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.

No longer as good

I gave this litter five stars three years ago then it clumped better than any I had used in 50 plus years but something has changed as it is now no better than other cheaper products. The clump no longer sticks together but breaks up on removal into smaller bits.

Not clumping

As previous reviews, this is not as good as OKO plus.... no clumping takes place. It just breaks into a powder which you can only clean by emptying the whole lot out.

Review of all used litters

I have a creamy Persian cat. Throughout his 3 years with me I tried the following litters: - Applaws Nature's Calling: My favourite and best of all. Has a pleasant smell, traps odours well (but, have to admit, not so good as Cat's Best Oko Plus), clumps reliably and lasts long (I usually pour half of pack at once, so 2 packs of 6kg last for 1,5-2 months). It does track a bit though, but least of all the litters I've tried and sweeping/hoovering once or twice a week is enough. The only minus is that it colours my cat's creamy paws as it is dark brown. - Cat's Best Oko Plus: It traps odours very well, lasts for long (similar to Applaws) and has no issues with clumping. However, this is probably the worst tracking litter I had. I had to hoover/brush twice a day as little bits stick onto cat's paws and fur and is spread everywhere at home. I didn't even use all pack, switched back to Applaws. - Cat's Best Nature Gold: Tried once. The pellets are really large and this makes clumping not so effective. I bought it because it said that it does not stick to fur and is suitable for long haired cats. Well, those pellets did stick to my cat's fur and tracked a lot. Though it is environmentally friendly and eliminates smells for some time. But loose litter eventually becomes smelly and you have to change it. - Porta Pine Wood: Good cat litter, would rank it 2nd after Applaws. It smells fresh and is literally dust free, leaves no visible marks. It lasts long, great odour control, clumps well and my cat loved it. However, it tracks quite badly, but not as bad as Cat's Best Oko Plus. - Catsan Hygiene: Not good at all. Never bought again. Clumps stay wet for a long time making it difficult to remove from the box, and when they dry they glue to the box so that I had to scratch them off. Controls smell bad, tracks a bit and clumps of wet litter stick to the fur. It is dusty and caused runny eyes and sneezing to my Persian friend. - World's Best (Green and Red): Not good. Advised by vet after using Catsan Hygiene. It is dusty and didn't improve my cat's runny eyes much. It clumps very well, tracks a bit. Though it stinks horribly, probably because loose litter eventually starts smelling. Thus, no odour control. As such I do not remember it lasting long. - Tygerino Crystals Silicate: Used in an emergency when my order was late. Disliked bad smell. It also runs out quickly, one pack lasted for 3 days, tracks a bit.

I would try something else...

After the ok experience with the crystals i decided to try this for my two siberians in the attempt to go for something a bit more natural. I have tried it for more than a month now and i came to the conclusion that i would not buy this again. Firstly it leaves trail every time, which defeats the main point. Secondly it doesn't clump properly... the main clump is ok, but the grains are quite big, so if partially wet, they drop from the main clump and keep the wee in the litter. Also do not stick to poo at all, hence the smell can spread ... I have no idea how others can have such good experience really. I would not recommend it. I will try some finer litter next.

Disappointing

After reading the reviews on this product I thought I would give it a go. It's awful! It smells of sawdust, doesn't stop the cat odour from the tray and doesn't clump well enough to remove lumps. This will work out really expensive as I will have to change the tray completely after only 3 days! The other clumping litters at the high price end are far better - the tray only needs changing completely once a week. I'll be sticking with Extreme Classic from now on!

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.

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.

Sparpaket: 2 x 20 l

Quality varies

At first, I was really impressed with the cat litter. But for about a year now, the quality has been inconsistent—sometimes it's great, but other times it's poor because I often receive almost only sand instead of pellets.

Smart pellet cat litter.

Too small and very crumbly, it's nothing like the "Peewee". I even have the litter tray made especially for these pellets... but I couldn't find any. Patjean.

Quality has really declined

I've been using this litter for many years. The quality has definitely gotten worse! Such a shame. The pellets are smaller and more crumbly, and there's a lot more dust. They used to be light and wood-coloured, but now they're getting greyer and greyer. No idea what kind of leftover batches these are. I've already complained about some bags, but unfortunately nothing changes. 👎 Alternatives are unfortunately also hard to find.

Poor quality

Darker, bits of debris, dowels crushed, overall not like what I usually order.
