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.

Clumps well, no smell, lasts ages
This litter clumps well into a big ball that is easily picked out. The tray doesn’t smell, you can’t even notice it is there. I have a ragdoll and the tracking is very minimal. Whatever he does track, his Mat catches it so no need to hoover multiple times per day. This is flushable so very handy with no need for bin bags to throw the waste litter out.

Brilliant
The best feature of this litter is the clumping. So easy to lift soiled litter out in one lump, leaving the rest of the train clean, which means one bag lasts ages. I barely have to top it up. Also, it doesn't stick to the bottom of the tray, so cleaning is very easy. Only downside compared with Cats Best Universal is it tracks a bit more, but the fact it lasts so long and clumps well means I much prefer it, and it is better value despite the apparently high price per bag. Odour control great.
Low tracking
This is the best cat litter I know, and I've tried loads over the last 20 years. It's a bit heavy but this means the litter stays in the tray. We have an open litter box and almost no litter comes out. This litter also does not stick to my long haired cat's fur. Overall very happy, excellent product. Regarding the clumping, I wait a bit for it to dry, then it clumps OK. Use a scoop with big holes so the unused pellets can fall through. Lasts weeks.

Converted!
This litter has been a vast improvement on our old one. It's a lot pricier at £7 more for a 20l bag, but the benefits far outweigh the cost! Tracking was the reason I wanted to switch. With two maine coons, their fur just tracks litter everywhere. Not a problem anymore! 95% of litter stays in the trays or on the litter mats, and the rest can be easily swept up with dustpan and brush. It clumps well, is flushable, stays fresh, looks and smells great, and cats seem to prefer it too!

Brilliant !!!!!!
I've been using wood pellets for several years now and been happy with it. I had been wasting alot when cleaning the litter tray out so thought I would try this wood pellet litter although I couldn't see how wood pellets would clump!!! I was so amazed when I cleaned her litter the next day , it actually works if amazing. Yes, its expensive but you save money by not having empty the whole tray every two weeks.
So good for our little paw pets
My cat loves these smart pellets, we have tried several different products, this one comes out on top. No mess when kitty comes out of the tray and good to flush down the loo. No more cleaning the tray every week I only clean it every 2 to 3 weeks.

At last something that works
Having a ragdoll with very long pawy hairs he seems to drag cat litter everywhere.
So decided enough was enough and purchased this cat litter a little expensive but definitely a winner.
I am so happy with the results.
Hopefully hoovering 3 times a day will be a thing of the past. Also it clumps together better than my old one.
Such value for money
IMO! I really was surprised by the size of this bag I dunno why it’s deffo gunna last me a couple of months! Very good value

Love this litter
Clumps together so easy to use but only get this as it was what he was used to but it’s very easy to keep clean and keeps the smell away much better then other litters

Super
A product worthy of it's name. It is indeed the best solution for the litter.
Excellent stuff
I've had my 4yo Persian for a month so am a complete newbie to the world of litter. Previous guardian had her on the cheapest supermarket grit. Grim: needed nightly cleaning of the litter, smelly, rough stuff that made us both sneeze. I researched soft clumping litter for Persian paws, chose this and within a day or two she had taken to the smart pellets with no problems. Can't smell anything, easy to scoop and it may sound weird but a JOY to use.
Life changer!
Practically zero tracking! Used to be driven mad by litter everywhere when using the cats best other type, which was better than others, but these smart pellets are brilliant!!!

Cat litter
By far the best for me Sapphire is a Ragdoll so very fluffy, does not stick to her paws so less tracking through house. Love it..👌🏻🏴

The best for long hair cats
Life changing... flushes brilliantly, no more bad smells, minimal tracking in his fluffy furry feet and he’s less bothered about digging!
|
No more tracking (almost!)
Cats like traditional ‘Cats Best’ and so did I until I discovered their pellets. Nowhere near as messy. Cats are ok with it too. Good clumping, low odour and dust. Economical too despite high price.

Totally Converted!
Litter tends to be a trade-off - with good clumping they tend to be bad for tracking, and vice versa. I used Oko Plus for many years, and just lived with it everywhere! Tried this towards the end of my old boy's life when he had a bad paw, as I needed something dust-free that wouldn't stick. It's brilliant, I'm sticking with it for my new two! Virtually no tracking, the clumps are softer but can be scooped easily if left to harden a little first. Seems to be lasting well so far too, very happy!

Best litter available!
Having three house cats has always been messy, I have used Cat’s Best for years and been happy with it apart from the tracking...it gets everywhere! By the time I’ve hoovered the stairs and turned back round there is more there! Decided to try the smart pellets despite the price difference and I am not disappointed. Tracking is virtually non-exsistent especially as my cats have litter trays that they jump out of so it falls off them. I’m so pleased I changed and won’t be going back!

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!

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.

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.

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!*

Clumps well and doesn't smell
I've been using this for 2 months now and I'm very happy with it. There's a little bit of tracking, but much less than with regular litter. With 20 litres, it lasts me 2 months for one cat. The clumps are indeed quite big, but my cat doesn't mind at all. Every evening I scoop out two big clumps and that's it, good to go. The tray doesn't smell and there's no dust either. Only when the pellets have been in there for a while and you don't empty it completely, you get a bit of sawdust at the bottom, but it's not bothersome.

Smart Pellets are always excellent
My cat is used to them, they're easy to clean up and pick up, and they leave very little residue on her paws.
They're small pellets and my cat uses them without any issues now.

Hardly any dust
We've already tried out different types of litter and in the end, we've stuck with CatsBest Smart Pellets. It clumps well, creates hardly any dust when pouring it in, and our cats like it too (with other litters, they sometimes sneezed, but not with this one). Of course, the litter still gets spread around the house, but it's not too bad (the pellets are coarse, so it's easier to sweep up).

So much easier to clean!
If some of the "litter" doesn't stay inside, it's super easy to sweep or hoover up, and it doesn't leave behind dust like other types of litter. It's honestly the only litter our tomcat can tolerate, especially because it produces so little dust. It also clumps brilliantly!

The Best
Out of all the types of litter from this company, this one is the best. It absorbs smells and urine really well, and you can flush it down the toilet. No downsides. Only advantages.
