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.
The best litter in ages
We have three long-haired tomcats and have tried out a lot of different litters. Sweeping two to three times a day was part of the daily routine. But hope dies last, as they say. With this litter, a dream has come true. The flat hasn’t been this clean in ages. It smells neutral and clumps well. The only downside is that the consumption is slightly higher because the larger pellets tend to stick to the scoop more often during cleaning. But we’re happy to accept that.

Don't bother with anything else
I have two Persians, and have tried absolutely EVERYTHING else that there is to try, nothing else comes close to this. Both my Cats are indoor Cats and without this then smell would be unbearable, but instead, other people do not smell anything when they enter the house, and are very surprised that they are indoor cats using a litter tray. It doesn't track either. Dont waste your money on anything else.
Brilliant
I have a Maine Coon tomcat who used to get clumps of litter stuck between his paws after every trip to the toilet. This litter is absolutely brilliant—no more clumps, it lasts a long time, and it's odour-free as long as you clean regularly. Unfortunately, he does track quite a bit of the litter out of the box, and it ends up scattered everywhere. But even that is bearable!

So far, the best litter
We are very satisfied with this litter. We use it in two XXL litter boxes for two cats (EHK and Maine Coon). It is well received and they love digging through it.
The clumps that form are quite large but solid and don’t break into pieces when sieving.
The consumption is acceptable. For us, a 20L bag lasts a month.

The best litter so far!!!!
I've tried many cat litters, but this one is the best you can get! It clumps well, smells very pleasant, doesn't spread around the house, and you can dispose of it in the household toilet, which is really important to me. Oh, and it's low in dust! I'm more than satisfied, highly recommended!!!!!

Maine Coon
Clumping is not as good as with the regular litter, and the consumption is really enormous. Additionally, the odour is not absorbed as well as with the regular litter. The advantage is that there’s less litter scattered around the flat.
I’ll switch back to the regular litter and just vacuum more often.
Negative:
- Excessive consumption
- Odour is not properly absorbed
- Poor clumping
Positive:
- Litter doesn’t end up all over the flat

Pure disappointment...
We were very impressed with the "for non-Persian cats litter". However, since the litter was getting scattered everywhere, we decided to try this one. Unfortunately, we were deeply disappointed.
Extremely high consumption (1 bag = 2 litter box fillings), in my opinion, the odour is not sufficiently contained, and the clumps fall apart when scooping them out. This bothers me the most.
On the positive side, there is noticeably less litter outside the box. But unfortunately, that also means significantly more inside the toilet...
Such a shame.

THE BEST LITTER EVER
We’ve tested lots of litters. I should mention that we have a Norwegian Forest Cat mix with extremely long fur on its paws. With this litter, it’s no longer spread all over the house, just the odd crumb here and there. So for us, this is the only litter that works.

The only litter for us
I find the odour control very good, and it doesn’t create any dust at all. I ordered a tray with grooves to go with it, and now I hardly have any litter to sweep up. Every now and then, I try a different product, but I always come back to this litter. I have Selkirk Rex mixes, and their fur almost attracts other types of litter, but these pellets work perfectly.

Varying quality
My Siberians used to spread the other litter all over the flat with their fur. That doesn’t happen anymore with this litter, at least at first. It has a nice wood scent and genuinely doesn’t produce dust.
At first! Unfortunately, the quality has become quite inconsistent lately. Sometimes it needs to be completely replaced after just a week, whereas with the usual quality, it lasted about two weeks. You can tell by the smell and how the litter becomes finer.
For anyone struggling to dispose of the clumps without having to replace the entire litter box, I recommend the Catit litter scoop, which is available here in three colours.
Note: For those who still don’t read properly or look at photos (like with the size of the pellets...): the scoops are very large. However, they do a great job of removing all clumps or larger pieces while leaving the remaining litter in the box. Highly recommended.

Outstanding product
Tried many different cat litters but this one is by far the best. Very little tracking - no smell - clumps well - easy to flush down the loo - lasts for ages. I wouldn't buy any other.

