell
It comes out of the box on the cats' paws, but you can put a mat down. It doesn't smell, it's only been three weeks and I have two cats and two litter boxes.
I like the product.

Good
They were great! But we noticed there are a lot of small pieces and it's sandy. It's a pity really, because now it's all over the floor, which wasn't the case before. Unfortunately, the quality has gotten worse and the price is high.

It's not what it used to be
I've been buying it for a long time because Sugus has asthma, and while looking for pellets with little dust, I found these. For years they've been great; I might find some dust at the bottom of the bag, but now there's dust from the very first time I pour it into the litter box. You can't lower the quality and keep the same price.

Very satisfied
Doesn't create dust, after a long search I finally found the right litter. My asthmatic cat has no more problems because it doesn't produce dust. Some gets carried out, but only very little. Suitable for long-haired cats.

best
We have two XXL Acaio litter boxes, placed in the old shower in the bathroom. It doesn't make dust, doesn't smell, absorbs well and most importantly – the cats don't track it around on their paws.

Decline in quality
I've been using this cat litter for many years. During this time, the price has skyrocketed and the quality has dropped significantly. On top of that, the quality is inconsistent—sometimes it's better, sometimes worse. For this price, they should really take care of the product's quality.

Best for cats
I've been using this litter for years. I ordered it again two weeks ago, but something has changed – it now looks like cardboard, and even when the cat does its business, it clumps together so much that it's almost impossible to sift with the scoop. If the next bags are like this too, I'll have to try a different litter.
It's a shame they've managed to ruin something that was so good.

Best litter ever!
After 14 years with my Izzy: for us, this is the best cat litter! We've tried a lot and, shocked by the government-induced inflation, saw how everything—especially in the pet sector—suddenly doubled in price! After using ultra litter and 'normal' clumping litter that spreads all over the flat (just one room) and gets stuck between the little toes, these wood pellets are simply THE BEST. Economical, the few little droppings are quickly swept away, no dust syndrome, no residue on the tiles. We're sticking with it!*

Excellent but too expensive
One of the best cat litters I've ever tried, maybe even the best. It doesn't smell, doesn't spread dust everywhere, lasts a long time, clumps well, and can be flushed down the toilet without any issues. I used to buy only this one, up until a few years ago. Now I only use it in my little mountain house, where I can't keep the litter box on the balcony. The price has shot up over the years to a ridiculous and unsustainable level. What a shame!

Watch out for the weight
Warning: 20L (as listed on the website) is actually 10kg (what I received). And if you choose the recommended option, be careful, you end up with 10L, so 5kg. Not very clear. Anyway, apart from that, good product.

Quality has really gone downhill
I've been using these pellets for many years, but lately the quality is so inconsistent that I sometimes have to check the bag to see if I actually got the right product! There's more dust than pellets, and it doesn't even clump anymore. It's so fine that I can't get the dirty litter out of the cat tray at all. So I end up having to change all the litter again, even though I only just replaced it!