:(
Unfortunately, it wasn’t clear before ordering that the litter is pressed like wood pellets; otherwise, I wouldn’t have ordered it at all. Although the cats did use it, they were visibly relieved when I switched back to their usual litter.
The pellets really are like wood pellets: small sticks that supposedly clump when wet, but you need a special scoop for them because a regular one removes too much unused litter, resulting in wasted litter. Additionally, the pellets get scattered around, so you end up stepping on them barefoot, which is very painful! While nothing sticks to their fur, the cats tiptoe around in the litter box as if the uncomfortable sticks hurt their paws too...

Slightly higher consumption, but otherwise very good.
At first, I had the Öku Plus and was actually quite satisfied with it, but my two Coonies spread it all over the flat with their long fur. So, vacuuming every other day became a must. However, since I was otherwise very impressed with the material and didn’t necessarily want to switch to clay litter, I ordered the Nature. The two of them accepted the change without any issues, and it’s working really well. The piles are completely buried, and the pee clumps are also fairly easy to remove. Since then, nothing is flying around the flat anymore, and the little bit directly in front of the toilet is quickly cleaned up with a small handheld vacuum.
The only downside is the slightly higher consumption (I get through 2 x 20L in a month), but I’m happy to accept that given the other advantages.

Disappointed Anticipation
After CB Eco's quality has dropped to almost zero, I decided to order CB Gold. It's quite a bit more expensive, but what wouldn't you do for your furry friends and for yourself. :-))
Unfortunately, I was very disappointed!
The flat is cleaner, and dust is almost a thing of the past. BUT... apart from that, I have to fully agree with the experiences of the previous reviewer.
I still don't know what I'll switch to now, but it certainly won't be a product from this manufacturer anymore. :-((

2 problems solved, 4 new ones popped up...
First, the good news: the cat litter really doesn’t spread all over the flat. I have Maine Coons, and the old litter always got stuck in their fur (trousers and tail) and ended up being distributed throughout the flat. The dust generation is practically zero, which is great! So far, so good. However, new problems have emerged as a result.
1. Since the pellets are so large, the piles are no longer buried (it’s not even possible anymore, even though Connie has big paws), and the piles just sit on top.
2. Because the piles simply lie on the litter, they spread a rather noticeable "fragrance" throughout the flat.
3. The pee clumps become very large, and you end up using at least three times as much litter, which really adds up given the price.
4. The clumps are not easy to remove. Although I have a scoop with large holes, some pellets are up to 5cm in size, which defeats any scoop. When trying to "sift" the clumps, they crumble very easily.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this cat litter and will probably switch back to a clay-based litter. The disposal costs via the bin are significantly lower than the purchase price of this litter. I guess I’ll just have to live with the dust again—what a shame!

Finally, no more smell
While searching for litter that’s perfect for both me and my three Coonies, I came across this one.
We had previously used the regular Cat’s Best, but the “sand effect” was just unbearable.
This litter is fantastic.
It smells wonderfully of wood, even after a week. It binds odours really well, and even the Litter Locker bag doesn’t stink as much as it used to when changing it.
And there’s far less litter scattered around the house. The individual pellets that do end up lying around can easily be picked up by hand.
We had to buy a larger scoop so the pellets could fall through – but with that, it works well.
The only downside is that the clumping could be a bit better.
Not to forget, the dust-free quality is truly at 99.9%.
The perfect litter probably doesn’t exist, but this one comes pretty close for us ;-)

The best
Having tried many of the biodegradable litters on the market, I am very pleased with this one. No nasty smells, clumps well, no mess and my house is always clean (I have a ribbed mat for litter boxes witch helps a lot, however with the other brands I still had litter everywhere). My cat has long hair, and it does not stick to his fur.

Unsuitable as cat litter
The pellets become far too large when they come into contact with moisture. You end up using a lot! I think they're suitable for rodents, but not for cats.

Super cat litter
I have a cat, and she gets along with it very well. It creates much less mess compared to regular sand. Urine and faeces are very easy to remove. I would recommend it straight away.
Translated from zooplus.de by zooplus
For long-haired cats, certainly good, but.....
Not as good at clumping as the standard product from the same brand, consumption is about 20% higher, but otherwise it has all the advantages of the product range!!
